The land promise to national Israel, contrary to what you have been told, was absolutely fulfilled under Joshua.
The people were not all driven out, but the land was conquered,
and that was the promise.

Joshua 11:15 As the Lord commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; HE LEFT NOTHING UNDONE of all that the Lord commanded Moses.

Joshua 11:23 So Joshua TOOK THE WHOLE LAND, according to all that the Lord said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.

The land covenant that was given to Abraham was fulfilled under David and Solomon:

2 Samuel 8:3 David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.

1 kings 4:21 And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.

Here is what Nehemiah had to say about it all.

Nehemiah 9:7 Thou art the Lord the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;
8 And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed, and hast PERFORMED THY WORDS; for thou art righteous:

Nehemiah 9:23 Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst promised to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.
24 So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they would.

You're going to make me repeat myself AGAIN?!

And yet I have already shown you from Joshua 13:6 where Jesus said HE would be the one to fulfill and complete the job so that they could possess ALL the land. The Bible tells you that a day would come when there would be absolutely be no more Canaanites in the land, that didn't happen in the book of Joshua.

Joshua 13:6 - All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephothmaim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.

No, Joshua 13:6 was not completely fulfilled during the period of Joshua’s leadership or the subsequent conquest under the Judges, as the Israelites failed to fully drive out the remaining inhabitants due to incomplete obedience.
  • Conditional Promise: God’s promise to drive out the Sidonians and hill country inhabitants was conditional upon Israel’s fidelity; because they failed to maintain this covenant, the promise remained unfulfilled.
  • Partial Subjugation: While the power of the Canaanites was broken, they were not fully dispossessed; the Sidonians were only brought into a state of comparative subjection during the reigns of David and Solomon, but they were never entirely expelled.

And in case you're still forgetful and can't remember where the Lord said there would be no more Canaanites in the land, here it is...

Zechariah 14:21 -

21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.

No you will have to stop repeating yourself now, because your case is not valid.

God gave them that land and they conquered and possessed it.
God did not promise that they would drive all the people out, and is not bound to your murderous predictions.
Nehemiah says that God has performed His words in this regard,
Yet it seems that your hatred of the people of the Middle East has not yet been satisfied even 3000 years after the event.
This is religious extremism in the name of Jesus.

Joshua 13:6 says otherwise. The Bible tells you the boundary lines of what the promised land was and God/Jesus said He would give it to Israel as a possession. And Joshua 13:6 tells you which countries God/Jesus is going to drive people out of HIMSELF in order to give it to them.

I don't hate the people of the Middle East, I just know what God/Jesus promised to Israel, and you would be wise to listen to God.

Your hatred for Israel and the Jews is what keeps you from being able to accept God/Jesus and His Word.

Does that mean you believe Jesus when He says:

Luke 24:44 - And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

@OMC, I see you're quick on the bandwagon to like Beekeeper's last post. Are you ever going to answer my question above?

Are you going to cower in a corner and reject God's Word too?! What kind of theologian or mentor does that make you?

Zechariah 13:8-9

8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.

9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

So, now, @Beekeeper and @OMC, are you going to continue to reject God's word on that?!

Not exactly relevant to whether or not the land promises to Abraham and national Israel were fulfilled though is it?

I already showed you how Joshua 13:6 has NOT been fulfilled and I've already shown you how it will all go down in Zechariah 13:8-9.

You and OMC act as though the Bible didn't tell us already that Jesus was going to be returning to earth with the wrath of God, because He is God.

The Bible explicitly states that Jesus returns in wrath and executes God’s judgment, particularly in the book of Revelation. Key verses describing this event include:

  • Revelation 19:11-16: Describes Jesus on a white horse, called "Faithful and True," judging and making war. It states that from his mouth comes a sharp sword to strike down the nations and that he treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.
  • Revelation 19:15: Reiterates that he will rule them with a rod of iron and tread the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
  • 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8: States that the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel.
  • Revelation 6:16-17: Depicts the terror of this day, where people cry out for mountains to fall on them to hide them from the wrath of the Lamb and the day of their wrath.
  • Matthew 24:30-31: While less explicit on "wrath" in the immediate text, it describes his coming with power and glory to gather the elect, a context often linked with the judgment of the wicked in parallel passages like Isaiah 66:15-16, which describes the Lord coming with fire and sword to render anger with fury.

Are you going to reject those verses too??!!
