WHEN the impossible is possible I was once told the word “impossible” can also mean I’m possible or anything is possible only if the heart is willing In Israel, anything is possible.

When Abraham first occupied this barren land the Lord promised the man, considered the patriarch and father of all Israelites if he followed the Lord’s laws, he would establish a great nation that would live in a land flowing with milk and honey.

That promise has been fulfilled, for instance, Israel a land with no minerals has a much a stronger economy than many first world countries such as the United Arab Emirates.

Once a barren desert today Israel prides itself as the top innovative and most thriving agriculture sector that it even exports to countries in Asia and Europe.

Israel’s ability to produce wonders and make what seemed impossible to be possible dates back to history.

She proved it in the Six Day War in 1967, and the Yom Kipur war of 1973, wherein both cases Israel defeated the alliance of Arab nations, who had one objective to try and wipe her off the map of the world.
