Why
Christians Should Support Israel
The Apple of HIS Eye...
Everything Christians do should be based upon the Biblical text.
Here are seven solid Bible reasons why Christians should support
Israel.
1. Genesis 12:3 "And I will bless them that bless thee and
curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all nations of
the earth be blessed." Point: God has promised to bless
the man or nation that blesses the Chosen People. History has
proven beyond reasonable doubt that the nations that have blessed
the Jewish people have had the blessing of God; the nations that
have cursed the Jewish people have experienced the curse of God.
2. St. Paul recorded in Romans 15:27 "For if the Gentiles
have shared in their (the Jews) spiritual things, they are indebted
to minister to them also in material things."
Christians owe a debt of eternal gratitude to the Jewish people
for their contributions that gave birth to the Christian faith.
Jesus Christ, a prominent Rabbi from Nazareth said, "Salvation
is of the Jews!" (St. John 4:22) consider what the Jewish
people have given to Christianity:
a) The Sacred Scripture
b) The Prophets
c) The Patriarchs
d) Mary, Joseph, and Jesus Christ of Nazareth
e) The Twelve Disciples
f) The Apostles
It is not possible to say, "I am a Christian" and not
love the Jewish people. The Bible teaches that love is not what
you say, but what you do. (1 John 3:18) "A bell is not a
bell until you ring it, a song is not a song until you sing it,
love is not love until you share it."
3. While some Christians try to deny the connection between Jesus
of Nazareth and the Jews of the world, Jesus never denied his
Jewishness. He was born Jewish, He was circumcised on the eighth
day in keeping with Jewish tradition, He had his Bar Mitzvah
on his 13th birthday, He kept the law of Moses, He wore the Prayer
Shawl Moses commanded all Jewish men to wear, He died on a cross
with an inscription over His head, "King of the Jews!
Jesus considered the Jewish people His family. Jesus said (Matthew
25:40) "Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you have done
it unto one of the least of these my brethren (the Jewish people…
Gentiles were never called His brethren), ye have done it unto
me.
4. "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper
that love thee." (Psalm 122:6) the scriptural principle
of prosperity is tied to blessing Israel and the city of Jerusalem.
5. Why did Jesus Christ go to the house of Cornelius in Capernaum
and heal his servant, which was ready to die? What logic did
the Jewish elders use with Jesus to convince Him to come into
the house of a Gentile and perform a miracle?
The logic they used is recorded in Luke 7:5; "For He loveth
our nation, and He hath built us a synagogue." The message?
This Gentile deserves the blessing of God because he loves our
nation and has done something practical to bless the Jewish people.
6. Why did God the Father select the house of Cornelius in Caesarea
(Acts Chapter 10) to be the first Gentile house in Israel to
receive the Gospel? The answer is given repeatedly in Acts 10.
Acts 10:2 "a devout man, (Cornelius) and one that feared
God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and
prayed to God always." Who were the people to whom Cornelius
gave these alms? They were the Jews.
Again is Acts 10:4 "… thy prayers and thine alms are
come up for a memorial before God."
Again in Acts 10:31 "… and thine alms are had in remembrance
in the sight of God."
The point is made three times in the same chapter. A godly Gentile
who expressed his unconditional love for the Jewish people in
a practical manner was divinely selected by heaven to be the
first Gentile house to receive the Gospel and the first to receive
the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
These combined Scriptures verify that PROSPERITY (Genesis 12:3
and Psalm 122:6), HEALING (Luke 7:1-5) and the OUTPOURING OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT came first to Gentiles that blessed the Jewish
people and the nation of Israel in a practical manner.
7. We support Israel because all other nations were created by
an act of men, but Israel was created by an act of God! The Royal
Land Grant that was given to Abraham and his seed through Isaac
and Jacob with an everlasting and unconditional covenant. (Genesis
12:1-3, 13:14-18, 15:1-21, 17:4-8, 22:15-18, 26:1-5 and Psalm
89:28-37.)
