AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 12:3 And I will bless (do good for, benefit) those who bless you, And I will curse [that is, subject to My wrath and judgment] the one who curses (despises, dishonors, has contempt for) you. And in you all the families (nations) of the earth will be blessed." [Gal 3:8] |
Bible Question: What does "I will bless those who bless you"? I think it not only means Abraham, but the nation of Israel ... even today. We need to bless Israel. |
Bible Answer: He was speaking to Abram, and through him the entire world has been blessed. The Jews think all is well between them and God because he gave his laws to them. Being a Jew is something if you obey Gods laws. You are not a real Jew because you were born of Jewish parents or because you have gone through the Jewish initiation of ceremony of circumcision. No a real Jew is anyone whose heart is right with God. Any Nation that is right with God should be blessed. Do you think the Middle East is right with God? And when will the Jews belive in Gods Son. That was one of his laws. |
