Christians only please. Do you think the Bible entitles the Jews to the land from the Euphrates to the Nile?

Question

And from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf (former sea to the hinder sea)?

Thanks for your Biblical insight.

Answer 1

That is the land that God promised to Abraham and his descendants, forever. What can any man do against the word of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Bible says that any nation who has taken any of the Jewish people's covenant land, will be judged by God.

Answer 2

Yes and no.

In biblical times, God had designated those lands to Israel, and it was up to the Israelis to conquer it. As I understand it, they never took possession of all that land, but just a portion of it.

However, God disinherited the Israelis because of wickedness, including worshipping other gods, and oppressing the poor and needy. God allowed the Assyrians and the Babylonians to conquer and removing them, and the Promised Land lay fallow for 70 years. When the Persian Empire conquered Babylon, the Persian king allowed the Israelis to return to the Promised Land and to rebuild Jerusalem. However, with the likes of the Persians, then Greeks and Romans, the land of Israel was never truly independent. In 70 A.D., the Romans, sick of Israeli resistance, devastated the land and scattered the inhabitants. To insult the Jews further, the Romans renamed the land Palestine, after the historical Philistines.

The Jewish Israelis did not repossess the land, nor gain an independent state, until 1948. I suspect that after the Holocaust, the world believed they owe that recompense to the Jews (and I don't blame them!). Also, from what I understand, the events of the Book of Revelation in the New Testament can't happen without a state of Israel.

It would be foolish for today's Israelis to try to take all that land promised them centuries ago by force. Too much has happened, and they were disinherited back during the Abyssinian and Babylonian conquests. Who knows, though? Perhaps such an attempt might turn the world against Israel, sparking the Battle of Armageddon told in the Book of Revelation.

Perhaps God will restore all that land to the Jews after Armageddon, after Jesus/Yeshua returns as King.

Answer 3

This is a prophecy of what will happen when all of God's plans are complete. This is not a "the Bible says it so there by we must go in and make it work that way". This was the error of the Roman Catholics that brought about the Crusades.
No, the prophesies in the Bible just say what is going to occur, and such an occurrence will take place by the hand and will of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Remember, land does not belong to nations or peoples, it all belongs to the Creator--and currently, this world is being usurped. That is what the book of Revelation is all about--a change in management.

Answer 4

of course no longer. they do no longer even say "from the river to the sea" - this is respected Palestinian nationalism communicate for there no longer being any Israel in any respect. meanwhile, Israel has continually exchanged land for peace (what different u . s . has ever achieved that during the historic previous of the international?) They gave up the Sinai peninsula 30 years in the past. Israel isn't even occupying Gaza anymore. the fairway Line borders are disputed, yet whilst there became a cessation of violence the next day, and if the Palestinians might agree that Israel has the suited to exist in peace, they might have a state the next day, with maximum if no longer each and every of the territory they desire (Jerusalem probable transforming into a international city to guard its voters, and with some land swapping in the West financial enterprise, yet if truth be told an identical). ballot after ballot in Israel has shown that. you're able to be able to desire to take yet another seem at what happened in 1967 and 1956 in case you have confidence that Israel became in the back of those wars. Armies have been massed on their borders, accrued for weeks with weapons raised to attack Israel. they could have struck preemptively against those armies, yet there became no question that in the event that they hadn't the conflict might have began with out them. they chosen survival over being sheep to the slaughter on the hands of the Arab armies, who hugely outnumbered them. they did no longer swoop in on defenseless international places out of nowhere. The conflict could have been began by way of Israel, yet conflict became if truth be told already declared against them. bear in mind how the present conflict in Iraq began? the U. S. piled troops all alongside the border and in the Gulf mutually as they suggested they have been waiting for extra solutions from weapons inspectors. It became a foregone end that there became no turning decrease back. If the Iraqi military had shot at those troops first, might you assert that Iraq began that conflict?

Answer 5

Today the Israelis represent the worst of what a Jew can be. They are an outright embarrassment to the other Jews in the world. A shame to all Jews everywhere.

It’s time for the Jews who are not Israelis themselves, to distance themselves from their Israeli brothers and sisters.

It’s time for the Jews in America to tell the Israelis straight from the heart: you’re not proper Jews. You’re a shame to your nation, your faith, your history, and your tradition. You survived the worst crime in history, the Holocaust, only to start carrying on as though you want to create mini-Holocausts for others. Don’t come crying to us if the Arabs one day get stronger than you and wipe you off the face of the earth. If it happens, you will have deserved it.

The Israelis are not Jews anymore. They’re Israelis, and there seems to be a great difference between being Israeli and being Jewish. It’s time Jews in America realize that if you’re pro-Israel, you’re anti-Jewish.

Until Israel recognizes the right of Palestine to exist, and hands Palestine over to the Palestinians, they are not Jewish. They’re treif.

Answer 6

Long ago, several thousands of years ago a man by the name of Esau, sold his inheritance (the land that you so mentioned) to his brother Jacob, for a bowl or two of red porridge!!!!! Do you remember this account in the Bible in Genesis? Yes indeed I believe the Bible tells us that Jacob, being the father of the twelve tribes of the Jews, does indeed have the RIGHT to the lands you so mentioned!! Esau later regreted his decision, but it was too late! The father of the Arabs lost out!!!!!! Read the account for yourself, if you are not aware of it.

Answer 7

I am not Christian, so maybe my answer is not important to you. But, here is my opinion:

According to the book of Exodus, Moses claims God told him that the land of Canaan was the Promised Land for the Chosen People. Israelites entered the land and killed off any natives who did not support them.

After WW2, many European Jews "returned to" the Promised Land under these same pretenses.

However, most modern Jews and Christians don't adhere to this explicit Bible instruction anymore than they follow explicit Bible instructions to eat kosher foods or stone adulterers to death.

Answer 8

The Bible doesn't entitle anyone to anything.

God might have a different opinion.

Answer 9

Pilgrim, I do not know. I know its considered the promised land...but how much blood do we shed before the promised land runs red with the blood of all.

Yes. The Bible says it so I have no doubt it will eventually come to pass.
