Abrahamic Land Promise to Israel fulfilled 3000 years ago!
Israel becoming a nation in 1948 does not fulfill Bible prophecy.
Introduction:
1. We support the state of modern Israel as a stable productive
democracy and a protectorate of biblical archeology from the Muslims who
would hinder and destroy any evidence the Bible is accurate and that Jews
are the historic occupiers of the land since 1400 BC. However Israel
becoming a nation in 1948 AD was a non-event as far as Bible prophecy is
concerned. The only hope of Israel is to accept Jesus Blood for their sins
and be saved though faith, repentance, confession of Christ and water
baptism.
2. Pre-tribulation Rapture and dispensationalists teach the
false doctrine that God failed to fulfill the three promises he made to
Abraham in fleshly Israel and the church (spiritual Israel).
3. All Premillennialists reject the plain Bible teaching that
Israel possessed all the land God promises to Israel through Abraham.
4. Any church or preacher that claims that 1948 AD fulfilled
Bible prophecy when modern Israel gained statehood, is a false teacher and
ignorant of the bible. These false teachers are called "premillennialists,
dispensationalists" and believe in the Rapture.
A. Plain Bible passages say that Israel got all the land promised Abraham:
1. "So the Lord gave Israel all the land which He had sworn to
give to their fathers, and they possessed it and lived in it. And the Lord
gave them rest on every side, according to all that He had sworn to their
fathers, and no one of all their enemies stood before them; the Lord gave
all their enemies into their hand. Not one of the good promises which the
Lord had made to the house of Israel failed; all came to pass. " (Joshua
21:43-45)
2. "Now behold, today I am going the way of all the earth, and
you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one word of all
the good words which the Lord your God spoke concerning you has failed; all
have been fulfilled for you, not one of them has failed. "It shall come
about that just as all the good words which the Lord your God spoke to you
have come upon you, so the Lord will bring upon you all the threats, until
He has destroyed you from off this good land which the Lord your God has
given you. " (Joshua 23:14-15)
3. Josh 24:28 Then Joshua dismissed the people, each to his
inheritance.
4. 2 Sam 8:3 David defeated Hadadezer...as he went to restore
his rule at the River [Euphrates].
5. 1 Kings 4:21 Now Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from
the [Euphrates] River to the land of the Philistines and to the border of
Egypt; they brought tribute and served Solomon
6. 2 Chr 9:26 And he was the ruler over all the kings from the
Euphrates River even to the land of the Philistines, and as far as the
border of Egypt.
7. Neh 9:8 And Thou didst find Abraham's heart faithful before
Thee, and didst make a covenant with him to give him the land of the
Canaanite, of the Hittite and the Amorite, of the Perizzite, the Jebusite,
and the Girgashite-- to give it to his descendants. And Thou hast fulfilled
Thy promise, for Thou art righteous.
8. Jer 11:5 "in order to confirm the oath which I swore to your
forefathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this
day." Then I answered and said, "Amen, O LORD."
9. So it is simply apostate theology to say that God did not
give Israel all the land promised to Abraham.
B. The 6 cities of Refuge prove the land promise was fulfilled:
1. For example, God said that if Israel got all the land
promised, then they would have six cities of refuge.
2. "Therefore, I command you, saying, 'You shall set aside
three cities for yourself.' "If the LORD your God enlarges your territory,
just as He has sworn to your fathers, and gives you all the land which He
promised to give your fathers- if you carefully observe all this
commandment which I command you today, to love the LORD your God, and to
walk in His ways always-then you shall add three more cities for
yourself, besides these three. " (Deuteronomy 19:7-9)
3. Joshua 20:7-9 lists six cities of refuge - Kadesh, Shechem,
Hebron, Bezer, Ramoth, and Golan.
4. Therefore God gave them all the land and premillennialism is
utterly refuted!
C. Premillennialists are deluded false teachers:
1. Premillennialists falsely teach that Israel never got the
land they were promised and that God had to bring Israel again into the
land in 1948 AD, in order to fulfill his promise. This is entirely false!
2. Here are some typical statements by famous
premillennialists:
a. "God unconditionally promised Abraham's descendants a
literal world-wide kingdom over which they would rule through their Messiah
who would reign upon King David's throne...Even the animals and reptiles
will lose their ferocity and no longer be carnivorous," (The Late Great
Planet Earth, Hal Lindsay, p 165)
b. "The nature of the blessings are earthly, territorial, and
national, and have nothing to do with a spiritual church to which none of
these blessings has been promised ...Christ is not now on the throne of
David bringing blessings to Israel as the prophets predicted, but He is
rather on His Father's throne waiting for the coming earthly kingdom and
interceding for His own who form the church," (The Millennial Kingdom: A
Basic Text in Premillennial Theology, John F. Walvoord, p 205, 1983 AD)
c. 3. "The foundation of the state of Israel in
recent years has been a part of the predicted regathering of scattered
Israel back to their ancient land...The present partial possession of the
land is a token. The complete possession awaits the coming of Israel's
Redeemer" (The Millennial Kingdom: A Basic Text in Premillennial Theology,
John F. Walvoord, p 185, 1983 AD)
Conclusion:
1. Premillennialism is a theology of infidelity because it
refuses to accept the plain teaching of the Bible that Israel possessed all
the land God promised them through Abraham over 3400 years ago under Joshua
and Solomon.
2. All three promises God made to Abraham were fulfilled over
2000 years ago.
3. Israel became a great nation in Egypt, possessed the land
under Joshua and Solomon and through Jesus all the nations of the earth
were blessed.
4. The idea that God must re-establish National Israel, rebuilt
the Temple, restart animal sacrifices all to fulfill the land promise is a
huge and obvious false doctrine. Few care enough to study it for themselves
and escape the bondage of the false doctrine.
