Israel’s Victorious Six-Day War: Foundation for Fulfilling Prophecy
The success Israel secured in the aftermath of the Six-Day War gives us an indication that we could be coming close to the time of Christ’s return. Prophecies in the books of Joel, Zechariah and elsewhere in the Bible indicate an organized Jewish presence in Jerusalem before Christ’s second coming. For example, the prophetic book of Joel talks about the terrible time of destruction during the “Day of the Lord”—a time of dramatic events just before Christ returns. And notice it is addressed to “Zion, the mountain of the Lord,” which is a biblical name for Jerusalem.
“Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the LORD is coming, for it is at hand” (Joel 2:1 emphasis added throughout).
For this prophecy to make any sense and to be fulfilled, there will need to be an organized group of Jewish inhabitants in the land. Later in the chapter they are instructed to gather a wide variety of Jews, such as elders, priests, children, bride and bridegroom (Joel 2:16-17). A huge invading army will come over the land leaving it desolate: “… A people come, great and strong, the like of whom has never been; nor will there ever be any such after them, even for many successive generations” (Joel 2:2; see also Joel 2:3-11 and Joel chapter 1).

Christian docudrama sees Six Day War as prophecy fulfilled
Gordon Robertson, son of the outspoken conservative televangelist Pat Robertson, remembers being nine years old when his Southern Baptist pastor father sat the family down, Bibles at their side, to read and understand the ramifications of Israel’s recent victory in the 1967 Six Day War.
“We would normally talk about politics over the dinner table,” recalled Robertson, now 59, “but this was different, this was, ‘all right, everyone, open your Bibles, I’m going to walk you through the prophecies that were just fulfilled.'”

The Six-Day War was a brief but bloody conflict fought in June 1967 between Israel and the Arab states of Egypt, Syria and Jordan. Following years of diplomatic friction and skirmishes between Israel and its neighbors, Israel Defense Forces launched preemptive air strikes that crippled the air forces of Egypt and its allies. Israel then staged a successful ground offensive and seized the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip from Egypt, the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan, and the Golan Heights from Syria. The brief war ended with a U.N.-brokered ceasefire, but it significantly altered the map of the Mideast and gave rise to lingering geopolitical friction.
We are continuing our series of animated historical videos on the modern wars with the Six-Day War of 1967, also known as the Third Arab–Israeli War during which Israel fought the alliance of Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq. This conflict entered history as short, but decisive, as it took less than a week for hostilities to start and end, and was mostly decided in the air. Previously we have covered the battles of Stalingrad (http://bit.ly/2BVRheC) and Kursk (http://bit.ly/2BVR1MJ) within the II World War.
If one wants me to add more poll options, just let me know.You may have missed one of my posts, which I requested this. But could you do a companion thread (poll)regarding Jerusalem back in the hands of the Jews 1967 as fulfilling bible prophecy?
