The Future of Israel as a Nation

The twenty-first century has been an unprecedented period of change. At no time in history have more changes occurred in science and in the political structure of the world. The events of the twenty-first century have done much to change human life. The events of the twenty-first century have alerted Bible students to the tremendous potential for fulfilled prophecy. With Israel restored as a nation in 1948 the panorama of end-time prophecy came into a focus in which Israel will be a prominent player.

One of the central questions in prophecy relating to Israel is whether Israel has any future as a nation. The question is by no means easily answered because there is a confusing number of answers to the question. These can be itemized as follows: (1) The point of view that denies that Israel exists today and therefore has no future as a nation, as illustrated in the book The Seed of Abraham by Albertus Pieters. In Pieters' opinion, Israel is nonexistent as either a race or a nation in the ordinary sense of the term. (2) The idea that Israel continues as a race but not as a nation. This concept is illustrated in conservative postmillennialism of the last generation in works like Systematic Theology by Charles Hodge and is held by some contemporary amillenarians such as William Hendriksen in his book And So All Israel Shall Be Saved. (3) The teaching of most premillenarians that Israel has not only continuity as a race, but a future as a nation in the millennial kingdom. This is the normal premillennial approach.
