Reading the many posts about the Palestine overture I can't help but notice how often the central and key element of our faith and belief is left out of the discussion , namely what the bible (word of God) says about the matter . Already early on in scripture (Genesis 12:3 ) , Numbers 24:9 and many other places throughout the bible the creator decrees his judgment on those who stand against his people and their land . In Genesis 17: 7-8 our heavenly father speaks directly about whose land it is and for how long it will be their's " and I will give to you and to your offspring after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.” Who are we to say anything different ?
Nick.... God never reneges on his promises , when he said to Abraham the land shall be yours and your offspring "forever" he meant forever ! Sure God punished Israel by exiling them to other countries when they were disobedient but the land he promised them was never taken away. Daniel prophesied the Israelites would get their country back after a long absence (2300 years) and look what happened in 1948 . This time (end times) God won't exile his people from the land he gave them so long ago anymore but as seen, many still hate the Israelites and still try hard to get rid of them . Question then is " Do we support those against the Jews or do we oppose their efforts " ?
