The only land God calls “My land” is Israel. It represents the starting point, destiny, and ultimate destination of all of humanity, not just the nation of Israel. As both a physical location and the spiritual epicenter of the world, its story and history are His story. By considering its centrality in the Bible and the prophecies pertaining to it that are more current than today’s newspapers, we come to appreciate that missing this is not missing part of the Bible’s message, it is missing the Bible.
