Israel becoming a nation is one of them. There are so many end-time prophesies that require Israel to be back in the land, and for 1800 that just wasn't the case, and seemed inconceivable.

Over eleven million people were killed in the Holocaust. Because of Hitler’s hatred for Jews, over six million people of that eleven million were Jews. In these tough times, heroes were needed.

In Hitler’s rein, Nazi’s…
