In Genesis 15 God instructed Abram to construct an offering and then caused Abram to enter a deep sleep. God foretold of the time that the Israelite's would be strangers in a land not theirs. When they would come out of this time of enslavement they would be given an unconditional title to land as described in verses 18 through 21. This was a unilateral land covenant granted to Abram and his descendants.
Jeremiah 31:35-36, "35, Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name: 36, If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever." God’s unconditional covenants are just that, unconditional.
The Land Covenant is being challenged by Islam and their claim that Ishmael was the son of promise, wrong! Genesis 17:20-21, “20, 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. 21, But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.”
Today non-Islamic countries are supporting the false claims of Islam. Many calling themselves Christians claim that God’s covenants with Israel have passed to the church, the heresy of Replacement Theology. Within the Christian community there is a call for a two state solution and a relinquishing of part of Jerusalem to the Muslims. “When you deny something God has promised somebody, you are profaning His name.” God is not a liar and jealous of His name! In Zechariah 12:2-3 God says that He will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling and a burdensome stone, another promise He has kept.
As for the United States, again and again the POTUS and his minions fail to support Israel and actually undermine her in mockery of God’s Word. Isaiah 5:5, “And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:” So much for the hedge of protection around America. As America has done to Israel….
Members of the UN are blinded by Antisemitism and accuse Israel of human right violations. This insanity really manifested itself in the reaction of the UN to the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict, also known as Operation Protective Edge. Israel protected herself and her enemy had more casualties than she did. This was called disproportionate by the UN.
Is God growing impatience with the PC talk of “Land for peace” and a divided Jerusalem? Are we are hastening the day? Joel 3:2, "I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land." Dark days and growing darker.
