As Pastor Adrian Rogers <a href="https://www.crosswalk.com/special-coverage/end-times/israel-and-the-bible-4-miracle-prophecies-christians-should-know-about.html">wrote,</a> "I want help in understanding the present and the future, because there is Bible prophecy yet to be fulfilled.

The most important land, believe it or not, is not America but tiny Israel, about the size of New Jersey."<p>Here are 70 Bible verses about Israel as we commemorate 70 years of the country's existence in the modern era.<p><span style="font-size:10px;"><em>Photo courtesy: &copy;Thinkstock/ventdsud</em></span></p>
