If you read the... ...quotations from the Bible, which include all the verses that deal with the "Promise Land," you will realize that God has promised the Holy Land to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel). The promise was literally given to their descendants, not to the followers of any specific religion. These descendants, today, are the Muslims, Christians, or Jews who have been associated with the Holly Land for thousands of years. Most Eastern European and Russian Jews, for example, are descendants of people who converted to Judaism starting from the eighth century. Therefore, the promise does not apply to them because they are not descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. However, the promise applies to descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who followed Jesus Christ and became the Christians of the Holly Land. The promise also applies to those Christians who, later, followed the message of Islam and became Muslims of the Holly Land. Thus, God's promise is for Jews, Christians, and Muslims of the Holly Land, not for other followers of these three great religions.
O! The Promised Land should never have been, Never been pledged in the rescinding script of man. These honorable descendants; Isaac, Jacob and Abraham, Do you know them?
All we can imagine is the depth of they're pain, The pain of having been held in promissary note That so many have died for While pledged to a land That should never have been.

Never been pledged in the rescinding script of man.
These honorable descendants;
Isaac, Jacob and Abraham,
Do you know them?
All we can imagine is the depth of they're pain,
The pain of having been held in promissary note
That so many have died for
While pledged to a land
That should never have been.
