Israel's Borders?

"Rabbi, what are Israel's actual borders?" This was a question from a student during a class about The Old Testament. In many ways this is a difficult question to answer.

The United States Ambassador to Israel said "Some will say it is the Jordan River, some will say it is the Armistice Line of 1949." Today, Israel controls from the Mediterranean Sea to Jerusalem but there is a large dispute as to who controls the West Bank which in reality is Judea and Samaria. Jesus performed the majority of His miracles in Judea and Samaria.

However, the Word of God clearly answers this question. Jehovah God speaking to Abraham and his descendants {The Jews} said in Genesis 15:18, "To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates." This includes a major portion of the Middle East. The day is coming when Israel will occupy all of this land!
