What’s the big deal about Israel? I know a lot of my generation do not understand the importance of Israel. I also know that many conservatives have given up on ever receiving the support of the 20somethings/early-30somethings again. Well, I’m not accepting that. I want to educate you on the importance of Israel, and why if you call yourself a Christian, you better get behind them.
I found these great reasons from CFOIC Heartland’s website here.
- God says He will bless those who bless Israel. The opposite is also true. Those who do not stand for Israel will be destroyed. Ever wondered why no equivalent to the USA is mentioned in the Bible? Maybe it’s because we are the ultimate betrayers of Israel and thus, we are destroyed. Read Genesis 12:3 and Isaiah 60:12.
- We owe them a debt for the blessings we have received through them. The Promise, The Covenant and JESUS!! Read Romans 9:4-5 and Romans 15:27
- God’s gift and call on Israel have not been revoked. The eternal Covenant that God made with Abraham still exists. Read Romans 11:28.
- God has promised to bring them back to their land. Read Amos 8:14-15, Ezekiel 37:21-22. The regathering of Israel is prophesied in Ezekiel, Isaiah, Deuteronomy, Amos, Hosea, Jeremiah, by Jesus in Luke 21:24, by Paul in Romans 11 and is a key condition to the full flowering of the Messianic age (Genesis 35:11).
- The times of the Gentiles are almost fulfilled. Jesus prophesied that Jerusalem would be overthrown by the Romans. In 70 AD it happened. In 1967, Israel regained control of Jerusalem for the first time since 70AD. Read Luke 21:24-28.
- We are to “Comfort God’s People.” It is our divine mandate to help them fulfill their unique call. Reach Isaiah 40 and Isaiah 49:22-23.
- We must make reparation for Anti-Semitic teachings and acts. The Church has not replaced Israel. We have a duty to squash this false doctrine.

God Bless America as we continue to Bless Israel.
