Quotes About Israel

Like David uniting Judah and Israel, but to no avail, Bright's textbook facilitated an uneasy union between theology and history that has not held among most historians today.

It is interesting to note that Israel cannot live in her land today and have peace while she continues to reject God. It is not Russia or the Arabs that are giving Israel so much trouble; it is God.

This is the evidence of the hand of God in the affairs of the world.

Our society is illuminated by the spiritual insights of the Hebrew prophets. America and Israel have a common love of human freedom, and they have a common faith in a democratic way of life.

The true issue at stake in the exodus account is not the hostilities between Moses and Pharaoh, or between Moses and the Egyptian magicians, or between Israel and Egypt. What is most important is the contest and battle between Yahweh, the God of Israel, and the Egyptian deities, in particular Re and Pharaoh.
