This painfully describes the journey of the Jewish people. From the destruction of the Temple, and Jerusalem in 70 AD, the journey has been brutal. Perry first asks Middle East expert Charlie Dyer:

“What happened with the Jews between Jerusalem’s destruction by the Romans in 70 AD and their restoration to the land in 1948?” It’s a profound flyover of that long and torturous journey.

Dr. Charlie Dyer, Middle East scholar at Moody Bible institute and the host of The Land and the Book on Moody Radio has authored a ton of books including an revised version of Who Owns the Land—An In-Depth Look at the Truth Behind the Middle East Conflict.

Shawna then asks, “Why should we expect non-believers to accept God’s promise of the land to Israel?”

Also we hear the story of a Messianic Jew knocking on the door of an Arab Muslim in Tel Aviv who was so hungry to know about Jesus. Pointing to the ultimate hope for the Middle East: The gospel!

And Perry asks Charlie, “If you had the power to make a decision tomorrow about who owns the land and where Jews should live and where Palestinians should live, what would you do?”

Though his answer puts Israel in her land because of God’s promises, it doesn’t include driving out all non-Jews. An answer we actually find in the earlies pages of the bible.
