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.”

... and made the diplomatic burden of other ambassadors in the region markedly more difficult.

What burden ? History testifies that, aside from military dominance, all they can do to satisfy their hosts is to say the shahada and convert to islam.

He must have had an opinion on something and dared to voice it which you disagree with.

If nothing else, Tucker at least presents ideas and view points, based on some facts that are strung together, which our MSM (mostly lockstep with certain interests) refuse to present.

Do I think he’s always spot on with his analysis? No.

But most of our MSM does not even present MAJOR arguments on issues where you have two sides. They simply omit these things trying to get the viewer/reader to favor one perspective.

He is an agent provocateur and completely biblically ignorant.

I understand the man is ignorant of the Bible, but I have never heard of this incident where Huckabee was attacked by a demon. (I have heard Carlson has made such a claim.)

No... he’s gonna be angry with them. They killed him, called him a fraud, and wrote in the Torah that he is boiling in a lake of excrement.

They freaking rejected him. And these Ashkazanis weren’t from there.

Huckabee is a total embarrassment and needs to be removed.

They wrote in the Talmud is the claim. The RABBIS do NOT explicitly admit it though. I’m not sure about their transparency however.
Jesus may also be upset with the unbelieving Indians, Chinese and Muslims if they don’t repent. Not to mention traditional religion adherents in Black Africa and Latin America etc. That’s over 5 billion people at least. Trouble lies ahead________

Quote-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)_________

Nobody can be HOLY BEFORE GOD and WALK in God’s ways WITHOUT submission to Jesus Christ. Judaism is antithetical to Christianity.

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

Maybe Huckabee should have said “Death to Egypt.”
_______________________________

Talking about Egypt, Egypt is used to represent those under judgement. A Biblical symbol of unbelief. For example:

Revelation 11:8
Which is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, where their LORD was crucified.

——Funny I don’t hear Egyptians complaining about that symbolism or allegory

Jesus Christ is not antisemitic. He has harsh words for unbelief though.

Quote-Our Creator we call God, properly known to me as Iah asha Iah, or YHVH, is not a racist. If you believe in Christ as Lord and Savior, YOU are now the people of the promise. Those who call themselves that, have been cut off and given a chance to repent and join with the rest of Christendom. Until they do, they are nothing but any other group of people. They were taken from the land, because they rejected The Messiah. It is not our job to help them get it all back.

Quote-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.______

God moves in mysterious ways. God put lots of crude oil resources under that “sand” in the middle east for mysterious reasons.

God promised Abraham the land of Canaan (present-day Israel and Palestine) as an eternal possession, describing its extent from the river of Egypt to the Euphrates River. After leaving Haran, God showed him the land from where he was (near Bethel), covering the north, south, east, and west, indicating that the entire region would belong to him and his descendants.

________________________

All those Old Testament promises and prophecies and Israel under King David etc were ALL types and prefiguration of Christ.

Yes...the descendants of Abraham through Christ the husband of the bride Church. Those Christian descendants are their
heirs and beneficiaries of God’s blessings which ARE NOT RESTRICTED to the middle east

Judea, Idumea, Peraea, Samaria, and Galilee combined, are not a large area.
