“Who did God use in the Old Testament to make the Canaanites leave the land? Wasn’t it the Israelites?”
Yep. And is He using them now to do the same thing to the Palestinians? No, apparently not. Wake up!
“How do you know that?”
Are they still there?
“I can tell you how I know that God wants them to have the land... he promised it to them. Abraham asked God that Ishmael be the inheritor of the promise (Gen. 17:18) and God said “no” (Gen. 17:19). So, the land belongs to the descendants of Isaac.”
I understand what you’re saying. What you don’t seem to understand is that God - for whatever reason - doesn’t seem to be doing anything to oust the Palestinians. If you have any hard facts about God ousting the Palestinians, post them. Got any? Any at all?
“Praise God that His promises are everlasting, that He does not change (Malachi 3:6). Satan has been trying from the very beginning to keep any of God’s promises from being fulfilled... he was behind throwing the Hebrew newborns in the Nile, or killing the innocents at Bethlehem. But God’s promises don’t change, He is Yisrael HsTzur (the Rock of Israel). So, when he promised the land it was forever, as you can read in Gen. 13:15.”
Again, If you have any hard facts about God ACTUALLY ousting the Palestinians, post them. Got any? Any at all? Has God struck the Palestinians with a terrible plague that has wiped them out? Has He wiped them out with storms? Has He wiped them out with enemy armies? Well? Has He?
We have got a bit off topic. Remember the thread was about Pope Francis leading the Church in a pro-Israel direction. And I questioned why did he acknowledged the State of Palestine? The land was given to Israel in perpetuity. In fact, the day is coming when they will control all of the land given to them, from the Nile to the Euphrates, but that would be a topic for another thread!
