Israel is a nation and the people are God's chosen people. In Deuteronomy 32:10 and Zechariah 2:8, the Lord God calls Israel "the apple of his eye." And to Abraham, God said in Genesis 12:2-3, "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you. Israel is the only nation created by a sovereign act of God. Israel belongs to God himself! As Creator of heaven and earth, God had the right of owernship to give the land to whomever He chose. God gave the title deed for the land of Israel to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their descendants "FOREVER". The boundaries of the Stae of Israel are recorded in Scripture "Numbers 34:2-15, Joshua 11:16-23; 13:1-22 (NIV) Psalm 122:6 also encourages us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
