1 | Size of Jerusalem when The Promised Land | Is 60:1 | Robert Nicholson | 72235 | ||
Greetings Bonnie 518 The promised land refers to the promised by God to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. However, it was not until the Exodus from Eygpt that the people of Israel travelled through the wilderness for 40 years under the leadership of Moses. Moses was not allowed to enter the land due to his disobedience to God. God by his grace however, took Moses up into Mount Nebo from which he could see the land which the Lord had promised them. In Deuteronomy 34:1to3 we are given a clear explanation of its boundaries. If you look up the following site at http://biblia.com/jesusm/maps.htm Click on "Old and New testament maps. The map is called Mount Nebo which will give you an idea of the size of the original promised land which stretches out in every direction from what we see today. The time of the Exodus from Eygpt based on Biblical chronology is 1446 B.C. and Moses death which followed his view of the land from Nebo was 1406 B.C. Other dates - the beginning of Isaiah's ministry (the year that King Uzziah died Isa.6:1) was 739B.C. If you look at the map even at this time you will find that the land was smaller due losses. By the time of our Lord Jesus Christ Roman rule prevailed. It was not until about 1948 that Israel became an independent nation again. I hope this helps. |

bonnie, I think I messed up and didn't send this right the first time. If this is a repeat, forgive me. When Abraham was coming home from a battle, he met Melchisedec, a Gentile king, of Salem, (Jeru- salem), and was a follower of the Most High God. He is mentioned again in Hebrews Ch. 7 V:1. Salem (Jerusalem), was a city even then big enough for a king in old Canaan, long before the Israelites ever thought about going there, although God had promised Abraham an inheritance. It has been around a long time, although under different names. |
