There is a modern secular state called Israel that exists. Is it akin to biblical Israel? Hardly.
Of course it's secular...as secular as the Bible belt is in this country if you want to talk about secular. It tries to be secular but the orthodox jews, catholics, protestants,muslims, Greek orthodox,Kabbalists,would be third temple builders, ect won't let Israel be secular. The Palestinians want to drive the Jews into the sea... it's a religious point of view you see. Some Ultra orthodox Rabinnical students tried to lay a corner stone for the third temple at the edge of the old temple(Dome of the Rock complex), argueing that scripture doesn't say that the temple has to be built on the exact spot as Solomon's old temple...just near bye.(True...despite what a bunch of premillenialists would argue, while the temple is supposed to be rebuilt, no where in the Bible does it say it has to be built on the exact same spot as the former temple...you see Tomcat I get flamed from the LB'ers for holding the same view as those cornerstone laying Rabbi's)
My main point is this, Israel can make believe all it wants to that it is a secular society, but history and destiny won't let it be so...! They still keep God at arms length while desperately seeking his face at the same time!
