As I read through the Bible, verses leap at me concerning Israel and God's promises to watch over the land and its people, no matter how great the sins. There will be consequences for sin, don't misunderstand, but He will never forget or turn His back on this important piece of realty and His people who inhabit it.
Genesis 17:7,8 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
Isaiah 49:14-16 But Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of My hands; thy walls are continually before Me.
Jeremiah 31:35-37 Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is His name: If those ordinances depart from before Me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me for ever. Thus saith the Lord; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord.
And that's just three verses!! God's Word is full of these promises and not one shall fail to come to pass!
Happy Anniversary, Israel!! Shalu Shalom Yerushalyim--Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

Great blog. I really mean that. :)
I hope you'll follow mine, too. I've written a novel that's partly set in Tel Aviv and I'm trying to get it published.
It's very hard to get a novel about terrorism published and I need all the help I can get.
Awesome, Mary!! Thank you for following. I just self-published my novel set mostly in Haifa and the Negev region...sequel to be set in Negev and Jerusalem. Let's create a market for these!
Shalom,
Mid
