Since I travel to Israel frequently on business I have had many opportunities to speak with Rabbis and less devout Jews on many issues including the historical ownership of the land of Israel. I have been told many times that Israel, including "Greater Israel" (The land from the Nile to the Euphrates) has been allocated to the Jews by God. It is their passionate belief.
This belief is the reason that the government of Israel sends settlers into the West Bank to establish settlements. It is the reason so many non Jews have been forced into exile as refugees, displaced from homes and land their families have occupied for many generations.
So is this the true covenant with God? That Jews have a biblical right to this land to the exclusion of others? Well, lets take a closer look at this. In fact, Genesis, chapter 24 (where the covenant is established) certainly does NOT give anything to Jews. Nothing! The covenant is with the OFFSPRING of Abraham. It has absolutely nothing to do with the a religion. Now, the offspring of Abraham includes some people who happen to practice the jewish religion but also some who have chosen Islam or Christianity as their religion of choice.

I have been reading the recent posts and they are about what God said and his involvement- in the past and what God said - will happen in the future and his future involvement. There is actually reams and reams of it.
What none of you are saying is about God's involvement in the pertinent NOW and what is happening to all the people living there NOW... you would think God would have been far more active NOW instead of silent and actually missing;
especially when there is the blatant obvious fact that most his commandments are all being ignorred and broken, surely an Angel or some heavenly being might have been available to sort out the mess if he can't be here NOW.
You can bring up prophesy and say this prophesy tells us about this or that specific action but you can't dodge the fact that whom is being discussed here is God, whom is unavailable and silent when needed most is the God you avidly speak of.

It is so obvious and yet many refuse to see it for what it is. Rumor has it that Obama is going to serve a second term. Does it mean that people will vote, but it will be just a formality, that it will be just to pacify, and make everyone think they had a part in it? Or will it be that everyone will have been asleep all these past years and didn't see anything that happened?
I'm very afraid for the U.S.of A. the future looks very bleak, I really do pray that what I feel won't really happen.

Of course if this didn't happen, that all nations do away with Israel, Israel is no more, of course that would make athiests out of all of us. But of course that won't happen because Christians know God is not going to allow anyone to touch Israel as he hasn't allowed so far.

God hasn't saved Israel..
The West has and mainly US $$s and weapons..
I didn't see them fighter jets fall from heaven and I doubt God prints money..

Today, what is happening to a once and mighty nation called the United States of America is the curse that was brought on by it's leaders and it's immoral followers of all the carnal pleasures. It is also the mistake to turn it's back on Israel. The leader of the U.S. comes from darkness not light, and he is leading the country to it's doom with the help of his followers and handlers.

Let's put this into tighter focus, shall we? America has peaked out and is currently in decline, and this has happened since 1948. The curse, if you choose to see it that way, was brought on by leaders who were overwhelmingly subservient to "Israel." The "immoral followers of all the carnal pleasures" were ordinary people who were mesmerized by a largely Jewish Hollywood, and gambling, drugs, and porn, in which Jews are often involved. That "I will bless those that bless thee..." theology is flatly contradicted by China, which kicked its Jews out, and proceeded on to 10% growth per year for many years.
The "Support the Jews" theology does not jibe with the real world. or with the Bible, properly interpreted. We see televangelist after televangelist praise "Israel," but how many people stop to connect the dots? The media is largely owned by Jewish interests, so that message is a slam-dunk. We believe in a free press, but the contrary view is relegated to a few AM radio stations and privately-printed pamphlets. It all feeds on itself. John Hagee, in particular, has even denied Christ in order to lift up the Jews (that old "special relationship" thing).

This is the same blame game nothing new here. In fact it is no different than Johnny told me to do it, so it's his fault. Instead of taking on ones responsibility for ones own actions it is better to blame someone else, that's what it amounts to.
Who cares who did what, what's most important is how do we correct our own mistakes, that's what matters most in the end. Pointing the finger at someone else does not solve problems, it only creates more, and we stay at a stand still while things only get worse. We end up playing right into the hands of those that spread deception and those that want to control.edit on 12-4-2011 by hawaii50th because: (no reason given)

Agreed. People should take responsibility, and not transfer their own hatred and terrorism on "terrorists," Muslim or otherwise. Disengage from your loyalties, biases, and prejudices, and see how things really are. However, statements like "Who cares who did what..." are another way of saying "I am not willing to deal with those issues." Be certain that you are not among those who spread deception and want to control. Laz is only trying to open peoples' eyes to theology which serves another cause than the cause of Christ.

I am just a human being and do not know God's plans other than what has been written. All I know and what other Christians, Israel supporters, know is that Israel will continue to stand till the end. It has been prophesised the land will not be taken because it is the apple of his eye, but when all nations surround it thinking they will take it is when Jesus returns.
Until Israel does not stand as a nation as many of you believe will happen, you cannot denounce our faith in the Lord that his eye is on Israel for a very special reason. He is protecting that land because it is the promised land. Israel plays a huge part in faith because it still stands even when all nations surround it. If it continues to stand when all nations literally surround it ready to blow it out of the atmosphere is going to be eye opening for many people and hopefully will make you realise we all have a saviour and going against Israel is going against Him.
Of course if this didn't happen, that all nations do away with Israel, Israel is no more, of course that would make athiests out of all of us. But of course that won't happen because Christians know God is not going to allow anyone to touch Israel as he hasn't allowed so far.

Hello Australian 2011 thank you for your reply to my post.I am making some points in reply, not in an antagonizing way, but putting them up for discussion.
Your first sentence makes the valid point we only know what we have been told by those who wrote God's plan down for him and who didn't mention Jesus. by name. Titles used then, we know could relate to either God or a King and what is also blythly ignorred is that at that time, the peoples involved were Pagan with a very rich optomistic belief system and totally different view of life and worship to the biblical one that the Scribes created when they wrote their version of history.
Politics actually came before religion. and the land now called Israel is fertile, apart from odd famines However, it exists in an area consisting of desert. Quite logically where would you like to live were you in that vicinity then?
I think you have also gained the impression that anyone raising objections to history being manipulated, is attacking your personal Christian faith. The two are separate things. Your relationship with your God is sacred to you, no other human can come between that, unless you come out of that personal sancity and then go on to politics and turn your God into a land owning King or worse swallow a recent theme being played as loudly as it possibly can , that its Christians and their governments that must support Israel. Wake up is God giving Israel the huge amount of aid she takes in each year, yet has no starving as in Africa etc. No God is not helping,whose helping are people who have been inveigled by other people into doing so.
Incidentally when you think of Christ's battle, it was actually with the Pharasee Priesthood and Scribes and their false claims. (you will obviously know that the Sadducees didn't fare any better against them either) and in the end the Pharasees used politics to destroy him, they didn't rely on God to do it did they? Ever thought why is there no record of the Pharisees petitioning God to ask for his help against Christ first?
