Only One Place On Earth



Only One Place On Earth
Author: Mark V. Markov

Only one place on earth
Was directly given
And assigned by
The Lord God Creator
When Yahweh from the cloud
Spoke to Moses
To a people He chose as His own

The seed of Abraham
Through whom
He said that all nations
Will be blessed

Who can argue with the living God
And take away the land of His people
Unless He himself allowed it
As it happened before
For God said blessed is he who blesses you
And cursed is he that curses you

God also said
That He will bring them back
And they will live, prosper
And flourish there again

This means that the land of Israel
Always belongs to Jewish people
Assigned and given to them by
Lord God Creator Himself

Remember Jesus Christ
Was a Jew
Confirmed by the Samaritan woman,
Of all races on earth
He was born into this world
In the town of Bethlehem
In the land of Israel

The Savior of all Mankind
Lord Jesus Christ
Yeshua Hamashiach
Only Begotten Son of God the Father Yahweh

Came to Bethlehem
Born as a baby
Child of virgin Mary
In the town of Bethlehem in Israel,
Of all places on earth
He came to Israel
The town of Bethlehem
Immanuel God is with us
As Prophesied in the book of Isaiah

Being Jewish Himself
He lived among the Jews
His disciples were Jewish.
Apostle Paul was Jewish also,
From the tribe of Benjamin

Mary the mother of Jesus Christ was Jewish
Joseph the earthly father of Jesus Christ was Jewish
All disciples and Mary the mother of Jesus Christ
Were Messianic Jews
Yes they were all also Pentecostals
Since they all were baptized
With the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues
On the day of Pentecost.

No other country land ever
Was assigned directly by
Lord God Creator
To a particular people
From all people
All over the world

How can then
Some claim the land of Israel
Belongs to someone else who settled there later
Since God Himself said
That He will bring them back into the land of Israel.

The living Lord God Creator
Who gave that particular land to Israel
As prophets prophesied
Long ago

God took the Jewish people out
And placed them all over the world
But said that He will gather them together
And place them back into the land of Israel
This means that the land of Israel
By God himself was forever given to the Jewish people.

At that time
As long as they remained faithful to God
They lived there
But when they disobeyed God
He drove them out.

Yet in the future He said
That He will bring them back
And all nations will come to worship
In Jerusalem

Where people from all over the world come to worship God
And even Jesus Christ Himself will someday return
Into the city of Jerusalem
As the newly created Heavenly city in heaven
Is also called New Jerusalem

If you believe in Jesus Christ
Then you must accept the fact
That land of Israel is forever given
By Lord God Creator
To the Jewish people

The descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
Now of course God said to Moses
To allow others to live there also
For Israel was a stranger in Egypt
As said in the Holy Scriptures

Only one place on earth
Was directly given
And assigned by
Lord God Creator

To a people He chose as His own
Glory be to Him forever
For His great mercy and love.
For His great mercy and love
Endures forever...



Genesis 12:1-3
English Standard Version
The Call of Abram

1 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.

2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”


John 4:7-9 ESV
7 A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”

8 (For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.)

9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)


Ezekiel 36:8, 10-11 ESV

But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches,
and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.
And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it:
and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built.
And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit:
and I will settle you after your old estates,
and will do better unto you than at your beginnings:
and ye shall know that I am the LORD.


Ezekiel 36:21-22 ESV
But I had pity for mine holy name,
which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD;
I do not do this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake,
which you have profaned among the heathen, whither you went.
 

Ezekiel 36:23-24 ESV
23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen,
which you have profaned in the midst of them;
and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, says the Lord GOD,
when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
Not for Israel's sake but for His name sake

24 For I will take you from among the heathen,
and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

Ezekiel 36:25-27 ESV
Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean:
from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you:
and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh,
and I will give you an heart of flesh.
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes,
and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

Ezekiel 36:28 ESV
And you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers

Ezekiel 36:33-34 ESV
Thus says the Lord GOD;
In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities
I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be built.
And the desolate land shall be tilled,
whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.

Ezekiel 37:4-6 ESV
Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones,
and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
Thus says the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold,
I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.
 And I will lay sinews upon you,
and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin,
and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
And breath come into them, they lived and stood upon their feet.

Ezekiel 37:10 ESV
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived,
and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
The dry bones represent the entire house of Israel who lay hopeless and cut off from the world.

Ezekiel 37:11 ESV
Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold,
they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
The dry bones prophesied Israel restoration and placing in their own land

Ezekiel 37:14 ESV
And shall put my spirit in you, and you shall live,
and I shall place you in your own land: then shall you know that I the LORD have spoken it,
and performed it, says the LORD.
Their own land is the land of their fathers; land of Abraham

Ezekiel 37:16-17 ESV
Moreover, you son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it,
For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick,
and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim,
and for all the house of Israel his companions.
And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
The joining of sticks is the making of Israel to be one nation

Ezekiel 37:21-22 ESV
And say unto them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold,
I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone,
and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land.
And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel;
and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations,
neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.


Ezekiel 36:8, 10-11 ESV
But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches,
and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.
And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it:
and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built.
And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit:
and I will settle you after your old estates,
and will do better unto you than at your beginnings:
and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

Ezekiel 36:30-37 ESV
And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field,
that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen. Thus says the Lord GOD;
I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them;
I will increase them with men like a flock.

Hosea 6:1-2 ESV
Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn,
and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up,
and we shall live in his sight.

and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities
I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be built.
And the desolate land shall be tilled,
whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all


Genesis 15:17-21 (ESV)

17 When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.

18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your offspring I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates,

19 the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,

20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,

21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites and the Jebusites.”

Zechariah 8 (ESV)

The Coming Peace and Prosperity of Zion

1 And the word of the Lord of hosts came, saying,

2 "Thus says the Lord of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy,
and I am jealous for her with great wrath.

3 Thus says the Lord: I have returned to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem,
and Jerusalem shall be called the faithful city, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts,
the holy mountain.

4 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
Old men and old women shall again sit in the streets of Jerusalem,
each with staff in hand because of great age.

5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.

6 Thus says the Lord of hosts: If it is marvelous in the sight of the remnant of this people
in those days, should it also be marvelous in my sight, declares the Lord of hosts?

7 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east country
and from the west country,

8 and I will bring them to dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And they shall be my people,
and I will be their God, in faithfulness and in righteousness."

9 Thus says the Lord of hosts: "Let your hands be strong,
you who in these days have been hearing these words from the mouth of the prophets
who were present on the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid,
that the temple might be built.

10 For before those days there was no wage for man or any wage for beast,
neither was there any safety from the foe for him who went out or came in,
for I set every man against his neighbor.

11 But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people as in the former days,
declares the Lord of hosts.

12 For there shall be a sowing of peace.
The vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its produce,
and the heavens shall give their dew.
And I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

13 And as you have been a byword of cursing among the nations,
O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing.
Fear not, but let your hands be strong."

14 For thus says the Lord of hosts:
"As I purposed to bring disaster to you when your fathers provoked me to wrath,
and I did not relent, says the Lord of hosts,

15 so again have I purposed in these days to bring good to Jerusalem
and to the house of Judah; fear not.

16 These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another;
render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace;

17 do not devise evil in your hearts against one another, and love no false oath,
for all these things I hate, declares the Lord."

18 And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying,

19 "Thus says the Lord of hosts: The fast of the fourth month and the fast of the fifth
and the fast of the seventh and the fast of the tenth shall be to the house of Judah
seasons of joy and gladness and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and peace.

20 "Thus says the Lord of hosts: Peoples shall yet come,
even the inhabitants of many cities.

21 The inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying,
‘Let us go at once to entreat the favor of the Lord and to seek the Lord of hosts;
I myself am going.'

22 Many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem
and to entreat the favor of the Lord.

23 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
In those days ten men from the nations of every tongue shall take hold of the robe of a Jew,
saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.'"
