From Zion’s Dawn: A Condensed History of Modern Israel from 1880 to 2023

’From Zion’s Dawn’ is a concise and condensed account of the history of modern Israel from 1880 to the present day, focusing on the confluence of historical events that miraculously coalesced to bring about the restoration of the Jewish people to their ancestral homeland.

This record of modern Israel’s journey to statehood encompasses all the triumphs and tragedies of its turbulent history. It is, a roller coaster ride of mesmeric proportions, as we witness the colossal historical upheavals of the first half of the 20^th Century. This history of modern Israel is set against the backdrop of two World Wars, the collapse of the age of empires, a redrawing of national boundaries, the fall of imperialism, the rise of nationalism, the political machinations of world powers, and wholesale racial extermination on an industrial scale.

The book highlights how God orchestrated the events of early 20^th Century history to bring about what many considered not only inconceivable but impossible, the Sovereign state of Israel. This is the story of how a Zionist idea grew into a political movement that not only changed the socio-political landscape of the middle east but brought about a dream that was kept alive in the hearts of a people through long centuries. It reflects the irrepressible spirit of an estranged people imbued with the determination of a two-thousand-year journey to find their way home. It records how that undying hope became a reality, as God miraculously continued to advance his divine timeline, at whose heart lay his chosen people.
