Glorifying the Triune God by creatively declaring the relevancy and practicality of His timeless Word.
Since the 1967 six day war Jewish families have lived in the West Bank land of their forefathers which they know as Judea and Samaria. So a claim that Jewish settlements in Biblical lands are illegitimate can only be described as ignorant at best. Yet, it is a claim being made by the United States of America. In the pursuit of Middle East peace, it’s a statement that U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been making as she traveled among Arab leaders. She said the U.S. would like nothing better than to see Jewish communities stopped permanently on lands that has belonged to the Jewish people for thousands of years. It was Joshua who led the Jewish people into this disputed land some 3500 years ago. According to the Book of Joshua, God promised to established a nation on land which He promised to provide. Israel is that nation and the West Bank is the land.
While the Jewish people occupied this land 3500 years ago, they returned to it primarily for military reason. To prevent further conflicts with the nations which tried to wipe them out in the 1967 war, they set up a buffer zone between Israel and those nations. The prophet Ezekiel (Ezekiel 34) said repeatedly that God promised to find the Jewish people wherever they were scattered around the world and return them to the land of their forefathers in the last days. For more than 100 years now, He has been doing just that. Jews have been returning to their homeland from all over the world. Many of them believing their return to be prophetic, having been promised by God through Jewish prophets of old.
United States is wrong both historically and prophetically in its claims that the Jewish communities of Judea and Samaria are illegitimate. They have no historic or prophetic basis for calling for the discontinuation of current and future expansion of Israeli communities, especially since the fulfillment of God’s promise has been clearly evident to the world for the last sixty years.
