In light of the recent story about 70 nations of this world seeking to create a two state solution for Israel and the Palestinians; I want to share a post that GWZ I.F. did on the history of how and why at the scattering at Babel (Gen. 11:1-9); 70 nations were created and divided all based on Almighty God's plan of world redemption and working for the nation Israel!
“When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel” (Deut. 32:8). Without claiming to uncover all the mysteries of this fascinating passage, at the very least this can be said: When God set the boundaries for all the nations He had Israel in mind, and He wonderfully provided for His chosen nation.
Let
us recognize God’s sovereign geography! After the Babel dispersion
(Genesis 11), the sons of Adam spread out over the earth, doing their
own thing and acting independently of God. However, the nations that
formed from this migration and the boundaries that resulted were all
predetermined by God: “And hath made of one blood all nations of men for
to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times
before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation” (Acts 17:26).

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
