Do the people of Israel give God credit for their modern accomplishments?
No, the people of Israel do not give God credit for their modern accomplishments. They claim they are doing it on their own, attributing their agricultural growth, high-rise buildings, and freeways to their own efforts. However, the Lord says one day they will realize it was the work of their Almighty God.
Les explains that in spite of all Israel has accomplished—tremendous increase in agriculture production, high-rise buildings going up, freeways being built—they really do not give God any credit. They claim they are doing it on their own. But the Lord says that one day they will realize they didn't do it on their own, that it was the work of their Almighty God. Les connects this to the symbolic vision of dry bones, representing the nation of Israel scattered among the nations, seemingly without hope of a homeland.
