SATURDAY MORNING BREAKFAST DISCUSSIONS

Last night Serene and the children stayed with us again. This morning our discussions were on many different subjects. One of them was Israel.

I shared a Scripture I read this last week that I hadn't noticed before. "When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. For the Lord's portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance" (Deuteronomy 32:8-9).

My Bible references Genesis 10:5, 25, 32; 11:5-9; and Acts 17:26). God first apportioned this land in the center of the earth for His people before any other nation. And that was even before the birth of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It was already in His plan and heart from the very foundation of the world. He allowed the Canaanites to live there until Israel had grown into a nation and were ready to possess the Lord.

Again in Exodus 6:4, 8 (Knox), God reminds the people of the covenant He made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when they were sojourning in the land of Canaan as pilgrims to give them this particular land for "AN EVERLASTING POSSESSION" (Genesis 17:8). They sojourned the land but it was not yet their home, but at the appropriate time He led them back to make it their home.

No matter what we think best in with our humanistic minds, nor what propaganda we listen to on the liberal media, it will not stand against the eternal Word of God which will last forever. God gave this land to Israel for an everlasting possession, and what we think will never change this fact. The best idea is to get on God's side. It's scary to be on the wrong side of God.
