In Defense of the Jewish People and the State of Israel By Mike Bradley
As Christians, we have to stand firmly and solidly behind the Jewish people and their state of Israel. When you put all of the verses together on the original covenant God the Father made with their first forefather, Abraham, I believe that this original covenant is still in full force and full effect to this very day.
God made an original covenant and pact with the Jewish people in that He would be their God and they would be His chosen people. This everlasting covenant was made with their first set of forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He then tops it off by promising that they would be given the land of Israel as an everlasting possession.
Though the Jewish people managed to break their end of the bargain by all of their rebellious and adulterous behavior towards the Lord during much of the Old Testament, and managed to get themselves dispersed to the four corners of the world as punishment and judgment for this kind of unacceptable behavior towards Him in 70 AD, God still intends on keeping His side of the bargain.
The covenant God made with Abraham was an everlasting and permanent covenant, and nothing that the Jewish people would end up doing against Him, no matter how bad, was going to end up canceling, revoking, rescinding or breaking this covenant with Him.
The Jewish people lost temporary possession of the land of Israel as a result of this dispersion, but because God made this original covenant with Abraham on a permanent and everlasting basis, God will stay true to His Word and He will still keep to His side of the bargain.
As a result, God the Father is still the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all of the rest of the Jewish people. The Jewish people are still the chosen people of God the Father and they are still the apple of His eye. The land of Israel is still their everlasting possession and the land still belongs to them and them alone.
God Himself has made a sovereign choice to make this race of people His chosen people, and neither we as Christians, the Muslims or any of the rest of the world have any legal right to be attacking or questioning the Lord on the choice He made to single out this race and class of people to be His chosen people that would eventually supply the blood line that His Son Jesus would eventually be born into our world through. The facts are the facts. God has spoken out loud and clear on this entire issue through His Word. This is why God has warned the rest of the world with the statement that He makes in the following verse I will now give you.
