The Promised Land
A land that has a biblical inheritance that is never ending. |
A mixture of world and biblical history dating back for thousands of years, Israel's secrets are still being unveiled as time goes on.
Israel in it's whole, consist of 12 tribes who descended from the sons of Jacob who was later named Israel. “Israel” is the name that God gave Jacob (Genesis 32:28). His twelve sons are Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin (Genesis 35:23-26; Exodus 1:1–4; 1 Chronicles 2:1–2). When the tribes inherited the Promised Land, Levi’s descendants did not receive a territory for themselves (Joshua 13:14). Instead, they became priests and had several cities scattered throughout all of Israel. Joseph’s tribe was divided in two—Jacob had adopted Joseph’s two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, essentially giving Joseph a double portion for his faithfulness in saving the family from famine (Genesis 47:11–12). This means the tribes who received territory in the Promised Land were Reuben, Simeon, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh. In some places in Scripture, the tribe of Ephraim is referred to as the tribe of Joseph (Numbers 1:32–33)

Israeli National AnthemAs long as the Jewish spirit is yearning deep in the heart,
With eyes turned toward the East, looking toward Zion, Then our hope - the two-thousand-year-old hope - will not be lost: To be a free people in our land, The land of Zion and Jerusalem. |
Our roots come together in one spiritual stem, sons of Abraham through faith. |
Your heart yearns for the truth and finds it in the One who is the Beginning and the End who walked this earth and this land preaching the gospel of the kingdom of heaven. By His testimony and teachings, we go throughout Israel to explore them in a more personal experience, sharing in the goodness of His presence wherever we go. Walking on this holy ground of Israel, we get to walk where our fathers walked, on the land that was chosen by God for His people.
Galations 3:29 - "And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise." |
