So, Israel,  May 15, 1948......
 
Now, Israel is 64 years old.
 
By 2018, she will be 70 years old.  Just 6 years from now!!
 
LOTS of people are looking at the next 6 years, if not this year alone - 2012 - as the MOST challenging years in the life of Israel.
 
Israel is on the verge of having to, once again, FIGHT for her existence.
Israel's enemies are gathering strength, and a commitment to her destruction, ALL AROUND HER-----like never before.
Israel's government is as STRONG as it has EVER BEEN - with the new coming together of it's leadership.
 
ISRAEL - May, 1948  - the SINGLE GREATEST Prophetic Sign of our times!
 
TICK TOCK,
YFIC,

PS......some prophetic Jewish scholars believe there will be a 70 year period "tribulation" before their Messiah comes....and they also believe the LAST 7 years would be the "greatest tribulation" just before He comes.
 
Hmmmmmm.....We (Christians and Jews) are looking for the SAME Messiah..the SAME person.  It's just that the Christians are looking for His RETURN...and the Jews for the first coming.
 
Revelation 1:7 Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen.
 
And...we are BOTH looking for a 7 year Tribulation just before His coming/return?  Boy, aren't we all (almost) on the exact same page....watching for the exact same things...and this, with all of Israel's enemies gathering around her like never before, since she was RE BORN...in a day.  Isaiah 66:8 "Can a nation be born in a day?"   
 
 
PPS........I posted on this last fall.  (don't let the website put you off! At the very least, the numbers are INTERESTING!)  Here's just a couple....
 
Israel turns 70 in 2018.  That is the Hebrew year 5778.
 
(From the Divine Calendar: Google it and download it for free..)

King David was born in the Hewbrew Year 2854, and he died 70 years later.
That means he had lived 1/2 his life in Hwbrew Year 2889.
Hmmmmm.......  multiply 2889 by 2....and you get Hebrew year 5778, or 2018!
 
Wouldn't it be interesting IF at the point of the great King David's 1/2 life....you might also have the 1/2 life ot world, until the RETURN of Jesus Christ?
 
Another quick date-point.
 
Abraham was born in Hebrew year 1948.  The GREAT Father of Israel.
 
What else was born in 1948?  But, 1948 on OUR Calendar....
 
Israel was of course born in 1948 AD......!!!   Hmmmmm.....  coincidence?
 
This book says NO to date coincidences.  These are just 2 of MANY like that.  ONLY GOD COULD DO THAT!!  And, yes, the dates ARE IMPORTANT!!
 
With 5778 (2018) so very near.... things sure are HEATING UP on the Gods' Prophetic Calendar aren't they?? !!
