.. in exile.... May 14

Now that we have just finished Exile...
this piece of news, which came out in the 'today in history' suddenly has significance....

"State of Israel Proclaimed (1948)
In November 1947, the UN approved the Partition Plan for Palestine, calling for the formation of two states, one Jewish and one Arab, as well as a small, internationally administered zone in what had previously been a British-administered territory. The Arab leadership rejected this plan, but on May 14, 1948, the State of Israel was declared. The next day, five Arab states declared war on Israel."

I believe it is just Another example of how Man interprets God's will... or the Law. Take a moment off and compare it with ... this..

I think I may boast myself to be, with all possible vanity, the most unlearned and uninformed female who ever dared to be an authoress.
- Jane Austen (1775-1817)

and this...

Fear God and keep his commandments...
for God will bring every deed into judgement, including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil..
- Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
