Palestine. Part-Four.

We now come to examine the Balfour declaration, which promised much to both the Egyptian Arabs (termed the Palestinians) by the British and the Jews who had started to flock into the region from about 1890. The British believed that by promising both sides something it would be an appeasement to peace for them and not peace for anyone else.

This was a common ploy of the British Empire and had been practiced world-wide, giving a never fulfilled hope to many peoples and races of one day having their lands back. At that time the British considered themselves to be the embodiment of the New Roman Empire.

But the return of the Jews to the land of Israel was not accidental, it was God’s will. He had always promised them that one day he would restore them back into the land and this time they would not be removed. Isaiah 49:6, Acts 1:6.

Palestine. Part-Three.

From Ad57 to 1920 the Arab peoples who lived in this region had no real issues with the Turkish control of that region.

During the Christian Crusades, the autrosouties committed by the Crusaders have not been forgotten to this day by the Muslim world.

Before deluded people claiming to be followers of Jesus, the Jewish Messiah jump up to defend the rights of the mythical Palestinians and their claims today. They first need to account for the Crusades.

World history and events are all tied into God’s plan for His people Israel, which are the Jews and not the doctrines of replacement theology that replaces Israel with the Church. Jesus said it himself  ‘Salvation is from the Jews’. John 4:22.

Palestine. Part-Two.

The origins of the name Palestine.

Prior to AD 57 this land was called by the Jews occupied Israel. After the Jewish revolt at Masada, near to the west-side of the Dead Sea and their defeat. The Roman decided to rid the land of the Jews, they destroyed, the Jewish Temple and the city of Jerusalem. Them Emperor Hadrian had the whole place re-built and dedicated a new temple, naming it Aelia Capitolina. All Jews where thence forbidden to enter this city. Over the three years of the new construction the Romans carried out the worst atrocities against the Jews. After that the Roman renamed the whole region  Syro-Palestina.

We must remember that this land was originally given to Israel by God. Genesis 12:6-7.

Palestine. Part-One.

Is there really such a place and are there really a race known as the Palestinians?

Up to 1948 the Arab peoples who lived in the Holy Lands or what we call today modern Israel, would have described themselves as Egyptians or desert Arabs, Bedouin. But kindly to the British rulers from the fall of the Turkish Otteman Empire in 1919 to 1948 and their occupation of the region, they became jealous of the Jews and encouraged the Arabs to identify themselves with the ancient Philistines. Thus they encouraged division and are continuing to do that to this day with the international idea, that the only solution will be a two state one.

When we come to read the bible, if we believe it?  We will very soon discover that God has other ideas about the land and His promises to His people Israel.  Genesis 24:7, Romans chapters 9-11.

The word Israel is mentioned 1854 times in the whole bible, 1728 times in the Tanakh/Old Testament and 128 time in the New Testament. I was not able to find any references to Palestine, funny that?

Replacement Theology. Part-Three.

Here are your list of scriptures that you use to justify that God has given up on the Jews and Israel. Matthew 21:43, Romans 2:28-29, Romans 4:13, Romans 11:17-23, Galatians 3:29,

But as we have seen you are very wrong and deluded in your thoughts as to the way that God has planned everything to suit Himself. Now this calls for a time of prayer and reflection leading to repentance, unless of course you may be to proud or stubborn to do that?

Replacement Theology. Part-Two.

Don’t be to smug!

Both the Jews and the gentiles who have faith and trust in the death and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah are now united as one people. Ephesians 2:11-18. But we must remember, we gentiles are only grafted into the vine because of Jewish unbelief. We who are olive branches can be removed, since God can do anything. This doctrine takes apart the teaching of ‘once saved always saved.’ Romans 11:11-36.

We are given a serious warning in Romans 11:20-22, which should be heeded.

Meanwhile God has a separate plan for Israel.

Romans 11: 25-27, Isaiah 59:20-21, Isaiah 27:9,  Jeremiah 31:33-34, Hebrews 8:8-12, 10:16-17.

Replacement Theology. Part-One.

The sad thing today with so many Christians is that they have started to move away from what the scriptures of the Bible is really saying. They have started to change and ignore whole sections of it.  They either call these old fashioned ideas or the opinions of men, the writers. One doctrine which has plagued the Christian Church for the length of its history, is that of excluding the Jews. First the book of Hebrews was not accepted into the cannon, then through various campaign’s the Crusades, inquisition, the Martin Luther reformation, Russian pogroms and finally the Nazi Holocaust. Christians have made excuses over the Jews like saying they are Christ killers. But it was Jesus the King of the Jews, the Jewish Messiah who said himself that he was going to the cross.  Luke 18:31-34, Matthew 20:17-19, Mark 10:31-34.

Now today with the establishment of the State of Israel, some mislead people are trying again to attack the Jews with replacement theology and various political movements in support of the Palestinian cause, which says Israel has no rights to the land God promised to return the Jews to. Matthew 5:17-18, All these beliefs are contradictory to the Bible. You either believe the bible or you don’t.

Jesus was never political

Today there seems to be a new movement and stance in the British Churches in relation to Israel, especially in light of the Palestinian peoples and their rights to the land. Some Christian clergy have joined the ‘Christ at the road block‘ movement.

But the reality of Jesus was, he was moral, being a perfect man fulfilling the Law without sin. He criticized the religious leaders of the day, but in no way did he ever get involved politically with the Roman rulers.

The Jewish people wanted Jesus to be their King and to restore the Kingdom of Israel, but he came as the suffering servant to die and take the sins of man on his body to redeem those who would believe in Him.
