Bible Question: Where
in the Bible does it state that as a nation we had better back the
Israeli nation or else we will be destroyed. I know this is true,
but I need a particular section to make this woman at work understand
what I am saying is true. I know this is talked about throughout
the Bible, but I wanted to know if there was a way to narrow it down
to a verse or book that she can read.
Bible Answer: There
are two key passages in the Bible. The first one is found in Gen.
12:2-3. God is speaking to Abraham when He says the following:
| |
And
I will make you a great nation,
And I will bless you,
And make your name great;
And so you shall be a blessing;
And I will bless those who bless you,
And the one who curses you I will curse.
And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.” (NASB)
Gen. 12:2-3 |
God
promises to make Abraham's descendants a great nation, and He promises
to bless them. But anyone who seeks to harm them will be cursed.
This is the reason to support Israel. Any nation in the world who
seeks to harm Israel will find God's wrath upon it. God's wrath will
come when He chooses. For some it will not occur until the of the
world (Rev. 18:1-2,24; 20:11-15). The second key passage is found
in Gen. 27:29. It has the same idea of Genesis 12:2-3.
Conclusion: God
has a similar attitude for Christians. He loves both Jews and Gentiles.
But God does have a special attitude for His chosen people. Our God
is a God who seeks relationships. He is not a cold and sterile God. He
wants us to love and seek Him.
