Who Owns the Land of Israeli?
By Richard Kelly Hoskins
There is much confusion over the ownership of the land of old Israel in the Near East. God made a covenant with Abram (Genesis 15:18-21), to give his seed for the land “from the river in Egypt [Nile] unto the great river, the river Euphrates.” The only seed born to Abram while he had that name was Ishmael (Genesis 16). The present descendants of Ishmael living in that area base their claim on this promise.
