I read
recently that some years ago the King of Prussia
had a discussion with his chaplain on the veracity of the Bible. The king said to the chaplain, “Tell me in a
word the proof that the Bible is the inspired Word of God.”
The
chaplain replied, “Your Majesty, I can prove to you in a single word that the
Bible is the Word of God.”
The king
looked at him in amazement and said, “What is the magic word that would carry
such weight of proof with it?”
The
chaplain replied, “Your Majesty, that word is Israel.”
And, of
course, he was right. There are other
single words that also prove the Bible – words such as sin, salvation, and Christ; but the history of the people of Israel is
sufficient to show that a divine breath came down upon men who held the pens
that wrote the Word of God.
God
promises to bless the nation that blesses Israel. As long as America
continues to bless Israel,
God will continue to bless America. On the other hand, Iraq
has cursed Israel,
and look at their history of heartache and pain.
God told
us that Israel
would be the focal point of prophecy, and it is. Study Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and
Revelation chapter 12. We are told that Israel would be
scattered but would return to their homeland (Jeremiah 12:15).
The word Israel
alone proves that God’s Word, the Bible, is true.
What to do: ✞Start your Bible study as a young
Christian in John, I, II, and III John. ✞As a mature believer, increase
your Bible study to such topics as Israel, the Church, the blood of
Jesus, etc.
✞Pray for wisdom as you study; and as always, be
a doer of the Word, not a hearer only.
