Yes — the Bible says the land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people, the seed of Abraham.
God covenanted with Abram in Genesis 15:18, saying, "Unto thy seed have I given this land." Ezekiel 37:13-14 also shows God promising to bring Israel up out of their dispersion and place them "in your own land." Les Feldick therefore teaches that Scripture is plain: the land belongs to the Jews, and no political process can change that divine grant.
Genesis 15:18 — This is the verse Les cites to show God deeded the land to Abram's descendants.
Ezekiel 37:13-14 — God's promise to bring Israel into "their own land" shows the land belongs to Israel.
In Genesis 15:18, God made a covenant with Abram and told him, "Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates." The wording "have I given" presents the land grant as already accomplished in God's sight. In Ezekiel 37:13-14, God addresses Israel as "O my people" and promises to bring them up out of their graves and place them "in your own land." These verses identify the Lord as the one who designates the land, and they identify the recipients as Abraham's seed and the people of Israel.
Les Feldick is unequivocal: the Bible says the land of Palestine belongs to the Jews. He points to God's promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and says "all of Scripture declares it as their land." In Genesis 15, Les says God actually transacted the title deed to the land with Abram under the Oriental customs of the day, citing Genesis 15:18 where God says "Unto thy seed have I given this land."
Scripture records God's covenant with Abram in Genesis 15:18, promising the land from the river of Egypt to the Euphrates to his seed. Les Feldick highlights that this was a legal transaction — "God actually deed that land promised to the man Abram, deed it according to the Oriental custom." He also notes that the ancients referred to the land between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River as the Divine Land.
Les says he can sympathize and empathize with Palestinians, who have been there for hundreds of years and call it home. But he insists the Scripture is plain about whose land it is: "the land of Palestine? It's the Jews." He calls God's word "sovereign, it's set in concrete," and says the nations of the world will never change what God has deeded.
Les teaches that Israel has not yet received all that God deeded to them. He says they will occupy it in the kingdom, though the timing is not known. In the meantime, he says, they are getting closer and closer to that fulfillment.
Why Abram Failed in Egypt & God Restored Him | Genesis 12-14
Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me, I'll take the left, and I'll go to the..." Or, you take the left and I'll go to the right. Or, if you go right, I'll go left, but let's go separate ways. Now, verse 10, the monkey falls on Lot's back, doesn't it? Abram says, "...it's up to you." Now, remember, where has Lot been? He'd been to Egypt. And he sees all the things of a material Egypt. And so, "..
God's Chosen Land Between Mediterranean and Jordan
Les places the land promise within God's covenant promises to Israel made in Genesis 12, identifying the land between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River as the area God designated.
Ezekiel 37: The Land Is Israel's Own
Les directly answers the question by declaring that the land of Palestine belongs to the Jews, citing Ezekiel 37:13-14 where God says He will place Israel in their own land.
The Abrahamic Covenant Includes a Land Promise
Les shows that the land promise is part of the Abrahamic covenant and that God deeded the land to Abram according to the legal custom of the day.
Genesis 15:18: The Title Deed
Les quotes Genesis 15:18 — "Unto thy seed have I given this land" — and says the title deed is already transacted, making the whole Middle East Israel's.
God's Grant Is Sovereign and Unchangeable
Les says even though Israel does not yet have all the deeded land, God's grant is sovereign and set in concrete, and no nation can change it.
The Palestinian Covenant Guarantees the Land
Les explains that the land promise is still in force and that the land of Canaan will go back to Israel despite political opposition.
Israel's History Fulfills the Land Promise
Les shows the outworking of the land promise: Israel was placed in the land as God began fulfilling the covenant made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Genesis 15:18: In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
This verse is the heart of Les's teaching that God legally deeded the land to Abraham's descendants.
Ezekiel 37:13: And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
God identifies the dispersed people as His people and promises to bring them up from their graves, meaning their dispersion.
Ezekiel 37:14: And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
God explicitly says He will place Israel "in your own land," showing the land belongs to them.
Yes. God made a covenant with Abram and said "Unto thy seed have I given this land" (Genesis 15:18), and Ezekiel 37:13-14 says God will place Israel in their own land.
Les says Scripture is plain that the land belongs to the Jews, but he also empathizes with Palestinians who call it home. Still, he insists God's word is sovereign and set in concrete.
Les says Israel will occupy the full deeded land in the kingdom, but the timing is not revealed. He says they are getting closer and closer to that fulfillment.
