He remembers His covenant forever,
The word He commanded
to a thousand generations,
The covenant He made with Abraham,
    And the oath He swore to Isaac,
And confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,
    To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan,
as your allotted inheritance.” *

-Psalm 105:8-11

God chose a specific people - the Jews,
And gave them a specific land - Canaan.
This CHOICE and this TITLE DEED are ETERNAL.

  Through the Jews, God gave to the world His written word - the Bible.  Among other things, the Bible details the history of the Jewish people - past, present, and future.  It clearly foretold each of the times they were to be uprooted from their land and then restored to it again:

   1. The Egyptian bondage - followed by The Exodus under Moses and the conquest of Canaan.

   2. The Assyrian & Babylonian captivities - followed by The Return under Ezra and Nehemiah.

   3. The worldwide Dispersion/"Diaspora" - followed by The Restoration of recent decades.

   Whether in their land or absent from it, their ultimate and permanent possession of it is guaranteed by The Word Of God.  The reality of this most recent Restoration is abundantly evident everyday in our newspapers, TV, current events magazines, and other news media.

   This website is, first and foremost, a BIBLICAL resource - with the goal of collecting and categorizing EVERYTHING in the Bible concerning The Chosen People and their connection to The Promised Land.  It is firmly based on the belief that the Bible is, in fact, The Word of God - that God meant what He said, and said what He meant, and always knows what He's talking about.  Rather than being a collection of Bible studies or commentary written about Israel and the Jews, this website simply brings together all available scriptures under each of the various topics and just allows the Bible to speak for itself.  The Word of God is Powerful (Hebrews 4:12) and the entrance of God's Word gives Light and Understanding (Psalm 119:130).  Men have many opinions about many things, but "let God be true and every man a liar" (Romans 3:4).

    Most of the pages in this website are complete lists of scripture verses arranged under dozens of various topics related to The Chosen People, The Promised Land, The Borders of Israel, Jerusalem, and Israel's Friends and Foes.  The Details area takes a closer look at everything the Bible says about each of the nations dispossessed from Canaan and each of the specific border locations of The Promised Land, including Maps and available geographic information.  FAQ has a few Frequently Asked Questions about this website and it's contents.  Odds & Ends includes various items - a Sitemap for this website, Scripture Lists of all the Bible verses used in this website, an extensive Historical Timeline, Interesting Facts about the modern nation of Israel, some relevant Quotes, and a few Photos.  The Links page attempts to collect links to all of the BEST websites related to The Chosen People and The Promised Land.  

   It's been said that up to 1/3 of the whole Bible is prophetic, and that 2/3 of those prophecies have already been fulfilled - with 100% accuracy!  The remaining 1/3 will also be fulfilled - just as accurately, and perhaps sooner than any of us realize.  It's also been said that the single most common topic of prophecy in the entire Bible is the promised Restoration of the nation of Israel in these Last Days.

Israel is the
"Center of Gravity"
around which all of
Bible Prophecy revolves.

   This website is a "Work in Progress" and has been updated many times since it's first appearance online.  Work is still being done on filling in the blanks and adding flesh to the bones.  A few of the newest pages are not yet complete, still being researched in the Bible and elsewhere.  It's all nearing completion with the help and blessings of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Shalom
- in every sense of the word.
