"Like a massive final contraction after years of birth pangs, General Assembly Resolution 181 opened the way through which the ancient nation of Israel could finally be reborn on its historic homeland.
Not that the battle for her independence was over. Within hours of the partition vote Israel’s enemies began searching for a way to rescind and annul that decision.
But they were wasting their time. Less than six months later, on May 15, 1948, the State of Israel came into being on it’s God-given land.
It was as foretold by the prophet Isaiah thousands of years before:
“… Who has heard such a thing?
Who has seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day?
Or shall a nation be born at once?
For as soon as Zion was in labor,
She gave birth to her children. … ”
(Isaiah 66:8)"
