Facts about Israel were need to address:
1. In the Old Testament, God Almighty chose Israel, as a nation; not because they were stronger, more numerous, morally superior, etc. He just chose them, unconditionally. (Deuteronomy 7:6-11)
2. The Church is NOT Israel. The Church (believers in Jesus Christ, chosen by God) is separate and distinct from Israel, like men and women. (Romans 11:16–24)
3. Jews aren’t ALL saved. Jews ethnicity (bloodline) doesn’t save them; God does, through His sovereign, perfect plan and purpose of election. (Romans 9:6-13)
4. God will keep & fulfill His promises (Hebrews 6:13-18, 10:23), regarding Israel. He did not love them (chose them), to damn them. He did not call them, to cancel His promises.
5. Christians aren’t called to unequivocally (without question) support the modern-day state of Israel. It’s sinful, filled with debauchery, deceit, corruption & many there have rejected Christ. BUT, Israel, as a nation, as a people, remains. Without their existence, there would be no way for God to fulfill His covenants and His integrity, and the legitimacy & infallibility of God’s Word (The Bible) is at stake…
There’s a lot more to discuss in depth, obviously, but there are far too many opinions being promoted and people platformed, in and out of The Church, that don’t have a proper Biblical understanding of Israel, or they are purposely manipulating their audiences to believe things about the nation of Israel, and its people, in both support & opposition, that serves them personally, politically, and/or financially.
