Over the last 8-10 years I have listened to Steve quite a bit and even exchanged an email or two. In my opinion this is an EXCELLENT historical summary of the nation of Israel. Steve took 3500 years of history and managed to get it into a one hour lecture that the average person can easily follow. This is a great introduction to the student who wants to study the history of Israel. My only suggestion is I would love for Steve to pin a comment with some recommended books and authors for further study.
Thanks for the history lesson. I would have never known this, otherwise. It does change my perspective and impulsive response to the current situation.

@@SteveGreggVideosIt’s slowly changing. Even after being persuaded by the scriptures and Steven Sizer; it took me sometime to really say it was the truth. Honestly, it’s a punch to the gut for those of us who were raised in Dispensational churches.
That is a very good observation. Paul even compares Hagai and Ishmael to the seed of the flesh/ representing Israel and he compares Sarai and Isaac to the seed of promise representing believers . It’s a great study.
Would Israel be less of a military power and more accommodating towards the Palestinians today if the church had never widely accepted dispensationalist teaching?
More to the point, the strong support (both militarial and from the pulpit) of the United States has literally empowered their rise to power Being held in thrall by Dispensationalism has cost the United States trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of dollars 😕
If modern day Israel isn’t significant in Bible prophecy, why would Jesus’s second coming be in Jerusalem from where he descended back to Heaven in Acts Chapter 1?
God's second coming has nothing to do with a millennium kingdom but God's wrath His judgment and the establishment of a new heaven and new earth. If GOD entry during His second coming is at Jerusalem, Glory to Him. Amen 🙏🏻
@@mauricerobertson1944 Obviously you don’t believe what you read in the Bible. Also, it’s paramount that Jesus will establish his 1,000-year Kingdom Reign on Earth. So many Old Testament verses spoke of that.
Hatfields vs the McCoys is a good example of that whole situation.. It's too bad there are so many blinded relatives of either side all across this whole world. Nothing as hatefully ignorant as this ever ends well it seems.. Keep praying!
Here is my main issue with the darby doctrine : the Church is seen as an after thought that God is doing to pass time between that time gap that was never mentioned in Daniel's 9v25/27. Israel as a nation was for a time, for the savior to come. He came, the jews were the founders of the Church, all 12 apostles are jewish, the messiah is jewish. The jews are more than welcome in the Church. However, they cannot ask christians for special treatment. Israel is a nation like any other nation.
A very good listen Steve thanks for the exposition. As someone who has studied this over the last few of years but for totally different reasons I have to say I pretty much concur with your take here and the historical analysis. What I would say is that there is a deeper angle not really explored and that Zionism comea from the same people that gave us Communism. Both ideologies have their roots in the secret societies and Luciferianism and emerged towards the end of the 18th century out into the open. Historically they go back much further through Freemasonry and the Rosicrucians to the mystery schools who all have roots in Judaic mysticism and the Babylonians who gave us the money magick system. The modern day connection is obviously Rothschild prominent through all this since Weishaupt (a Jew and a Jesuit) created the Illuminati. This group were behind the French and Irish revolutions and the later Young movement revolutions of the 1840's in Europe. The failure of those whose target was Christianity and the European monarchies was the reason they developed ideologies with the means to destroy society from within - hence Communism and the like the idea of attack from within society and Zionism which would attack from without. There is no doubt now of the stranglehold Zionism has on the western mindset as well as the destruction Communist thinking has wrought and the fact that everyone has to tiptoe around the topic of Zionism wary that they should invoke attack by the ADL. Woodrow Wilson was already controlled by these people and you reference like Brandeis and Weitzmann who were similar to Balfour and Lloyd George prominent Zionists here in the UK. That is a dark strand of history and I think has links right back to the Pharisees and the Babylonians. Thanks for the links will look up Alison Weir and her studies.
Mark 11:12-20 King James Version 12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. 15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves; 16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. 17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. 18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine. 19 And when even was come, he went out of the city. 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
Rom 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. Rom 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Rom 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. Rom 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; Rom 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. Rom 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.
@@SemperReformanda17 I think they speak for themselves. My point in posting them is to remind replacement theology adherents, that God will NEVER abandon the Jews that believe in Jesus and will fulfill all the promises He made to them.
@@ricoyochananGod won''t abandon any believing Jew, that's true, but He has already abandoned the Jews as a nation. That happened when Christ came and they rejected Him. Stop with the Jew/Israel worship. Find out what the new covenant is - Jeremiah 31:31-34; Hebrews 8:6-13
Watch the whole series from Steve. A born again believer in Jesus Christ will want the whole truth. Also dispensational belief does not agree with the bible.
St. Luke 17:20 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, St. Luke 17:21 nor will people say, ’Here it is,’ or ’There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst." The Kingdom of God in the end time will be visible, read Isaiah 61.
It is not important what we think but what God think. God doesn't want us to rely on our own understanding but on His world, and His word clearly said we must depend on the Holy Spirit to reveal the prophecy.
The Acts 1:6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" The Acts 1:7 He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.
70ad was the end of them most being wiped out being Judah dont forget the 10 tribes were alredy scattered eons ago they as a curse would forget Yawahs sabbaths and who they were as a nation but Yawah would for the sake of Jacob/Israel would prosper them, them being eventually the Europeans oddly these same nations would become the Christian nations and blessed beyond beleif. Sooo please tell me these jews claiming to be what then is their DNA marker to proove this claim
Great talk, Steve! You are clearly adopting a neutral position in this conflict. Indeed, it seems dificult to take the side of righteousness with all the confusion. Some details should be mentioned: the emergence of Islam is really fuzzy; the language of the Arabs may have been what Hebrew sounded like; the peaceful living together depended on the paying of extra taxes; terrorism was already used by the zealots and possibly other nations' guerilla fighters; Islam will not allow an Islamized land to go infidel. This is an ideological/spiritual war. If nothing else, the Jews do constitute a whitness.
There are two covenant, the old covenant with Israel nation as descendants of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. In that covenant God promised the land of Israel as their inheritance as long as the earth exist. There is the new covenant sealed by the blood of Jesus Christ. It is spiritual, the promise is not a land but abunddance in truth, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit and will ultimately end up in the new Jerusalem not the Israeli's Jerusalem. Israel will not exist as a nation in the new Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 31:35 This is what the LORD says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar - the LORD Almighty is his name: Jeremiah 31:36 "Only if these decrees vanish from my sight," declares the LORD, "will Israel ever cease being a nation before me." Jeremiah 31:37 This is what the LORD says: "Only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below be searched out will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done," declares the LORD.
You say you are not sure where they find this time in the bible that they(the jews) should have their promisedland.... well look from the back and ask yourself WHY is The Lord fighting against these nations? Zech 14-->3Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. It tells us in scripture EXACTLY what these nations The Lord is fighting against are trying to do.... divide the promisedland for gain-->Daniel 11:39 KJV - Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
@@lakevacm Paul clearly is showing us what is going to happen to these blinded jews--> Romans 11:1 KJV - I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
@@lakevacm If you simply read the testimony you will see there were more than one promise made to the Jewish people in the Holy Covenant-->Genesis 26:3 KJV - Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
those verses you mention have ALREADY been fullfilled in the old testiment years before christ. WHERE in the NEW testiment do you find a regathered nation of israel??
The Bible is only one, not two. The Holy Spirit is the implied author of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. The Acts 1:6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" The Acts 1:7 He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. The Acts 1:11 "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven." St. Luke 13:34 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. St. Luke 13:35 Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ’Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’ " Zechariah 12:10 "And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son. Isaiah 65:25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, and dust will be the serpent’s food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain," says the LORD. Etc etc

The root of disasters: When Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed as told by Jesus Christ, and the Jews were scattered to all nations because they rejected their Messiah, the land was left by its owner. That was the time when the spirit of Islam gives Arab theological basis to claim the land and Jerusalem, and that is the root of present disasters in the world. The Abraham Accord is the acceptable way for a peaceful solution temporarily ie: *The world must acknowledge Jerusalem the eternal capital of Israel. *.Israel must have right to worship in the Temple Mount. *.Palestine must have right to live in the land peacefully but not to claim ownership. But like it or not, finally: Jesus Christ is the only answer, He will come back again in Jerusalem to be King of Peace on earth. The Jews not Arabs not Islam not Christians will welcome Him. Until then there will be no permanent peace in Jerusalem and the world. Arab and the Jews need to believe in Jesus Christ Messiah of Israel Savior of the world Son of God who died for the sins of the world and raised from the dead. He will come to save all believers, Arabs and Jews.

You spend way to much time trying to be nice. That woman called you a liar. I wouldn't make any excuses for my beliefs. Just speak the facts. You will never convince people like that woman. She could have her own beliefs but has chosen to be a mockingbird for the dark side.
Real fact: Israel is a nation since 1948. God is true in saying: Jeremiah 31:35 This is what the LORD says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar - the LORD Almighty is his name: Jeremiah 31:36 "Only if these decrees vanish from my sight," declares the LORD, "will Israel ever cease being a nation before me." Jeremiah 31:37 This is what the LORD says: "Only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below be searched out will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done," declares the LORD.

@@kimmykimko Israel is descendants of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, period. There is blessings and curses clause in their covenant with God (Deut 28) but God is faithful, Israel nation will be saved on the end time after tribulation.
The new covenant doesn't cancel the promise of God to Abraham about the land of Israel which is irrevocable. No verse in the Bible which cancel the promise.
You talk about text and context and then interpretation. You may have studied for a long time but Wisdom certainly has not entered into this “interpretation”. There never was a “state” of Palestine…It remained a very desolate area for all the time various and sundry peoples lived there. The so-called Palestinians are really Jordanians… But no one in the Arab world wants to take them in including the Jordanians. Egypt does not want Gaza because of all the problems it would present.The Arab world and all its landmass and riches could easily assimilate these misnamed Palestinians. Victimhood will always be useful to continue anyone’s cause ,whatever the cause.The original plan had a two-state solution which was rejected by the many Arab Organizations and Arab countries.The actual land the Arabs were supposed to have was the best of all existing towns and land. The Jews were given possession of all the least favorable areas. Again… This plan was rejected. Bottom line…God will sift through what “Man”has muddled up magnificently. This family feud will go on until Christ’s return.
Forgive the length, but I know you apprec iat scripture. Ezekiel 16:8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine. Ezekiel 16:48-59 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters. 51 Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done. 59 For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in bre Isaiah 1:21 How the faithful city has become a harlot! It was full of justice; Righteousness lodged in it, But now murderers. Isaiah 1:9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah. Isaiah 8:14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Rom 9: 27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: Rev. 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Jer.:3131 “The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. 32 It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them, ” declares the LORD. 33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the LORD. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. Jeremiah 19:4-5 4 "Because they have forsaken Me and made this an alien place, because they have burned incense in it to other gods whom neither they, their fathers, nor the kings of Judah have known, and have filled this place with the blood of the innocents 5 (they have also built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I did not command or speak, nor did it come into My mind), Acts 3:14 But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15 and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. Acts 7: 51 "You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you. 52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute?

Steve you are wrong in a few points here, disappointed in some of your assessments. No America did not give the Israelis weapons the British wouldn't give them weapons and America would give them weapons, the Jews went to Czechoslovakia and purchased weapons, that was the only country that would supply them with any military equipment.
@@tedbastwock3810 I think they would be just fine, a whole lot of intelligent business people over there. As well as multiple Arab countriy leaders say without Isreal every shia would be fighting every sunni and the middle east would be utter chaos......BTW we only give Isreal 5B in aid and mainly military.
A Christian should renounce his own convictions about this Israel unfaithful worldly state, will only then be able to remain fully committed to Jesus Christ whom the Jews still reject. And do not mix the worldly views about nationalism with Christianity. The Lord made us the light of the world and without understanding the radical exclusive call of Jesus toward those who are ready to take up their cross denying themselves, they will be live a mixt life without taste without light. This is a rare sane teaching in this days. One can understand why the Christians are warned so many times about the deceitful teachings in the last days
You're right! Those so called Christians that believe that the Jews are saved just by the fact that they're Jews aren't reading the truth of God in the scriptures.. in the contrary, saying and believing that they're God's chosen people even though they rejected Christ Jesus have the spirit of antichrist... It's an eternal danger in which they're caught up. Read 1 John!! The 4 gospels etc etc.its all over the Bible.
Enthusiastically quoting 'frothing at the mouth' Jew-haters who feign impartiality (as you do, Steve) to cite Israel's wrongs does not prove your case.
The problem of the speaker is he didn't ask the Holy Spirit but rely on his own understanding., violating the command of Jesus Christ as revealed by the Holy Spirit: 2 Peter 1:20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 2 Peter 1:21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
The root of disasters: When Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed as told by Jesus Christ, and the Jews were scattered to all nations because they rejected their Messiah, the land was left by its owner.

Woodrow Wilson was already controlled by these people and you reference like Brandeis and Weitzmann who were similar to Balfour and Lloyd George prominent Zionists here in the UK.
That is a dark strand of history and I think has links right back to the Pharisees and the Babylonians.

Mark 11:12-20
King James Version
12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves;

Steve, have you done any research into British Israelism, and how it may’ve influenced all of this?
Moses Hess, 1812 - 1875, started labor Zionism, an early communist movement in Germany. He had disagreements though with Marx and Engels.
Rom 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Rom 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew.

Rom 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.
Care to expound on those Scripture verses any?
@@SemperReformanda17 I think they speak for themselves. My point in posting them is to remind replacement theology adherents, that God will NEVER abandon the Jews that believe in Jesus and will fulfill all the promises He made to them.
@@ricoyochananGod won''t abandon any believing Jew, that's true, but He has already abandoned the Jews as a nation. That happened when Christ came and they rejected Him. Stop with the Jew/Israel worship. Find out what the new covenant is - Jeremiah 31:31-34; Hebrews 8:6-13

The Kingdom of God in the end time will be visible, read Isaiah 61.

Maybe the real question to ask is: What Is Israel To Make Of The Church?
It is not important what we think but what God think.
God doesn't want us to rely on our own understanding but on His world, and His word clearly said we must depend on the Holy Spirit to reveal the prophecy.
The Acts 1:6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"
The Acts 1:7 He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.

Sooo please tell me these jews claiming to be what then is their DNA marker to proove this claim
Great talk, Steve! You are clearly adopting a neutral position in this conflict. Indeed, it seems dificult to take the side of righteousness with all the confusion. Some details should be mentioned: the emergence of Islam is really fuzzy; the language of the Arabs may have been what Hebrew sounded like; the peaceful living together depended on the paying of extra taxes; terrorism was already used by the zealots and possibly other nations' guerilla fighters; Islam will not allow an Islamized land to go infidel. This is an ideological/spiritual war. If nothing else, the Jews do constitute a whitness.
There are two covenant, the old covenant with Israel nation as descendants of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. In that covenant God promised the land of Israel as their inheritance as long as the earth exist.
There is the new covenant sealed by the blood of Jesus Christ. It is spiritual, the promise is not a land but abunddance in truth, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit and will ultimately end up in the new Jerusalem not the Israeli's Jerusalem. Israel will not exist as a nation in the new Jerusalem.

Jeremiah 31:37 This is what the LORD says: "Only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below be searched out will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done," declares the LORD.
You say you are not sure where they find this time in the bible that they(the jews) should have their promisedland.... well look from the back and ask yourself WHY is The Lord fighting against these nations? Zech 14-->3Then shall the
LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
It tells us in scripture EXACTLY what these nations The Lord is fighting against are trying to do.... divide the promisedland for gain-->Daniel 11:39 KJV - Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.

The Bible is only one, not two. The Holy Spirit is the implied author of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.
The Acts 1:6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"

The root of disasters:
When Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed as told by Jesus Christ, and the Jews were scattered to all nations because they rejected their Messiah, the land was left by its owner. That was the time when the spirit of Islam gives Arab theological basis to claim the land and Jerusalem, and that is the root of present disasters in the world.
The Abraham Accord is the acceptable way for a peaceful solution temporarily ie:
*The world must acknowledge Jerusalem the eternal capital of Israel.
*.Israel must have right to worship in the Temple Mount.
*.Palestine must have right to live in the land peacefully but not to claim ownership.
But like it or not, finally:
Jesus Christ is the only answer, He will come back again in Jerusalem to be King of Peace on earth. The Jews not Arabs not Islam not Christians will welcome Him. Until then there will be no permanent peace in Jerusalem and the world.
Arab and the Jews need to believe in Jesus Christ Messiah of Israel Savior of the world Son of God who died for the sins of the world and raised from the dead. He will come to save all believers, Arabs and Jews.

Real fact: Israel is a nation since 1948.
God is true in saying:
Jeremiah 31:35 This is what the LORD says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar - the LORD Almighty is his name:

Israel is descendants of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, period.
There is blessings and curses clause in their covenant with God (Deut 28) but God is faithful, Israel nation will be saved on the end time after tribulation.
The new covenant doesn't cancel the promise of God to Abraham about the land of Israel which is irrevocable. No verse in the Bible which cancel the promise.
It was fulfilled. You can find this is Joshua, as Steve references
You talk about text and context and then interpretation. You may have studied for a long time but Wisdom certainly has not entered into this “interpretation”.
There never was a “state”
of Palestine…It remained a very desolate area for all the time various and sundry peoples lived there. The so-called Palestinians are really Jordanians… But no one in the Arab world wants to take them in including the Jordanians. Egypt does not want Gaza because of all the problems it would present.The Arab world and all its landmass and riches could easily assimilate these misnamed Palestinians.
Victimhood will always be useful to continue anyone’s cause ,whatever the cause.The original plan had a two-state solution which was rejected by the many Arab Organizations and Arab countries.The actual land the Arabs were supposed to have was the best of all existing towns and land.
The Jews were given possession of all the least favorable areas. Again… This plan was rejected.
Bottom line…God will sift through what “Man”has muddled up magnificently.
This family feud will go on until Christ’s return.

Steve you are wrong in a few points here, disappointed in some of your assessments. No America did not give the Israelis weapons the British wouldn't give them weapons and America would give them weapons, the Jews went to Czechoslovakia and purchased weapons, that was the only country that would supply them with any military equipment.

A Christian should renounce his own convictions about this Israel unfaithful worldly state, will only then be able to remain fully committed to Jesus Christ whom the Jews still reject. And do not mix the worldly views about nationalism with Christianity. The Lord made us the light of the world and without understanding the radical exclusive call of Jesus toward those who are ready to take up their cross denying themselves, they will be live a mixt life without taste without light. This is a rare sane teaching in this days. One can understand why the Christians are warned so many times about the deceitful teachings in the last days
You're right!
Those so called Christians that believe that the Jews are saved just by the fact that they're Jews aren't reading the truth of God in the scriptures.. in the contrary, saying and believing that they're God's chosen people even though they rejected Christ Jesus have the spirit of antichrist... It's an eternal danger in which they're caught up. Read

The 4 gospels etc etc.its all over the Bible.
Enthusiastically quoting 'frothing at the mouth' Jew-haters who feign impartiality (as you do, Steve) to cite Israel's wrongs does not prove your case.
We are commanded to love all.
Steve doesn't hate Jews. You just hate facts that dispute your belief system.

The problem of the speaker is he didn't ask the Holy Spirit but rely on his own understanding., violating the command of Jesus Christ as revealed by the Holy Spirit:
