Matthew
21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
What other nation beside the modern Muslims of today bow down to God Almighty in the most proper way? What other nation beside the modern Muslims Glorify GOD Almighty in their 5-daily Prayers, and fast the Month of Ramadan for Him?
Let's look at what GOD Almighty said about Ishmael, the father of the Muslims: "And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. (From the KJV Bible, Genesis 17:19-21)"
The Jews were GOD Almighty's chosen people: "We did aforetime grant to the Children of Israel the Book the Power of Command, and Prophethood; We gave them, for Sustenance, things good and pure; and We favoured them above the nations. (The Noble Quran, 45:16)"
But after they utterly failed with God Almighty and His Messengers (Not Moses ever liked their actions, nor Jesus ever liked them and their killings of the Prophets):
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! (From the KJV Bible, Matthew 23:37)"
"So I will disgrace the dignitaries of your temple, and I will consign Jacob to destruction and Israel to scorn. (From the NIV Bible, Isaiah 43:28)"
so which part of the Bible rejects all this and says that the Jews should have Israel ?

the bible isn't quotes from god!!!
if that was true, "he" would have written it himself.
the bible is a story. written by some bored monks and the pope.
also, in response to Gamla Joe, just because the Muslims share a religion does not make them THE SAME by any means.
the palestinians are not the same as the saudi arabians are not the same as the morrocans are not the same as the iranians.
so when the palestinians got forced out of THEIR country, THEIR land, THEIR homes, they didn't have places to go. The Palestinians belong to a land called Palestine not Jordan or Lebanon or anywhere else.
It isn't fair to them.
how would americans feel if all the muslims decided to push us out because Allah promised it to them? obviously we have a strong military and government so it probably wouldn't work. but it's the same idea.

It's true that "the kingdom of God" is *not* referring to the nation of Israel. If you read the bible New Testament, this will be made *very* plain. There is no ambiguity here - this term *definitely* does *not* refer to Israel.
However, let's assume (for a moment) that it *does* refer to Israel. At the moment, the "nation of Muslims" seems to be far too busy killing their fellow citizens to conquer Israel.
"so which part of the Bible rejects all this and says that the Jews should have Israel ?"
This one, among *many* similar passages:
Deu 30:1-5, New American Standard Bible
1. "So it shall be when all of these things have come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you call them to mind in all nations where the Lord your God has banished you,
2. and you return to the Lord your God and obey Him with all your heart and soul according to all that I command you today, you and your sons,
3. then the Lord your God will restore you from captivity, and have compassion on you, and will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you.
4. "If your outcasts are at the ends of the earth, from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there He will bring you back.
5. "And the Lord your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will prosper you and multiply you more than your fathers.
*This*, and *many* similar passages, say that the Jews should have Israel as long as they are faithful and obedient to God. When they are not, they shall lose it - but they shall *always* have the opportunity to regain it.
The truth of this can be seen, as they have regained Israel several times throughout history - including from the "nation of Muslims". Why would God allow the Jews to have it if He gave it to the Muslims for a possession? If the Muslims are doing so much right to God, why did God permit Israel to be taken away from them?
Even if you don't believe the bible, which says that God gave it to Jacob's descendants for a possession, clearly God does not mean for the Muslims to *keep* it. They owned it - sporadically - for only a few centuries, and considering the outcomes of the Israeli War for Independence and the 6 Day War, it does not seem as if God is eager to return it to the Muslims, either.

Let me see if I get this, even though muhammed popped out of a cave and said that the Jews and Christians corrupted and altered the word of God in the Torah and Bible, thus giving him a reason for creating a new faith instead of just finding Jesus, you are using these corrupted books as source material? Wouldn't it make since for you to just write off everything in these books and just go by the koran? You muslims crack me up. A merchant that travels around a land filled with Jews and Christians pops out of a cave one day and starts spouting stories borrowed from his customers and says an angel came and spoke to him but he doesn't have any proof. Where are the miracles man? The walking on water, the turning water to wine and raising people from the dead?? He just says an angel talked to him and you believe him? Why don't you believe John Smith?? His story is just as believable. Have you ever onece, just once, thought that maybe he made the whole thing up like all the hundreds and hundreds off fake prophets throughout time?

The kingdom of God is a heavenly kingdom, not an earthly one.
John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
So the Matthew passage is not referring to land. However, here is where God made very clear who the land was going to belong to:
Ezekiel 36:22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not [this] for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. 23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I [am] the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. 24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
It's too bad muhammad didn't warn you this would happen as did God's prophets, had he done so he would have saved the world a lot of grief. Note God made it clear that this would happen despite the Jews failures.

The answer is found in Genesis 26:2-5;The Lord appeared to Isaac and said," Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live."3."Stay in this land a while and I will be with you and bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham."4." I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed,5.because Abraham obeyed me and kept my requirements, my commands, my decrees and my laws."

The Bible is speaking of the future spiritual life.
1. Christians (followers of Christ) become the Spiritual Israel (God's choosen people).
2. At the time of Judgment all worldly things will be destroyed by fire and a NEW SPIRITUAL JERUSALEM will decend from Heaven.
3. This is where the Majority of Christ's followers will spend eternity with Jesus as the King, as spiritual beings in a spiritual world.

Do you think the true God gave the land of Israel to the Muslims?
You accept that Ishmael is the “father of the Muslims”. You mentioned Genesis 17:19-21 wherein God willed the old and barren 90-year-old Sarah to bear a son to be named Isaac. God promised Sarah that He will establish with Isaac “an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.” What is this covenant? The Promised Land. To whom did God establish His covenant? To Isaac and his seeds or descendants. Who are the descendants of Isaac and his son Jacob? The Israelites. To whom then did God promise the land? To the Israelites. Did the covenant have any termination date? No. It was an “everlasting covenant”. Why then do the Muslims claim the land of Israel? If they believe in the true God, they will “submit” to His wishes. Who owns the land here on Earth? Isn’t it God? So he can will it to anyone who He desires. He gave the land of Israel to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. In other words, to the Israelites. If the Muslims want peace, “submit” to the wishes of this true God.
God said to Isaac in Genesis 26:3-4: “Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.”
God said to Jacob in Genesis 28:13: “And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham they father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.”
In Genesis 35:11, God repeated what He said to Jacob earlier: “And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy see after thee will I give the land.”

God has created the Universe, God is running the Universe. God will destroy the Universe. God is the Origin of Universe. God is the Destination of Universe. Spirit can neither be created nor be destroyed. It moves from one body to another. Your body dies, not spirit. Your spirit gets new body after death, based upon your actions in this life. Your target is to make your spirit pure, so that it can merge in Super Spirit (God). Remember wherever there is Happiness in Life, there will be Sorrow. To get Happiness, you must master Sorrow.
