Before 1948 there were already different ethnic groups living in the land known as Mandatory Palestine for generations, and in 1947 the UN passed and adopted Resolution 181 to ensure the land was co-shared by Jews, Arabs, and others.

Since the late 19th century Jews who supported Zionism movement wanted exclusive rights to the land and finally in 1948 they had their opportunity through the UN but with condition they must fulfill Resolution 181.

But what Israel did since 1948 with her countless military incursions and offensive ground attacks into land area designated for Palestinian Arab went against the directive of Resolution 181 and are consistent persistent show of will and intention not to co-exist with non-Jews in the land.

UN resolution 2334 (2016) officially stated the factual existence of Israeli illegal settlements into area designated for Palestinian Arab. The continuous deliberate expansion of such illegal Israeli settlements are politically created obstacles to any possible peace process for the long standing Israel-Palestine Conflict.

It is very obvious the current Israeli government leaders do not want peace but exclusive rights to the land for their own Jewish people.

Israel has forgotten the teachings of God Yahweh telling them not to ill-treat foreigners in the land –

 

Leviticus 19:33-34

33 “‘If a foreigner stays with you in your land, do not do him wrong. 34 Rather, treat the foreigner staying with you like the native-born among you — you are to love him as yourself, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt; I am Adonai your God.

 

Israel is desperately fighting for her exclusive rights to the land and Christian groups who support Israel also believe the Jews are the rightful owner of the land based on what and how they interpreted Bible verses of what God Yahweh promised to Abraham.

Three major problems needed to be addressed here –

 

1) Who actually have the right to the land?

2) What about the terms and conditions of living in the land?

3) How do scripture identify a true Hebrew, a real decedent of Abraham approved of God Yahweh to inherit the land?

 

All Jewish people who read their own Torah should know who the actual rightful owner of the land is –

 

Leviticus 25:23

“‘The land is not to be sold in perpetuity, because the land belongs to me — you are only foreigners and temporary residents with me.

 

The “me” in this scripture portion refer to God Yahweh.

The children of Israel led by Moses en route to the land of Canaan was explicitly told by their own God Yahweh the land does not belongs to them! And this is the very reason why God Yahweh warned them that they must fulfill their terms and condition to be allowed to live in the land

 

Deuteronomy 4:25-27

25 “When you have had children and grandchildren, lived a long time in the land, become corrupt and made a carved image, a representation of something, and thus done what is evil in the sight of Adonai your God and provoked him; 26 I call on the sky and the earth to witness against you today that you will quickly disappear from the land that you are crossing the Yarden to possess. You will not prolong your days there but will be completely destroyed. 27 Adonai will scatter you among the peoples; and among the nations to which Adonai will lead you away, you will be left few in number.

 

If God Yahweh can bring them in He can take them out as well!

Jewish people did lose their right to stay in the land before and that because they sinned against their own God Yahweh by refusing to fulfill their part of the terms and conditions.

God Yahweh did executed punishment on Israel based on the words of the covenant established through Moses. The people of Israel were scattered by the Assyrians, exiled to Babylon, and those who returned from Babylon were again expulsed by the Romans and scattered all over the known world.

The Temple built by Solomon was burned and destroyed.

Nehemiah and returning Jews from Babylon rebuilt the Temple but were burned and destroyed by the Romans.

The Ark of the Covenant has been a lost item since the destruction of the 1st Temple.

The words of their own prophet Ezekiel exposed the wickedness of Israel leaderships which led to the downfall of their own nation and how they lost their rights to live in the land

 

Ezekiel 33:21-29

21 In the twelfth year of our exile, on the fifth day of the tenth month, a fugitive from Yerushalayim came to me with the news, “The city has been struck.” 22 Now the hand of Adonai had been on me that evening, before the fugitive arrived — he had opened my mouth prior to his coming to me in the morning, so my mouth was open, and I was no longer mute. 23 Then the word of Adonai came to me: 24 “Human being, those living in the desolate parts of the land of Isra’el are saying, ‘Avraham was only one, and he inherited the land. But we are many, so [how much more] is the land given to us to inherit!’ 25 Therefore, tell them that Adonai Elohim says, ‘You eat [flesh] with the blood, you raise your eyes to your idols, and you shed blood — and you still expect to possess the land? 26 You depend on your swords, you commit disgusting practices, and each of you defiles his neighbor’s wife — and you still expect to possess the land?’ 27 Tell them that Adonai Elohim swears, ‘As I live, those living in the ruins will fall by the sword, those in the countryside I will give to the wild animals to eat, and those in the fortresses and caves will die of the plague. 28 Moreover, I will utterly desolate the land; it will cease taking pride in its power; and the mountains of Isra’el will be so desolate that no one will pass through.’ 29 Then they will know that I am Adonai, when I have made the land utterly desolate, because of all the disgusting practices they have committed.

 

The people of Israel together with their leaders assumed they still have the rights to live in the land regardless of the multitudes of sins they committed against God Yahweh!

These people are deceived and so is the current leadership of Israel and Christian groups supporting Israel without any considerations for the ongoing unrestrained blood shed against Palestinians, non-Jews, and foreign nationals in Gaza and West Bank areas.

God Yahweh revealed in scripture the promise of living in the land for the Jewish people is conditional. God Yahweh did warn the Jewish people countless time that He will punish Israel for their sins against Him by removing them from the land.

History will be repeated, Israel of today will be defeated again, the city burned and destroyed, because they willfully sinned against God Yahweh in their unrestrained bloodshed.

Although scripture did revealed promises of restoration for Israel we need to know who are the real Hebrew people chosen and approved of God Yahweh to be redeemed and restored to inherit the land

 

Romans 2:25-29

25 For circumcision is indeed of value if you do what Torah says. But if you are a transgressor of Torah, your circumcision has become uncircumcision! 26 Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the Torah, won’t his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision? 27 Indeed, the man who is physically uncircumcised but obeys the Torah will stand as a judgment on you who have had a b’rit-milah and have Torah written out but violate it! 28 For the real Jew is not merely Jewish outwardly: true circumcision is not only external and physical. 29 On the contrary, the real Jew is one inwardly; and true circumcision is of the heart, spiritual not literal; so that his praise comes not from other people but from God.

 

Israel as a nation today rejected Yeshua of Nazareth as their Messiah and thus rejected Paul’s message. Even though Paul was educated by Gamaliel and a recognized member of the Sanhedrin he was rejected as a heretic.

The message of Paul applied to current situation simply means the very acts of current Israeli leadership in ordering, funding, and encouraging unrestrained bloodshed against civilians and non-Jews in the land disqualified themselves as pure Hebrews who are true decedents of Abraham.

The leaders of Israel today do not know or understand? That they are fighting a losing battle? That they have once again lost their rights to the land because they rejected the words of the covenant God Yahweh established with Israel through Moses?

The Messiah will come to restore Israel and He will separate and divide to reveal who are true Hebrews approved of God Yahweh to inherit the land but before that the current state of Israel will be subjected to great disaster and extreme destruction due to the sins of Israel government leaderships.

This is a time of great disaster for Mankind!
