Palestine Belongs to the Jews
Do the
Jewish people have any right to the land of Israel? Did they steal that land
from the Palestinians? Did they create the modern day state of Israel in
violation of international law? Is there any hope for real peace in the Middle
East between the Jews and the Arabs? And what does the Bible have to say about
these questions?
Moses warned
his people that if they refused to repent, if they continued to sin against
God, that it would ultimately lead to the greatest curse of all. Deuteronomy
28:64 reveals the greatest curse would be:
"Yahweh
will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other end
of the earth. And there you will serve other gods. And among those nations you
shall find no rest, and there shall be no resting place for the sole of your
foot; but there Yahweh will give you a trembling heart and failing of eyes, and
despair of soul."
What would
be the ultimate curse? The Jewish dispersion to the four corners of the earth.
So, the
crucial point is: the gift of the land was irrevocable and unconditional. The
Jewish people were given an eternal title, but their use and enjoyment of the
land was conditional. It depended upon their obedience to God.
