Abraham saw Canaan as a symbol for Heaven. Jesus is God and the land belongs to him, but it also means the world belongs to him where the Church (Israel) resides. The Land of Israel (Jesus) is Heaven and the whole world.

I worship a Jew...Jesus. Anti-semitic means all in the Middle East descending from Shem. I'm hardy anti-semitic.
Hi Dave-L,
Matthew 13: 41. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity.
Well, my understanding of this verse is that it's the Angels who do the separating.
The place where the New Jerusalem comes down out of Heaven
Revelation 21
21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God.
That's the New Jerusalem not land.
God specifies LAND numerous times. The return of Jesus is to earth before that in Rev 19:11
You're referring to the period AFTER the 1000 year reign of Messiah on earth.
I'll rephrase it then if you want to play semantic games.
You exhibit an irrational hatred of ethnic Jews.
...And it is we who contend for the Faith.
Jude 1
1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort [you] that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
I love all people. But I would need to lie to say other than I already have.
That's a good point!
I think it's a good idea not to follow humans, but to follow Christ.
1 Corinthians 1: 12. Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ." 13. Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
Let me make this clear, everyone wants a piece of the land of Israel, but God gave the land to the Jews and it will always be their land.
And you have said you hold to a doctrine that agrees with terror groups and hard-line Islamic regimes.
Fine. We will go back 1000 years to the promised place where we shall rule and reign with Jesus from;
Revelation
20:6 Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
It's a major theme running right through The Bible from Genesis to Revelation. At least until God creates a new heavens & earth.
It takes years of religious training to miss it.
It's a reality in current world affairs as well.
Why try to make me look as bad as you can. When I say all semites come from Shem and mostly Abraham?

The whole pacifist thing that you're pushing is absurd.
If you see a woman being gang raped to death you are not supposed to just tip your hat and walk on by, this is the love of evil, not love of righteousness, and certainly not love of the neighbor.
And I know you will say this is hyperbole but it is not. These Muslim terrorist groups absolutely do this regularly in areas that they take over.
Jesus calls us to peaceably settle our personal and public disputes, but not to stand by and allow violent evils to go unabated especially when those violent evils occur against the defenseless.
