““If I had to pick one earthly evidence to show that times are ripe for the second coming, it would be in the nation of Israel. Israel, fighting for its existence, when even the United States seems to be ready to desert her. Israel, the disobedient child of God, regathered to confound the world at the power of God. Israel, the tiny waif, pressed on every side by threats of destruction. Israel, conquering the nations around her to the amazement of all, and taking back her glorious capital of Jerusalem. Who would have thought that God really meant what he said? And yet, we see the end times coming together just as he ordained, and Israel is the center of it all.””
