There’s a strange contradiction in God’s promises to the Jewish people.
In Genesis 12, God makes a covenant with Abraham to give him the land of Israel. In Genesis 17:7, God told Abraham that His covenant with him and his descendants would be an everlasting covenant.
But then in Leviticus 26, God warns that if the Jewish people break His commandments, He will kick them out of their land.
And then we know from our studies in the book of Ezekiel that that’s exactly what happened. In fact, in Ezekiel 16, God even tells us that the covenant was broken.
This was in the 500s BC. But God had said He was making an everlasting covenant around 2000 BC. So since when does “everlasting” have an expiration date after 1500 years? How can God say that a covenant can ever be broken if God had already promised it was everlasting?
And does this mean that the Jewish people actually have no right to the claim of the land of Israel today?
Now, I actually believe there are NO contradictions in God’s Word, and that when we think we’ve found one, we actually just need to rightly divide the Word of Truth to figure out how it all fits together.
And that’s what we’ll do today as we finish up Ezekiel 36 on the Cross References podcast.
