God Won't Break His Promise To His "People"

This is one of the most common and egregious errors in modern Christianity, to assume that God owes something to a certain people because of their physical birthright. This apostasy is so wide spread, so engrained in Christians that it is like trying to teach a person of the Catholic faith the errors of their “Church” doctrine. There are ready made defenses in each case, they are brainwashed from birth to respond to it in a way so as to make it nearly impossible for them to hear the truth. “The land belongs to Israel”. “God will bless those who bless them,” “Replacement Theology”! “God is not a Liar, He will keep His promises!”

These are all responses that further the apostasy, the false doctrines that have played such a large role in getting us to where we are today. Christians have forfeited their birthright, like Esau, and have allowed a people who despise our Lord to gain so much power over them. It may be only the return of our Lord that saves us from a final, cataclysmic World War.

It is falsely taught and believed that the land of Palestine belongs to the physical descendants of Abraham, unconditionally. This has never been the case, it has always been a Covenant dependent upon faith and obedience, just as salvation has always been and still is. The Bible is clear on this, you simply have to forget what the false teachers and prophets have taught you, and read and accept the Word of God, and not the fairy tales that pass for sound doctrine in our time (2 Ti 4:3).

Deu 18:15 – 19 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

Act 3:22 -23 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

Act 7:37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

Always, from the beginning of God's dealings with men, He has punished disobedience. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate the fruit of the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil God removed them from the Garden of Eden (Gen 3). Those who disobeyed God after He had freed them from bondage in Egypt were not permitted to enter into the Promised Land, including Moses. Before and after the Children of Israel were in the land God warned them He would remove them if they did not obey His Commandments:

Deu 28:58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD …
Deu 28:63 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
Deu 28:64 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.

Faith and obedience has always been required to enjoy the blessings of the Lord. For men there has never been a Covenant that didn't require these things. That is why to say that God is restoring the nation of Israel to a people who neither believe or obey Him is ludicrous. He is the same yesterday today and forever. He will punish sin and will not reward disobedience, and faith is the only way to please Him. Read the scriptures below and then ask yourself if He would punish those who ate leavened bread so harshly, what would He do if they killed all the prophets and finally His own Son?

Exo 12:15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

We needn't wonder because Jesus told us:

Luk 20:13-16 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him. But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

God is no respecter of persons, as John the Baptist said He can raise up sons of Abraham from stones (Mat 3:9, Luk 3:8). His promises are for those who believe and obey, no exceptions, regardless of whether or not you can trace your ancestors back to Abraham or not. God has kept His promises and punished those who have been disobedient, after many warnings. The Israel of God continues (Rom 11, Gal 6:16), believers were kept in the Spiritual Olive tree representing it (Rom 11:16-24), and unbelievers were torn out, it is the same today. If those who claim to be Jews but are not (Rev 2:9. 3:9) repented and believed they would be added in to the Israel of God as well, it has nothing to do with the land or their physical birthright, every promise God made to men were fulfilled, along with the law and the Prophets by Christ at the cross and with the revelation that Jesus Christ is the Seed of Abraham (Gal 3:16). All we wait upon now is His return to destroy His enemies and to make the kingdoms of the world His own.

Rev 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
