In the 13th episode of 'The One New Man,' hosts Chris and John delve into the historical context of Israel's formation between 1900 and 1948. The discussion covers the significant political and social influences that contributed to the Zionist movement, the Balfour Declaration, and its international acceptance by major powers like Britain, France, and the U.S. They explore how the British mandate and subsequent white papers affected Jewish immigration and settlement, leading to friction with Arab populations and Britain’s eventual withdrawal from its promises. The episode also highlights the evolution of Jewish defense organizations, leading to the establishment of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Chris and John discuss the theological implications of Israel’s military actions in light of Christian pacifism and biblical prophecies. They aim to reconcile the perspectives of pacifism advocated by Jesus with the pragmatic necessities and divine support that many believe underpin Israel's military efforts. The episode concludes by affirming the ongoing relevance of biblical prophecies and God's promises related to Israel.
