Did God condemn
Jews to wander until Messiah comes but blessed every other tribe of Israel with a national inheritance? Does that make sense? Is God fair? Is Israel so much holier than Judah? Or could it be, as Herbert Armstrong taught in The United States and Britain in Prophecy, that Israel's punishment was to last for 2,520 years (Lev. 26:21)?After that time, around A.D. 1800, because of ABRAHAM'S OBEDIENCE, God decreed that He would bestow His blessings. Did that 2,520 years of punishment apply only to Northern Kingdom of Israel? Does God have a double standard? Once God removed Kingdom of Judah wasn't it His responsibility to RESTORE it at appointed time?
Did Anglo-Saxon and European peoples take these prophecies into their own hands? Were they able to create their countries with no divine mandate, signs and miracles, or prophetic leadership?
For those who have eyes to see, Biblical countries came into being by DIVINE MANDATE since only God determines rise and fall of nations! Many of our founding fathers were inspired of God, in spite of themselves, to accomplish our Manifest Destiny. God's overall plan is greater than any single man.
God stirred up Theodore Herzl to inspire Jewish people with Biblical idea of having a Jewish State again. He wrote and spoke about it extensively, planting seed of holy imagination in Judah's mind.
Later, during British Mandate, British began to "look favorably" upon establishment of an independent Jewish Homeland, watering that holy seed. The Balfour Declaration was part of a divine mandate to restore Judah to "Palestine" (a Satanic word Romans used in an evil attempt to erase our father Israel's name off map - Ps. 83:4).
God utilized political Zionism for His purposes, just as He utilized America's rebellion against English throne. On surface, neither were so special or righteous, but both were instrumental in fulfilling prophecy.
As for treatment of former inhabitants of lands that God decreed for His people, whether Arabs or Indians, I'm sure Canaanites would offer scathing condemnation but others would see God's purpose being worked out, however imperfectly to limited human vision. God addresses any injustices in His own way and time (2 Sam. 21:1-14), but dismisses those charges that exaggerate or exploit them to deny our basic Biblical right to lands He has chosen for us (Acts 17:26).
As Greeks are representative of all Gentiles, so Jews are representative of all Israel. It is to Israel, specifically to Jews, that God has committed "oracles of God" (Rom. 3:2). The oracles of God includes DIVINE COVENANTS AND PROMISES (Rom. 9:4-5). The Jews hold, in trust, Biblical land deed/covenant to Holy Land for all Twelve Tribes!
GOD MADE A LAND-COVENANT WITH ISRAEL (Gen. 12:7; 13:15; 15:18; 17:8; 26:3; 28:13; 35:12). Not once did He promise Holy Land to "Palestinians" (Philistines) so Bible-believers must reject their illegitimate claims! Those who attempt to justify foreign occupation of our land or terrible treatment of our people because of our sins are condemning themselves before God! (Isa. 47:6; Jer. 50:7; Zech. 1:15).
There are many Scriptures that speak of a REPRESENTATIVE AMOUNT OF JEWS living in Israel before Christ comes. Shamefully, God's ministers, and consequently Church, have often been BLIND to what God is doing in Israel TODAY. We've failed to see wonders that God has wrought, TYPES that foretell of greater things to come!
We've been ignorant of Biblical principle of DUALITY and have nit-picked prophecies demanding all or nothing! With that limited vision we would've argued with Peter on Pentecost/Shavuot about Joel's prophecy being fulfilled! However, it certainly was - IN PART! (Acts 2:16-21).
Consider following:
God promised to "save Zion, and build cities of Judah" (Ps. 69:35). He's faithfully done that by rewarding Jewish efforts (Annuit Coeptus) and respecting their blood, sweat and tears! (Isa. 61:4; Ps. 102:13-14). God has used Jews to make desert blossom as rose and protected them during this conversion process, just as Moses requested (Deut. 33:7).
