The land of Israel was the inheritance of the Jewish people.

“Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, My people Israel; they shall take possession of you, and you shall be their inheritance; no more shall you bereave them of children.” Ezekiel 36:12

God assures the land of Israel that the Jewish people would once again walk on her and have possession of her. The earthly land of Israel is indeed the inheritance that the Jewish people receive, and the land of Israel would no longer deprive the Jewish people of their occupation there. In 1948, after WW2 in 1945, the State of Israel was declared upon the land of Israel. The Jewish people inhabited the land, took control of its government, and indeed inherited the earthly promised land.

Since the coming of Jesus Christ, we know that the promised land of the Old Testament is much more than the earthly land of Israel. We know that the promised land is created for more than just flesh and blood Jewish people, and the land of Israel is far from being the Kingdom of God. The promised land is for whoever believes in Jesus the Christ and is an eternal place in the new heaven and earth. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

Because of their rejection of Jesus Christ, the only land the Jewish people inherit as their possession is the State of Israel. All of the promised blessings made to Israel have been transferred to the followers of Jesus Christ. In fact, there are no blessings for the Jewish people mentioned in the New Testament. God gathers the Jewish people to the State of Israel as the place where He unleashes the fury of His judgment on them, “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. As men gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow fire on it, to melt it; so I will gather you in My anger and in My fury, and I will leave you there and melt you.” Ezekiel 22:19-20

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
