In the Bible we find that every one who agreed with God's plan in word and action was blessed. And those who disagreed and opposed God's plan fell into destruction.
God has not changed and neither has His plan nor His promises. The things God loved 4,000 years ago (and 2,000 years ago) are the same things He loves today. The things that displeased God 4,000 and 2,000 years ago, displeases Him today.
When we make a decision in our personal lives, in the lives of our ministry, or in the direction of our nation, it must align with God's plan.
Listed below are only a few of the multitude of scriptures stating that the Promised Land in the Middle East belongs to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Remember, God changed Jacob's name to Israel and his sons became the 12 tribes. When God promised the land to the descendants of Israel, He was referring to the Jews.
Now the LORD had said to Abram: "Get out of your country, from your family and from your father's house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."Any plan that supports the giving away of Israel's land to their enemies, or any plan that does not support them in keeping their land is opposed to God's plan.
(Gen. 12:1-3)
Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them; the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory.
(Josh. 1:2-4)
Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your descendants I will give this land." And there he built an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
(Gen. 12:7)
And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: "Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are; northward, southward, eastward, and westward; for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever.... Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you."
(Gen. 13:14-15,17)
Then He said to him, "I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it." And he said, "Lord GOD, how shall I know that I will inherit it?" So He said to him, "Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon."
Then he brought all these to Him and cut them in two, down the middle, and placed each piece opposite the other; but he did not cut the birds in two. And when the vultures came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that passed between those pieces. On the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram saying: "To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates; the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites."
(Gen. 15:7-11,17-21)
Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
(Gen. 17:8)
The LORD God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my family, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, "To your descendants I give this land," He will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
(Gen. 24:7)
Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. And I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed.
(Gen. 26:3-4)
And give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and your descendants with you, that you may inherit the land in which you are a stranger, which God gave to Abraham.
(Gen. 28:4)
And behold, the LORD stood above it and said: "I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants."
(Gen. 28:13)
The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you; and to your descendants after you I give this land.
(Gen. 35:12)
Behold, I will make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will make of you a multitude of people, and give this land to your descendants after you as an everlasting possession.
(Gen. 48:4)
I have also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were strangers.
(Ex. 6:4)

(Ex. 6:8)
But I have said to you, "You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey." I am the LORD your God, who has separated you from the peoples.
(Lev. 20:24)
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
(Lev. 25:38)
Being opposed to God's plan is not a good place to be.
