Great read, definitely had to share. I stand with Israel and will continue to pray for not only the peace of Jerusalem but the Salvation of those who are lost and need to open their hearts to Messiah, Jesus Christ🙏💙
Hey Matthew and Michelle, I love this post! Supporting Israel is about standing with God's promises, not just politics. You laid out the spiritual importance so clearly. Thanks for encouraging us to pray and take action!
Everybody must watch this message by Pastor Chuck Baldwin of Liberty Fellowship MT titled: God's Chosen People, The Children Of Promise, The Israel Of God And Romans Chapter Eleven.
This message explains everything you need to know about israel.
I fully support Israel and understand that they have been and always will be God's chosen people. However I wonder how what is happening now fits into the narrative of the OT. Historically, when Israel followed God's directives they were blessed, and when they turned away from God, God allowed them to be conquered by their enemies. In recent history, has Israel been the beacon of light to point the way to God to the nations and world around them, and to Jesus as the redeemer? If not, could they currently be in a period of rebellion against God? And if that is the case, could we in the U.S. be interfering with God's dealings with them and actually be working against God in this situation?
Yes...questions like that arise. But to be safe...keep it in perspective. Continue to pray for Israel. Continue to support Israel...and continue to love them. Let God worry about everything else.
In my opinion it doesn't matter whether Israel is following God's will or not, the commandment to us is the same. God will deal with His chosen. All the nations that God used to punish His rebellious people have in turn been punished by God, most are no longer around. I think it's clear from history that God is still with today's Israel just look at what has happened since 1948, they've won every conflict though they have been badly outnumbered, the 6 day war alone would fit into the stories of the Old Testament if it were not a modern war.
Hi Avery! I agree with you that it is not up to us to determine whether or not Israel is or is not following God's purpose for them. We need to pray for them, love them, and stand with them. At the same time, how do we or how can we even determine whether our actions are working with God or against God in his relationship with them. Is it possible that we might become like the "helicopter" parents who come to the rescue of their children even when they are in the wrong, and do not let them experience the consequences of their actions? Just wondering....
As long as we are following God's commandment to Bless Israel I don't see how we can do wrong. If God is intent on punishing Israel we will not be able to stop it. How can God be angry with us if we are just doing what He commanded us to do?
