Israel and Her Land

God’s Land Grant to Abraham/Israel. What exactly is God’s Land Grant promise to Abraham and his seed, Israel.

Many followers of Israel have no idea just where the borders of Israel lie which were granted by God to Abraham and his chosen nation Israel. Below are some scriptures in the Old Testament which delineate these borders exactly.

The dark outlined area describes the Royal Land Grant from God to Israel through Abraham.

Genesis 15:18 “In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:”

Ezekiel 48:1 “How these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; …”

Ezekiel 48:28- 29 “And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of strife in Kadesh, and to the river toward the great sea. “

I strongly recommend you read Ezekiel 48:1-29 to understand the division of the land between the tribes of Israel.

When will this happen? By reading prophetic Scripture, it is commonly believed that this will occur at the beginning of the Millennial Reign of Jesus the Messiah over Israel and the nations. Here is the chronology:

• First: This event is called by Christians “The Rapture” or the taking out of believers from the earth to ever be with the Lord and this happens prior to the beginning of The Great Tribulation. This Divine Delivery is for Jews and Gentiles who died as believers in Jesus the Messiah and likewise for believers who are still living. These “Raptured” ones are those, Jew and Gentile, who have made the decision to trust Jesus the Messiah as their personal Savior. This event can happen at any moment in the blink of an eye.
• Second: Seven years of great Tribulation on the earth, at the middle of which the person and identity of the Anti-christ will be revealed.
• Third: At the close of the Great Tribulation, the Nations of the World will gather against Israel in the Final Big Battle of Armageddon, believed to take place in the Valley of Megiddo in Israel. The Messiah returns with His legions and, by the word of His mouth and the brightness of His coming, He destroys the anti-christ and his minions who are the enemies of Israel. This is a final victory for Israel.
• Fourth: After this victory, Israel as a nation will realize and trust that Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus will finalize the Royal Land Grant to the Nation of Israel described in the illustration above and will rule and reign over the nations for One Thousand Years (Millennium) from the Throne of David in Jerusalem (The City of Peace).

So today, what are we to do to prepare?

If you have never done so, make a decision and personal choice to trust Jesus Christ, the Messiah, as your Savior — right now. He is THE Savior for Jew and Gentile alike but until you personally trust Him alone as YOUR Savior, His free gift of salvation will bypass you. Take His Free Gift.

Israel: In The Coil Of The Snake..

Is Israel Surrounded?

This was originally posted January 6th 2006 — and is more relevant today than then.
Can you even find Israel in the sea of Muslims? Believe me, THEY know how to locate Israel.

Just Ramblin’.

Think Israel…. Think its borders.. think its predicament.

I am not an Israeli but I love Israel and pray for the peace of Jerusalem, but think on this.

Would “surrounded” describe Israel? We have known for years that this is the condition of the little nation of Israel. Look at a map of Israel and its environs.

• “Palestinian” Gaza to the west, “
• “Palestinian” Egypt and
• “Palestinian” Saudi Arabia Wahabists to the South,
• “Palestinian” Hesbollah in Lebanon and
• “Palestinian” Golan Heights to the North,
• “Palestinian” Syria to the East,
• “Palestinian” Iran over to the east within striking distance — Calling the shots
• Supposedly friendly Jordan to the East…

Palestinian terrorists Hamas elected in the Jimmah Cahtah supervised elections in Palestinian territory.

Hesbollah rockets striking Israel without mercy and without care about killing civillians.

Iranian “President” Ahmadinejad promoter and financier of Hamas and Hesbollah all over the world makes some claims he is the Islamic “messiah” and threatens to wipe Israel off the map.

Ahmadinejad recently concluded a friendly visit with Dictator Bashir Asad of Syria. What did they talk about? Was it in preparation for the present offensive?
General Georges Sada, former cabinet guy and confidant of Saddam Hussein writes and swears that he has credible information that Saddam shipped 57 airliners loaded with WMD to Asad in Damascus, Syria just before the Iraqi liberation. See article here

Israel IS surrounded, as in the coil of a snake, by militant Palestinians who vow to kill all Jews and wipe Israel off the map. Ahmadinejad , the oil rich “messiah,” could call all Palestinian terrorist governments to attack Israel on cue, while he sends some of those No-See-Um WMDs to Israel via his long range missiles.

Pray for the peace of Israel… but pray someone strikes Palestinian terrorists before they strike Israel. (and the terrorists will strike). (and they HAVE)!!
And just think, until recently the USA paid the Palestinian Authority millions and millions of US taxpayer dollars..

Addendum to Hamas plans:

From The Patriot Post, Conservative newsletter — published by Mark Alexander, a true Patriot friend:

With the election results in, the United States has vowed not to deal with Hamas—and with good reason. Thursday, only one day after the elections, a joint U.S.-Colombian sting operation uncovered a false passport ring with links to Hamas and al-Qa’ida. The counterfeit Colombian passports were then used by terrorists to gain entry into the U.S. and Europe. South American organized crime’s latest cooperation with Hamas and al-Qa’ida shows just how broad the global campaign against terror has become.

Israel is indeed in the coil of the snake — and Iran is the head of the serpent.
