I found THIS MAP to be really interesting today. The people of Israel have been taken over and enslaved countless times by countless empires throughout history since the dawn of time. (Except for the brief period of "Kings and Chronicles" when Israel was actually a sovereign nation with kings (David, Solomon, etc.)

I found it interesting, because the Bible says that in the Last Days, one of the signs we should look for, is that Isreal will get it's sovereignty back and all the jews who were spread all over the world could return to their own sovereign nation again. Throughout all 2000 years since the Bible was finished being written (more years if you go back to the old testament days) Israel has been kicked around and not taken seriously at all. Hell, Hitler tried to obliterate them. But now, in the past 50 years, they've become a sovereign nation again. No one would have guessed, judging by the past 4000 years of history, that that would EVER happen. But the Bible did. It knew it would happen 2000 years ago.

That just amazes me. There is no way I could ever doubt that God is who he says he is, or that His word is true. It is proven more and more true every day.
