I am pretty much talking about that 7-day war where it was OBVIOUS by all accounts and measure Israel should have lost. Just the fact that they remain a soverign Nation is somewhat of a miracle IMO.

You mean like raising the dead or making the blind see?

We know that God controls the affairs of men, and that nations rise and fall according to His good pleasure and purpose. Israel would not exist as a sovereign nation if it were not for His will. But then again neither would the USA, South Africa, or communist China.

The danger is in looking at events and seeing the hand of God as fulfilling a particular [b:960d4d76b5]revealed[/b:960d4d76b5] plan. It may seem like a "miracle" to you because you have been schooled in a theology that emphasizes end time events are presently being fulfilled.

The question is does the Six-Day War qualify as some revealed miracle from God. I do not think this idea can be supported. Israel as a nation could go away tomorrow.
