God’s blessing and promises to Abraham:
Genesis 12:1-3
Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: [2] And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.
[3] And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curses thee, and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Note: The promise God made to Abraham is forever. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and of Israel.
Does Israel occupies, as some say, or owns the land where it’s currently located?
Genesis 12:7
And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, unto thy seed will I give this land, and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
Note: When God made this promise to Abraham, he was in the land of Canaan, living in tents.
The regathering of the people of Israel according to prophecy. In June 1948 Israel became a nation again:
Jeremiah 31:8
Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
Isaiah 11:12
And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
Ezekiel 20:34
And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
Ezekiel 20:42
And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers.
Some say: God has rejected or has castaway the people of Israel because of their rejection of Christ.
But what did the apostle Paul say:
Romans 11:1-5
I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. [2] God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? How he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, [3] Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. [4] But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. [5] Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
To all who would read this brief description about Israel, taken from the Holy Scripture, should know that Israel is where it should be according to the Word of the Lord God. God Almighty, made everything visible and invisible (Genesis 1:1, In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth), and thus He owns everything, and He gave the land of Canaan to Abraham and to his seed (his children), by removing the people who used to occupy the land because of sin, after giving them the opportunity to change over many centuries, because He is Merciful. And what was the sin that had brought the Wrath of God upon the prior occupants of the land of Canaan? The sacrifice of their innocent children to Baal. God spoke elsewhere saying: the earth had complained to Him because of the innocent blood that was being shed upon it.
The current violent events that are taking place against Israel from Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and Iran, and of course other events that take place around the world today, is an indication of the approaching of the end times. On October 7th, 2023, we all had experienced Satan’s rage against Israel, through those whom he has raised and who obey him, to come against Israel. His aim is to eliminate Israel so that he would stop the second glorious coming of the Lord Jesus Christ upon the place He has chosen, mount Zion. But Satan will NOT succeed, nor will anyone else, because Israel is there to stay according to Word of God!
Glory to God!
