What About Greater Israel? Is It God's Promise To Israel Only Or To Arabs too?
Question: There will never be that so-called greater Israel. It's an illusion from the false interpretation of prophecy. God promised those lands to Abraham but never to Jacob, and Abraham is the father of many nations including Isaac and Jacob. So the other descendants of Abraham have to be established as well, for example; Jordan and most of those Gulf states, the Ishmaelites in parts of Egypt etc. When the Israelites were entering the Promised Land, He asked them to respect the borders notably of Edom (today Jordan) because He placed them there. Although Israel's land is small, they are the Messiah nation and will be the governing nation all over the world when Christ returns. What is your take on it?
Answer: Greetings to you in Jesus wonderful name!
The land was promised not to Ishmael, but to Abraham through Isaac through whom again Jacob became the nation of Israel. The promise of this land from Nile to Euphrates, is through the promised Christ who made this covenant with God (Gen 15:18). In fact Ishmael persecuted this son of promise until today (Gal 4:28-31). Arabs were the sons of Ishmael, who were the sons of the flesh through the Egyptian bondwoman Hagar. Greater Israel might be something that Antichrist will try to fulfill for Israel at least to keep them pacified temporarily, but then after failing or succeeding partially and temporarily, Christ will come and establish it fully at the time of His Millennial rule and reign for the Glory of God the Father!!! God bless. Hallelujah!
Much Blessings....
