Israel — Part 1

• The following is quoted from the writings of Andrew Miller.

“The land which I give them to possess it” (Deuteronomy 5:31).

The land of Israel, the promised land, is a spot of great natural beauty and fruitfulness chosen for Israel by God. It is important to note that the locality of the Jews is not the result of accident, but of divine arrangement. Hundreds of years before Israel had any national existence, God had reserved the place for His chosen people.

From the top of Mt. Pisgah, Moses was privileged to see this goodly land before he died. He was permitted to survey the future dwelling place of the Lord’s redeemed of Israel — to see the fertile valleys, the beautiful mountains, and its well-watered plains. Under the guidance of the Spirit, he describes it as “a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass” (Deuteronomy 8:7-9).
