The Promised Land (Hebrew: הארץ המובטחת, translit.: ha-Aretz ha-Muvtachat) is another name for the Land of Israel. According to the Hebrew Bible, the land was promised by JHWH more than 3000 years ago as an everlasting possession to the descendants of the patriarch Abraham.
Now The Lord had said unto Abram,
"Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee; and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing; and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed".
Genesis 12:3
God spoke this promise to Abram (age 75 ) as he was leaving Haran to begin the journey to God's Promised Land.
Why do the descendants of Ishmael continue on with their hatred and rebellion against the God of their father, Abraham?
Abraham said unto God, "O that Ishmael might live before thee"!
And God said,
"Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year".
And He left off talking with him and God went up from Abraham.
Genesis 17:18
God changed Abram's name to Abraham, and then made His covenant with Abraham's son of promise, Isaac. This happened before Isaac was even born. Abraham was 99 years old when God spoke to him about The Covenant, and Ishmael ( Abraham's first son by Hagar, Sarah's handmaiden) was 13 year old.
God's promise to Abraham established His holy covenant only with the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (whose name was later changed to Israel).
Therefore for this reason, those who curse Israel (who are Abraham's covenant descendants) will be cursed, and those who bless Israel will be blessed.
Israel is, and eternally will remain God's covenant nation, above all nations of the earth, God established His covenant with them alone. They are called to be a light to all the nations of the earth, through God's holy word. In Father Abraham, all families of the earth are to be blessed. To bless Israel is to receive the blessing.
This is God's plan for mankind.
To oppose it is to oppose God Almighty.
Be warned today!
No people on the earth have been more persecuted than Israel. Messiah Yeshua came and redeemed all people from the curse of the law by His own blood. Believe on Him and you shall be saved! Believe in God's prophets and you shall be established.
