Flags as Answered Prayers

Abraham’s first prayer in the Bible is found in Genesis 18:23. And it was not for himself, but for others. Abraham, the father of our faith, prayed, “Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked?”

Though it seemed unanswered, Jewish tradition teaches that his prayer was fulfilled centuries later when God delivered Israel from Egypt. What looked delayed was, in fact, answered at just the right time.

And so it was—and is—with the rebirth of Israel. Generations prayed for return and sovereignty, yet centuries passed. Holocaust survivors might have felt abandoned, but then came 1948—a flag raised, a nation reborn, a prayer answered.

When Israel’s flag waves today, it reminds the world that no prayer is wasted. God hears, God remembers, and God answers—in His timing and for His glory.
