Who Owns the Land of Israel?
John Hagee
In every real estate dispute, determining the rightful owner starts with the original title deed. When it comes to the land of Israel, the matter is settled in the very first verse of the Bible: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1 NKJV). God Almighty is the original owner. And as Creator, He made a covenant—not with Ishmael, not with any other nation—but with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For over 3,500 years, that covenant has stood unbroken and unchanged.
Psalm 24:1 declares, “The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.” God, the Owner of all, gave Israel exclusively and eternally to the Jewish people. This is not up for negotiation. It is not based on political trends or media narratives. It’s written in the Word of God, confirmed through prophecy, and sealed in blood covenant. Our responsibility today is not to debate—but to obey. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Stand with God. Stand with Israel.
