that God gave to Israel through the Abraham Covenant compared to what Israel
actually has today in yellow on the map above it.
I wonder what would happen if the Jewish people suddenly woke up and realized they
are being cheated out of all the land God has actually given them since the little sliver
of land they are now living on is only a fraction of what is promised to them. And even
that, the Arabs and nations of the world are trying to steal the little fraction shown in
yellow on the map, which is now Israel, little by little by waging terror war after war
against the Jews and forcing a land for peace deal upon the Jews.

As indicated in an earlier post, this article will address how much land really belongs to
the Jewish people; and in the end, a remnant of Jews will have all of what God
promised to them in the Abraham Covenant, not just a sliver of land; and the Arabs and
the nations of the world will be punished severely by God for the way they have treated
the Jewish people of Israel and around the world all of these years if they do not
repent. So it is declared in the scriptures by God through his prophets, so shall it be.

A land called 'Palestine' did not exist when God made a covenant with Abraham and
Abraham's descendants, the Jews, and it does not exist today. The land is called
Canaan, now called Israel. Abraham is the first to be called Hebrew; it is noted in
Genesis 14:13. There is no such thing as a land of Palestine.

There is much written about Abraham and his descendants, Isaac, Jacob and the
Jewish people as it relates to Israel, the land God gave them in Genesis chapter 12,
15,26 and 28 and I suggest you look it up and read about it yourself in the scriptures.
For the purpose of this article, I will include the relevant scriptures. Three times God, in
the scriptures, made the same covenant to Abraham's descendants the Jews, so there
can be no mistake.

In Genesis 12, it is declared by Moses" NOW the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee
out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that
I will shew thee": vs. 1 Abram obeyed the Lord, and went into the land of Canaan. vs. 5

God made the Covenant with Abraham, giving him the land of Canaan. "In the same
day the LORD made a covenant with Abraham, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this
land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river." Genesis 15:18.

The southern border of Canaan is the river of Egypt, with the northern border being the
River Euphrates.

The Lord appeared to Isaac, Abraham's son by Sarah, and who inherited the land
promise of God to Abraham, and said: "Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and
will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I
will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father"; Genesis 26:3

After Isaac, Isaac's son Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel by God: "And he
said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou
power with God and men, and hast prevailed," Genesis 32:28, inherited the land
covenant with Abraham as declared by God in Genesis Chapter 28: "I am the LORD God
of Abraham thy father, the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give
it, and to thy seed". vs. 13
After Moses delivered the Israelites out of Egypt into the promised land of Canaan, God
gave specific boundaries of Canaan land as declared in Numbers 34:1-2:
AND the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Command the children of Israel, and say
unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; this is the land that shall fall unto
you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof: 1-2

The Southern border of Canaan Land or Israel: Then your south quarter shall be from
the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the
outmost coast of the salt sea eastward: vs. 3 And your border shall turn from the south
to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from
the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon: vs.
4 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the
goings out of it shall be at the sea. vs. 5

The Northern border of Canaan Land or Israel: And this shall be your north border:
from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor: From mount Hor ye shallm
point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border
shall be to Zedad: And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall
be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border. Numbers 7-9

The Western border of Canaan Land or Israel: And as for the western border, ye shall
even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border. Numbers 34:6
The Eastern border of Canaan Land or Israel: And ye shall point out your east border
from Hazarenan to Shepham: And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on
the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the
sea of Chinereth eastward. And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out
of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
Numbers 34:10-12

The Lord further declares in Leviticus 25:23 that "The land shall not be sold for ever:
for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me."

A land for peace deal, and chopping up the land of Canaan or Israel that the Arabs and
nations of the world have done and are now trying to force upon the Jewish people
again with Judea and Samaria that they have renamed and dubbed the "West Bank" is
completely off limits and God will deal severely with all those involved in the cutting up
of His land that He promised to the Jews.

As for the war going on today with the Israelis and the terrorists Hamas who have
taken over Gaza, Joshua narrows it down and tells us that Gaza also belongs to Israel,
specifically the tribe of Judah.

This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.
Joshua 15:20 Ashdod with her towns and her villages, Gaza with her towns and her
villages, unto the river of Egypt, and the great sea, and the border thereof: Joshua
15:47.
