In short, I am of the strong opinion that Israel rightfully owns the land regardless of bible beliefs. They immigrated into ottoman Palestine and then continued to immigrate under British Palestine until the UN separated Palestine into two states because Britain pulled out of Palestine and there was supposed to be two states, one for Israel and one for Palestine. The Jews accepted the UN decision but the Palestinians and Arabs rejected it and refused to recognize Isreali nationhood..
All Arab nations surrounding Israel attacked and lost and ever since the Arab nations have continued to refuse to recognize Israel as a legitimate state which causes more war in 67 and 73 that causes Palestinians to loose even more land.
Since America came into it, there has been several peace deals were the PLO and they have been made to recognize the Israeli nation in return for there own state and established govt.
Israel has generally been willing to withdraw from occupied territories on the ashorance that they will have peace and security. The problem is that there is no peace and security. The peace talks are generally derailed by Arab groups that wont even recognize the Israeli nation, so there committing terrorist acts against Israel and there occupied territories to derail talks.
To me it is the Jews that are fighting for their homeland not the Palestinians. From the beginning, this was about the Arab nations recognizing the land given to Israel by the UN in 47. The Arabs wouldnt recognize the Jews and the Jew kept becoming more prominent in the whole area until they dominated it. Know the tide has turned and it is the Palestinians that want their own state. The fact is that Israel is willing to give them that if they can offer peace and security in return but that is impossible for the Arabs at the moment.
Also realize that some of the land that they are being asked to back out of is stronghold area that was used by Syria to attack Jewish settlements. There is no way in the world the Jews will give up the golden heights occupied territories that they won of Syria in the 67 war with out positive assurances of peace and security for Israel and that is impossible because most Arab nations still dont recognize Israel as a Nation and neither do Palestinian resistance groups. The PLO camouflages themselves to get what they can out of the Americans but as soon as the Iraq war started and the PLO saw a chance of being liberated and they sided with sadam to stire the Arabs up against the USA and Isreal..
Now that I have shared my political view of Israelis innocence in what is happening there I will show scripture to show why I also believe that God is behind Israel return.
I will show a couple of scriptures that say god will bring the Jews back into Israel in the end times as an ensign. I will also show you were Paul says that Israel is only blinded in part but in the end they will all be saved.
Romans 11
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes
Isaiah 11
10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
This is talking about an ensign of god delivering Israel back to there homeland again the second time after the root of Jessie which was Jesus (Jessie is Davids father and that is the root of Jesus line) so this couldnt have been referring to the Babylonian captivity.
Ephraim is a tribe of Israel that was a warlike tribe on the borders of Judea. This is saying that the problems between Ephraim (Israel) and Judah will cease and they will work as one.
Philistines are the Palestinians and Syrians and the west is Britain and America. The east is Russia and the Arab states.
Isreal gained the land back on the back of the Palastinians while working with the west.
Edom & Moab are Jordan today.
Ammon was the national god of Egypt so this is referring to Egypt being persuaded to cross over from eastern thinking to western thinking because of Isreal.
Long again but I thaught this was very interesting
