I sent a friend the borders of Israel as outlined in Numbers 34. (Actually, Israel's biblical claim to the Gaza Strip is weak to non-existent -- hmm...wouldn't PFAW and ADL have gone haywire if Robertson had said THAT!)

Israel's claim to the West Bank is solid -- and I have heard Muslims on TV say that they accept the Old Testament.

My friend responded that Jesus rendered most of the Old Testament void.

I said that was one interpretation.

Of course the other objection is that the modern-day Israel is a totally different entity from the Israel of Biblical times.

[Luke21]

Robertson is a money grubbing nut who makes all Christians look like fanatics and fools.

All those parts where the Jews get anything?

Israel's claim to the West Bank is solid

Biblically speaking, yes. Even so, the Heritage Park is not on the West Bank. It is 125 acres on the northeast shore of the Sea of Galilee. The location of the Sermon on the Mount, and the site of the Heritage Park, is in the Golan Heights. The native people there are Syrian, and they are still citizens of Syria, not Israel. Israel took the land from Syria during the Six Day War.

Israel is obligated under international law to return the land to Syria, the same as we returned Germany and Japan, even though we conquered them.
