Just as in antiquity, these last seventy years and more have known many nations coming against Israel and have tried to decimate her, or even simply disenfranchise her of the capital of the State, Jerusalem (ZECH 12:1-2). Why is this? Why should this tiny nation about the size of New Jersey, with no significant harbor, land mass, integral infrastructures or pertinent resource be the cause of such global angst and obsession?
The USA and a handful of nations only recently relocated their embassies to Jerusalem, whereas the vast remainder keeps theirs in Tel Aviv, the city that the world insists is the true capital of Israel).
Quite recently we have witnessed things heating up in the Middle East, and while things seem to be simmering down . . . somewhat at least in perception, the potential for major crisis of the militant warfare is still very present.
