WHY DO MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THE ISRAEL’S PROBLEMS ARE A PROPHECY?

About of the causes of Israel’s problems, the people have said many things. That problems’ beginning many years before Christ and always has knocked to the Israel’s town. Many specialists of the topic affirm that these problems are God’s prophecies toward the Israel town.

But, why do many people believe that the Israel’s problems are a prophecy? The history goes back about 2000 years before Christ. Israel beginning with the called that god did to a man named Abraham the following: “Veto of your earth and the house of your father, to the Earth that I will show to you. And I will make of you a nation, and I will bless to you, and I will exalt your name, and you will be blessing: And I will bless all the people that bless to you, and all the Earth families will be blessed in you.” (Genesis 12:1-3)

Later God makes a pact with Abraham (the "Abrahámico pact"), and in which God promises to give him a earth to him(Genesis 12), the same one that occupies Israel today. In that Abraham time (Iraq) was in Ur of Chaldea and from God it called it there to come to this "engaged earth". Abraham had two sons Isaac and Ismael. Isaac was Abraham’s successor and God changed him his name for “Israel”. And chose him, for that he will continue with the promise. Isaac had 12 sons that were the 12 Israel’s tribes and God chose Jude’s tribe. That, time later will be a great nation. And was finally Joshua how achieved that the town enter to the engaged earth. And began the judge’s period.

Many years later, in the David time, the town prospered and Israel was world-wide power, and was established the limits of the territory. David conquered the city of Jerusalem and this was his capital. Since that moment Jerusalem became the Israel heart, and the seat of his kingdom. After David dead, Salomon, his son took his throne and he became the third king of Israel. God revealed to him that he would be the builder of the temple that David wanted to make. This temple, that was one of the wonders of the world, was finished constructing in 960 b.C.

The Bible says that Salomon brought women of different places in violation from the Word of God this caused the division of Israel’s town. Salomon broke divine laws. When Salomon died, Roboam, his son, put more pressure. The town divided itself in which it is called "the Kingdom of the South" and "the Kingdom of the north". The Israelite town divided itself because of his king. This period of history is called the period of "Pre-exile".

Later of this division, Nauconodosor, the Babylonia king attacked Jerusalem 3 times; he took many prisoners, killed many people, destroyed the temple and set fire the city. In 586 b.C, finished the Davidic kingdom and began “the heathens' time”. In 539 b.C. the Jews return again to Jerusalem and reconstructed the temple.

Jesus Christ had prophesied that Jerusalem would be dominated again by the gentiles, and that would destroy the reconstructed temple again, until "the times of the gentiles" were marked (Lucas 21:24). And thus it happened! In year 70 a.C General Romano Tito put site to the city of Jerusalem.

Those were the causes because the people say that the Israel’s problems are biblical prophecies. But with the things that continue next, we will see why these prophecies are verified.

The modern history of the Israel’s town could be initiated when the first Zionist Congress in 1897 a.C was mentioned. This was led by a man called Teodoro Herlz, who was Hebrew and felt desire to make this congress. For such Congress 206 Jews in Basel and Switzerland met, to initiate the "Zionist Movement", that motivated the Jews to return to his earth. When is reviewed the history of the Jews in "the Average Age", we will see that they suffered enough. At the time of Columbus, thousands of Jews were thrown of Spain. Of Spain the Jews immigrated to many parts of the South America, Turkey and many countries. Thus the saying in Deuteronomy 28 was fulfilled, in the sense that the Jew would not have rest and that would be hated and persecuted. Let us remember the terrible holocaust Jewish in World War II, when six million Jews were assassinated in Europe. This holocaust impelled to million Jews to look for a safe place where to live, a mother country. And, which other place better, but in Palestine?

In World War I, the victory of the allies is threatened by lack of dynamite. But Weizmann, a scientist and Jewish chemistry invents a substitute who allowed that the allies restocked their ammunition, to continue the battle and to gain the victory. In compensates and in fulfillment of the desire of Chaim Weizmann the call is approved "Balfour Declaration" so that to the Jewish town was given a homeland again in the region of Palestinian. In that then, to beginning of the century XX, Palestine was under English control. But when the English allies were going to give to the territory from Palestine to the Jews, the Arabs took part and protested; reason for which, the Israel’s town only could receive the 1/4, whereas the Arabs obtained the 3/4 parts of the territory.

In 1947 d.C., the united Nations gave to Israel their earth so that this town returned to be a sovereign country and free. The Israeli flag returned to float on "the Mount of Sión", on "the Mount of the Olive trees". But the enemies of Israel were furious. On the following day a group of Arab countries declares the war to Israel, but the chosen town wins. In 1956, President Nasser of Egypt said that he was going to destroy the Jewish state. He closed the Suez Channel to strangle economically the country, but from a wonderful way, Israel won the war again. In the year of 1967 a.C, was another war that was called "the War of the Six Days". This was a war that amazed the world. Until now the political analysts they do not understand how Israel can win the Arab nations. Of in an incredible way, Israel took four times the terrain that it had, and Jerusalem returned to be at hands of the Jews in 1967 a.C. Therefore, with it reconquers of Jerusalem by the Jews; the prophecy of Christ was fulfilled exactly. "The times of the gentile ones" was fulfilled in 1967 a.C., after almost two millennium of non-Jewish domain on the loved city.

At the moment Israel has not feared any other war more, although the Bible prophesies that there will be more powerful, which will involve world-wide powers, such as European Russia, China, and nations.

THE HEN OF THE GOLD EGGS

I had never been as lucky as the day that completed three months without work. I retired my work because was very hard and so stressful. Two months later, I didn’t have any work.
One day, after two months I went to remove money in automatic cashier. I inserted my card, I keyed in my number and I chose the amount. The cashier made is customary small noise like “it is thinking”. I hoped to see $100.000, which I requested from it, when I saw come 10 bills from $50.000 instead of two.
I did not remember to have bad keying; the keys of $ 500.000 are sufficiently separated like committing that error. I turned around to see all sides and it has not seen any me. Later I requested that it give the balance to me, my wage is complete. Then I tried to remove another $100.000, to see what happened. I keyed en amount, the teller makes the small noise and I hope. Again they leave other $500.000. I pocked it so fast, I watched all sides, is nobody watching me. I proved again and left other $500.000, and again other $500.000. I already had three thousand million pesos. Should I remain or I continue?
The following day, I asked for my statement of account in a bank agency. My money followed intact until the last cent. Again I removed $500.000 from $500.000, and the balance follow equal. I returned to the other day and other $500.000. I had found the hen of gold eggs. I was faithful to the amount of five thousands, if I passes it, probably I would finish the enchantment.
After ten days doing the same, the cashier seemed an exhaustible source of money, but I took care of my self, not saying nothing to anybody anything, because the spell could be broken. Then I thought about I wanted all that, if that was not mine. I would have to be honest and to go to the police. But then I though then he was going to me to go imprisoned, and the policemen would steal it to him, and it was not a good plan.
I spent another ten days and I already had ten millions pesos. My statement of account followed as if nothing. I hadn’t answered any called from the bank. People apparently retired its money normally of the cashier. I decided to stop it there, to destroy the card and request a replacement from the bank. When the last week they gave the new card to me, I went to the cashier and happily I removed only $100.000 and at this time it was from my account. Not yet I don’t have decided what to do with the money, only I have been spent $500.000 because I am using only credit card. I don’t know; maybe I’ll donate it to charity works, or travel to Europe, I don’t know. What has me a little nervous is that yesterday in the afternoon I saw two men that walked around and they seemed a little worried.

HOW THE CULTURE INFLUY IN THE BUSINESS PRACTICE

Culture can be defined as, “combination of life manner and customs, knowledge and grades of artistic, scientific and industrial development, in a period or social group etc” (Diccionario de la Real Academia de la lengua española). Not in all countries the life manner is in an equal form. This is marked for the culture, the combination of manifestations in which traditional life in an unavoidable form in the business practice between countries is expressed.
As a company increases the number of functions abroad, increase the necessity of knowing the culture of other countries, too. Like this, the form to sell some kind of products in a form or other, change from one country to another, too. For example, in Saudi Arabia it is forbidden the sale and postulation of alcoholic drinks and other products like pork, whereas in the United States and Latin America countries, these sellers are totally legal and without problems. It is because of that, that the company before entering to function in a country must do a meticulous study of the market that will go to explore bearing in mind that culture is based on people’s lifestyles. Due to that and those persons accept or refuse certain products and service. We must beginning of the necessity that there of that product or service and the capacity that have into the company.
But not only is the necessity that there of something, is the form of arrive to the people too, with that something.

The form of wearing clothes, of to greet, speaking, eating, and so on, are factors that have influenced in the time at to do international business.

ISRAEL'S CREATION

http://www.adl.org/Israel/Record/creation.asp

THE STATE OF ISRAEL

Following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in World War I, the British assumed control of Palestine. In November 1917, the British government issued the Balfour Declaration, announcing its intention to facilitate the "establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people." In 1922, the League of Nations granted Britain a mandate over Palestine which included, among other things, provisions calling for the establishment of a Jewish homeland, facilitating Jewish immigration and encouraging Jewish settlement on the land.

The Arabs were opposed to Jewish immigration to Palestine and stepped up their attacks against the Jews. Following an increase in Arab attacks, the British appointed a royal commission in 1936 to investigate the Palestine situation. The Peel Commission recommended the partition of the country between Arabs and Jews. The Arabs rejected the idea while the Jews accepted the principle of partition.

At the end of World War II, the British persisted in their immigration restrictions and Jewish survivors of the Holocaust were violently turned away from the shores of Palestine. The Jewish Agency and the Haganah continued to smuggle Jews into Palestine. Underground cells of Jews, most notably the Irgun and Lehi, engaged in open warfare against the British and their installations.

The British concluded that they could no longer manage Palestine and handed the issue over to the United Nations. On November 29, 1947, after much debate and discussion, the UN recommended the partition of Palestine into two states ­ one Jewish and one Arab. The Jews accepted the UN resolution while the Arabs rejected it.

Meanwhile, since the time of the British Mandate, the Jewish community in Palestine had been forming political, social and economic institutions that governed daily life in Palestine and served as a pre-state infrastructure. Zionist leader David Ben-Gurion (1886-1973) served as head of the pre-state government.

The British mandate over Palestine officially terminated at midnight, May 14, 1948. Earlier in the day, at 4:00 p.m., David Ben-Gurion proclaimed the creation of the State of Israel and became its first prime minister. Longtime advocate of Zionism in Britain Chaim Weizmann (1874-1952) became Israel's first president. On May 15, the United States recognized the State of Israel and the Soviet Union soon followed suit.

The fledgling State of Israel was faced with many challenges. While fighting a war of survival with the Arab states who immediately invaded the new nation, Israel had to also absorb the shiploads of immigrants coming in daily to the Jewish homeland. Many were penniless refugees from Europe broken in body and in spirit. They needed immediate health and social services in addition to acculturation to their new home.

MY OPINION

I consider that the israel's problem is a consequence of the bad decision from the British government when they facilitated the establishment in Palestinian of a national home for Judio's people, and that was something that the Palestinian didn't assimilate and now they haven't been accept. Because it was the British government's audacity knowing the differences that exist among Judios and Palestinian.
