The Secret History of Modern Israel

July 15, 2024

THE MODERN STATE OF ISRAEL is not the product of a conspiracy to deceive Christians into supporting the dark side.


If Satan had wanted to create a “fake Israel,” he certainly went about it in a strange way. This week, we summarize the political intrigues of the first half of the 20th century both for and against the creation of an independent Jewish state.


In a nutshell, Israel’s Declaration of Independence on May 14, 1948 happened despite intense resistance from American, British, German, Russian, and Arab interests, both government and private, as well as pressure from the Vatican to give it control of the holy sites in Palestine. The fact that Jews in Palestine were able to overcome these obstacles and secure the United Nations vote in November of 1947 to grant them a homeland was nearly miraculous.


It seems to us that a “fake Israel” would have faced far fewer stumbling blocks on the way to becoming a reality.
