U.S. ambassador Mike Huckabee causes uproar by claiming Israel has a right to much of the Middle East

Arab and Muslim nations on Saturday sharply condemned comments by the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, who said Israel has a right to much of the Middle East.

Huckabee made the comments in an interview with conservative commentator Tucker Carlson that aired Friday. Carlson said that according to the Bible, the descendants of Abraham would receive land that today would include essentially the entire Middle East, and asked Huckabee if Israel had a right to that land.

Huckabee responded: “It would be fine if they took it all.” Huckabee added, however, that Israel was not looking to expand its territory and has a right to security in the land it legitimately holds.

Carlson pressed Huckabee about his interpretation of Bible verses from the book of Genesis, where he said God promised Abraham and his descendants land from the Nile to the Euphrates.

“That would be the Levant, so that would be Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon. It would also be big parts of Saudi Arabia and Iraq,” Carlson said.

Huckabee replied: “Not sure we’d go that far. I mean, it would be a big piece of land.”

We should note that the sheiks have bought Europe and are in the process of taking possession.

Because they say they are of Shem, does not mean they are. Only God knows, and he is not a respecter of persons or Nations. Salvation is Individual, not by race.

“Egypt’s foreign ministry called Huckabee’s comments a “blatant violation” of international law”

Maybe Huckabee should have said “Death to Egypt.”

That’s okay, the Euro-globalists have their Zionists directing Trump to pick up the Americas for them.

Ask almost any Arab living in Israel, and they will tell you that they would much rather live in Israel than any Arab State.

Islam is a filthy degenerate “religion” invented by a pedo for low IQ tribal sand farmers. If it wasn’t for the cruel joke that oil is under that sand they would be..... never mind.

“ Ask almost any Arab living in Israel, and they will tell you that they would much rather live in Israel than any Arab State.”

So what?

Tucker is an absolute tension hore and is best ignored.

Although he seems to have a talent for revealing people with very important roles in the government of the Greatest Country in the World who seem to have more of an interest in addressing the interests and concerns of a country other than the country whose job it is for them to represent.

WERE GOD’S PROMISES TO ISRAEL FOREVER?

“And I will establish my covenant between you and Me and you and your offspring after you through their generations for an everlasting covenant. . . and I will give to you and your offspring after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession.” (Genesis 17:7-8; cf. Genesis 13:15; 48:4; Isaiah 60:21)

“The LORD will establish you as a people holy to himself, as He has sworn to you, IF you keep the commandments of the LORD your God and walk in his ways. . . But IF you will not obey. . . the LORD will send on you curses. . . until you are destroyed.” (Deuteronomy 28:9, 15, 20; cf. Zechariah 11:10)

Errors of biblical interpretation arise for several reasons, including:

1. Failure to reconcile all passages that seem to be different.
2. Presuppositions from errors arising from one’s denominational echo chamber (“mass formation hypnosis”).
3. Confusing new covenant things with old covenant things.

The two passages above from Genesis and Deuteronomy appear to be contradictory. On the one hand, God’s promises to Israel are everlasting. On the other hand, they are contingent on obedience. How do we reconcile these? Here’s how:

“God’s promises to Israel were forever so long as they were obedient. If they fail the obedience test, the promises are null and void.”

There is only one way to Salvation

Amen, Jesus Christ, King of the Israel and the King of Kings holds eternal title to the Middle East and the whole world.

Isaiah 1:9
Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah

Huckabee is an ambassador, he was put there for his love of Israel. The reason he should be recalled is for meeting with that traitor Pollard.

He is an agent provocateur and completely biblically ignorant. He said a demon attacked it in his bedroom and so it did. He needs an exorcism.

The Bible agrees with him. Unfortunately, they won’t get their land until Jesus comes back.

This, and they will share it with all the saints in glory.
