Thanks for the info!

So the 10 Northern tribes weren't lost afterall?

[exmarine]

if they're miraculous, then they wouldn't be studied as examples of strategic insight.

Are miracles limited to that which cannot be explained? Nope. God repeatedly used armies and nations to do his bidding in the OT, e.g. God brought Assyria and Babylon against Israel and Judah when they resorted to idolatry. For the sake of argument, let us dispense with the word miracle and simply say that God's hand is in Israel's existence. You can attribute Israel's victories to strategic and tactical superiority if you like, but I believe God's hand is in it. I believe Israel's very existence is very difficult to explain away. Can you name another nation that reformed after 2000 years?

[exmarine]

No, I do not believe they were lost.

By the way, military strength will not save a nation that God wants to destroy. The northern kingdom of Israel was at its peak of power when it was obliterated by the Assyrians. God uses other nations and armies to punish wicked nations (as he used Joshuas armies to punish the Canaanites). All empires fall because all empires progress eventually towards morally and politically awfulness (U.S. is headed that direction now).

If the Palestinians are really like the American Indians, then the best way to settle the dispute is to let the Palestinians run all the casinos in Israel.

Been there. Done that.

Bump.

in '73, it was more like richard nixon's resupply effort.

no. its quite simple. look at the story. one reason can be that they are the #1 recipient of the #1 giver of military aid.

IF aid is the key, then why are Egypt and Palestine so weak? hmm? Israel bought some F-15's and 16's, and guess what - they made the aircraft BETTER! They also have better trained pilots, and a more efficient system of pilot rotation. Israel doesn't need our aid to beat the daylights out of the likes of Arafat, Syria, Arafat and Hussein. They just need the moral courage and will - something the schizphrenic Bush Administration knows nothing about.

The Arabs were loaded to the gills with weapons in '48, '67 and '73, and far outnumbered the surrounded nation of Israel with its back to the sea, but got their tails kicked. It was a greater upset than the Colonists against the Brits in the Rev. War. Prophesied thousands of years before, also.

In Genesis 15, God promises all of the land between the Nile and the Euprates to all of the descendants of Abraham. This includes both Isaac, the father of the Jews and Ishmael, the father of the Arabs. It includes Jews but is not exclusive to Jews.
