“The state of Israel will be based on freedom, justice and peace in the spirit of the visions of the prophets of Israel,” is what it says literally in Israel’s Declaration of Independence from 1948. What were Israel’s politicians and rabbis thinking back then when they appealled to the prophets and mentioned their prophecies in the declaration of the founding of the Jewish state? The biblical promise was the political trigger for the founding of the State of Israel. So someone must have perceived the visions of the prophets, and that is not something that can be taken for granted, especially not in the politically correct world in which we live.
Israel’s politicians
The words of the prophets were not only taken into account for technical reasons when the state was founded, but over the course of 75 years, Israel’s politicians have repeatedly relied on the words and visions of the prophets. Especially in the first decades, Israel’s politicians clearly understood that Israel’s existence would not be possible without the visions of the prophets.

Alleluia! Thank you for this great article. Without a respect for the vision of he prophets the secular nations will never understand the unique nation of Israel. Christian expositors of end time prophecy who isolate the return of the Messiah from the regathering and reconstruction of Israel distort the Hope of world redemption given through the great prophets, from Abraham to Zechariah.
