No — God has not changed His mind about the land He promised to Abraham, and He will not change it.
Les Feldick states plainly, 'You think God changed His mind? No, He hasn't changed His mind' (Clip 0). In Genesis 15:18 God declared the land already given — 'Unto thy seed have I given this land' — and Les teaches that this title deed was transacted and finalized in the past tense (Clip 1). The land belongs to Israel forever, and God will fulfill the Abrahamic covenant when Christ returns in the Millennial Kingdom (Clips 2, 4).
Genesis 15:18 — The verse Les cites as the actual title deed — God declares the land given to Abraham's seed, defining its boundaries.
Genesis 13:15 — God's promise that the land would be Abraham's and his seed's 'for ever.'
Romans 11:29 — The New Testament statement behind the question: God's gifts and calling are without repentance — He does not change His mind.
Exodus 6:8 — God confirms the land promise was sworn to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as a heritage.
God's promise of the land to Abraham is presented in Scripture as a permanent, unconditional gift. In Genesis 13:15 God tells Abram: 'For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.' The word 'for ever' fixes the duration of the grant. In Genesis 15:18, when God makes the covenant with Abram, the language is already past tense: '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.' The boundaries are plainly stated — the river of Egypt to the Euphrates. The same promise was reaffirmed to Isaac and to Jacob. In Genesis 28:4, the blessing is 'the blessing of Abraham... that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.' In Exodus 6:8 God says to Israel: 'And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.' And Romans 11:29 states God's unchanging character in this matter: 'For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.'
Les Feldick teaches that God has not changed His mind about the land He promised to Abraham. He answers the question directly: 'You think God changed His mind? No, He hasn't changed His mind' (Clip 0). The Abrahamic covenant is still valid and will be fulfilled — even though Israel rejected and crucified their Messiah, God only set them aside and blinded them, not out of His program, and He will come back to finish the covenant (Clip 0). Les explains that God formally deeded the land to Abraham: in Genesis 15 God 'transacted the title deed according to the rules of Hammurabi,' and the language 'Unto thy seed have I given' is past tense — 'It's done' (Clip 1). The deed covers the whole Middle East, from northern Lebanon to the Euphrates and over to the river of Egypt (Clips 1, 4). The land was given 'for ever' — time without end (Clip 2). Israel will not enjoy it all until the Millennial Kingdom when Christ returns (Clip 4). Until then, no world leader, denomination, or action by Israel can change what God has deeded (Clip 1). As Les puts it, 'God never goes back on His Word' (Clip 7).
Les teaches that the Abrahamic covenant was formalized as an actual property transaction. God deeded the land to Abram 'according to the Oriental custom' (Clip 3), and in Genesis 15 He 'transacted the title deed according to the rules of Hammurabi' (Clip 1). The language of Genesis 15:18 is decisive — God said 'Unto thy seed have I given this land' — past tense. 'It's done,' Les says (Clip 1).
Genesis 15:18 defines the grant as 'from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates.' Les expands on this, pointing to the tribes listed in the chapter and saying Israel will have 'everything from northern Lebanon out to the Euphrates River cutting across the Arabian Peninsula and all the way over to the river of Egypt.' He notes this is far more than just the land between the Jordan and the Mediterranean — 'this whole shebang' has been deeded to Israel (Clips 1, 4).
Les is clear that Israel does not yet enjoy the full extent of the promised land. 'They're not going to get it all now,' he says; rather, Israel will not enjoy this 'to the full until the Millennial Kingdom when Christ returns and Israel will finally get all the land that's been promised to them' (Clip 4). We do not know when that will be, except that it will be in the kingdom (Clip 1).
Les insists that no human action can void the deed. 'I don't care what the President of the United States says. I don't care what the large denominations may say. God's Word says that the whole Middle East has been deeded to the nation of Israel' (Clip 1). The land 'belongs to the Jew... and it's theirs forever' (Clip 2), because 'God never goes back on His Word' (Clip 7). Even Israel's rejection of their Messiah did not end the covenant — God set them aside and blinded them, but He 'hasn't taken them out of His program' and will come back to finish the Abrahamic covenant (Clip 0).
God Has Not Changed His Mind
Les directly answers the question: God has not changed His mind; the Abrahamic covenant is still valid and will be fulfilled, and God will return to finish it.
The Title Deed Is Past Tense
Les explains God already transacted the title deed for the whole Middle East to Israel in Genesis 15, using past tense — 'Unto thy seed have I given' — so the grant is already done.
The Land Is Israel's Forever
Les teaches the land God showed Abraham was given for 'forever,' meaning time without end, and that the land of Israel belongs to the Jew permanently.
Deeded According to Oriental Custom
Les points out that the promise was not vague — God legally deeded the land to Abram according to the Oriental custom of the day.
Boundaries and Millennial Fulfillment
Les identifies the full extent of the deeded land — from Lebanon to the Euphrates to the river of Egypt — and says Israel will enjoy it all when Christ returns in the Millennial Kingdom.
The Promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
Les stresses that the land promise was sworn to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and everything in Scripture rests on that promise held by the Sovereign God.
Israel's God-Given Geographical Area
Les notes that the covenant includes God providing Israel a specific piece of land — the very area that is the sore spot of the Middle East today.
God Never Goes Back on His Word
Les teaches that the land between the Mediterranean and the Jordan was given to Israel 4,000 years ago and God never goes back on His Word.
Genesis 13:15: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
God's promise to Abraham that all the land before him would be his and his seed's forever.
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:
The formal covenant in which God declares the land already given to Abraham's seed, fixing its boundaries.
Genesis 28:4: And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
The blessing of Abraham passed to Jacob, specifically including the land of Canaan where Abraham was a stranger.
Exodus 6:8: And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.
God reassures Israel that the land was sworn to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as an everlasting heritage.
Romans 11:29: For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
The New Testament foundation for the permanence of God's calling — He does not change His mind about Israel and the land.
No. Les Feldick answers directly: 'You think God changed His mind? No, He hasn't changed His mind.' God told Abraham, 'Unto thy seed have I given this land' (Genesis 15:18) — a completed gift — and Romans 11:29 confirms that God's gifts and calling are without repentance.
Les says Israel will not enjoy the full extent of the promised land until the Millennial Kingdom when Christ returns. Until then, Israel will not get it all at once, but the deed is already done (Clips 1, 4).
Genesis 15:18 says 'from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates.' Les adds that this includes everything from northern Lebanon to the Euphrates across the Arabian Peninsula — the whole Middle East has been deeded to Israel (Clip 4).
No. Les says: 'I don't care what the President of the United States says... God's Word says that the whole Middle East has been deeded to the nation of Israel.' God never goes back on His Word (Clip 7), and the land is Israel's forever (Clip 2).
