Bible Question:
It does not matter if Israel is right with God or not ... we MUST do our part, by blessing Israel. A husband mus love his wife, even if she doesn't submit to and respect him (Eph 5:22-33). Do you agree? If one disobeys God, the other doesn't have the right to disobey gos, as well. Do you refuse to bless Israel? I bless Israel and may God bless Israel. |
Bible Answer: You are thinking of Israel as a nation. Independant of the rest of the world. But that is not what Gods plans were. He was searching for righteous men to run the world. He destroy the earth once because the wickedness of men. And build it again through one righteous man Noah. Then when he was ready to build the nations of the world he was searching for a righteous men. Though all the offsprings of Adam and Eve were going astray he found a righteous men in Terahs son, Abram. He change his name to Abraham, And blessed him. He also told him that the entire world would be blessed because of him. And that he would be the father of many nations. So from this righteous offspring of Adam and Eve, the righteous people continue to strive, fighting all kinds of evils. Abraham then gave birth to Isaac, the promise seed, then one of Isaac sons was Jacob, whose name was change to Israel, so this line of righteous people continue, and God walk among them. Adam and Eve had other offsprings that went on their own. The other offsprings of Adam and Eve build mighty Empires, so there was conflict with the righteous people that follow God, and the ones that follow the ways of the world. But then came a time when the descendants of Abraham became very wicked, and God was very displease with them. So he abandon them, and they suffer many calamities. His plan was to prepare a Kingdom were all mankind could live in peace until the end of time. Today the Kingdom of Heaven rules, and the Lord Jesus Christ is Lord. And to him the world turns for blessings. I respect Israel but I do not worship Israel, I worship God. So if Israel needs blessings, God is the one to pray to. |
