Israel Inspiration
Isaiah describes the great contributions that the nations
and non-Jews will play in the resettlement of the
Land of Israel. In modern times, great Christian warriors
for Zion have emerged to fulfill Isaiah’s prophecy, including
Orde Wingate, who passed away 69 years ago this week.
An officer in the British army in the 1930’s, Wingate trained
many of the future leaders of the Israeli army. Wingate drew
on his love and knowledge of the Bible, and distilled strategies
from the battles of Joshua, Gideon and King David.
Known throughout Israel as “Hayedid” or, “The Friend,” the
Jewish people remember Orde Wingate, whose Biblical
passion and contributions to the State of Israel cannot
be overstated.
