Genesis 15:5,6 – And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. [6] And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
Ezekiel 37:10 – So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
The army of Israel is by far the best army in the Middle East. It will take a large coalition of Arab nations to initially drive them out of the land from Dan to Beersheba into the Negev Wilderness, but three and one-half years later they will come up out of the Negev, recapture the holy city, all the land as far north as Hamath in Syria, as far east as the Euphrates River, and as far west as the Mediterranean and the River of Egypt.
Genesis 15:18 – In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
Ezekiel 47:17 – And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enan, the
border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath.
And this is the north side.
On Wednesday, Independence Day in Israel, it was the first time since the Dispersion that more Jews were found in Israel than in any other country.
Based on population projections, if I am correct in my guesstimate of Israel fleeing into the Negev ahead of an advancing Jihad coalition of 10 Islamic nations, at some point in time between 2008 and 2012, then if the attack occurred at the beginning of that period, the number fleeing would be approximately 1.8 million, but if it occurred at the end, then the number would be approximately 2.1 million.
Zechariah 13:8 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God,
that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Zechariah 13:9 – And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

Report: More Jews in Israel than in any Other Country
By Seth Freedman and JPost staff, THE JERUSALEM POST
May 1, 2006
For the first time since the first century, there are more Jews in Israel today than in
any other country, according to data published by the Central Bureau of Statistics on Monday.
Ahead of Independence Day on Wednesday, the bureau, which is one of Israel’s top demographers, announced that the country’s population currently stands at 7.03 million, a population increase of 118,000 since a year ago.
According to the report, 5.33 million are Jews, making up 76 percent of the total population. There are 1.39 million Arabs, contributing to approximately 20%.
“If current trends continue, there could be an absolute majority of world Jewry living in Israel within 25-30 years,” said Professor Sergio Della-Pergola
of the A. Harmann Institute of Contemporary Jewry at the Hebrew University and the Jewish People Policy Planning Institute. He attributed the increase to
the higher number of births than deaths amongst Israeli Jews – there were some 138,000 new babies born since Independence Day 2005 – estimating that this alone added around 70,000 to the current figure. “Israel is the only country in the world with a natural increase in its Jewish population,” commented Della-Pergola.
By comparison, he said that population increases due to aliya were almost negated by the migration of Israelis abroad.
Although there were 21,000 new immigrants, after taking migrants out of Israel into account, new olim only swelled the Jewish population by “a few thousand” this year.
The Jewish population of the United States is notoriously difficult to measure, according to Della-Pergola. “The last surveys were taken in 2001, and even then the figures are not as accurate as the numbers provided by Israeli statisticians,” he said. The 2001 surveys stated that there were around 5.3 million Jews in America, though Della-Pergola expects that number to have declined somewhat over the last five years.
“In 1990 there were an estimated 5.515 million Jews in the US, in 2001 there were only 5.3 million,” he commented, and suggested that extrapolation of this declining figure would mean a figure today lower than the 2001 estimate.
Additional figures which emerged from the Central Bureau of Statistics report showed that the five most populated Israeli cities were Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Rishon Lezion and Ashdod, with a combined population of 1.79 million – a quarter of Israel’s total population.
