Best Answer

The Promised Land, or Holy Land was the region of land in which God promised to Abraham's descendants (see Genesis 17). God promised to make Abraham into a father of nations through his son Isaac and make his descendants "extremely fruitful."

God later appeared to Abraham's grandson Jacob (Genesis 28:13-15) and promised him this land also, because it was through Jacob's descendants that the promise would be fulfilled (Jacob was later named Israel - the nation which would take the promised land).

The promise was fulfilled when Israel finally took the promised land which God told them to go and enjoy (Deuteronomy 1:8).

It's a great account of faith, hope, and God's unfailing love. If you haven't read it , you owe it to yourself to read epic adventure.

Answer 2:

Jews are still awaiting the coming of the messiah. And a few conditions need to be in place for when the Messiah comes. The Land, "Isreal" is a big part of these conditions.
