The Abrahamic Covenant and Today’s Conflict in Israel

“2- Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. 3- Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.” (Joshua 1:2- 3 King James Version)

Israel is a nation from the seed of Abraham. Jacob was named “Israel” by God after he wrestled with Him as he tried to escape from the wrath of his brother Esau. (Genesis 32:21- 32) In the book of (Genesis 12:7; 13:15; 17:7- 8) are the records of the Abrahamic covenant, and it was confirmed again in (Genesis 22:15- 24) after the offering of Isaac to God by Abraham his father. And the Lord confirmed again His covenant to his people when Isaac blessed Jacob at Bethel after he strived deceitfully to get the blessing from his brother Esau (Jacob’s favorite) with the help of his mother Rebekah. (Genesis 28:1- 5) But before all these, God gave the promise of the inheritance to Moses already according to (Deuteronomy 30:1- 10). After the death of Moses, God talked to Joshua again about the land. (Joshua 1:1- 10)

On May 14, 1948, when the Jewish People’s Council in Tel Aviv Museum declared the establishment of the State of Israel as nation; it should not be a surprise to anyone who knows his Bible. It is not a surprise for Christians and those who know the Word if Israel will gain more land or occupy more land and power, because it was promised to them. The conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, between the Jews and Muslims has been there from the time of their fathers in the Scriptures. It is the fulfillment of the prophecies and the sign of the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.As God has promised- they will never win. The Bible says; “4- From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. 5- There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 6- Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. (Joshua 1:4- 6 KJV)

The Results of Abiding is Fruit Bearing…

 “4- Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5- I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6- If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7- If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. KJV)

The Lord Jesus Christ is accounted of or look up to as the true Vine by all believers. He is not something, or the literal plant that we see in our garden; He is Someone. The book of John 15:1- 10  is a paradox, and it is not a contradiction of statement of what He claims He is. It is a doctrine with authority and truth. It is pleasant and delightful to observe and watch Christians as they grow and abide with the true Vine- the Lord Jesus Christ. The doctrine of His gospel, the truth of what He said, and the comfort of His Spirit are very refreshing to every believer as we rest and trust in His Word and in His love.

Nothing compares to the sense of delights and the spiritual pleasure we have in meditating on the Word with His presence, and enjoying Him in our fellowship. The sweetness in abiding with Him is incomparable and can’t be explain to an empty hearts, thus Christ must be in the heart of man first and foremost before he/she can enjoy His abiding. The true abundance is in Christ and our fellowship with Him. It more of spiritual than material or carnal. Jesus said; “9- I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10- The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:9- 10 KJV)
