Now for a time of about forty years He put up with their ways in the wilderness. And when He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He distributed their land to them by allotment. (Acts 13:18-19).

God keeps His promises. He had promised to give Abraham’s descendants the land of Canaan (Gen. 12:7; 13:14-15, 15:7, 18). Many believe God did not entirely keep His land promise. They expect Him to give Israel the land in the future. However, time and again, the Scriptures say God fulfilled His land promise. He has already given Israel the land He promised them. To expect God to do so in the future denies His word. Hear God’s word:

1. Paul said God distributed their land to them. “He distributed their land to them.”

2. Israel received the land under Joshua. “So the Lord gave Israel all the land of which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they took possession of it and dwelt in it: (Josh. 21:43, 4-45; cf. 11:23; 23:14).

3. Solomon’s rule corresponded with the promised land (Gen. 15:18; 1 Kgs. 4:21).

4. The psalmist confirmed God gave Israel “the lands of the Gentiles” (Psa. 105:11, 42-44).

5. Jeremiah said God gave them the land He swore to their fathers (Jer. 32:21-23).

6. Nehemiah records God’s fulfillment of the land promise (Neh. 9:7-8).

In the face of multiple declarations that God fulfilled His land promise, millions of souls cling to the false hope of the false doctrine of premillennialism that God will one day keep His word. He already did. We reject the failed framework of false doctrines that force one to conclude God did not keep His word.
