Why Israel Exists: Excellent Article!

An excellent piece that per Amir Tsarfati’s research with the help of AI tools and written by Berel Salomon:

There’s something about Israel that makes people uncomfortable, and it’s not what they say it is.
They’ll point to politics, settlements, borders, and wars. But scratch beneath the outrage, and you’ll find something deeper. A discomfort not with what Israel does, but with what Israel is.
A nation this small should not be this strong. Period.
Israel has no oil. No special natural resources. A population barely the size of a mid-sized American city. They are surrounded by enemies. Hated in the United Nations. Targeted by terror. Condemned by celebrities. Boycotted, slandered, and attacked.
And still, they thrive like there’s no tomorrow.
In military. In medicine. In security. In technology. In agriculture. In intelligence. In morality. In sheer, unbreakable will.
They turn desert into farmland.
They make water from air.
They intercept rockets in mid-air.
They rescue hostages under the nose of the world’s worst regimes.
They survive wars that were supposed to wipe them out, and win.
The world watches this and can’t make sense of it.
So they do what people do when they witness strength they can’t understand.
They assume it must be cheating.
It must be American aid.
It must be foreign lobbying.
It must be oppression.
It must be theft.
It must be some dark trick that gave the Jews this kind of power.
It must be blackmail.
Because heaven forbid it’s something else.
Heaven forbid it’s real.
Heaven forbid it’s earned.
Or worse, destined.
The Jewish people were supposed to disappear a long, long time ago. That’s how the story of exiled, enslaved, hated minorities is supposed to end. But the Jews didn’t disappear. They actually came home, rebuilt their land, revived their language, and brought their dead back to life — in memory, in identity, and in strength.
That’s not normal.
It’s not political.
It’s biblical.
There’s no cheat code that explains how a group of people return to their homeland after 2,000 years.
There is no rational path from gas chambers to global influence.
And there is no historical precedent for surviving the Babylonians, the Romans, the Crusaders, the Inquisition, the pogroms, and the Holocaust, and still showing up to work on Monday in Tel Aviv.
Israel doesn’t make sense.
Unless you believe in something beyond the math.
This is what drives the world crazy. Because if Israel is real, if this improbable, ancient, hated nation is somehow still chosen, protected, and thriving, then maybe God isn’t a myth after all.
Maybe He’s still in the story.
Maybe history isn’t random.
Maybe evil doesn’t get the last word.
Maybe the Jews are not just a people… but a testimony.
That’s what they can’t stand.
Because once you admit that Israel’s survival isn’t just impressive, but divine, everything changes. Your moral compass has to reset. Your assumptions about history, power, and justice collapse. You realize you’re not watching the end of an empire. You’re witnessing the beginning of something eternal.
So they deny it.
They smear it.
And rage against it.
Because it’s easier to call a miracle “cheating” than to face the possibility that God keeps His promises.
And He’s keeping them still!

Never Too Far

I’ve said it before. Once you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, there is no place you can go that He is not there. You can’t run fast enough or far enough to out-distance Him. Turn around. Wherever you are, just turn around. He’s right there with you.

Genesis 28:15 NASB1995 “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”

Throughout scriptures, the LORD promises to never leave us or forsake us. I know His Word is true. I’ve done lots of running, and inserted myself into plenty of sketchy situations and truly ugly circumstances. I was never alone, despite doing everything I could to drown out that quiet voice in my head. He delivered me out of all the follies I chose for myself, but – and this is important to remember – He did not relieve me of the consequences of my actions.

Pastor Mark Hitchcock said “God destroys His enemies by making them His friends; but those who don’t become friends, will be destroyed by Him.”

Are you His friend? Have you made the ultimate decision? GOD through Christ has given us the opportunity to reconcile with Him. It is our sin that separates us from Him, and it is Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross that can reconcile us to Him – IF we choose it. Jesus is The Mediator, The Gospel. He came, He died, He rose from the dead. Simply the most complex and the most simple thing ever to happen.

Be aware though, and don’t fall for an imposter:

2 Corinthians 11:14-15 NASB1995 “No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.

Remember, you can’t run away from the LORD. No matter what you do, no matter where you go, once you are adopted into His family you will never be alone again.

Romans 8:38-39 NASB1995 “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
