Sons To Glory
However, their identity of “Israel” (where Israel is defined as people
who are the natural offspring of Jacob) has not been taken away.
The important thing that we are “blessing” in the nation of Israel is
God’s Covenant promises with our spiritual forefathers, and not
necessarily every decision that the modern day nation of Israel makes.
This is especially important now, because the times of the Gentiles
having the corner on the Kingdom of God are coming to an end. God
has indeed extended a time of favor on the Gentiles for the past 2,000
years, and simultaneously a time of chastening on the Jewish people as
they have been scattered all over the earth. But now the roles are being
reversed. We are entering into a time of favor upon the Jewish people
as many of them are receiving their Messiah. At the same time, the
Gentile nations are now entering into a time of judgment based on how
they have treated Israel. Ultimately, those nations who come against
Israel will suffer greatly. Many of Israel’s prophets saw this time of
judgment on the nations saying, “it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance,
the year of recompense for the controversy of Zion” (Isaiah 34:8).
According to Joel 3:1-2, God will enter into judgment on the nations in
the Valley of Jehoshaphat because “they have divided up My land.”
This Valley just happens to be in East Jerusalem, which the modern day
Palestinians claim as theirs, and the United Nations plans to divide.
The Jewish people have paid the price of being a “chosen” nation as
they have been some of the most persecuted people through the ages.
The greatest modern day geo-political miracle is the re-gathering of the
Jewish nation, and the greatest spiritual miracle will be when the nation
of Israel accepts Yahoshua (Jesus) as her Messiah. Our prayer should
be that the Jewish people and the nation of Israel would be grafted back
into their original “Kingdom” by accepting their Messiah Yahoshua!
Jesus told Nicodemus, “unless one is born again, he cannot see the
kingdom of God” (John 3:3). Whether we are a Jew or a Gentile
(which includes all other nationalities), there is no other name given
under heaven by which men can be saved except the name of Jesus.
We should bless the Jews because their fathers represent our spiritual
heritage through whom Jesus came. Jesus is everything, and all
believing Jews and Gentiles will be combined in Him (Messiah
Yahoshua) who is God in the flesh.
