Israel has the right to the land of Israel %07 - 8 - 1

Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” God owns the heaven and the earth including the land of Israel. Our Creator God has the divine authority to lease what He wants to whomever He chooses. God gave the land of Israel to Abraham and his seed though unconditional covenants.

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 Israelites would be strangers in a land not theirs, however, when they would come out of a period of enslavement they would be given an unconditional title to. Genesis 15:18, “In the same day the LORD made a covenant (H1285) with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed (H2233) have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates.” This was a unilateral land covenant granted to Abram and his descendants signifying that it’s fulfillment was dependent for on God alone.

“Genesis 17:1-6” The covenant was to be accomplished in due time. The promised Seed was Christ, and Christians in him. And all who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abram, being partakers of the same covenant blessings. In token of this covenant his name was changed from Abram, “a high father,” to Abraham, “the father of a multitude.” All that the Christian world enjoys, it is indebted for to Abraham and his Seed.”

[Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary]

God renewed His covenant with Abram and changed his name to Abraham and circumcision was then instituted as an outward sign of this covenant. Genesis 17:7-8, “7 And I will establish my covenant (H1285) between me and thee and thy seed (H2233) after thee in their generations for an everlasting (H5769) covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. 8 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.”

H1285, covenant, in the sense of cutting, a compact, made by passing between pieces of flesh, confederacy, league.

H2233, seed, figuratively fruit, plant, sowing time, posterity, child.

H5769, everlasting, generally time out of mind, past or future, eternity; continuance, eternal, perpetual, beginning of the world and without end.

God put the Gentiles on notice; Genesis 12:3, “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Books have been written about the price to pay for opposing God and Israel.

"In Eye to Eye – Facing the Consequences of Dividing Israel you will gain a greater understanding of the biblical significance of what is occurring today in the nation of Israel. You will read about the consequences that the leaders and their nations have experienced after pressuring Israel to divide her land."

As America has Done to Israel by John P. McTernan has a similar theme.

How does Isaiah 5:1-7 impact us here today? 532-2 - 15 - 1

About a year ago I answered is a discussion question in another KI class, "What is God’s greatest problem? How is it resolved?” God’s greatest problem is just how does a righteous God forgive sins without compromising His righteousness? Of our many sins one that I suspect that will really bring down God’s hedge of protection will be our arrogance and disobedience in our treatment of his chosen people.

According to CM, God's has three Alternatives:

#1 He can indulge it and allow it to go on forever;
#2 He can force man into automata;
#3 He can withdraw Himself.

IMO any indulging our sins by God, alternative #1, is quickly coming to an end. We are not automats so we are left with alternative #3. God can choose to withdraw himself from us by withdrawing His hedge of protection from America. Given world events, it would seem that any hedge of protection has long since been removed from many other countries and is being removed from American.

Jeremiah 19:3-5 as well as Isaiah 5:1-7 seem as applicable today as when they were proclaimed thousands of years ago.

In his book “The Harbinger: The ancient mystery that holds the secret of America's Future” Jonathan Cahn discloses that when attacked by the Assyrians, those in the northern kingdom boasted, "The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars." Isaiah 9:10. Rabbi Cahn said that 911 was a shaking, however, rather than repenting, two of our leaders quoted Isaiah 9:10 and most in the country wanted to rebuild the towers taller and better. We would seem that we are on track for a definite pruning.

Isaiah 5:6 includes “I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.” Interesting and timely article, “West Coast Is “On Track for Having the Worst Drought in 500 Years”

And of course we are again meddling in Israel’s right to the land deeded to her by God in His unconditional covenant. 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.”

God will not be mocked and will continue taking down the hedge of protection that we in the United States have long enjoyed. Interestingly enough, a group of rabbis are reacting to John Kerry’s bulling of Israel and threatening an embargo. “U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is now being warned he’s risking the divine wrath of God if he continues plans for Israel that some feel is a war against the Almighty.”

Indeed, these are very interesting times that we live in.
