God's Chosen People

As we start this new calendar year, For Zion's Sake Ministry is starting a new series identifying the Jewish People as God's Chosen People. We desire to be clear right from the start that all people also are God's Chosen People. Jehovah God desire for all people to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We are all "Chosen People of God." Bless His Holy Name!

However, there is a special place in God's heart for the Jewish People. Yet, the majority of them do not know Jesus as their Messiah. There are signs that the return of Jesus to earth is closer than ever. Last year we started hearing the term "The Great Reset." If this takes place any time soon, this could be the early stages of the world government that the Anti-Christ will establish in the Tribulation.

As a result, For Zion's Sake Ministry feels it is timely and important for Christians to understand the Covenants God established with the Jewish People and why they are not seeing Jesus as their Messiah. Additionally, we should understand the actual size of the land God gave to the Jewish People. In this manner, we as Born Again Christians can better love the Jewish People and help them to identify their Messiah.

Our primary reference will be the Book of Deuteronomy that has been called a "Summary Of The Torah." Chapter 1:7 shows God speaking to His People, "Turn and take your journey and go to the mountains of the Amorites, to all the neighboring places in the plain, in the mountains and in the lowlands, in the south and on the seacoast, to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon and as far as the great river, the River Euphrates." 

Jehovah God is speaking to His People towards the end of their 40 years traveling in the wilderness. Verse 7 is an important verse because God tells His Covenant People to go to ALL the land He is giving to them. As we analyze this verse in detail we notice that the mountains of the Amorites are the current day mountains of Judea and Samaria. The plains is all the land along the Mediterranean Sea. God also tells them to go to the land of the Canaanites that is current day Israel. God also tells them to go to Lebanon and as far East as the Euphrates River. Lebanon, Syria and part of Iraq will be part of Israel in the future. This will be explained in up coming messages.

We will close this first message of 2021 by sharing that this description of the land God gave to His people in Deuteronomy 1:7 is the exact same description in Genesis 15:18  when God established the Abrahamic Covenant. Stay Tuned!

May The Lord Continue His Gracious Blessings Upon You,
