Agricola ~ quiet the contrary. I am for Israel because of the Lords command that who ever curses Israel will be cursed, and who ever blesses Israel will be blessed. I have never been for the Palestians, as I def. see them as the bad guys, all around. I saw this article and felt compelled to share it, and it has brought out a lot of truth. I know of some professing Christians who detest the Jews.
It all boils down to what is in our hearts. Are we going to follow our Lords command to love our enemies and our neighbors as ourselves? And that applies to everyone!!
God said as long as the ordinances of heaven are still in effect,His covenant is still with Israel,and He has not cast them off,and in another place,God has not cast off His people that He once foreknew,but they are blinded in part,until salvation is no longer available to the Gentiles,and the kingdom restored to them,in which God will make a full end of all Gentile nations,but will not make a full end of Israel,but will not leave her wholly unpunished,and when she has borne her shame,then God will turn them to the truth of Jesus as their Messiah,and they shall know the LORD from that day forth.
Israel is so important that if they do not come to the truth as a nation,there is salvation for no one,for they must come to the truth before God can continue on with His plan,and the millennial reign,and then the New Jerusalem,where the 12 tribes of Israel,and the 12 apostles names,are written in the New Jerusalem.
A saved Gentile becomes a Jew inward,and becomes a part of the commonwealth of Israel,and that is because it is all about Israel,first an earthly kingdom,and then a spiritual kingdom.
oe 3:1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
Joe 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
Joe 3:3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
Joe 3:4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head.
Joe 3:9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
Joe 3:10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
Joe 3:11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.
Joe 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
Joe 3:15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
Joe 3:16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
Joe 3:17 So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
God is against the Palestinians too,and says He is going to put it back on their head for messing with Israel,and this applies to the future,for God will come back with His mighty ones,the saints,and God will come back with His saints(Zechariah 14:5),and Jesus will come back with His saints(Revelation 19),when the world attacks Israel,the battle of Armageddon,and God saves Israel.
