So you believe it is men who direct the course of history? It is to some degree. However, when the bible tells us something is going to happen - it is.

Read Isaiah 54:15-17 where God says no one will defeat Israel. Well no one will.

Take the 6 day war for instance. The odds were completely stacked against Israel. But she won nevertheless.

Did Israel and the "arab" countries surrounding her agree they were going to have a war? No.

Did the arabs agree to lose the war and give up Jerusalem - no, or for that matter a lot of land, they are now fighting to have Israel return? No

So how did men decide this was going to be how things are and God had nothing to do with it.

It was a miracle Israel won. Like I said, the odds were stacked against her and she was conceding it was over, before it started.
