Israel's Rights an Eternal Reality - A Point Poorly Made if Not Understood Before Now

Let us understand a common truth, one that if not understood from this reader before now, let us make it plain. The people of Israel, sons and daughters of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, were vested with the unyielding love of Almighty God and the associated rights so conveyed by the Word of the LORD, whether the people of Abraham have understood and accepted their situation before Almighty God or not, as depicted by Moses in Deuteronomy and elsewhere.

If at any time there was a thought of this reader's being misinterpreted to think that Israel was disenfranchised of Almighty God at any time, let it be plainly known now that Israel was, is and always will be the apple of her Almighty Sovereign's eye, the best evidence being from the cross, where as our LORD was suffering His final indignities, all were forgiven, Jewish and gentile alike. Believing and accepting that is the basis for all truth.

How do we know this and make the point all need to understand? Yeshua said, 'salvation is of the Jews,' and through the Jews the love of Almighty God extends to all who will receive Him in the name of the Son of David. Look through the Holy Scriptures all one wants, but you will never read where the rights to the land were denied to Abraham, only shown to be mishandled by those in succession who would not receive them.

Even as they try today to give away promised lands to the gentile squatters, we can confidently say by the power of Him who is able to keep Israel in the cup of His hand that any such misunderstanding will soon be cleared up as we see the Word of the LORD performed before our very eyes. Zion has always been the LORD's Holy hill as Israel was given the rights to the land.
