Why Israel?

Possibly during these days and times in which we live, you have questions why are Israel and the Jewish People under attack? It almost appears that the whole world is against them. WHY?

The book of Genesis answers this question especially chapter 12:2-3. Jehovah God is speaking to Abram and his descendants {The Jews} and says, "I will make you into a great nation; I will bless you . . . I will curse him who curses you." Jehovah God determined that the Jewish People would be "His Chosen People." WHY? We believe there is not any person who can answer this question. Also, it is important to note that Christians have become recipients of these blessings. {Romans 11:17}

How Has God Blessed Israel Past And Present?

Genesis 15:9-19 - Established with Israel an Unconditional Covenant.

Genesis 15:18 - Gave Israel land from Egypt to the Euphrates River.

Genesis 17:2 - Told Israel He would multiply them exceedingly.

Genesis 18:18 - Israel would become a great and mighty nation.

Genesis 22:17 - Their descendants will possess the gate of enemies.

Genesis 26:4 - All the nations will be blessed through Israel.

Genesis 26:24 - God told Israel "I am God and I will bless you."

We do not know why God chose Israel and the Jewish People but this we know . . . We should pray daily for Israel. {Psalm 122:6}

Blessings,
