The Modern State of Israel
The most consequential move ever made by the U.S. Federal Government was its political, economic and military commitment to the apartheid state of Israel. In this context, it is actually the Modern State of Israel (MSI) that is joined at the hip with the United States, not the biblical Israelites of 2000 years ago. From this point forward, Israel will be referred to as the MSI so as to distinguish it completely from the 12 ancient tribes of pre-Christian Israel.
The critical point here is that the year 2017 reigns supreme in the history of both the Jewish people and the Modern State of Israel. As a matter of calendrical fact, September 20, 2017 marks the end of year 5777 according to the Hebrew calendar. Nevertheless, this discussion will primarily focus on the creation of the MSI which began in earnest in 1897 with the First Zionist Congress.
First Zionist Congress (Hebrew: הקונגרס הציוני הראשון) was the inaugural congress of the Zionist Organization (ZO) (to become the World Zionist Organization (WZO) in 1960) held in Basel (Basle), Switzerland, from August 29 to August 31, 1897. 208 delegates and 26 press correspondents attended the event.[1]
It was convened[2] and chaired[3] by Theodor Herzl, the founder of the modern Zionism movement. The Congress formulated a Zionist platform, known as the Basel program, and founded the Zionist Organization. It also adopted the Hatikvah as its anthem (already the anthem of Hovevei Zion and later to become the national anthem of the State of Israel).[1]
There is no more fateful a day throughout the modern era than the First Zionist Congress. If ever there is a day that will live in infamy, it is this defining moment in 1897 when the worldwide Zionist movement became organized under one umbrella. Some have even written that Zionism was directly accountable for both World Wars as they ask: Did 70 Million Die So The Jews Could Have Palestine?
What follows is a general timeline of the development of the MSI from 1897 onward. If there is one thing that stands out it is that the most significant years end with the number “7”. This is by purposeful design, just as the Shemitah year occurs every 7 years within the modern and ancient Judaic tradition.
1897 + 50 years (jubilee) = 1947 (U.N. Mandate to establish the State of Israel)
1897 + 70 years (that number is found many places in the Bible) = 1967 (Israel captured E. Jerusalem and the temple mount) + 120 = 2017
1897 — (World Zionist Conference) + 120 years = 2017
1917 — (Balfour Declaration by the British allowing Jewish immigration into Palestine) + 100 years = 2017
1947 — (UN Mandate for Palestine allowing Israel to come into existence) + 70 years = 2017
1967 — (Israel captures East Jerusalem and the Temple Mount) + 50 years (jubilee) = 2017
1977 — (Anwar Sadat of Egypt flies to Israel and the “peace process” begins) + 40 years (a classic biblical generation) = 2017
1987 — (first Palestinian uprising [Intifadah]) + 30 years (used many places in the Bible-Jesus began his ministry at 30, David became king at 30) = 2017
2017 — 3 remaining Fall Feasts of the Hebrew Calendar yet to be fulfilled (aka the MOEDIM—Trumpets, Atonement & Tabernacles)
