Welcome to Prophecy Q & A with Jimmy DeYoung!
No. Not at all. God promised the Jewish people a certain piece of real estate. There are 38 passages of Scripture that deal with the biblical borders for the Jewish people. The promise comes in the Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 15) and is reconfirmed in the Land Covenant (Deuteronomy 30), but the additional 36 passages give us the details. The land promised to the Jews starts at the river in Egypt and goes northward up the Mediterranean coast taking in the Sinai peninsula, all of Israel and Lebanon to the Euphrates River, all of Syria, all of Jordan, three fourths of Iraq, all of Kuwait, and three fourths of Saudi Arabia. This is the land that God promised the Jewish people, ten times what they have today. They will get this land in the Millennial Kingdom. The Bible says that these are forever covenants. “Olam” in Hebrew means “forever,” which is how long God will give the Jewish people this land.
Believers will be in the New Jerusalem. Revelation 21 talks about the New Jerusalem, and we will be living there. It will not be on earth. If you draw the New Jerusalem 1,500 miles wide, long, and high, it would cover the Middle East, so there wouldn’t be any land promise to be fulfilled. It will be hovering over the earth. Ezekiel 37:26 and 28 says that the Temple that Jesus Christ builds when He comes back to the earth (Zechariah 6:12) and rules and reigns from (Zechariah 6:13) will be on the earth forever, referring to the old earth and the new earth as well. Revelation 21:22 says that in the New Jerusalem, there is no Temple because God and Jesus are there.
Jimmy DeYoung was a prophecy teacher and journalist who travelled the country and the world educating the Body of Christ of the future events foretold in God’s prophetic Word. His goal was to equip Christians with the knowledge and understanding of what God’s Word says will happen someday soon, so that they can make better decisions today. Dr. DeYoung went home to be with his Savior on August 15, 2021.
