Brother Nathanael: Do We Want a Jewish State?

There is no iota of Biblical truth that the Promised Land was for Jacob’s (Israel) generations. Isaac; the forefather of the Jews was not even born when the promise was made to Abraham and his son Ishmael. Abraham was 99 years old and his son Ishmael was 13 years of age when they were circumcised (as a seal of the covenant).  The yet to be born Isaac was never a party to the covenant in fact God who is the sole possessor of eternity did not even saw it fit to wait until Isaac is born; a puzzle I cannot comprehend unless God meant it to be for a reason. 


THE BIBLE
Genesis 17:1 “I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. The whole land of Canaan where you are now an alien, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you, and I will be their God.”
Genesis 17:10 “This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you; the covenant you are to keep: every male among you shall be circumcised: you are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.”

Genesis 17:23 “On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or bought with his money every male in his household and circumcised them as God told him.”
Genesis 17:24 “Abraham was 99 years old when he was circumcised and his son Ishmael was 13. Abraham and his son were both circumcised on that same day.”
