What happened to Israel after the Roman army destroyed Jerusalem?
After Rome destroyed Jerusalem, Israel was dispersed into every nation on earth. In time, Jews began returning around the turn of the century, established kibbutzim, and the nation reemerged. By 1948, after a war with surrounding Arabs, Harry Truman became the first world leader to recognize Israel as a sovereign state.
Les teaches that God brought in the Roman army under Titus as discipline. Titus besieged the city, and when he gained entrance, there was unimaginable mayhem. The Roman legions destroyed Jews by the thousands and took the temple down rock by rock, as the prophet had written. Israel was then dispersed into every nation on earth. Around the turn of the century, they started coming back, set up the kibbutzes, and little by little the nation of Israel made its appearance. In 1948, after a little war with the Arabs around them, Harry Truman became the first world leader to declare the nation of Israel a sovereign state. Les also notes that the world says God is through with the Jew, but He is not, because He promised His mercy would never depart from Israel.
