Why Christians Should Support Israel
The Apple of HIS Eye...

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:
1. The Sacred Scripture
2. The Prophets
3. The Patriarchs
4. Mary, Joseph, and Jesus Christ of Nazareth
5. The Twelve Disciples
6. 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.)

They haven't been fighting for thousands of years. Islam has only been around since the 7th century, Judaism is much older. The Jews failed to revolt against the Romans under the Emperor Tiberius and were duly punished. That was in the first century AD. After their revolt the Jews left Israel, never to return until the 20th century. So before Islam was even created the Jews were already largely gone from Israel. Linguistic realities would suggest even had they stayed they'd have been quickly Arabised and thus we can conclude the only reasons the Jews still have a separate identity from the Arabs is precisely because they WEREN'T in Israel. All other Semitic people were swiftly Arabised. The Coptic speaking Egyptians have practically disappeared and more than 90% of Egyptians now speak Arabic. Even the Berbers on the shores of the Maghreb as far as Morocco. The towns are Arabic and the country is Berber. It's that way from Siwa to Casablanca. All the Ancient Semitic Languages of Mesopotamia disappeared. Punic, Aramaic, Akkadian, etc. have all disappeared under the tide of Arabic. This is because Arabic is closely related to all of the above languages and switching from Punic to Arabic, for example, wasn't very difficult and was natural. One could fairly safely assume that Hebrew would have met the same fate, since Hebrew is very closely related to Arabic as well. Not only do we have examples of virtually every Semitic Language that Arabic came into contact with being assimilated, but we have examples of non-Semitic languages surviving, which is probably the best argument for the above. The Sassanian Persian Empire collapsed before the onslaught of the Arabs, but the Persian Language survived. In India all the Indo-Aryan tongues of the North were unaffected by Arabic. In Europe Romance languages survived in both Sicily and in Iberia. The Arabs were irresistible when they erupted from the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century. They destroyed Sassanian Persia, and ejected the Byzantines from Africa and laid siege to Constantinople itself. If they had entered Palestine at that time (and they did, except the people of Palestine were largely Aramaic, or in the towns, Greek, speaking Christians and not Jews) the Jewish religion would be gone and the Hebrew language would be dead. No. They've only been fighting each other for the last century, if even that.
