P Plans to divide up the Holy Land

The Old Testament describes the promised land as follows: "To
your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the great
river, the Euphrates— the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,

Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and
Jebusites." (Genesis 15:18-21)
For Evangelicals, this passage from the Old Testament describes

the Holy Land, and these lands have to be taken by the Jews before
the coming of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh). These lands between the Nile
and the Euphrates include parts of Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Sudan, and Turkey
and all of Jordan, Lebanon, and Kuwait.

The taking over of these lands is thus of great importance for some
Evangelicals and represents a significant portent of the Last Coming.

Some Evangelicals' idea of the
Holy Land differs from that of
the Jews. The Jews regard the
current land of Israel as
compatible with the Torah,
while some Evangelicals refer
to a much broader territory,
even including part of Turkey.
