If you've read this before, skip it. The Biblical prophecies concerning Israel are being deliberately fulfilled today. The nation of Israel was created after WWII as a gift to the Jewish people in fulfillment of the prophecies. There is no reason to assume that there is any "magic" whatsoever in the prophecies; they are self-fulfilling. If they were lost, came true, and then were dug up, that would show something. As it is, it's a totally mundane process that lends no credence to the Bible. Tim Maroney
