God: 'Israel owns land of Palestine forever'

There are 203 times the Bible calls the God of the Bible the “God of Israel.” It never says He’s the God of the Gentiles, or the God of Islam, and that’s why people don’t like the nation Israel or the Judeo-Christian tradition based upon the God of the Bible.

God made a promise to Adam and Eve about sending a Redeemer, that "seed of a woman." After the Flood and the subsequent Tower of Babel, God calls out one man.
 
He tells Abraham, “No longer is it going to be the seed of a woman with any person in the human race. Now, I’m going to take the seed of a woman and make them your seed. It’s in you Abraham, in thy seed, all the nations of the earth will be blessed.”

It’s not just any seed of Abraham; he had two boys, Ismael and Isaac. It’s not Ismael, it’s Isaac. That’s why God’s called “the God of Abraham and Isaac.” It’s Jacob, not Esau.

The seed line’s being identified and involved in that is circumcision. Talking to Abraham in Genesis 17: 6-7, God promises Abraham: “And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
[7] And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.”

Jordan explains, “You can’t have a nation if you don’t have borders, language and culture and God gave Israel all of that. That’s what He promises Abraham and He says it’s forever.

"If something’s everlasting, how long does it last? Verse 8 says, ‘And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.’

“How long does Israel own that land? So who owns the land of Palestine? Israel. Why? ‘The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.’ If God owns everything, can He deed a part of it to somebody?

“Knowing that throws out 97 percent of Christian theology because 97 percent of Christian theology thinks God is through with Israel and there’s no hope for national Israel to go back to their land and that we, the Body of Christ, are Israel today.

“All you have to do is read Genesis 17 and you won’t fall for that poppycock. But the people who read it don’t believe Genesis. They think Adam and the Flood was a folklore kind of a thing.”
