Shalom Jerusalem!
Why do we always hear about Jerusalem in the news these days? Why are Jews around the world so much hated to the point that they are killed just because of their nationality? Why such hatred?
In Genesis 12, God called out a man named Abram who later became Abraham. This same man would become the 'father of many nations'. The covenant was then passed down to Isaac his son, and finally to Jacob his grandson, who later became Israel (Genesis 35:10).
Through Israel, God will bless all the nations around the world. But sadly, they were not fully obedient to their call and they committed idolatry, worshipped other 'gods' which are made of wood and stone, and turned away from the real and living God who has chosen them.
Ultimately, God came in the flesh to turn His people around. He came in the world as Jesus. He came as their King and Messiah. But He was not accepted, but was instead delivered up to Pilate to be crucified. However, all these were divinely planned out to carry on the Redemptive work for mankind.
And that is why Satan hates the jews so much. Jesus came as a Jew and so it can be said that salvation came from the Jews. This hatred against Israel and the Jewish people is satanic and it is evil. And anyone who hates Israel for that matter is definitely not on the Lord's side and they will be dealt with seriously when He comes back for His people and for us!
Many churches around the globe are saying that the church has replaced Israel. This foolish and satanic teaching is called REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY. And sadly, this is very prevalent in many many churches today.
God has not cast away His people (Romans 11:1). When He comes back again, He will descend and split the Mount of Olives. And with one word, He will slaughter the anti-christ who, for 3 and a half years, has been killing the Jewish people.
Remember this promise from God to Israel written in Genesis 12:3 "I will bless those who bless you,And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”.
While it is true that the nation of Israel is yet to wake up from their blindness regarding their Messiah, but they are definitely NOT cut-off from God's covenant. One day, all of Israel will be saved and we look forward to that day.
With this, let us always be prayerful for the peace of Jerusalem and Israel. Let us also pray for the safety of the Jewish people in as much as we also pray for our own safety. Blessed day to all of us!
Shalom Jerusalem!
