I see the point that you're trying to make.Genesis 17:8
King James Version
8 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.
Genesis 48:4
And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
Amos 9:15
King James Version
15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.

I see the point that you're trying to make.
The plain wording in the Joshua verses is convincing enough for me; especially when you consider all other scripture pertaining to the concept of God's Kingdom. If God will never have a kingdom upon the physical earth, based on many passages, there really is no grounds to try and make a case that He still owes anything to a physical race of people here.
Joshua states multiple times that God saw all that through? That's good enough for me.
It's logical to take all aspects into consideration. When that is considered, there just isn't a case for PreMill.
That's just not accurate, Ron.Well time will show you in error. Israel never lived and "owned the land from teh Euphrates to teh Nile and that is the Land God promised to Abraham.
It is not contradicting. Not any more than your contradiction against the complete prophecy of the OT. Those people wondered the desert that was already theirs, but they did not flourish out in the desert. They were provided for by God. They did get the rest of their inheritance, the rest of the land on the other side flowing with milk and honey. But that only got them so far. They utterly failed God within a couple hundred years.If anybody on earth wants to claim that God did not make good on His land promises, that individual is fully contradicting what God has made plain.
As the verses make plain, they knew in all their hearts and souls that it was a done deal.It is not contradicting. Not any more than your contradiction against the complete prophecy of the OT.

So God told the latter prophets, He Himself would come and rule over them. The point that will see the entire land from the Euphrates to the Nile.
That's just not accurate, Ron.
The Bible is the authority, not you and not any living human being alive to this very day can override what God has plainly put in His Word.
Let these verses settle the matter:
"And the Lord gave unto Israel ALL THE LAND WHICH HE SWARE TO GIVE UNTO THEIR FATHERS; AND THEY POSSESSED IT, AND DWELT THEREIN. There failed (NOTHING) of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; ALL CAME TO PASS."
Joshua 21:43, 45
"... Ye know in all your hearts and all your souls, that NOT ONE THING HATH FAILED OF ALL THE GOOD THINGS WHICH THE LORD YOUR GOD SPAKE CONCERNING YOU; ALL ARE COME TO PASS UNTO YOU, AND NOT ONE THING HATH FAILED THEREOF."
Joshua 23:14-15
If anybody on earth wants to claim that God did not make good on His land promises, that individual is fully contradicting what God has made plain.
Let him be anathema!;)
No need.... show me in history where Israel was a nation from the Euphrates to the Nile.
No need.
I've shown you repeatedly in scripture where it was completed.
The Bible is the final word, my friend. It is the Authority, not man-written, and altered-at-will, history.
The onus is on you to prove God's Word wrong. Good luck.

Even if what you're saying were true, it makes no difference whatsoever. Your own verse that you posted shows God stating plainly that He gave them all of that land.![]()
This is the furthest the kingdom went. Notice Syria is untouched and most of modern JOrdan? Notice Philistia and the Sinai desert and Egypt are not part of the kingdom? Now this is the promise God made:
Genesis 15:18
King James Version
18 In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
![]()
Here is the middle east. Davids kingdom (the furthest conquest) did not come close to teh promise God made to Abraham!
You need better understanding.
Did you know that 65% of those inhabiting Palestine (Israel) today are Atheists?I know Gods Word is right!
But the promise to Abrham for the land has not been fuflilled. Teh promise ot the fathers was. they had the land of Caanan, but they never occupied all of modern day Syria and half of modern day Iraq, and Israel also never occupied all the sinai and the part of Egypt to the Nile except temporarily in modern times.
It is not the Bible that is oncorrect- it is you runderstanding of teh Bible that is faulty.
Gen I agree with your presentation 100%, you are up against dispensationalism's teachings in (Dual Covenant Theology) in two peoples of God, Christian ZionismEven if what you're saying were true, it makes no difference whatsoever. Your own verse that you posted shows God stating plainly that He gave them all of that land.
What they did, or didn't do, with it is 100% their responsibility.
In God's eyes, the land belongs to them from that moment forth. If somebody else is living in a portion of it today, how, in your mistaken mind, is that God's problem that He now owes them 1,000 YEARS of extra time on the earth to utilize that small portion of land you claim they aren't using?
Your logic is more than faulty. It's absolutely ridiculous.
Show me a similar situation, in any type of business deal today, where something like you describe would hold up to even minor scrutiny.
The land belongs to them, per God Almighty, until the end of the world. The world doesn't get an extension of time simply because somebody other than modern day ethnic Israel isn't using a portion of the land they were granted by God thousands of years ago. It is plain silly.
Is this the false doctrine that God has two promises that He's bringing to fruition? One to the Jews and one to the Gentiles?Gen I agree with you presentation 100%, you are up against dispensationalism teachings in (Dual Covenant Theology) in two peoples of God, Christian Zionism
I AgreeIs this the false doctrine that God has two promises that He's bringing to fruition? One to the Jews and one to the Gentiles?
While we have many verses that state that God only sees the heart, or spirit, not any race - or any other human distinction. That we are all one in Christ.
1 Samuel 16:7
Galatians 3:28
Romans 12:5
Except all the prophets in the OT came after Joshua. You have to put them on the list of all those who claim as you do, "Your God failed".As the verses make plain, they knew in all their hearts and souls that it was a done deal.
That's all that matters.
That's all that will matter in the end when God doesn't set up a millennial reign upon the physical earth at Jesus' coming.
Did your god fail? Did he fail to set up a kingdom upon the earth at Jesus' first coming?
Did he fail to deliver his promises to Israel thousands of years ago?
My God doesn't fail. He's never failed and He never intended any of that. Everything that happened upon Jesus' first coming was part of God's Divine Plan. If He had intended to set up a kingdom here upon the physical earth, He would've done it then. He did not.
His kingdom is a heavenly, spiritual kingdom and it reigns as we speak. Jesus will turn all His power and authority over to the Father when He returns on the last day of the world. There will never be an earthly kingdom of God upon this earth. Never.
1 Corinthians 15:22-26
Done deal.
Yet your fairy tale claims God stopped working in Joshua's day and called all His work completed and done, if you agree with Gen2Rev.I Agree
Their teaching goes way beyond imagination, many within this camp falsely teach that Jesus Christ is going to sit on a physical throne in Jerusalem amongst mortal humans, as Jews in a Jerusalem Temple are sacrificing animals before Jesus in commemoration to the Lords death on Calvary, No Joke!
They teach these Jews and Temple will be the focal point of world rule for 1,000 years, with this teaching being comparable to Hitlers reich for 1,000 years, as ethnic Jews rule the world
Tell me that ain't a wild fairy tale dream, and they believe it!

For some reason, the bar graph image won't post. Here's the link:

And what % of the land would you guess is in question there?
So a small portion of those who live there even believe in A god at all, who knows how many embrace the God of the Bible. And a relatively small portion of the land is in question. Sounds like your case is growing stronger.![]()
