Treatment of the Bible as a historical text

By your analogy, the Bible is indeed a valid historical record. God made an everlasting covenant/promise/prophecy to Abraham found in Genesis 12:3 In this text he promised Abraham and his decendents of the promise that all who bless him and his descendents, God will bless and all who curse them will God curse. On the belts of all Nazi soldiers was the words. "Gott liebe un", meaning "God loves us." The problem was that Hitler and his Nazi regime cursed the promised descendents of Abraham, the Jews, so God cursed them. Some will say, how about the Arabs, also descendents of Abraham? The answer is simple. The Abrahamic Covenant, as this promise is known was confirmed, not to the descendents of Ishmael, but to the descendents of Sarah and was confirmed by God to Isaac and later to his son, Jacob. Thus Israel wins all their wars against great odds with those who curse them, the Muslim descendents of Ismael, worshippers of the god Allah and who reject the God Jehovah, often forbiding the preaching of his book, the Bible and the prophet/messiah, prophesied in that book which turns out to be Jesus. This is just one of the scores of examples of the valid historicity of the Bible. Btw, I don't necessarily buy that the King of Tyre is a direct reference to Satan. I doubt it and since it doesn't say so, I don't think we can make that assumption.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. God didn't curse the Jewish civilians. The Germans did and because of it were cursed of God and totally devastated.2. God warned the Jews that because of their idolatry and disregard to his laws, etc, they would be scattered and persecuted by foreign nations a long time ago. These nations, however would not go unpunished, though they were fulfilling prophecy. Jesus and the OT prophets prophesied this, but promised that in the end times he would restore them from the nations and restore their land and nation. Actually the holocaust in Europe worked to drive them back to their land so as to becoming a big factor in fulfillment of the prophecy. God promised via both OT and NT prophets, a ruling messiah to eventually come and rule the world from Jerusalem. This is the essence of Zionism. So in that sense I am a Christian Zionist in that I believe Jesus the christ will return to fulfill his promise in his Olivet discourse and elsewhere. The war was not lop sided. The West was totally caught off guard when Japan entered. The war was nip and tuck with some doubt as to who would emerge victorious. Germany was developing some sophisticated weapons and along with Italy and occupied nations had the head start before the West got organized. Regardless of the numbers, the enemies of the Jew were devastated with severe punishment in the end. So it went with the Arab wars, all of which the Jews were highly outnumbered (about 20 to 1) and in the early wars highly both outnumbered and out weaponed, Russia siding with the Arab nations.According to the prophecies concerning Armageddon which will be in the Valley of Jehosaphat, i.e. the Kedron valley outside Jerusalem, a 200,000,000 million army moving in from the East will be involved, likely, imo, contending with the Russo-Arab alliance for the big prize, world domination. Russia and northern Europe will be the primary invaders again allying with the Arab nations. Read about it in Ezekiel 38, 39. There will be so many dead invaders that Israel will take 7 months to bury them.
