Deuteronomy 15 as a litmus test of good modern economics: In Psalms 111, we see the promise to Israel of a homeland is fulfilled. It was not just land belonging to others but a land once made home by Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(Israel). Yet, this is not permission to presume God has given you the right to take property and land belonging to others. Abraham left his ancestral land and ended up immediately within the gates of Egypt as a guest and benefactor of a Pharaoh. Israel today was not just any land but the land of Abraham's people and before Moses left Egypt, some other tribes occupied the promised land temporarily in Jacob's absence. Click here for more.

Deuteronomy 15 as a litmus test of good modern economics:   In Psalms 111, we see the promise to Israel of a homeland is fulfilled. It was not just land belonging to others but a land once made home by Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(Israel). Yet, this is not permission to presume God has given you the right to take property and land belonging to others.  Abraham left his ancestral land and ended up immediately within the gates of Egypt as a guest and benefactor of a Pharaoh.   Israel today was not just any land but the land of Abraham's people and before Moses left Egypt, some other tribes occupied the promised land temporarily in Jacob's absence.  As such, it would be anathema for Israel to just claim other people's land today. The purpose of Israel is to witness about the ten commandments.


-Ten commandments-

The ten commandments confirm that we honor our neighbours and what belongs to them; including their land. We see in history that for sometime Israel, as a political entity, no longer existed.

-Historical fact as recorded in the bible-

We see the historical fact of Israel's occupation confirmed in the bible. See Hezekiah and the Assyrians.

See the occupation of Israel by the Romans  in the first century A.D.

See the story of Nehemiah.

There is no doubt that Israel was to exist and left Egypt as a people with great abundance.  See Deuteronomy 15.   As the Egyptians blessed them when the time of Israel's labor in Egypt ended, the Egyptians blessed them in honor of a principle.  Also, see 2 Chronicles 31 where Hezekiah effected a minimum income support for all citizens of Israel with equal provision.  This was his way of ensuring the well being of all citizens as farming and markets became organised, thereby reducing the amount of work involved and the number of workers required. 

-Hebrew is a rich language-
 Hebrew is a rich language.   The OHCHR is a rich nation's economic strategy as they make Arrangements to work with Canada and the United States to benefit from Automation and a vast existing infrastructure in need of investment, a vital domestic  market and modernisation.
