So he named him Israel. And God said to him, "I am God Almighty; be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body. The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you."<BR/><BR/>Deuteronomy 34:4 "This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, 'I will give it to your offspring'"<BR/><BR/>and of course He doesn't 'need' a temple or a land but He deems it so, at least until after the Millennium Reign when He Himself will dwell among us and BE the temple.Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32297797.post-18990437281224551672008-12-29T12:19:00.000-05:002008-12-29T12:19:00.000-05:00Israel and Palestine are both murderers killing ea...Israel and Palestine are both murderers killing each other over nothing. Murderer or justified killing in the name of God - what is the difference? It makes no difference to the innocent child killed in the crossfire what semantics you use to justify his death. It isn't worth one human life to hold onto a worthless shrine. Give up the shrine. Give up the Holy Land. You are concerned they will destroy it? So be it. Better yet, destroy it so that people can see that God does not depend on the constructs of man. It means nothing. Is your faith so weak as to need a pile of rocks to hold it up? God dwells in the soul, not in real estate, not in a temple, not in a book, not in a "chosen land." God is disgusted that people hold real estate, even and especially designated "holy" real estate, higher and more precious than human life. God doesn't need real estate. God doesn't need a temple. God doesn't need a "center" from which to "reign." Those are the concepts and words of selfish foolish people, not the way of God. That is a promise. Not mine.

I think Israel was right to respond in force when hundreds of missiles came into their country. I do not, however, think Israel should carry on a ground war or continue to make arial attacks. The Palestinians should not have elected Hammas as their government. It is going to be a farce to watch them pretend to go after the terrorists instigating the trouble.<BR/><BR/>ChuckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32297797.post-18581024504746151932008-12-27T16:17:00.000-05:002008-12-27T16:17:00.000-05:00Israelis are not terrorists.

The peacefully inhabit a lawful land and endure thousands of rockets coming at them from godless terrorists who whose stated claim is to wipe them from the earth. They decided to defend themselves.<BR/><BR/>Israel is God's chosen land. It will not only be habitable, it will be the center of Jesus' reign on earth from the new Jerusalem. This is a promise. Not mine.

No one will be fighting over the "holy land" because it will all be uninhabitable for several thousand years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
