CONTINUING with final points from Professor Cherry's lecture:
29. END OF WW2. SOME IMMIGRATION TO THE LAND OF ISRAEL. ON NOVEMBER 29TH 1947, THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY NOTED TO PARTITION PALESTINE INTO JEWISH AND ARAB STATES, WITH JERUSALEM UNDER INTERNATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY.
THE PARTITION PLAN PASSED BY A MARGIN OF 33 TO 13, WITH THE USA AND RUSSIA VOTING IN FAVOR. BRITAIN ABSTAINED AND STATED IT WOULD DO NOTHING TO ENFORCE THE PLAN. SO MUCH FOR THE BALFOUR DECLARATION TO ESTABLISH A HOME STATE FOR THE JEWS.
30. ON MAY 14TH 1948, DAVID BEN-GURION PROCLAIMED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL.
31. THE 1947 UN OFFER TO THE JEWS WAS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN WHAT ZIONISTS HAD DREAMED OF. BUT IT WAS A STATE FOR THEM, SO THEY ACCEPTED THE UN RESOLUTION. THE ARABS AGAIN REJECTED THE PLAN.
32. ON MAY 15TH 1948: EGYPT, SYRIA, TRANS-JORDAN, SAUDI ARABIA, LEBANON, AND IRAQ, ALL SENT TROOPS AGAINST ISRAEL. TO WIPE OUT THE JEWS AND TO PUSH THEM INTO THE SEA.
33. THE ARABS LOST MORE TERRITORY TO THE JEWS THAN WHAT THE UN HAD OFFERED THEM.
34. JERUSALEM WAS CONTROLLED BY JORDAN UNTIL 1967 AND THE 6 DAY WAR.
35. THE PROCESS OF CREATING A STATE FOR PALESTINIANS IS STILL IN THE "WORKING OUT STAGE" - BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT THE PALESTINIANS SHOULD HAVE THEIR OWN STATE.
36. DESPITE WARS, TERRORISM, BOYCOTTS, ETC. THE STATE OF ISRAEL SUPPLIES A HOME FOR JEWS. ISRAEL'S CONTRIBUTION IN HIGH TECHNOLOGY, MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY, HEALTH CARE, AGRICULTURE, SOLAR ENERGY, LEND A DEGREE OF CREDIBILITY AS TO WHAT IS WRITTEN IN CONSERVATIVE AND MODERN ORTHODOX PRAYER BOOKS.
37. THE STATE OF ISRAEL IS THE BEGINNING OF THE FLOWERING OF REDEMPTION. BUT THIS IS A CONTROVERSIAL CLAIM. FOR THE ZIONISTS WHO BROUGHT THE DESERT TO BLOOM, WHO BUILT THE FARMS AND ORCHARDS, WERE NOT GOVERNED BY MESSIANIC FERVOR, OR TRADITIONAL JUDAISM. FOR THEM IT WAS THE DESIRE TO SOLVE THE JEWISH PROBLEM. TO HAVE A NATIONAL HOME SO JEWS COULD BE JUST LIKE ANY OTHER PEOPLE.
38. DAVID BEN-GURION SAID, "WE WANT TO BE A NORMAL PEOPLE, WITH COPS AND ROBBERS, POLICEMEN, AND PROSTITUTES, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE." AND ISRAEL DOES HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF THEM IN SOCIETY NOW.
39. ISRAEL HAS A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. ISRAEL DOES NOT YET HAVE A CONSTITUTION. IN THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE "GOD" IS NOT MENTIONED.
40. CONSERVATIVE AND ORTHODOX JEWS UNDERSTAND REDEMPTION IS NOT HERE, BUT REDEMPTION CAN'T HAPPEN UNLESS THE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE BACK IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL. JEWS CAN STILL LIVE OUTSIDE THE LAND OF ISRAEL, BUT IN ORDER FOR JEWISH MISSION TO BE COMPLETE, THE JEWS NEED TO HAVE A NATION, IN ORDER TO ACTUALIZE THAT BIBLICAL MODEL OF LIVING RIGHTEOUSLY IN GOD'S EYES, NOT JUST AS INDIVIDUALS, BUT AS A COMMUNITY AND AS A NATION.
JUDAISM IS OPTIMISTIC - A HISTORY - A NOW - A FUTURE - THERE IS DIRECTION, AND EVEN IN A BAD WORLD WE CANNOT DESPAIR.
..........
WHAT THE ZIONISTS DO NOT KNOW IS THAT THE 7 TIMES OF PUNISHMENT WAS OVER IN 1917 [360 DAYS X 7 INTO YEARS - FROM 604 B.C. TO 1917 A.D.] AND HENCE THEY COULD ESTABLISH A HOMELAND ONCE MORE. ESTABLISHING A HOME LAND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH END TIME PROPHECY, BUT ONLY THAT THEIR PUNISHMENT OF 7 TIMES WAS OVER.
THE JEWS WILL YET [AS ALL ISRAELITE NATIONS] HAVE TO FACE END TIME DESTRUCTION AS A NATION, WITH A SCATTERING, AND ONLY ABOUT 1/10 LEFT ALIVE AT THE COMING OF CHRIST. THEN REDEMPTION IN REAL REPENTANCE, AND A RETURN TO THE LAND OF PROMISE, UNDER THE MESSIAH CHRIST JESUS. MOST OF ALL BIBLE PROPHECY THAT IS YET TO COME, IS FOR THE LAST 42 MONTHS, or 3 AND 1/2 YEARS, OF THE VERY END OF THIS AGE, AND THEN INTO THE NEW AGE THAT IS TO COME.
