The Tremendous Prophecy of Micah
An important additional proof of modern Israel's identity
is found in a fantastic, detailed and
most specific
proph–
ecy found in Micah 5:7-15.
It
is speaking specifically
about the "remnant" of lsrael-modern Israel
today–
wherever it is. It describes the
wealth,

remnant of Jacob
shall be in the
midst of many people [nations] as a dew from the Lord, as

through the First World War, the Second World War ,
until the turning point of the Korean War at the end of
1950.
.
Since that time, however, these blessings are surely
being
taken away-and
neither America nor Britain has
come out"on top in any major skirmish since that time!
So this prophecy shows that
at the very time
we were
receiving God's blessings, we were a tremendous BLESSING
to the other nations of the eartb-for it is

have rescued the other nations of the world time and again
