Why we support Israel

.

In the beginning (Bereshit 12) G-D promised Abraham a land and a nation. The promise was made in a covenant between G-D and his people, and HE will never go back on that promise.  Israel is the land the Almighty chose for his people when HE made his covenant with Abraham. 

“But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham my friend, I took you from the ends of the earth; from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you.”  –Isaiah 41:8-9

The Biblical region of Judea and Samaria was given to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their descendants, forever, 4000 years ago. Because of sin, disobedience and lack of belief, most Jews were driven from the land around 70 AD. However, there were always some Jews living in the Land and Jews around the world have prayed to God three times a day, each day, to return His people to Zion. The prophets foretold the ingathering of the exiles and the rebuilding of the Land in the latter days. (Ezekiel 36, Amos 9 to mention a few).

 In 1948, Israel was reborn as a sovereign nation and in 1967 the heartland of Israel, the media calls“West Bank”, was reunited with the rest of the nation in the prophetic, miraculous Six Day War. Although Jordan occupied half of Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria for 19 years and Egypt occupied the Gaza Strip during the same period, there was never any attempt to form a Palestinian State at this time. The land remained barren until the Jews returned to cultivate it. This is truly the fulfillment of prophecy.

As a matter of fact, when Israel was reborn as a nation, 160 other countries acknowledged her as a non-racist democracy. Today, Arabs hold public office in the Knesset and high positions in its military. This nation believes people are made in the image of G-D and endowed with inalienable rights. 

It’s infuriating to hear Israel demonized by the mainstream media, the U.N. and people who have little to no understanding of biblical and historical facts. Our group should help clear away some of that misinformation and outright faulty thinking.
