According to scripture, we are commanded by God to bless Israel. Here is a scripture which first anchors this concept, and defines it as well:
Genesis 12 : 1-3
“And Jehovah said to Abram, Go out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house into a land that I will show you. And I will make you a great nation. And I will bless you and make your name great. And you shall be a blessing. And I will bless those that bless you and curse the one who curses you. And in you shall all families of the earth be blessed.”
We don’t have to be Bible scholars with theological degrees to understand this process God established. We also don’t have to over emphasize it either. Just understand it for what it says. Basically, it defines God’s feelings towards the Israeli people when they were first established as a people through Abram.
We are not asking you to join a new religous order, or to change your own basic Christian foundation, but we are asking you to take a look at this often ignored Biblical Principle. We are free to ignore it, but we feel ignoring it might be unhealthy as God seems to demand it of us in His Word.
Jesus said at John 4: verse 22:
“You worship what you do not know, we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.”
OK, so Jesus even establishes this for us further. He defines our salvation as coming from the Jews. HE HIMSELF came from the Jews. Think about that. Let’s start a dialogue about this can we?
Feel free to comment, and we can discuss it back and forth!
