[0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/3utEEimFdmJH/en/israel-s-resilience-and-god-s-promise-to-abraham?t=11) It is astonishing that a tiny little country of ten million people out-punches its weight over and over again when it is threatened with its existence by those who have ten times the population, many more times the military budget,

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/3utEEimFdmJH/en/israel-s-resilience-and-god-s-promise-to-abraham?t=41) The secret is that thirty-eight hundred years ago, God told Abraham, "I'm gonna create a people, and you're it.

[0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/3utEEimFdmJH/en/israel-s-resilience-and-god-s-promise-to-abraham?t=54) And this is gonna be your place, and I'm gonna give you a purpose, and you're gonna fulfill it."

[1:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/3utEEimFdmJH/en/israel-s-resilience-and-god-s-promise-to-abraham?t=88) agriculture, technology. And the reason is none of those things.

[1:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/3utEEimFdmJH/en/israel-s-resilience-and-god-s-promise-to-abraham?t=94) The reason is because God Almighty put his hand on the land, and because God himself has said, "This is how you will know that I am God."
