DOES the Land of ISRAEL Truly Belong to The Jewish People? Pt 1
Biblical Truth we Can't Ignore
Two peoples claim the same land in the Middle East. Whose land, is it?
Who is right: Israel or the Palestinians?
Does it belong to both peoples?
Who has the right to decide to whom the Land belongs?
Israel?
The Arab League?
The United States?
The United Nations Security Council?
The United Nations General Assembly?
How should it be decided? By the Koran?
By the various competing claims of history?
By voting?
By war?
When the Word of YAHWEH Elohim (God) speaks authoritatively on any subject, that is the final word.
YAHWEH has much to say about the Land and people of Israel in His supernatural revelation, the Bible, which is the very Word of YAHWEH the Eternal One.
1. The Jewish people are the Chosen People:
After Adam and Eve sinned, humanity deteriorated so badly that YAHWEH destroyed the early world of men with the Great Flood.
Noah and his family knew YAHWEH the Redeemer Master, and were spared, but after they came out of the Ark and started repopulating, their descendants abandoned Elohim (God), became idolatrous, perverse and evil. Then YAHWEH created a special nation to be a light to the other nations. The Creator of the universe specifically chose the nation of Israel to be that unique people who would witness to HIS reality.
"For you are a holy people to YAHWEH your Elohim. YAHWEH your Elohim has chosen you to be His own treasure out of all the people on the face of the earth. " (Deuteronomy 7:6). Hebraic Roots Bible, Literal Translation.
"You are My witnesses, says YAHWEH; and My servant whom I have elected; that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no El (God) formed; nor shall any be after Me†. I, I am YAHWEH; and there is no Savior without Me†." (Isaiah 43:10-11). Hebraic Roots Bible, Literal Translation.
If the Chosen People were faithful to the calling, YAHWEH promised to bless them above all the other nations, so that the nations of the world would know that the YAHWEH the Elohim of Israel is the true Elohim who alone can save them, by reconciling us to Himself, thereby restoring us to peace, joy, blessing and life. But if they were disobedient to their calling, YAHWEH promised to severely punish them so that the nations of the world would learn a lesson from them and know that it is a terrible thing to disobey YAHWEH the Elohim of Israel.
Either way, through their obedience or disobedience, the Chosen People would witness to the other nations of the world that the Elohim (God) of Israel is to be reckoned with.
