Why would Israel be expected to disappear without God's promise?
Without the Creator's promise that the race and nation of Israel shall not pass until all things are fulfilled, Israel would be expected to disappear because Middle Eastern nations and the world oppose them, and they intermarry at an alarming rate above 52%, threatening their identity.
Les teaches that the Greek word geneo means the race, the breed of the nation of Israel. The promise from the Creator Himself is that this race, breed, and nation shall not pass until all things be fulfilled. If it were not for that promise, there would be reason to think the nation of Israel would yet disappear. All the nations of the Middle East are against them, the world is turning against them, and they are intermarrying at an alarming rate of over 52%, so it would not take long for them to lose their identity. This is another sign that we are close to the end, because in spite of everything going against this little nation of Israel, they are not going to disappear until everything is fulfilled. Les also comes back to Genesis chapter 12, where God promised Abraham a nation of people that would bring about the Redeemer, the King, the nation, their geographical area, and through it all God's purposes would be fulfilled. Whenever Les teaches about Abraham, he points out that all things concerning Abraham and his earthly people, the nation of Israel, are always earthly.
