Hello,
John and Doves,
A
careful look in the Scriptures at the Abrahamic Covenant, as it is called,
between the LORD and Abraham, father of Isaac, reveals that this covenant is
both unilateral and unconditional--
as
well as eternal.
As
such, the Abrahamic Covenant was confirmed by the LORD to Abraham, to Isaac, to
Jacob,
to
David, and to the Son of David--the Lord Jesus Christ [see
various scriptures of the Miqra,
but
especially Ezekiel, chapter 34, verses 23-25].
In our
day, we see the covenant confirmed by the hand of God towards
Israel,
and
against the United States--if we don't repent.
This
is all in keeping with a unilateral covenant's intrinsic properties. Only
the covenant maker,
the
LORD, can confirm the covenant. No one else in the entire
universe has the legal standing to
confirm the Abrahamic Covenant.
Praise
be to the LORD, who sustains His covenant with Israel!!
In
HaShem,

"Netanyahu's Recognition Demand - Confirmation of
Covenant?"
Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered Monday to halt settlement construction
if the Palestinians were to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, but the
Palestinian leadership was prompt to reject the proposal.
"If the
Palestinian leadership will say unequivocally to its people that it
recognizes Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people, I will be ready to
convene my government and request a further suspension," Netanyahu said
while speaking at the opening of the third session of the 18th
Knesset.

If
the Arab leadership, or the UN, or another group/person were to confirm that
Israel is the Homeland of the Jews, as Yahweh promised to Abraham, wouldn't
this 'confirm' the Abrahamic Covenant?
Interesting that no one is
stepping up to 'confirm' that Israel is the land promised by God to
Abraham...
The
U.S. State Department on Monday dodged a direct response to Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu's offer to extend the settlement freeze in exchange for
Palestinian recognition of a Jewish state, saying that the U.S. position on
settlements hasn't changed.
