Surely God, who “has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,” surely God has again given Israel time under the sun to be a nation with land and boundaries. Which land has been identified with them from the promise God gave to Abraham, to the conquest by Joshua and the refugees from Egypt’s slavery. The acknowledgement of this, at least, is one worthy thing the United Nations has done. Perhaps it is and will remain the best thing it will ever do.
