WHY THE DUTCH BEAT BACK THE SEA - John R Schroeder - January 1984

John R Schroeder

For a thousand years the Dutch people have battled the North Sea. Were it not for multiple thousands of acres of reclaimed land, half of Holland would now be under water. What secrets are locked up in these 10 centuries of land reclamation? The story of the Netherlands is a story of the sea! Uniquely, the Dutch fulfill an ancient prophecy pertaining to one of the tribes of the so called lost 10 tribes of the House of Israel. Zebulun's descendants were to "dwell at the haven of the sea" and "be for an haven of ships" (Gen. 49: 13). Moreover they were to rejoice "in [their] going out" (Deut. 33: 18). These ancient prophecies have been fulfilled in the Dutch, a seagoing, colonizing people. Is it mere coincidence? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
