Today,
reply responds to a presentation made by Danny Danon, Israel’s
Ambassador to the Security Council of the United Nations, April 29,
2019, on the “divine deed” of the Jewish people to the land of
Israel. The benefits and privileges of divine inheritance must be
apprehended through sacred process and spiritual discernment, rather
than cultural, legal, geopolitical, and social frameworks. In
accordance with national economies and financial procedures, deeds
and documents that record purchases and transfers of real property
(land) and chattel (material goods) are acknowledged and registered
by governments for purposes of allotments and taxation. Deeds also
pertain to debts and agreements for payment (we say, transaction
fees, loans, mortgages). Abraham’s
purchase of a field at Machpelah for a possession and a burying place
occurred before an assembly within an open forum at Mamre, and was
therefore in such a framework of public witness, procedures, and
standards. Abraham’s receipt of
the land of Canaan was by inheritance and through a framework of
promises made to Adam and Eve whereby the seed of the woman
eventually would prevail. Those insisting that the lawful framework
for buying and selling must be maintained when considering the status
of modern Israel, rather than that for faith and continued
interaction with divinity, also are obliged to observe all the other
commands, principles, and sanctions that are aspects of the same law.
Similarly, those standing on the foundation of ongoing relationship
with divinity must acknowledge the full range of promises,
prophecies, spirit process, and spirit substance. There should be no
switching between frameworks. Maturity is only displayed through
accountability, commitment, consistency, integrity and stability.
Thus, we are reminded: James 2: 10-11, King James Version (KJV):
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one
point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said, Do not
commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no
adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the
law. A fighter in the “Yahoo! Answers” public forum on Religion

Israel
belongs to the Jews -- given by God?
Israel's
Ambassador Takes Out Bible at UN to Prove Jewish People's Claim to
Israel

"The
Qur'an itself accepts the divine deed of the Jewish people to the
land of Israel." -Danny Danon, Israel's US Ambassador
(New
York, NY) — [CBN News] Israel's UN ambassador Danny Danon used the
Bible to defend the Jewish people's claim to the land of Israel
during a special session at the United Nations Security Council on
Monday. (Image: Screengrab-AP/via CBN News)
Danon
was tasked with the job of proving the case for Jews' connection to
the Holy Land during the session. He outlined four reasons, "the
Bible, history, international law, and the pursuit of international
peace and security."
In
a dramatic moment, Danon opened the Bible and read aloud God's
covenant with Abraham from Genesis 17: "And I will establish My
covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout
the generations for an everlasting covenant. And I will give to you
and your descendants after you all the land of Canaan for an
everlasting possession and I will be their God."
Danon
then raised up the Bible, turned to attendees and said, "This is
the deed to our land."
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well:
the devils also believe, and tremble. But
wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was
not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac
his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works,
and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled
which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for
righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then how
that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. (James 2:
19-24, King James Version, KJV)

DOUBLE DAGGER: Abraham In Divine Judgment (03/10/2019); Sacred

“Anonymous”,
Abraham was the “Friend of God” where Moses was a covenant
partner. Here are some points from the Bible that developing
Christian believers are careful to examine when seeking to correctly
understand mankind’s dominion
over the earth, relationship to divinity through divine utterance
(e.g., proclamation; promise; prophecy), and the authority of sacred
records. It was not a secular system, or geopolitical economy
wherein the transactions between GOD and Abraham occurred. While
there were exchanges that compare to issuing promissory notes, the
lawful transfer of goods and property through inheritance, and
conduct to acknowledge covenant relationship (e.g., circumcision) and
mutual obligation, all was anchored in operations of divinity to
impart spirit substance from the makeup of GOD that included faith,
hope, joy, knowledge, trust, and vision. The establishment and
fulfillment of the early covenants are also on record as historical
events; yet, there are many subtle points that are often overlooked.
It is written:
1.
Genesis 18: 18-19, King James Version (KJV): 18 Seeing that
Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the
nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19 For I know him,
that he will command his children and his household after him, and
they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do
justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring
upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
2.
Genesis 15: 18, KJV: 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:
3.
Acts 7: 1-8, KJV: 1 Then said the high priest, Are these things
so? 2 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of
glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia,
before he dwelt in Charran, 3 And said unto him, Get thee out of thy
country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall
shew thee. 4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and
dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he
removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell. 5 And he gave him
none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on:
yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and
to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child. 6 And God
spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land;
and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them
evil four hundred years. 7 And the nation to whom they shall be in
bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come
forth, and serve me in this place. 8 And he gave him the covenant of
circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him
the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat
the twelve patriarchs.
4.
Romans 4: 13-15, KJV: 13 For the promise, that he should be the
heir of the world, was
not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the
righteousness of faith. 14 For if they which are of the law be
heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: 15
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is
no transgression. 16 Therefore it is of faith, that it
might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all
the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also
which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, 5. Galatians 3: 16-18, KJV: 16 Now to
Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to
seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed
before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty
years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none
effect. 18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is
no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.)
Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you
according to your faith.
