- GOD’S PROMISED THE CANAANITE LAND TO THE JEWS:
- THIS TIME, THE REVOLUTION WILL BE TELEVISED.
- God promises to make Abram the father of a great nation and give Abram’s descendants that land. God separates Abram from his father’s house, giving him a new identity no longer based on his family or geography. God promised Abram three things—land, offspring, and blessing. It’s no overstatement to say that these promises set the stage for the rest of the biblical story. Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:” Genesis 15:18.
- When the children of Israel entered the Promised Land, they destroyed the Canaanites as ordered by the Lord. When they re-take their Promised Land, most inhabitants will leave, voluntarily or not. Has God instructed Israel to kill those who haven’t left? We’ll see.
- King David’s kingdom expanded to both sides of the Jordan River due to his defeat of enemy nations; countries such as Moab, Edom, and Ammon became part of Israel’s lands. According to the Bible, King David reigned over a large territory, and his son Solomon over an even larger one.
- DAVID’S KINGDOM.
- SOLMON’S KINGDOM WAS 3/4TH OF THE PROMISED LAND.
- UPON SOLOMON’S DEATH, HIS KINGDOM WAS SPLIT INTO ISRAEL AND JUDAH. (MINUS SOME LAND).
- IN 1949, BACK TO PART OF THE PROMISED LAND.

- Today, when the Israelites re-claim the Cannite boundaries promised by God, what happens to the people living there now? God will decide.
- THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE:
- PALESTINE TODAY:
- The Ottoman Empire controlled the region for about 400 years before its defeat, along with Germany, in World War I. Britain was given control of Palestine by the League of Nations in 1920 under an order called the British Mandate.
- In 1917, the British government signaled its support for establishing a Jewish state in Israel with the Balfour Declaration.
- Jewish migration from eastern and central Europe surged from 1922 to 1947 as Jews fled persecution and the destruction of their communities during the interwar period and World War II. By the end of the Holocaust, more than 6 million European Jews had been murdered, and many survivors were left stateless.
- In 1947, the U.N. voted to divide Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states and make Jerusalem an international city. The Arabs refused a two-state solution.
- As the number of Jewish immigrants increased, many Palestinians were displaced. They began pushing back, and violence resulted. The Gaza Strip is the home to about 2 million Palestinians, many of them displaced after leaving or being driven from Israel during the War of Independence. The West Bank: Smaller than Delaware, the West Bank is east of Israel. About 3 million Palestinians live there, most of them Muslim Arabs. East Jerusalem: Jerusalem itself is a divided, disputed city. It was cut in two after the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. Israel controlled the western portion, and Jordan managed the east. Israel captured the entire city in the 1967 Six-Day War.

They used mass boycotts, civil disobedience, and attacks on Israelis. Hamas is the most prominent Palestinian militant group. It was founded in 1987 during the first Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation of Gaza and the West Bank and has controlled Gaza since winning elections in 2006, then wresting military control from another leadership group in 2007.
