The Twelve Tribes of Israel!

Abraham was called by God to establish a great nation; a nation that will fear, respect and honour Him. He was called out from his idolatrous kindred in the land of Ur of the Chaldees (Iraq). His call by God transcend to the birth of Isaac whom the bible regard as the child of promise. Eventually, Isaac bore twelve sons: these sons became the tribes that formed the united states of Israel. The Israeli nation happens to be God chosen people and place. Records can tell of various occasions in the bible and in history how God saved the Jews from annihilation. From the time of Pharoah, Senacherib, Nebuchadnezzar, Pharoah-necho, Attiochus, Herod the great, Hitler and so on: the Jews suffered much affliction during this period and are still been oppressed by its Arab neighbors.
