The popular meaning of the promised land

"Promised Land" has two meanings:

1. Genesis in the Old Testament records that Abraham, the ancestor of Israel, made a covenant with God because of his piety, and his descendants will have a land flowing with milk and honey.

2. The Promised Land is a feature film directed by gus van sant and starring Matt Damon, john krasinski and Frances McDormand. It was released in the United States on February 28th, 20 12.

Extended data:

The rest of the Five Classics of Moses records that Moses later led the Israelites out of Egypt and drifted in the wilderness for forty years. After Moses died, Joshua led him into the promised land of Canaan, about 1405- 1350, which became the later kingdom of Israel. But they turned their backs on God, so God scattered Jews all over the world.

Now Christians believe that the "promised land" in the Old Testament is today's holy city Jerusalem (Christianity, Islam and Judaism). However, in the past thousand years, wars in Jerusalem have been intermittent, and peace in the holy city has not yet fully arrived.
