Not revoked. Fulfilled.

Lex,

I do not believe it was ever fulfilled as described. Christians differ, but that’s how it reads to me.

Thanks

I should probably be more specific.

Not only do I not see a point in history where Israel fully possessed what was promised, there is a second issue...

Genesis 13:15, “for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your descendants forever.”

...How do you fulfill “forever” before time ends?

Genesis 15:18, God formalizes this covenant unconditionally and specifies the land, which Israel has never possessed in its entirety - so far. “To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates- the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites.””

Not trying to convince anyone else, but that’s why I wrote what I did.
