Israel
It can be very interesting to embark on word studies when examining the Bible. It is particularly interesting to look at the uses of the words “if” and “until”. They are both very small words and can easily be missed but these words can dramatically define the meaning of a passage.
The two following uses of the word “until” are very important and indicate that God’s dealing with Israel and the “time of the gentiles” are mutually exclusive.

It is commonplace to hear accusations against Israel for the crime of “apartheid”. This is a highly emotive subject and many are simply too blinded by red mist to calmly reflect on this accusation in a rational way.
It is simply baffling to hear these accusations made against Israel whilst there is such a deafening silence on the Islamic countries that surround Israel who far better fit the description of “Apartheid” states!

And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God. (Amos 9:14-15)

The link below provides a perfect example of why it is so important to carefully gather the facts before allowing a headline form an opinion – Visual Lies: Exposing the Truth Behind Demonstrations in Judea and Samaria.
We do not pretend that Israel is free of all guilt in some of these “flare-ups” – however, this particular example shows how media bias often manipulates and obscures “facts” to vilify Israel in an effort to promote anti-semitic propaganda.
As Western nations debate how to tackle the Syrian chemical weapon situation, it highlights an interesting truth – the undeniable hatred of Israel by their surrounding Arab neighbours. These neighbours are unabashed in stating that if there is a strike against Damascus (and it does not matter who carries out the strikes) they will attack Israel.
