20. The continuous Jewish presence
in Israel for over 3,000 years
“Who can challenge the rights of the Jews in Palestine? Good Lord, historically
it is really your country.” - Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi, Mayor of Jerusalem, 1899.
“It is, indeed, not the birth of a nation, for the Jewish nation through centuries
of oppression and captivity have preserved their sentiment of nationality as
few peoples could...it is the rebirth of a nation.” - Lord Robert Cecil, 1918
“We Arabs, especially the educated among us, look with deepest sympathy on
the Zionist movement...We will wish the Jews a hearty welcome home... Our
two movements compliment one another.” - Emir Faisal, a leader of the
Arab world, 1919 Extracted from ‘Israel
101’ material.
“It is manifestly right that the scattered Jews should have a national center
and national home and be reunited, and where else but in Palestine, with
which for 3,000 years they have been intimately and profoundly associated?”
-Winston Churchill, 1920

2. When God made this covenant with Abraham He promised his descendants ownership of the
land of Israel as an everlasting possession - Genesis 17:8. This promise of ownership was
transferred through Isaac and Jacob to the 12 tribes of Israel - Genesis 26:3-4; 35:12; Psalm
105:8-11.

Jewish peoples own land - Ezekiel 36:7,24; 37:21; and the Jewish people as My people -
Ezekiel 38:16; Joel 3:2.

which they will never be uprooted again - Isaiah 11:11-14; Jeremiah 16:14-16; Ezekiel 11:17;
Amos 9:14-15. The promise of the regathering specifically includes Judea and Samaria -
Jeremiah 31:5,14; (Ezekiel 36:1-15).
5. The Jewish people will return in unbelief, their return being a pre-condition for God to pour
out His Spirit on them - Ezekiel 11:16-20; 20:42-43; 36:24-28; 37:12-14; 39:25-29; Jeremiah
