DQ#1 What is the Abrahamic Covenant and how is it being challenged today?

“And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.” (Genesis 17:7-8).
The Bible clearly shows that this was an unconditional and eternal covenant and God passed this covenant on to Abraham's son Isaac and his grandson Jacob and each time the covenant was renewed, it included their descendants, the Jewish people. God made seven promises including to bless the Jewish people and to bless those who bless them and curse those who curse them. Plain and simple, God gave them the land and those counties pushing Israel to give up land, including the United States, will and are facing judgment for this. And asking Israel to give up part of Jerusalem after taking it back as prophesized, unthinkable! Don’t people read and/or believe the Bible?
Abraham was far from perfect and lost patience while waiting for God to provide the “son of the spirit.” So Abraham had a son “of the flesh” of whom God said in Genesis 16:12,“He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.” True then and so very true today.
Israel has so little land today and yet Israel is under great pressure to give up land for peace. Every time Israel gives up land rather than peace it brings the rocket launchers closer to their cities. Hal Lindsey presented a very informative report; Myths and Facts about Palestine and Israel:
It amazes me that there is so much hatred towards Israel today as well in history, Satan at work? The United States has been guilty for years of bulling Israel into giving up land. And the United Nations is a disgrace as it accuses Israel of near genocide against the Palestinians. It seems today that it is very PC to support the Palestinians and Condemn Israel. However, God says what he means and means what he says. Let those who harm "the apple of God's eye" fear God and return to the Word!
