Why Christians Should Support Israel

 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.)
