Alabama Blesses Israel<br />

“one new man” (Eph. 2:15) from both the Jew and Gentile. Alabama is<br />

participating in the “wisdom of the ages” as the “Heart of Dixie,”<br />

which was birthed out of the civil war rebellion, is being redeemed to<br />

become the “Heart of the Father” bringing forth true unity in Christ.<br />

Another recent example of true unity on<br />

a regional basis occurred in my<br />

hometown of Huntsville Alabama on<br />

March 26th 2002 when many<br />

Christians of different fellowships in<br />

this area gathered at the Christ our<br />

Passover Unity Banquet. 30 This was the<br />

largest trans-denominational Passover<br />

event ever held with over 1,200 Christians gathered under the banner<br />

“Let there be no strife... for we are brethren” (Gen 13:8). The focus of<br />

the gathering was the body and blood of Jesus because this is what<br />

Passover is all about. It was at the last supper when the Lord told His<br />

disciples, “By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, by the<br />

love you have one to another” (John 13:35). This event was not a false<br />

unity based on setting aside our differences, but it was based on our<br />

agreement that the blood of Jesus is our ONLY access to the Father.<br />

Why should Christians bless Israel? – This is an important question<br />

to answer because it is obvious that many of the actions of the modern<br />

day nation of Israel do not represent the character of Yahoshua (Jesus).<br />

However, Israel DOES have a prophetic role based on the Covenants<br />

that God has made with Israel’s forefathers and our spiritual fathers.<br />

The “Kingdom of God” was indeed taken from national Israel when<br />

their nation rejected the Messiah Yahoshua (Jesus) and it was given to<br />

the Gentiles who believed. However, Israel’s standing as a chosen<br />

nation “for the sake of the fathers” (Romans 11:28, 15:8) is still in<br />

progress now at the end of the age. This is because God’s Covenants<br />

are irrevocable. Technically, the Kingdom of God does not have a<br />

certain ethnic makeup of either Jew or Gentile because God does not<br />

see race. He does, however, recognize and deal with nations. So,<br />

while there has always been a small remnant of Jews who do believe in<br />

their Messiah, the Israeli nation as a whole rejected Jesus. Therefore,<br />

generally speaking, the “Kingdom” was taken from national Israel.<br />
