Whose Land Is It?

From the Golden Report by Jerry Golden

A Short History Lesson

You can go all the way back to the Stone Age and then forward through the Bronze and Iron Age on to the Israeli Conquests from 1,200 – 1,000 BC -- and you will not find in any of those times a "Palestinian" people. Much less one that was in control of this land called the Holy Land. You can then search the history books and see that from 1,000 BC up until 587 BC the Jews struggled among themselves over the land, yet stayed in control of it. Afterward came the Persians then the Hellenists, and later, the Hasmoneans.

Then came the Romans. To shorten a long story, they had so much trouble with the Jews they ended up destroying everything Jewish that they could find. This even included changing the name of the place from Israel to “Palestine”. That happened around 63 BC through 324 AD. From that time forth everyone who lived here in this land were called "Palestinians". The Greeks, Persians, and even the Jews, were all called Palestinians. Much the same as those who live in the USA are all called Americans.

After the Romans came the Byzantines, the Crusaders, the Mamluks, and the Ottoman’s. In 1917 came the British who stayed in control of Palestine until 1948. During their stay in Palestine they even created a State for the Arabs (Palestinians) who lived here, it's called Jordan. Then in May of 1948 God brought the Jews home, and ISRAEL BECAME A NATION ONCE AGAIN, Ezek. 37.

From 1948 until 1967 Egypt controlled the Gaza Strip and Jordan controlled the “so-called” West Bank, Samaria and Judea. After the 1967 six day war this all changed, and Israel was once more in control of their mountains “Judea & Samaria” and more importantly their beloved Jerusalem.

However, I am sure you know all of this. I want to make this very clear to everyone; there is one thing absent in all of the above. At no time did the “Palestinians” have control of anything, much less this land. It is also interesting to note that during the time span 1948 –67 when Egypt and Jordan were in control, there was never any talk of a Palestinian State. So why is it so important now? The answer is simple; it is JIHAD “A Holy War” - not a national one. It is the war that has raged on for thousands of years between Ishmael and Isaac, the Arabs and the Jews.

To keep this report short, I will not continue further with the thought above; instead I will close with this; The Palestinians cannot have their "State" back, because they never had one in the first place! This is yet another Islamic lie, and part of their desire to control or kill Jacob. So when you hear them say the Jews are on Palestinian land, it is another of their lies. But what is so amazing is that no one is questioning their right to say it.
