Israel's population is becoming more religious. Perhaps they should also start reading their
bible. Yet, they will not like what they find in it. Micha, the prophet, for example, who warned
his people:
Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house
of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert
all equity.
They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem
with iniquity.
The heads thereof judge for reward, and the
priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet
will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is
not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.
Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall
become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
(Micha, III,
9-12).
The Romans
fulfilled Micha’s prophecy, occupied Jerusalem and destroyed Jewish national life.
Israel has not learned.
