61. JMK, NYC ,what a fool! He did live, he still lives
DANNY ,   America   (09.17.08)
and yet still today proves he was and is God. Sorry for your foolish stupid delusion cause it is getting you outer darkness. "But men loved darkness more than light, so they refuse to come into the light least they be reproved..."
62. Open a Bible very good idea
Jan ,   N.Z.   (09.17.08)
Everyone including politicians need to read what it says in Psalm 83: 1 - 5, and Ezekiel 36: 23 For I will take you from the Nations, gather you from all the lands, and bring you to your OWN LAND. G-D calls this Land HIS Land, according to the covenant he made with Abraham, they say we don't learn from History, Genesis 12: 1 - 3 also says I will Bless those who Bless you, and Curse those who CURSE you. Wake up to what is happening, The Land cannot be divided!!!!!!!
63. GREATER ISRAEL
Israel HaKohen ,   Brooklyn, New York   (09.17.08)
The Jews have eluded the natural course of history time and time again throughout the ages. Tiny Israel has been surrounded by 100's of millions of hostile Muslins for over 60 years. If this doesn't prove that Heaven is watching and protecting the Jews than what does? With or without Omrit's despicable behavior the Jews will inherit the entire land of Israel as G-d has promised. The next leader of Israel will be the Messiah son of David!!
64. RE: #20 Avi -If we cared what the world thought
Israel HaKohen ,   Brooklyn, New York   (09.17.08)
Avi, if we cared what the world thought we, the Jews wouldn't be here today. Isaiah the Prophet said that the nations of the world are powerless like grasshoppers in G-d's eyes. The survival the Jews over history proves G-d is in Charge, not the puny nations of the world.
65. Rebbi Nachman said
Israel HaKohen ,   Brooklyn, New York   (09.17.08)
Rebbi Nachman said that the war of the Messiah would be a spiritual war. This is what is going on right now. The main thing is to hold on to G-d with all your might.
66. GOD gave a deed of this land to Israel
Leonard ,   LA USA   (09.17.08)
67. It doesn't take much to prove
Avi   (09.17.08)
that there was Jewish presence in Israel. The archeology of it is all over the place. One not even need to leave Jerusalem. Masada is another good example of Jewish history before one's very eyes. I don't know how some peple who posted here can ignore that. Not only is the documented in the Bible, but in academia outside the religious sphere.
68. #56 No contradiction
Talula ,   Israel   (09.17.08)
The fact that Jews have lived in Israel for literally thousands of years is one thing. The actual State of Israel was born 60 years ago. I don't have to teach you history. The State of Israel was was adopted unanimously by the UN Security Council and not God. The fact that thousands and thousands of Jews have died protecting Israel and also died in Israel due to terror attacks since 1948 is something else. It was agreed that we, the Jewish nation, have our own country - and we've been fighting for it ever since. The foundation for the recognised State of Israel was indeed set by UN security council Resolution 242 - not God. And if you still think otherwise, please get him to write a TB so I can ask him questions. Thanks!
69. Greater Israel will soon come
Ali ,   Bolton, England   (09.17.08)
I as a muslim believe in Greater Israel. But this is one that will belong to Hezbollah. God has promised in the Bible that men of God will create greater Israel. Now, these are surely men of the Party of God - Hezbollah. We think that Israeli military are not men of God. Even some Rabbis have condemned the soldiers. Therefore, I think God will give Israel and a lot more land to Hezbollah. Inshallah this will soon come true when Israeli regime collapses and whole Israeli project is doomed. Signs are there for all to see. Greater Israel is not dead. It is alive and belongs to Hezbollah. Hassan Nasrallah has started something wonderful. He is a true pioneer of 21st century. Both Holy Bible and Holy Quran speak of Greater Israel but God says only righteous will get it. Not oppressive people like Israel. They have too much sin on their hands. Repent and join Hezbollah now. Then you can all live in peace in the Greater Israel. Jews and Muslims will live side by sides in Greater Israel in a just and fair state controlled by Hezbollah. Watch and see it happen. Missiah is coming to help Hezbollah clean up the entire Middle East.
70. Cite Scripture Please
Andrew Baird ,   Waterbury, CT, USA   (09.17.08)
As a Bible-believing gentile Christian, I agree with you: The Land of Israel belongs unconditionally to the Jewish people, and is to be a Jewish state. I also believe that it is invincible. The King James Bible, in English, both Old and New Testaments, firmly defends the modern State of Israel. The restoration of literal, physical Land of Israel is heavily prophesied in the prophets, esp. Psalms, Isaiah, and Ezekiel, and very strongly in the New Testament in the Book of Revelation.
71. In order to devide the land..
daniel   (09.18.08)
both most claim the land. Only then will consessions be meaningful.
72. To Talula #68. Qualification is Necessary.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (09.18.08)
You say :”.. so I can ask him (i.e. YAHWEH, the Supreme Lord) questions.” Talula, you want to ask YAHWEH, the Supreme Lord, questions. Yes, it is possible -- it is not something impossible. The ONLY thing is you have to qualify yourself. Qualification IS necessary ; qualification IS required. SO, how does one becomes qualified ? What is it that is needed in order to become qualified ? The answer is VERY simple : you simply have to DESIRE to know YAHWEH, the Supreme Lord. This desire (to know YAHWEH) you HAVE to increase on a daily basis. When YAHWEH sees that you REALLY want to know Him -- He will make arrangements for you. Do NOT think that YAHWEH, the Supreme Lord, is powerless ; He is the MOST powerful. NO one is equal to Him ; NOR is there anyone above Him. Talula, keep one thing in mind, though : YAHWEH is NOT your servant, YAHWEH is NOT your peon. ON THE CONTRARY, you are supposed to be His servant.
73. I'm confused...
random observor ,   US   (09.18.08)
don't Jews follow the Torah and denounce Christianity? why would you reject the religion but quote from their scripture? Why must other religions/persons ackwoledge the Bible and you don't have aknowledge their claim to it in the Koran? Please explain....
74. To Ali #69. It is GIVEN To The
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (09.18.08)
You say :” God has promised in the Bible that men of God will create greater Israel.” Dear Ali, YAHWEH the Supreme Lord has given the Land of Israel to the Jewish People in 1360 B.Chr. -- as conveyed to the world by Moses the Law Giver. It is NOT promised (as you say) -- it is GIVEN to the Jewish People. The Arabs living in the West Bank are thus OCCUPIERS of the Land Of Israel. So, the Arabs living in the West Bank should move out. They should go to the Kingdom of Jordan, which was especially created for the Arabs of Palestine.
75. huda. I believe that when I turn on the light switch...
DANNY ,   America   (09.18.08)
the light will go on, But that belief isn't what makes the light go on. Same with praying to God. Just believing that your OK with God doesn't make you OK. All have fallen (even little old ladies) short and sinned against God, which puts us apart from God. Only what God calls faith, is faith that removes the separation between us. When you believe what God calls faith the veil (the inner veil to the holiest place As told by Moses starting with the tent and repeated in the temples) is lifted and you know God in the same fashion as Abraham, and all the prophets. Maybe the little old ladies you speak of are crying because they know they are left on the outside. Moses taught what God had shown him, that it is only through blood that there is forgiveness of sin and thus right relationship with God.
76. Yes I founded the Israel and Jews get killed because...
God ,   everywhere   (09.19.08)
I don't get to be your leader. Your enemy give you big unsolvable problems because you will not turn to me with your whole heart and repent (change your mind about sin and see the divisions it causes between us) I have not forgotten you nor forsaken you, and soon I will give you a new heart and a new mind and all Israel will seek me and worship me as the King of the earth, creator of all things. I will walk among you, But this will be like birth pains! Great a fearful happenings will befall you, but what Father doesn't reprove his children. As for your enemies I am drawing them like a fish on a hook to serve my purposes and will make them pay mightily for their harming you my beloved, my chosen. Just look at Egypt forever cursed, what I swear I do to those who lay a hand to hurt my chosen.
77. Ali and hezbullashi,t Like the article says Open a Bible...
DANNY   (09.19.08)
You are saying things that are not in the Bible. You are just repeating lies told to you by those who wish to rule over you and enslave you. Read the Bible rather than just re-tell someone else's lies. God has given the land to the decedents of Isaac the son of promise. Gen 17:21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. So the land is given to Israel because they are chosen and God will build the greater Israel using them as living stones. A heavenly city not built with humans hands will come down in the same land called Israel. The New Jerusalem as it is called will have nothing to do with the works of any man because God Himself is bringing it all to pass. So these fools you call the Army of God will not be doing any good work for the real God of the Bible, Which you know nothing about because you believe only fables and lies told second hand and not what the Bible says. Yes Messiah will come, but not as a prophet as your fools teach you but as God and his anger will not be directed towards his elect the decedents of Isaac, but to those who try to remove them from the land He swore to give them. Read the Bible then think about what lies your being told about what the Bible says! Only a fool could make a statement so bold based on no facts or Biblical text
78. God's expectations
r owens ,   Randleman, NC, USA   (09.20.08)
I supported President Bush until he began to push giving back Israel's land for a Palestinian nation. God gave Israel the land and also told Christians to support and protect the Jews. As an American Christian, I began to worry from that point about God's punishment to America for this misstep. Look at what America has suffered since then: monster hurricanes and tornados, huge fires, mixed results in Iraq and Afghanistan, financial collapse, continuing loss of our manufacturing sector just to mention a few. We are responsible to God for 1.5 million abortion deaths a year in our country. I tremble at the prospect of God's wrath. Please pray for America who supports you throughout the generations. Israel can give the people of America back that favor. Peace and God Bless you all.
79. ha eretz
David ,   Quail Valley USA   (09.23.08)
Totally concur with the premise, but as I read the Bible I read that all the inhabitants of Cannan were not destroyed, thus Israel has never aquired the total land of promise. With that said; i agree the land would stretch from the Euphrates river, encompass southern Turkey and northernSinai and all of Jordan. The reality is that will never happen until Messiah the Lord comes.
