A NATION BORN IN A DAY
A land flowing
with milk and honey
Was born in a day,
but the day wasn’t sunny.
The Jews would
regain their ancient land.
Truman said, “Sign
it!” ‘Twas an ordained plan.
For Jews and for
Arabs the land was divided –
The Jews rejoiced,
but the Arabs derided
The U.N. body that
gave them a nation.
They couldn’t get
along with their blood relations!
The Arabs said
“No!” ‘Cause they wanted it all,
And they would
fight; they delighted to brawl.
Then before the
Jews could lose all hope,
Ben Gurion called
an assembly to vote.
He declared the
State of Israel official.
The Jews
celebrated, but the Arabs bristled!
Ready to attack
the very next day,
They had gathered
seven armies to join in the fray!
The Jews had only
a rag-tag band,
But determined
like Maccabees, they would make a stand!
It was six-hundred
thousand versus eighty million strong!
Who was in the
right, and who was in the wrong?
And how did it end
when the dust had settled?
Israel won the war
and had proven her mettle!
God had shown He
was on their side –
Angels were busy,
knocking down Arab pride.
Miracles abounded,
and the whole world was shocked!
Scripture was
fulfilled, and mysteries were unlocked.
Revelation twelve
paints the story of this war:
The woman was
Israel whom the dragon stood before,
Ready to devour
the nation soon as born,
Fragile as an
infant, but it would not be torn.
God would keep His
covenant with all of Jacob’s tribes.
His chosen people
Israel in victory still abides!
Isaiah sixty-six,
verse eight foretold this very day,
Nineteen
forty-eight the year, the fourteenth day of May!
Truman was the
first to call and praise this tiny nation,
The Holy Land and
people God had chosen, His creation!
