The Land of Israel or Ishmael?
Islam’s Claim to Palestine “This land is mine. God gave this land to me,” is the opening line of the beloved song “Exodus.” Although deeply moving lyrics to the ears of an Israeli, they are inflammatory words to a Muslim, for the message of Islam is clear: The land of Israel belongs to the Muslims, not to the Jews.

Glory To Israel 🇮🇱 GOD who created Abraham and gave him the privilege to be his friend. Would see the decendants of Isaac through 🙏🏾
If God’s covenant was with Isaac & all of the word’s Moses recorded was given to Israel. How does Ishmael lay claim to a land & word’s of the book if No Ishmaelites entered into the wilderness to obtain the law neither the book of the prophets?.
We see the covenant continually being made with Jacob’s offspring in Isaac by numerous prophets being sent attempting to turn them back. Even Jesus said he’d send the angels to gather Israel together going back into the land of promise in the last days.
Heck isaiah 11:12kjv basically quotes Jesus ” gathering from the 4 corners ” returning to the land ” becoming a nation once again ( figtree parable )…
Cain was ok but God chose Abel.
Esau was ok but God chose Jacob.
Ishmael was ok but God chose Isaac.
Arabs lived in the coast lands ( Joel 3:4kjv )
Called Palestine…
Recompence: to make atonement or seek forgiveness for an action.
It clearly says there’s no forgiveness returning their way upon their own head.
In the days of the everlasting covenant when Jesus returns, all sin & iniquity is forgiven against God. Specifically why the angels are sent to gather returning them into their national country. But if Ishmael is the inheriting party, the forgiveness of his sin in the everlasting covenant contradicts Joel’s written word’s. Note: see how Joel writes they’ll be gathered in the day when the sun is darkened & the stars fall?.
Vrs 21 coincide with all their sins being forgiven in that day.
Muslims read the Koran, which claims Christians and Jews knowingly changed our holy books. I’ve studied the Tenach with Jews and Christians in the original language. I’ve also learned Greek, and read the Christian Bible in the original language. I know Jews are EXTREMELY careful to make sure nothing is changed, and it seems that Christians are equally careful. The Quran makes some pretty major changes though, and those changes have to be explained somehow. Thus the accusations against Jews and Christians.
Thankyou very much for this clear explanation Bruce.
