Why Does the World Keep attempting to Rename and Divide God’s Land?
⸻
🌍 Today’s headlines: Canada, Australia, and the UK push initiatives to divide Israel. Yet God has spoken:
“I will gather all the nations and enter into judgment with them there, on account of My people, My heritage Israel… because they have divided up My land” (Joel 3:2).
The world has always tried to rename, erase, and divide what belongs to Him.

▶️ What Jesus Said
Acts 1:8: “You will be My witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Jesus rooted His words in covenant land. He affirmed the same land promised to Abraham: “To your offspring I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates” (Genesis 15:18).
⸻
▶️ Rome’s Attempt to Erase
In 135 AD, Emperor Hadrian crushed the Bar Kokhba revolt and renamed Judea Syria Palaestina. He renamed Jerusalem Aelia Capitolina.
But God said:
“I have set My King on Zion, My holy hill” (Psalm 2:6).
No emperor could erase the divine decree: “The LORD will not forsake His people; He will not abandon His heritage” (Psalm 94:14).

▶️ Jordan’s Attempt to Rename
In 1950, Jordan called it the “West Bank.” Yet the prophets spoke of this very soil:
“Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD… you shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit for My people Israel; for they are soon to come” (Ezekiel 36:1, 8).
“I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine” (Amos 9:14).

▶️ Prophetic Reality
The land is God’s possession, not man’s bargaining chip:
“For the land is Mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with Me” (Leviticus 25:23).
“I will bring Judah and Israel back from captivity and will rebuild them as they were at first” (Jeremiah 33:7).
What the world calls disputed, God calls promised.

Charles Spurgeon declared:
“I never read of the Holy Land as Palestine, but I like to call it by its proper name. ‘Palestine’ is not the word God chose. He always called that country ‘the land of Canaan,’ or ‘the land of Israel.’”

🔥 The Verdict
Rome renamed it.
Jordan renamed it.
Nations today seek to divide it.
But the Word of God still stands:
“The LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place” (Psalm 132:13).
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).
Jesus called it Judea and Samaria. Joel 3:2 warns: Do not divide the land.
Ten nations are now preparing to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations. TEN nations!
> “And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.”
— Revelation 17:12 KJV
Prophetically speaking, if these kings already possess kingdoms and are willing to divide the land, consider this:
> “I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.”
— Joel 3:2 KJV
Where are we prophetically 🤔
How close are we to the covenant of Daniel 9:27.
With the death of #CharlieKirk and what is easy to consider as #martyrdom, comes an outpouring of others who, whether they yet recognize it or not, carry the zealous love of Christ Jesus for many others to follow.
Acts5:39📖🕊
It has been well said that if we are born once, we will die twice (the first and the second death), but if we are born twice, we will only die once.
📖 John 3
#TheLaw is a mirror showing us what we are like. When we look in the mirror, the mirror shows us our need to be shaved - but the mirror cannot shave us, we are shaved by #grace. - Missler🕊
The nearer our souls draw to God the larger our love will grow, and the greater our love the more unselfish we shall become and the greater our care for the souls of others. - Tozer🕊
The most terrible warning to impenitent men in all the world is the death of Christ. For if God spared not His only Son, on whom was only laid imputed sin, while He spare sinners whose sins are their own? Spurgeon🕊
For the #wordofGod is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
📖 Hebrews4:12
When you are willing, God will call you. When you are prepared, God will empower you. When you are empowered, God will test you. When you are tested, God will strengthen you. When you are strengthened, God will use you, and when you are used, God will reward you. 📖🛡⚔️
