Modern day Israel is only inhabiting a small remnant of the land that God told them to take thousands of years ago. Essentially, everything between the Nile River and the Euphrates river is Israel. Currently modern Israel has reclaimed a small sliver of this land, but other nations are occupying Israel’s land. These include eastern Egypt, the northern third of Saudi Arabia, most of Iraq and Syria, all of Lebanon and Palestine, and a good bit of Turkey.
Where does the Bible say this?
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Command the people of Israel, and say to them, When you enter the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan as defined by its borders), your south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin alongside Edom, and your southern border shall run from the end of the Salt Sea on the east. And your border shall turn south of the ascent of Akrabbim, and cross to Zin, and its limit shall be south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon. And the border shall turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and its limit shall be at the sea. “For the western border, you shall have the Great Sea and its coast. This shall be your western border. “This shall be your northern border: from the Great Sea you shall draw a line to Mount Hor. From Mount Hor you shall draw a line to Lebo-hamath, and the limit of the border shall be at Zedad. Then the border shall extend to Ziphron, and its limit shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your northern border. “You shall draw a line for your eastern border from Hazar-enan to Shepham. And the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain. And the border shall go down and reach to the shoulder of the Sea of Chinnereth on the east. And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and its limit shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land as defined by its borders all around.” Moses commanded the people of Israel, saying, “This is the land that you shall inherit by lot, which the LORD has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half-tribe. For the tribe of the people of Reuben by fathers’ houses and the tribe of the people of Gad by their fathers’ houses have received their inheritance, and also the half-tribe of Manasseh. The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan east of Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
– Numbers 34:1-15
Wasn’t Israel driven out out the promised land? Yes, however that was temporary, and not an invitation for other nations to permanently hold it.
“The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God.”
– Genesis 17:8
Wouldn’t this trigger another world war? Maybe, but God will be with Israel as long as Israel is with God. And whoever supports Israel in this will find favor with God. Where do we see this?”
“I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
– Genesis 12:3
This is clear. If you want your nation to be blessed, you must support Israel. Those who attack Israel will not succeed.
