Israel

---

Here are a few scriptures if you want to look (study through them).  This is not at all exhaustive, but should surface as a primer.

Remember God is a Covenant Making, Covenant Keeping God.   

This covenant involves LAND and PEOPLE, FOREVER

Remember the word Nation in the Bible means "People Group" (Ethnos in Greek, Goy in Hebrew) and there are thousands of People Groups on earth today.  There are many more "People Groups" in the world than there are modern day Political Nations (approx. 193).

There is one people group "Israel" that has a Covenant with and from God, that has to do with LAND (Location) and PEOPLE (Nation).  

According to Gods Word, all the other people groups on earth are arranged around them and according to the number of the sons of Israel.

This is the way God has arranged the peoples and places on Earth.

That is why Jerusalem is at the CENTER of the World.  That is where Jesus ascended from, that is where He is coming back to and that is where His Dad is moving His Eternal Headquarters "Forever".

There is also a blessing or a cursing attached to how we treat this People Group, this Nation. 

As individuals or as a People or Nation, If we bless them, we will be blessed, if we curse them, we will be cursed.

The United States along with all other Nations of world's destiny is linked to the Nation of Israel.  

Look at the nations that opposed or abstained from 

blessing Israel, when they became a political nation again in 1948 after almost 1900 years, and then look at the Nations that blessed their restoration.  

Fast Forward to this very moment in History and you will see the same thing.  The Nations that bless Israel will be blessed and the Nations that curse Israel will be cursed.

This however does not mean that every decision that the current Political State of Israel makes is in perfect alignment with God's will for their restoration, any more than any other human or government makes every decision perfectly.  

But overall, the current Nation of Israel is the partial manifestation of the continual eternal covenant that was made with them, by God Almighty, starting with Abraham about 4000 years ago.

We need to know this and live accordingly.

One last thought before you study all the scriptures below.  Almost every Jewish man has a question in his heart when he meets a gentile... like us.

"If there were another holocaust, would you be with me or against me?"

Maybe that is a good question to ask ourselves?

Jesus said... "And the King will answer and say to them. 'Truly I say to you, to the extent you did it to one of these these brothers of Mine, the least, you did it to Me"  Matthew 25:40

Remember Jesus was Jewish, from the tribe of Judah, a son of Israel.

Love you guys,
