![]() America has committed many sins for which we may well deserve judgment, but as a nation, we have been a consistent friend of the Jews and the nation of Israel, as well as a benefactor. The same can be said for our befriending Israel as a nation. No nation in the history of the world has a better record of treating individual Jews with respect than does America. One of the United States’ most worthwhile accomplishments has been its consistent regard for the plight of the Jewish nation. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you" (see also Genesis 27:29 Numbers 24:9). We read of God’s promise in Genesis 12:2-3, "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. Another reason for Christians to support the nation of Israel is because of the Abrahamic Covenant. Jews are, biblically speaking, the "chosen people of God" and dearly loved by Him. Some Jews are being saved and are becoming members of the body of Christ through faith in their Messiah. ![]() The nation is a secular, unbelieving (as to the claims of Scripture and their Messiah, Jesus Christ) nation but "…at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace" (Romans 11:5). It is true that Israel is currently in rebellion against God because of their rejection of Christ. Let us never forget to pray for God’s chosen people. Our Bible is a Jewish Book, and our Savior is a Jewish Savior. All that we have worth having has come to us through the Jews. The declaration that "salvation is from the Jews” suggests our immeasurable debt to Israel. Already He has done so in measure, for "salvation is from the Jews" (John 4:22), but the fullness of future blessing is indicated in the wondrous promise of Isaiah 27:6: "In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit." God’s eternal purpose is to bless the world through Israel.
