Blessed Hope. We may live to see the King! The happening of the great expectation of the ages, from Paul until now. Jerusalem is the
city of God and His people promised to Abraham. A cup of trembling to
the nations. Come soon Lord Jesus.

The Cave of Machpelia in Hevron was bought and paid for by Abraham. A Real Estate Transaction has to have these elements to be "legal":

1. The name of the Buyer
2. The name of the Seller
3. A description of the Property
4. The Price paid for the Property

An added advantage is if the transaction is recorded somewhere where it won't be destroyed, such as a Registry of Deeds, or a City Hall. Now, let's look at this passage from Genesis:

23 Sarah lived to be a hundred and twenty-seven years old. 2 She died at Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham went to mourn for Sarah and to weep over her.

3 Then Abraham rose from beside his dead wife and spoke to the Hittites.[a] He said, 4 “I am a foreigner and stranger among you. Sell me some property for a burial site here so I can bury my dead.”

5 The Hittites replied to Abraham, 6 “Sir, listen to us. You are a mighty prince among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our tombs. None of us will refuse you his tomb for burying your dead.”

7 Then Abraham rose and bowed down before the people of the land, the Hittites. 8 He said to them, “If you are willing to let me bury my dead, then listen to me and intercede with Ephron son of Zohar on my behalf 9 so he will sell me the cave of Machpelah, which belongs to him and is at the end of his field. Ask him to sell it to me for the full price as a burial site among you.”

10 Ephron the Hittite was sitting among his people and he replied to Abraham in the hearing of all the Hittites who had come to the gate of his city. 11 “No, my lord,” he said. “Listen to me; I give[b] you the field, and I give[c] you the cave that is in it. I give[d] it to you in the presence of my people. Bury your dead.”

12 Again Abraham bowed down before the people of the land 13 and he said to Ephron in their hearing, “Listen to me, if you will. I will pay the price of the field. Accept it from me so I can bury my dead there.”

14 Ephron answered Abraham, 15 “Listen to me, my lord; the land is worth four hundred shekels[e] of silver, but what is that between you and me? Bury your dead.”

16 Abraham agreed to Ephron’s terms and weighed out for him the price he had named in the hearing of the Hittites: four hundred shekels of silver, according to the weight current among the merchants.

17 So Ephron’s field in Machpelah near Mamre—both the field and the cave in it, and all the trees within the borders of the field—was deeded 18 to Abraham as his property in the presence of all the Hittites who had come to the gate of the city. 19 Afterward Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave in the field of Machpelah near Mamre (which is at Hebron) in the land of Canaan. 20 So the field and the cave in it were deeded to Abraham by the Hittites as a burial site.

Well, look at that!

This transaction was WITNESSED, and duly recorded in the TORAH, of all places. David Purchased the Temple Mount with similar exactitude in 2 Samuel, the 24th Chapter, and that was duly witnessed and recorded as well.

Now, to reinforce the Hebrew Ownership of The Cave of Machpelia, let's see who is buried there (This is NOT in dispute).

1. Abraham and Sarah (NOT Hagar!)
2. Isaac (NOT Ishmael!) and Rebecka
3. Jacob (NOT Esau!) and Leah.

Islam has absolutely NO claim upon either properties, and the UN is stupid and duplicitous to go along with this!

1967 when Israel captured Jerusalem just happened to be the Jubilee, when all property has to be returned to its rightful owners.

1911 was the same, when the move to return Israel to the Jews began.

2017 will again be a jubilee year, and also the beginning of Daniel’s 70th Sabbath, and the beginning of Satan’s tribulation of the saints 3.5 years later, in the spring of 2021.

Fasten your seat belts!
