The Week in Bible Prophecy, a Prophecy Watchers podcast.

Welcome to the podcast this week, everyone. I am sitting here with Dr. Mark Hitchcock. Welcome, Mark.

Thank you. Great to be with you. And we're going to be discussing really some, a lot of things

been going on as it relates to Israel and the Trump peace plan, the 20-point plan.

And so we're going to kind of unpack a lot of that today.

But I want to start off right here at the beginning because we're going to be talking about not only Israel present, but also their future.

And I'll read you a quote, which I find fascinating from 1920. This is from

Clarence Lark in a book. And he's talking as well about the history of Israel and the future of Israel.

And he says this, if it were suggested that we discuss the future of any other nation than the

Jewish nation, I for one would not attempt it, for the task would

be simply a speculative one based on probabilities that would be likely to be upset by

unforeseen circumstances. But the Jewish nation has the unique distinction of having for its

historian the Holy Spirit, who has not simply recorded the past history of that nation,

but has outlined its future. We indulge then in no idle and profitless speculations when we

attempt to forecast the future of the Jewish people. All we have to do is to gather together

and place in their logical order what the Holy Spirit through the prophets has

foretold of their future. The method is as simple as the result is sure. Just your thoughts on that

very, I think a powerful statement from 1920. I love the way people wrote back then.

It's very eloquent, you know, a little more formally stated. Yeah, it's a great, it's a great statement. Now, I do think there are a few other nations in the Bible. We can know a little bit about, you know, from the prophets as well, but nothing like what we know about Israel, because obviously Israel is God's timepiece. God's made promises to them and covenants with them, the Abraham, the David. And so we know

what Israel's future is going to be at least in a panorama or in a sketch. And really a lot of very

specific details about what's going to happen in Israel. So I love that. Yeah, you go, most other nations,

you just start talking about, well, like, you know, people ask about American Bible prophecy.
