Best Answer

The modern country of Israel was formed in 1948 within the borders of what had been the historic region of Palestine. The term had existed for two thousand years, ever since the Romans named it Syria-Palaestina as punishment for the Jewish Revolts.

What is the land that GOD had intended for Israel?

The land of Canaan, now known as Israel/Palestine, according to the Bible. The Bible nowhere uses the name "Palestine" (and should not be used on any Bible map). "Provincia Syria Palestina" was coined by the Roman Emperor Hadrian (in AD135) as a derogatory term against the Israelites, renaming their homeland after Israel's ancient nemeses the Philistines. To call any part of Israel "Palestine" is to imply that the land belongs to the Philistines who no longer exist.
