i find it hard to believe that god would make the middle east the "holy land" or "the promised land". there is nothing but desert. don't you think that the holy land would at least have some trees, and grass? not just dirt as far as the eye can see. if someone "promised" me a great land, and it turned out to be just sand, i'd be a little upset. i tend to believe that if there is a holy land or promise land, that it would at least have food...maybe...the promise land is AMERICA!!!

God chose that area to plant the Israelites because it is a natural cross-roads in the world. Everyone in the region had to go through Israel and thus the teachings and the prophecies about the messiah could be spread throughout the world (as well as the Jewish peoples).
Please read

Do you seriously believe that the promised land is even of this earth? The promised land lies in wait for those who are righteous. The rest of these places are just temporary dwellings until the triumphant return of the Savior. God Bless

ridiculous how you keep trying to spread your ignorance. you probably think Jesus and Mary had blue eyes and blonde hair. racist. I am not of caucasian skin tone or race but i bleed deeper american blood than you ever will. i think your home school teacher is calling you time to repeat the 5th grade for the tenth time homeboy.
