Israel

Regarding Israel, ALL Nations and ALL men should carefully reflect on and consider this:

Now the LORD had said unto Abram, "Get thee out of thy contry, and from thy kindred, and thy father's house, unto a land that I  will  shew thee: 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 will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed" (Genesis 12:1-3)

"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee" (Psalm 122:6)

"For thus saith the LORD of Hosts;
"After the glory hath He sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of His eye"
(Zechariah 2:8)

"Therefore, behold, the days come", saith the LORD, " that they shall no more say, the LORD liveth, Which  brough up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, but, the LORD liveth, Which brought up and Which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land" (Jeremiah 23:7-8)

This is what the LORD says, "He Who appoints the sun to shine by day, Who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, Who stirs up the the sea so that it waves roar"
The LORD Almighty is His Name: "Only if these decrees vanish from My Sight", declares the LORD, "will Israel ever cease being a nation before Me"
This is what the LORD says: "Only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below can be searched out, will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of they have done", declares the LORD.
(Jeremiah 31: 35 - 37)

"...Let us go into the house of the LORD. Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem...unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the Name of the LORD. For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David" (Psalm 122)

And Jesus...said unto them: "When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory: And before Him shall be gathered ALL NATIONS: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left"

Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand: "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me".

Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying: "Lord, when saw we an hungred, and fed Thee? or thirsty, and gave Thee drink? When saw we Thee a stranger, and took Thee in? or naked, and clothed Thee? Or when saw we Thee sick, or in prison, and came unto Thee?"

And the King shall answer and say unto them:
"Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me
"

Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand:
"Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and the angles: For I was an hungred, and ye gave Me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took Me not in: naked, and ye clothed Me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited Me not".
Then shall they also answer Him, saying:
"Lord, when saw we Thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto Thee?"
Then shall He answer them, saying:
"Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to Me

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
(Matthew 25:31-46)



Regarding Israel, ALL Christians should carefully and prayerfully reflect on and consider this:

"Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews"  (John 4:22)

"I say the truth in Christ...that I have a great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh CHRIST came, Who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.....
And that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom He hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles"
 (Romans 9)

"Brethren, my hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
For I bear them record that they have zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
For they being ignorant of God' righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise....... The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

For the scripture saith, "Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed".
For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved....

"Did not Israel know?.... But to Israel He saith: "All day long have I stretched forth My hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying peopel".
I say then "Had God cast away His people?" God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
God hath not cast away His people which He foreknew...."

"And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; Boast not against the branches.
But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee...
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happended to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
And so all Israel shall be saved
: as it is written, "there shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away the ungodliness from Jacob: for this is My covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins".
As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election they are beloved for the fathers' sake.
For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance"
(Romans 10,11)


"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Wherefore remeber, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcison by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenenats of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world.
But now in Christ Jesus ye who were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ".

For He is our peace, Who hath made both into one, and hath broken down the Middle Wall of partition between us; Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in Himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that He might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
For thorugh Him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father"
(Ephesians 2:10-18)
