it is ironic, but up until the nation state of Israel took power of the land in 47/48, the whole area was a desert (practically speaking that is).
There was very little growing there and no-one really wanted the land. The certainly weren't fighting over it then.
Now look at it, the lands are blossoming and the fields are producing fruit in massiver amounts (particlarly those tasty little oranges). If this is not the fulfillment of prophecy, i do not know what is.
God is at work and it is clear for anyone with an eye to see, to see it. Recently, the pool of Siloam was uncovered (another prophetic gesture).....
where will it all stop.
