Why We Support Israel

                     It is possible to support Israel, whilst still maintaining a Christian love towards all people in the region. We can desire peace, pray for Israel’s enemies and show God’s love to people of all religions, whilst standing firmly by Israel as God’s chosen people with a historical significance, present existence and future purpose in God’s divine plan.

Here are seven Bible verses that support why Christians should stand with Israel.



1. Israel was created by God

“And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”
Genesis 17:7-8

Will you be a Watchman on the walls of Jerusalem?

“Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem: May they prosper who love you.”

The rebirth of Israel in 1948 and the reunification of Jerusalem in 1967 are two of the most significant events in world history, both of which were foreseen in Bible prophecy. This year God’s chosen nation and His holy city are celebrating important milestones. 

It is 50 years since the reunification of Jerusalem and 100 years since the signing of the Balfour Declaration, which helped lead to the creation of the modern State of Israel. We believe these events have spiritual significance for the world.

When Jerusalem was reunified in June 1967, it brought an end to more than 1,800 years of Jerusalem being occupied by invading forces. Even though Jews dwelt in Jerusalem throughout this time, the city was now rightfully returned to the Jewish people, fulfilling Bible prophecy and God’s promises that have been spoken by Christians and Jews throughout the ages.

ISRAEL: A LAND FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY

When people read where Moses described the land of Israel as a “land flowing with milk and honey,” (Deuteronomy 6:3) many have no idea how very real a description this is for Israel today. Israel has become one of the leading nations in the production of methods and technologies for agricultural advancement and environmental protection.

First of all, Israel is quite literally “flowing with milk,” having the most productive dairy cows in the world (Shamah, David, The Times of Israel, May 17, 2012)! Israeli scientists have discovered a way of using their knowledge of genetics to breed the most productive cows in the world. Israel has also exported this knowledge to many nations.

Jewish Hopes And Prospects Chapter 4: ​The Regathering Of Israel

​ONE of the most marvelous and significant fulfillments of prophecy in our time is the regathering of Israel to their homeland. According to the Scriptures, it is one of the evidences that signifies that the establishment of God's kingdom, with its accompanying blessings upon the whole world of mankind, is near at hand. (See, e.g., Isa. 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-4; Luke 21:29-31; Rom. 11:12, 15.) Both Jew and Gentile look for and hope for the establishment of this kingdom (Dan. 2:35, 44; 7:13, 14, 18, 22, 27; Matt. 6:10); hence a description of significant happenings connected with the regathering of Israel to their homeland, such as is given here, should be of deep interest to all.

THE TURNING POINT OF RETURNING FAVOR

In the Berlin Congress of Nations, in June 1878, the European Concert of Nations, under the leadership of Disraeli, a Jew, then Prime Minister of England, made it a matter of International Law that the Jews be given the right of settling in Palestine, with the removal of onerous handicaps from them. It was there that England assumed a general protectorate over the Asiatic provinces of Turkey, among which was Palestine; and the Turkish government amended its laws relating to aliens, which ameliorated the condition of Jews then residing in Palestine, as well as partially opened the door for others to locate there, with the privilege of holding real estate.

Passover

What is Passover?

Passover (“Pesach” in Hebrew) is the first of the three pilgrimage festivals, and commemorates the Israelites’ escape from slavery in Egypt, as described in the Book of Exodus. The holiday takes its name from a miracle: the angel God sent to slaughter the Egyptians' first-born sons “passed over” the homes of the Hebrews, who had been instructed to sacrifice a lamb and use its blood to mark the lintels of their doorways.
