Lutherans call for two-state solution in Israel and Palestine

  1. Letter to President Bush From Evangelical Leaders - New York Times


  2. ISRAEL: THE TWO STATE SOLUTION A BIBLICAL CONFLICT WITH THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT   By Paul McGuire

    There are Evangelical Leaders, Evangelical churches, and political leaders who do not properly understand the Abrahamic Covenant that God made with the physical descendants of Abraham.  This Abrahamic Covenant is as "everlasting covenant," and it is not in the final analysis contingent upon the obedience or belief of the Jews.  It is true that the Mosaic Covenant is conditional, and the consequences of disobedience by the Jews is spelled out in Deuteronomy Chapter 28 in what could be called the blessings, and the curses. As Jesus Christ prophesied the Jews were driven from the land of Israel, and the Temple was destroyed in A.D. 70 after an invasion from the Romans.  However, there are numerous Old Testament prophecies about the Jews coming back into the land in the "latter days," in a spiritual state of unbelief.  This accelerated in 1948 with the reformation of the nation of Israel, after about 2,000 years, and the Jews, as predicted have been coming back from all the nations of the earth.  Ultimately, the Abrahamic Covenant cannot be made null, and void.  It is an everlasting covenant.  This is a parallel truth to a believers salvation.  Once a believer is saved, he or she cannot lose their salvation.  The Church has not replaced the nation of Israel.  The final proof of the everlasting nature of the Abrahamic Covenant is that the Jews have returned to the physical land of Israel.  In addition, the Messiah will return to rule, and reign from Israel for a literal thousand year period called the Millennium. 

    It is a serious mistake for Evangelical Leaders, and the Evangelical Church to come against God's promise to the nation of Israel, and attempt to divide up the land.  This is a grave theological error that will have cataclysmic consequences for America.  The God of the Bible says in Genesis 12:3, "I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you." America is on the verge of making a very serious mistake, and Evangelical leaders who advise our political leaders without a proper understanding of the Abrahamic Covenant will be held accountable.  I will be making available to you a weekly "McGuire Report" which you can download on MP3 which will give you a prophetic news analysis.  In addition, I will be holding a serious of meetings in Orange County to give you a Prophetic Update.  Please keep visiting the websites paulmcguire.org, and paulmcguire.com for updates.  There is a convergence of political, economic, spiritual, and social forces in our nation that are directly connected to Genesis 12:3, and you need to know what is going to happen before it happens, and what you can do about it.   Also, visit paulmcguireblog.blogspot.com and be sure you spread the word to your friends!


    I. THE EVERLASTING COVENANT

    A. God establishes an everlasting covenant with Abraham.
    B. Covenant comes from the Hebrew word berit ( beh-reet ). It means covenant, compact, pledge, treaty, agreement.
    C. Circumcision is the sign of the covenant. ( Genesis 17:1-14
    D. God’s unconditional covenant with Abraham. Genesis Chapter 15. God ordains a divinely ordered ritual called a barath which means to cut a covenant. This ritual involves two people who would divide a sacrifice in two parts and walk a “figure of eight pattern” while reciting the terms of the covenant. In this case, God puts Abraham asleep and goes through the covenant procedure Himself. The point God was making is that the covenant is unconditional and unilateral. Thus the Abrahamic covenant was unconditional. This is important when understanding the Book of Romans as well as many other passages. God gave Abraham the land and to his descendants. “From the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates .”

    E. Isaiah 54:9-10 God’s covenant of peace shall never be removed from Israel .

    F. God promised a specific land to the Jews.

    A) Genesis 12:1-3, Genesis 15:18 ; 13:15 ;26:2-3;28:13, Exodus 6:8
    B) Leviticus 20:24, Jeremiah 7:7


    II. GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE

    A. God chose the Jews not because they were more righteous or better than any other people. God did not give the Jews the Promised Land or the land of Canaan due to favoritism. The nations were cast out of that land because of their wickedness. “But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again, for the inequity of the Amorites is not yet full.” Genesis 15:16.
    B. Deuteronomy 9:4,5 God clearly reveals that the land is being given not because of Israel ’s righteousness, but because of the covenant He made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
    C. The promise of the land was not given once or twice, but dozens of times and this is repeated in almost every New Testament book.
    D. The modern Arabs claim to be descendants of Ishmael ( there is no proof of this ) But, they are still not the seeds of Isaac and Jacob to whom the promise of the land was given.
    E. Author Bruce Feiler who wrote Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths and who has been featured in Time Magazine and numerous national television networks. Feiler attempts to promote the idea that the land given to Abraham was given to all faiths including the Muslims and Christians. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Even a casual reading of the Old Testament indicates that the land was specifically given to the Jews. Feiler and others like him attempt to use revisionist history in order to support their personal political beliefs. The Bible indicates that land was given to the Jews and nobody else!

    Three Facts About The Land

    A. The promise was not made to the present day Jews who are primarily secular and do not believe in God. The promise was made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
    B. Possession of the land is contingent upon obedience to God. Even though they are the descendants of Jacob, they will be cast out of the land because of disobedience. If they repent they will be given the land permanently.
    C. The promise is an everlasting covenant and is still true today! Exodus 33:11,13, Leviticus 25:23, Jeremiah 25:4,5, Ezekiel 37:25

    D. The boundaries of the Promised Land. Genesis 15:18-21


    III. TEN PROPHECIES FULFILLED

    1 God’s promise of the land along with specific boundaries.Genesis 15:18-21 God’s promise to Abraham ( Genesis 12:1-3; 13:15, 15:7 ) That promise was given again to Abraham’s son Isaac ( Genesis 26:3-5 ), his grandson Jacob ( Genesis 28:13 ), and to all of their descendants ( Leviticus 25:46; Joshua 14:9 ).

    2 God brought the children of Israel into the Promised Land. ( Exodus 6:7,8; Deuteronomy 7:6;14:12.

    3 God warned the children of Israel if they broke His commandments and practiced immorality and idolatry like the previous inhabitants of the land, that He would cast them out of the land. ( Deuteronomy 9:4; 28:63, I Kings 9:7, 2 Chronicles 7:20 ) All of this happened as God foretold.

    4 God stated that His people would be scattered “among all people, from one end of the earth even to the other.” ( Deuteronomy 28:64; 1 Kings 9:7, Nehemiah 1:8; Amos 9:9; Zechariah 7:14 ) The Jews were scattered all over the earth.

    5 God warned that wherever they wandered the Jews would be “an astonishment, a proverb, a byword…a curse and a reproach” ( Deuteronomy 28:37; 2 Chronicles 7:20 ; Jeremiah 29:18;44:8 ) Anti-Semitism has plagued the Jews for centuries, including the holocaust and the hostility of the Muslims.

    6 The prophets declared the Jews would be persecuted and killed as no other people on the face of the earth.

    7 God promised that despite all this that He would not let His people be destroyed and that He would preserve them as an ethnic group/ ( Jeremiah 30:11; 31:35-37 ) Due to the intense persecution of the Jews, it would have been desirous for the Jews to completely reject and hide their ethnic identity in order to survive. This would have meant changing their names, intermarrying and other things to hide the fact hat they were Jews. Yet, the Jews continue to preserve their bloodline and huge numbers do not intermarry. God chose to keep the Jews as a people for Himself. ( Exodus 33:16; Leviticus 20:26 )

    8 God said that in the last days He would bring them back to their land. ( Jeremiah 30:10; 31:8-12; Ezekiel 36:24, 35-38 ) God said that this would happen prior to the Second Coming of the Messiah. The fulfillment of this amazing prophecy occurred in 1948 when Israel was reformed as a nation. This happened nearly 1900 years after the final Diaspora which occurred at the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. by the Roman armies of Titus. The miracle of the restoration of a nation after 25 centuries in nothing less than miraculous.

    9 God stated that in the last days before the Messiah’s return that Jersusalem would become “ a cup of trembling… a burdensome stone for all people” ( Zechariah 12:2,3.

    10 Finally the ancient prophets predicted that the Jews would be “like an hearth of fire among the wood… to devour all the people round about…” ( Zechariah 12:6-8 )
