GOD GAVE ISRAEL HER LAND

The Lord took the land of the Cannanites and gave it to Israel. Why?
Because the Earth is the Lord's and the Fullness thereof,
And He gives it to whomever He pleases
To Fulfill His own Plan and Purposes.

The Lord had said to Abram,
'Leave your country, your people and your father's household
And go to the Land I will show you.

I will make you into a Great Nation
And I will Bless you;
I will make your name Great,
And you will be a Blessing.
I will Bless those who Bless you,
And whoever Curses you I will Curse;
AND ALL THE PEOPLES ON EARTH WILL BE BLESSED THROUGH YOU.'
(Genesis 12:1-3)

[This statement refers to Christ Jesus,
Through Whom all the peoples of the earth have been blessed;
Christ Jesus who establishes His Millennial Kingdom
In Jerusalem on Mount Zion.]

Abraham traveled through the land as far
As the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem.
The Cannanites were in the Land,
But the Lord appeared to Abram and said,
'To your Offspring I will give this Land.'
So he built and Altar there to the Lord, Who had appeared to him.
(Genesis 12:6, 7)

The Whole Land of Cannan, where you are now an Alien,
I will give as an Everlasting Possession to you
And your Descendants after you For Generations to come.
(Genesis 17:8)

Speaking to Jacob the Lord said to him:
The Land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you,
And I will give this Land to your Descendants after you.'
(Genesis 35:12)

In the days of Joshua:
So the Lord gave Israel All the Land He had Sworn to give their forefathers,
And they took Possession of it and settled there.

The Lord gave them Rest on Every Side,
Just as He had sworn to their forefathers.

NOT ONE OF THEIR ENEMIES WITHSTOOD THEM;
THE LORD HANDED ALL THEIR ENEMIES OVER TO THEM.

[The Lord establishes kingdoms and tears them down as He sees fit.
But only kingdoms that Obey Him last.]

Not one of All the Lord's Good Promises to the House of Israel Failed;
Every one was Fulfilled.
(Joshua 21:43-45)

In 70 AD the Romans Destroyed Jerusalem and dispersed the Jews.
The Temple worship was Lost for the next 2,000 years,
And their Land was Lost to them for the next 2,000 years.
However, in 1948 the Nation of Israel was Reestablished;
And Unheard of Event in the history of the World,
In the Fulfillment of Scripture.

Today we watch
As the Remainder of Scripture related to Israel is Fulfilled.
And it will be Fulfilled Exactly as it is written.

Today, Israel is Anathema to the Nations of the World.
They would like to do away with her,
Thinking that then, Peace would come to the Mideast.
And Scripture tells us, at the End of TIME,
The Nations of the World gather to Destroy Israel
And are themselves Destroyed. (Zechariah 14)

God's Purpose, through Abraham and His Seed, which is Christ Jesus,
Was to obtain a Bride for Christ Jesus.
All Six Thousand Years of Scriptural History
Were devoted to that Single Purpose.
And Christ Jesus Completes that Purpose at His Return,
Which is Coming Soon.

The Land of Israel belongs to Israel because God Almighty gave it to her;
It was His and His alone to give;
And Scripture tells us that it will Not be Taken from her.
God, the Eternal One, gave it to Israel as an Everlasting Gift.
