Les Feldick Bible Study

Does Israel have a right to exist in the land where she is?

Yes. The land is repeatedly depicted in Scripture as the land God gave to the nation of Israel. The promises made to that nation remain valid because the Jewish people have retained their national identity. Therefore, the current debate over Israel's right to be where she is has no basis; God has given it to them.

Les explains that the Bible over and over depicts the land as the land God gave to the nation of Israel. He says the nations of the world are debating whether Israel has a right to exist or a right to be where she is, but there is no room for debate because God has given it to them. He ties this to the promises God gave to that nation in Genesis 12 and on up through the Old Testament, which are still valid because the Jew is still a Jew and has not lost his national identification. He also notes that many Jews are living in Israel and returning there, while others remain scattered among the nations.
