Does the Land of Israel belong to the Jews?
The answer is simple in my mind. The Land of Israel belongs to the people of Israel – the Jewish people. Let me give you a few reasons why I believe this with all my heart. King David sang, “…the earth is the Lord’s…” (Psalm 24:1) and it is He who determines the boundaries of nations (Acts 17:26, Psalm 74:17, Deut. 32:8).
What is going on in the Holy Land?
The work in the Holy Land is going well – including evangelism, discipleship, congregational planting, feeding the poor and elderly, and children’s work. The opportunities to reach Jewish people for the Messiah Jesus in Israel are astounding.
Why did God give the Jews the Holy Land?
According to verses in the Quran, God punishes the Jews for their sin of refusing to fight the indigenous people in the land, and God is angry that the Jews refused to convert to Islam. Yet the verses are consistent in their assertion that God gave the Jews the Holy Land.
Do Jews have a right to live in the land?
Yet the Abrahamic deed assures the Jewish people of the right to live in the Land whenever they are able. Therefore, the Jewish people have a right to the Land based on the promise of God. This right is not based upon national righteousness.
