Introduction: The theory of premillennialism demands the restoration of the Jews to Palestine and the reconstruction of the Jewish system. Rex Turner states, “Their doctrine is to the effect that the Israelites are to be restored to Canaan land, the city of Jerusalem and the temple are to be rebuilt, that national Israel is to be reinstituted, and that the Gentiles will come bowing as subvervients unto the receptive Israelites.” All this is to begin at return of Christ just prior to His alleged one thousand years’ reign.Whether or not the land promise has been fulfilled is a very important matter. If the land promise is NOT fulfilled, then: the Old Testament prophecies are false, the prophets are not reliable, the prophecies are yet to be fulfilled, and the Jews can put confidence in the flesh (Ph. 3:3), and God respects the Jews above all others (Rm 2:11; Ac. 10:34-35). If the land promise IS already fulfilled, then: the prophecies are true, reliable, and worthy, both Jew and Gentile are one in Christ (Ga. 3:27-29), and we need not look for a future fulfillment.God promises Abraham three things (Ge. 12:1-3): Abraham would have many descendants, this nation would own and occupy a land, and a universal blessing will come to all mankind, out of Abraham’s line (the Jews). In Genesis 15:9-17, God ratifies His covenant with Abraham. In the way this is done, God places sole responsibility for the covenant upon Himself. That is, there was nothing Abraham could do or fail to do that would void the covenant God made. Also in this passage, the boundaries are set for the land that the Jews will eventually occupy. For a detailed list of the boundaries, see Deuteronomy 34. Other passages that deal with the promise of land: Deuteronomy 30:3-5 and Ezekiel 20:42-44.
