Why Israel?

Like many people you have probably noticed that Israel is in the news almost every day. Why is this? Geographically, Israel is one of the smallest nations in the world about the same size as the state of New Jersey in America.

Genesis 12:2-3 illustrate God speaking to Abram, who was representing the Jewish People, saying, "I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. 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."

Jehovah God chose the Jewish People to be "A Blessing To The People Of The World." Have they fulfilled this very important calling from God? Yes, with excellence! This is one of the primary reasons the forces of evil try to hinder this movement of "God's Goodness." Another primary reason is that Satan knows the Word of God and knows Jesus is physically coming back to Israel. {Zechariah 14:4}

Israel continually needs our prayers! Let us all pray together Psalm 125 repeating God's Word back to Him for its fulfillment:

V1 - "Those who trust in The Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abide forever."

V2 - "As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so The Lord surrounds His people from this time forth and forever."

V3 - "For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity."

V4 - "Do good, O Lord, to those who are good. And to those who are upright in their hearts."

V5 - "As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, The Lord shall lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!"
