Depending on how you interpret the language, the Promised Land runs from the Euphrates to the "river of Egypt," which is the Nile or some stream along the west of Sinai.

Which means that the Israelis are obligated by Scripture to conquer just about all of Syria, all of Jordan except the desert, and large chunks of Egypt and Iraq. Anybody who considers settling for anything less is a heretic! (And will apparently be "stroked" by God.)

What is so biblical about the 1948 or 1967 boundaries that we must not consider transgressing against them? Both were ceasefire lines, nothing else.

Actually, that is not correct. You shouldn't trust an English translation that translates it this way. The 'River of Egypt' in your English Bible is the Egypt Wadi, a brook that runs in a line that roughly matches the southern Gaza line.

It is not about establishing the borders, but in surrendering them. Kicking Jews out of Jewish lands is a dangerous thing. The fact is, Judea is Jewish land. Gaza is the possession of Judah (given to Caleb). The Bible records how Hebron was purchased. It devotes an entire chapter to it. Hebron was given away two years ago. the David bought Omri's threshing floor. He would not accept it as a gift... it now houses the world biggest abmomination: the Dome of the Rock.

The tomb of Samuel the prophet is in Hamastinian hands. How is that possible? The hills of Ephraim are trampled by interlopers - why?

The Land belongs to the Almighty. He deeded it to to the Descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Period. Anyone who thinks they can mess with it, will suffer for it. And there are more than a few Scriptures that point to that very thing.
