NETANYAHU AT AUSCHWITZ SAYS PROPHECIES OF EZEKIEL 37 HAVE BEEN FULFILLED (Address in Poland commemorating 65th Anniversary of the Liberation

of Auschwitz)

[After the Holocaust, the Jewish people rose from ashes and destruction, from a terrible pain that can never be healed. Armed with the Jewish spirit, the justice of man, and the vision of the prophets, we sprouted new branches and grew deep roots. Dry bones became covered with flesh, a spirit filled them, and they lived and stood on their own feet. As Ezekiel prophesized: Then He said unto me: These bones are the whole House of Israel. They say, Our bones are dried up, our hope is gone; we are doomed. Prophecy, therefore, and say to them: Thus said the Lord God: I am going to open your graves and lift you out of your graves, O My people, and bring you to the land of Israel.

I stand here today on the ground where so many of my people perished and I am not alone. The State of Israel and all the Jewish people stand with me. We bow our heads to honor your memory and lift our heads as we raise our flag-a flag of blue and white with a Star of David in its center. And everyone sees. And everyone hears. And everyone knows that our hope is not lost.

The Importance of Daniel 2
As I have said, to God, prophecy is merely history written in advance. This single prophecy in Daniel 2 should be enough, by itself, to prove the supernatural character of Bible prophecy and the true nature of the God who reveals it. Dr. Tim LaHaye (The Merciful God of Prophecy)

Head of Gold: Babylon (612-538 B.C.) The God of heaven had given the king power, strength, and glory over the whole earth. Babylon was saturated with gold and great in splendor. Breast and Arms of Silver: Medo-Persian empire (538333 B.C.). The two arms represent the two sides: The Medes and the Persians. Belly and Thighs of Bronze: Greece (333-168 B.C.) under the leadership of Alexander the Great. During his lifetime his soldiers were dressed in bronze and brass helmets, breastplates, shields, and swords. Legs of Iron: Rome (168 B.C. 476 A.D.) This kingdom was as strong as iron with the power to crush and shatter everything and everyone on its path. The Iron Legions of Rome were legendary and known for their ability to crush all resistance with an iron heel. Feet and Toes of Iron and Clay: Represent a future kingdom comprised of a confederation of 10 nations under the rule of the Antichrist.

I. The Passing Kingdoms of Men (Daniel 2:31-43) When Nebuchadnezzar dreamed this dream, Persia was a Babylonian vassal state, the Greeks were a group of warring tribes, and Rome was a village on the Tiber River. There is no human way he could have seen what God was going to do as those Gentile kingdoms unfolded in the future. Dr. David Jeremiah
