God was unable to fulfill His promise?

Question

God promises to cast out seven nations including the Amorites, Canaanites, and the Jebusites. But he was unable to fulfill his promise. These nations were "greater and mightier" than the Israelites, who according to Ex.12:37 and Num.1:45-46 already had numbered several million. So the region, according to the bible, must have had a population of more than twenty million! 7:1

Answer 1

So much for man disguised as God .

Answer 2

God makes the policies. the chosen human beings broke all of them. Their punishment grow to be the loss of their promised land. There seems a user-friendly form of Jews on earth and a few of them have controlled to recapture their place of beginning, and make it prosper, as I see it. as nicely, weren't the bones of Israel and Joseph back to their place of beginning? (Ex 13:19) (Gen 40 9: 28-30 and 50:12-13) tell me, how lots safer are you able to be than ineffective, the place none can injury you? Genesis 40 8:21 basically has Israel say that Joseph might return to the land of his fathers. I dont examine something approximately his being alive whilst it particularly is going to happen. i think of the secret to interpret the Bible is "KISS" yet first examine the tale, then the passage. Acts 7, as I examine it, says that God might lead Abraham to a place that "i will instruct you" yet his decendents, no longer he, might inherit the land. Steven grow to be, inspite of each and every thing, chatting with the clergymen in JERUSALEM, do no longer you realize. And so the promise grow to be fulfilled till the Jews (nicely the clergymen, besides) crucified Christ. That grow to be the suited sin, a sin against God himself. and, so, they have been slaughtered by way of Rome. it particularly is all approximately can provide made to be fulfilled to a user-friendly technology in a much off destiny. Even the 12 tribes (Joseph's brothers) did an evil act. And the place are Hebrews 15:18, 17:8 and 28:13-14?...You did no longer cause them to up, did you? Oh, i would be variety and assume you had another passages in strategies and noted them incorrectly. look, i'm no Bible student and you obtain me staying up previous due and frantically attempting to confirm your factor, yet i think of you have did no longer instruct your argument.

Answer 3

God told Israel to drive out the inhabitants of the land. (Numbers 33:52) If you read the Bible, Judges 1, you will find out, that Israel didn't drive out the inhabitants of the land as they were told to.

God then responds this way.

"Judges 2:1 And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
Judges 2:2 And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?
Judges 2:3 Wherefore I also said, I WILL NOT DRIVE THEM OUT from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you."

It is not that God wasn't able to keep His promise, it is that Israel didn't do as God had told them.

If a father tells his son that if he cleans his room, then he will take him out for ice cream, and his son doesn't clean his room, should his father still take him out for ice cream? It is a matter of disobedience, not ability to keep promises.

Answer 4

God's promise to drive out the nation was based upon Israel's faithfulness, something which did not last too long. Just read Judges.
