Understanding the Conflict Between Israel and Palestine November 6, 2023
The Bible tells us that earth belongs to God according to:
“The earth is the Lord’s, everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.”
Israel was formerly the land of Canaanites. God allowed the Israelite’s to conquer the Canaanites (See below).
“However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy[a] them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you.”
The sins of the Canaanites can be found in Leviticus 18, which is the reason God destroyed and Judged them, thus giving the land to the Israelite’s.
The Canaanites came from the bloodline of Ham, Noah’s grandson, found in Genesis 9:18.
Noah cursed his grandson in Genesis 9:20-29. Specifically, in verse Genesis 9:24, many scholars question what Ham did to Noah. According to the Strong’s Concordance, the word “done” is the Strong’s number 6213, and the Hebrew word “asah” is pronounced aw-saw, which means “to do or make.” Therefore, this means Canaan did something to his grandfather to receive a curse.
Moses was never allowed to enter the promised land because of his lack of faith with the Israelites, who were exiled out of Egypt, according to Exodus 14-17.
Moses was only allowed to view the promised land from a distance, however, he was not allowed to visit it.
Moses died in Abarim Range on Mount Nebo in Moab, across from Jericho, a land that God delivered into the hands of Joshua, son of Nun.
Abraham was Terah’s son, originally a Chaldean, who was black in Genesis 11:31 and Genesis 15:7, who was given the promised land. Chaldean is located in Iraq today; it is known as southern Babylonian. According to “Got Questions“, who gives a demystified analysis of Chaldeans here.
In contrast, According to Henry Kwadwo Amoako (2022), “The Chaldeans of Babylon and The Black-Headed Sumerians”. The first writings from ancient Babylon originated from Sumerians and Babylon (now Iraq) which were pagan polytheistic religions that went against the principles of God. Ancient Chaldeans were black, which would make sense being that Sarah chose her maidservant who was also black. There were relics of prehistoric Blacks discovered in the region, whose earliest civilization was Sumerians, described in Babylonian inscriptions as Black-faced people. The mainland of the Chaldeans was in southern Mesopotamia and included the city of Babylon.
Next, according to History, the location of Ur, where Babylon took over, it was established in 1894 by Amorite king Sumuabum. We also see that according to “World Atlas” Babylon is the capital of Mesopotamia which is a capital that uses the languages and cultures of Egyptians according to “Britannica”
The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.
2 “I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.[a]
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you, I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you
The word “Nation” is Strongs #1471, which means “gowy” in Hebrew and is pronounced “go’-ee” and means a “foreign nation, a gentile, heathen, people”. What this means is that God is going to make a foreign nation come from the descendants of Abraham. Therefore, Abraham was considered a foreigner.
Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there. 14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward, they will come out with great possessions. 15 You, however, will go to your ancestors in peace and be buried at a good old age. 16 In the fourth generation, your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.” 17 When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces. 18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, “To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi[e] of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates— 19 the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, 20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, 21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites.
Therefore, God gave parts of Egypt to Abraham’s descendants, in addition, to the promised land. God would bless blacks to inherit the promised land as a foreign people.
Bringing an end to this long controversy of God’s people being another race other than “black”. Primarily, to combat dogmatism which is opinion vs. facts. All facts were analyzed that support evidentiary claims that the “chosen people” of Abraham’s descendants are indeed “Black.” You must ask God to reveal to you by giving you an understanding of the interpretation of Revelation 3:9 below.
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Let’s Shift into the Discussion of Hebrews also called Israelites
Hebrew is a name given to the Israelites by other people.
Hebrew refers to Abraham and is listed and recorded as the Habir people in Egypt in the 12th and 13th century.
There is no letter J in Greek or Hebrew. The “Dead Sea scrolls”. are Hebrew scrolls traced back to 70 BC which is comprised of the Hebrew Bible.
Therefore, in order to interpret the Hebrew scrolls, one must rely on scholars who can interpret the ancient language of Hebrew to understand the word of God.
This means “Joshua” and “Jesus” are the same names. One name is translated from Hebrew into English, the other from Greek into English. It is also interesting to note that the names “Joshua” and “Isaiah” read in Hebrew are essentially the same names in Hebrew. They mean “savior” and “The Lord (Yah) Is Salvation”
Let’s Dive Deeper
The “Truth”
HAPIRU hä’ bĭ rōō. A people known as “habiru” or “hapiru” appear in cuneiform texts dated from the 20th to the 18th century b.c. in
southern Mesopotamia, Asia Minor, and in the Haran and Mari areas. are
identical to the Biblical Hebrews. That is a more inclusive name than Israelite is evident from the fact that Eber (Gen 10:24), a son of Shelah and a grandson of Shem,
for whom the Hebrews are named, lived eight generations before Jacob (Israel)
for whom the Israelites are named. In this sense all Israelites are iberi, “Hebrews,” but all Hebrews need not be Israelites.
What this means is that there are Hebrews outside the established social order of
Israelites in the non-biblical text are mercenaries who are Motivated solely by a desire for monetary or material gain. as in the text from Babylon. Letters from Abdi-Hiba of Jerusalem to Akhenaton of Egypt complain that the habiru were posing a threat to the status quo in Canaan. Some scholars see in these references the Canaanite version of the conquest of Canaan under Joshua.
There is absolutely no relationship between Habiru also called Apiru and the Messianic Hebrew Jews of Judaism. Those Hebrews are some of the world elitists and believe that they will enter the Kingdom of God by their FLAWED works and DEEDS all the while denouncing Jesus.
Therefore, I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

This is due to the sins of the Canaanites and Amorites, which can be found in Genesis 15:16. This promise made to Abraham was confirmed by God. When the Jews was exiled from Egypt God promised them the “promised land” which can be found in multiple scriptures, “Exodus 6:8“; “Genesis 12:7“; “Genesis 26:5“; “Genesis 13:15“; “Genesis 15:7“; “Genesis 15:18“; “Genesis 17:18“; “Genesis 50:24“; “Leviticus 20:24“; “Number 14:8“; “Deuteronomy 6:10“; “Deuteronomy 31:20“; “Joshua 5:6“; and “Judges 2:1“.
Israel used to be called Canaan. God sought to destroy the Philistines, according to Zephaniah 2:5
Woe to you who live by the sea, you Kerethite people; the word of the LORD is against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines. He says, “I will destroy you, and none will be left.”
Canaan is considered Israel today. The Philistines are enemies of the Israelites are listed below according to the Bible:
“With one mind, they plot together; they ally against you—the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites, Byblos, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre. Even Assyria has joined them to reinforce Lot’s descendants.”
Ishmael, Abraham’s son, born from Sarah’s maidservant Hagar, was an Egyptian woman according to Genesis 16.
Ishmael also had an Egyptian wife according to scriptures Genesis 21:8-21.
Ishmael grew to mock them and Sarah wanted him out in Genesis 21:9-21. The attitude of Ishmael caused Abraham to banish him.
The Ishmaelites later became enemies of Israel.
Edom, Ishmael, Amalek, Moab, Ammon, Philistia, Tyre, and Assyria are people who are enemies of Israel. The cities that they occupy are Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Sudan, Morocco, Tunisia, and Palestine.
Some of the Anakites were giants according to Deuteronomy 2:10 and 2:21; in Deuteronomy 9:2; some of the Anakites were descendants of the “Sons of God,” which were mentioned in Genesis 6:4; Genesis 5; Men of Renown is to Honor, Strong’s #8034.
Genesis 5 discusses “Sons of God, which were from Seth to Noah. Luke chapter 3 also confirms Jesus was born from the bloodline of the Sons of God –please begin at verse 38 and go up to verse 23 from Seth to Jesus:
And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
24 Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph,
25 Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge,
26 Which was the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda,
27 Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri,
28 Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er,
29 Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi,
30 Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim,
31 Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David,
32 Which was the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson,
33 Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda,
34 Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor,
35 Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala,
36 Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech,
37 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan,
38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
On the contrary, some scholars indicate that the “Sons of God are Demons,” which cannot be true as they state because scriptures debunk these claims in Romans 8:14, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” In Job 38:7, the Sons of God shout for joy, and Romans 8:19 says that we all are waiting for the Sons of God to be revealed.
We see that God gave us the ability to have power to become sons of God,
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Next, in Job 2:1, the Sons of God present themselves to God, and “also came along” was Satan (this is suggestive, which means Satan presented himself to God separate from the Sons of God) not accompanied by the Sons of God presented themselves. Some giants are the “Sons of God” mentioned in Numbers 13:33, Joshua 15:13, and Joshua 21:11.
“No Anakites were left in Israelite territory; only in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod did any survive. So Joshua took the entire land, just as the Lord had directed Moses, and he gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their tribal divisions. Then, the land had rest from war.
Solomon built God’s temple in Israel according to 1 Kings 5 and 1 Kings 6. Solomon spent 7 years building the Lord’s temple according to 1 Kings 6:38.
Judah defeated the Philistines in Gaza, according to Judges 1:18.
However, in Judges 15:9, the Philistines had occupied Gaza during Samson’s days. In Judges 16:21-31 they gouged out Samson’s eyes. The Philistines controlled Gaza during Samuel’s days, too 1 Samuel 6:17.God’s curse on Philistines Amos 1:6-7; Jeremiah 25:17-20; Zachariah 2:4; Zachariah 9:5; Isaiah 14:28-30.
King Sargon of Assyria conquered the Philistines. In addition, Alexander the Great, who is mentioned in Daniel 11:3-4 also subdued the Philistines in Gaza. Johnathon Maccabeus gave Gaza to Israel.
Two kingdoms were split: Israel and Judah; according to 2 Kings 24:1-7 Judah was overrun by enemies. Israel and Judah were destroyed, which can be found in 2 Kings 25.
Now, the Chaldeans (Iraq – Arab) were extremely wise and intelligent. God used the Chaldeans, who were also known as the Babylonians/Arab/Iraq people, to defeat Israel and Judah due to the sins of Israel’s King, Manasseh, which can be found in 2 Kings 21.
2 Kings 21:6 indicates that King Manasseh sacrificed his son in the fire, practiced divination, sought omens, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, arousing his anger.
However, God delivered the Israelites into the hands of the Philistines for 40 years, according to Judges 13:1.
The Bible says Israel and Judah will be destroyed by the Chaldeans (Babylonians/Iraq) in Jeremiah 51. Jeremiah 51 has been partially completed. Continue reading to find out more.
According to an article published by “Got Questions,” Palestinians were referred to as residents between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. Similarly, to the way Northerners and Southerners address each other to a specific region. They are considered Muslims brought from Bosnia, the Balkans, and the Caucasus by the Turks in the 16th to 19th centuries and from the Sudan, Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon by the British in the 20th century. The majority of Palestinians are Arab, and the biblical evidence suggests that they could also be descendants of Babylonians who are considered Arabs.
In Deuteronomy 2:23, Avvites are the Palestinians that lived in Hazerim, or “the villages” or “encampments,” on the southwest corner of the sea coast. The Israelites ended up conquering that land in Joshua 10:40-41
Gaza, Ashkelon (Ascalon), Ashdod, Gath, and Ekron known as Philistia, is the land where the Philistines resided. In Jeremiah 47, the Philistines are destroyed.
Seven battles emerged between Israel and the Philistines also known as Paletines:
- Shephelah (2 Chronicles 28),
- Aphek (1 Samuel 4),
- Eben-Ezez (1 Samuel 7:13–14),
- Michmash (1 Samuel 14),
- David and Goliath (1 Samuel 17),
- Mount Gilboa (1 Samuel 31), and
- Hezekiah’s defeat of the Philistines (2 Kings 18:5–8).
According to an article by the Washington Institute for Near East Policies (2021):
- In 2017, 44% of West Bank respondents wanted to end the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza and establish a two-state solution with Israel
- In 2020, West Bank support in Palestine occupation increased by two-thirds, even higher than in Gaza, which was 56% support.
The article indicated that there is no Palestinian support that will aid in permanent peace with Israel.
In 1947, the United Nations classified Israel into two states: Jewish and Arab. According to the article published by the “Guardian,”. This action led to the holocaust of nearly 700,000 Palestinians that were expelled or fled – about 85% of the Arab population of the territory captured by Israel”.
Israel expanded their territories into Gaza, the West Bank, and other Arab land. Islamic movements such as the “Hamas” emerged from these events, and many other Muslim groups formed resistant to Israel’s expansion and occupation.
In conclusion, the Philistines who are also referred to as Palestinians, Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, Ekron, and Avvites occupied the land of Canaan before the Israelites arrived. The former name of Israel was Canaan (see photo above ‘The Holy Land’). These Philistines became the dominating power force in the land of Canaan.
Abraham’s descendants, the Israelites, were foreigners in the promised land, according to scriptures written in Genesis 17:8.
Nonetheless, God owned all land and gave it to the Israelites to be their promised land. There was nothing the Philistines could do about that because the Israelites had been given the land by God.
Subsequently, during all of this discourse, God continues to allow Philistines access to the land due to Israelis’ disobedience to God, as mentioned in Numbers 33:51-53. The Philistines will continue to be a thorn in the side, and their gods shall be a snare to the Israelites according to:
Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you, but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
Nonetheless, Babylon will be destroyed. We see the evidence suggests that the Babylonians are Arab, which means they are Palestinians.
Let’s dive deeper into the Bible about Babylon.
In Jeremiah 51:5 God declares that he has not abandoned Judah although the land is full of guilt. Subsequently, Jeremiah 51:6 the Lord advises Judah to flee from Babylon. However, Israel will become “Babylon the Great” when the man of lawlessness enters God’s temple. The AntiChrist will reign in Israel after he has exalted himself above God in His Holy Temple.
Babylon will be destroyed. Babylon made everyone drink of its adulteries, which refers to the rebellion of God in the worship of other gods.
A second angel followed and said, “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great, which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.”
God gave Babylon the Great His fury.
The great city split into three parts, and the nations’ cities collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.
A great rebellion against God happens in Genesis 11:1-9 also, the great falling away happens in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 and the man of lawlessness is revealed.
The two witnesses in Revelation 11 emerge and have the power to shut the heavens, including preventing it from raining and turning water into blood. The two witnesses will trample the Holy City according to Revelation 11:1-2 for 42 months (3 1/2 years).
The Antichrist will conquer the Holy City that will be called the Great City (Babylon the Great), and he will exalt himself into the Holy temple according to Daniel 11:36. The man of lawlessness will enter God’s temple and declare that he is God 2 Thessalonians 2:4. Jerausalen will fall according to Revelation 17:1-5.
The Great City will rule over the Kings of the earth according to Revelation 17:18 but will fall during the battle of Armageddon according to Revelation 16:16-20.
In Revelation 18:9-10 Babylon the Great is destroyed.
Jesus Christ Returns.
“After these things, I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God! 2 For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.” 3 Again they said, “Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!” 4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, “Amen! Alleluia!” 5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying, “Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!”
6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! 7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” 8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
9 Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.” 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
Christ on a White Horse
11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS.
The Beast and His Armies Defeated
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God, 18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, [i]free and slave, both small and great.”
19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. 20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh”
