Much later, the Greeks and Romans conquered them,and renamed the place Palestine. Jump to 1948, the creation of modern Israel, so many beast had multiplied and occupied the land. There were moments in history that the land was actually left desolate and unoccupied. There are some problems in life that are allowed by God to help fulfill our destiny.
