Hi, everybody.
I hope you are doing well.
I am an independent, tempermental, fundamental, right-wing, radical, Baptist (smiles).
Well it all started with a promise, a promise from God, and God wouldn't be God if He did not keep His promise. The promise from God was given about 4,000 years ago to a man named Abraham. What was this promise and what does it have to do with us in the 21st century? Well the promise was:
"Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee (the land of Israel): And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I (God) will bless them that bless thee (Israel), and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." Genesis 12:1-3
The story is really very simple. God gave the land of Israel to Abraham [Genesis 17:8] and to his descendants through Isaac and Jacob. He blessed them and they prospered and grew into a great nation. The land, the promised land, is known today as Israel. These are referred to in the Bible as the Jews (Romans 1:16).
Ask a group of Christians why they support Israel's efforts against their enemies and you'll probably hear back that Jews hold the deed to the dirt. God gave it to them. This can be quickly verified by checking the Tanach:
"And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed (to their children)." (Deuteronomy 34:4) Numerous passages in Genesis and Exodus speak to the same thing. Thus this claim that the Jews suddenly appeared sixty years ago right after the Holocaust and drove out the Arabs is preposterous!
YES, I am a Christian, and I support the Jewish people's right to ALL the land of Israel.
"Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come." Psalm 102:13
May the LORD bless you all.
Best regards,
