I’ve heard many narratives about Israel since God saved me back in 1989. These ideas and opinions have continued to escalate and have become deeply polarizing. Some have even questioned me traveling back to Jerusalem again this week, so I want to make a few things clear. First, Scripture confirms—and I agree—that God cares about all nations and all people around the world (Genesis 12:3; Psalm 67:1–2). This is why Jesus Christ commanded us to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18–20). I also want to be clear that repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ are absolutely necessary and foundational for the salvation of anyone (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 10:9–13)—no one is saved apart from Christ. At the same time, Scripture is crystal clear that God made an enduring covenant with the Jewish people. He has not rejected them (Romans 11:1). He has not replaced them with the Church (Romans 11:17–24). He has not revoked His promises (Romans 11:29). This covenant was established and reaffirmed in Genesis 12:1–3; Genesis 15:1–7; Genesis 17:1–8; Jeremiah 31:6–8; Jeremiah 32:37–41; Ezekiel 36:22–28; Ezekiel 37:21–28; and Romans 9–11. God’s covenant is unilateral, everlasting, national, geographic, and redemptive—rooted in real history and permanent by God’s own oath (Genesis 15:17–21; Isaiah 54:10). These truths are not based on human obedience or merit, but on God’s mercy and grace (Deuteronomy 7:7–9). God has always had a special covenantal relationship with this people since He called Abraham (Genesis 12:1–3). He has also been faithful to make them a great nation (Genesis 17:4–8), discipline them when necessary (Leviticus 26:33–45), and restore them to the land (Deuteronomy 30:1–6; Ezekiel 36:24)—fulfilled in modern history on May 14, 1948. Yet in spite of God’s faithfulness, in every generation there seems to arise a group that seeks to wipe the Jewish people off the face of the earth—whether it was Haman in antiquity (Esther 3–7), Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin in the 20th century, or those today who blame this nation for everything that goes wrong in the world (Psalm 83:2–4). Many have claimed that the Jewish state is responsible for the October 7 invasion because of “decades of occupation and oppression.” This popular narrative collapses under biblical and historical scrutiny: God granted the land thousands of years ago (Genesis 15:18–21; Joshua 21:43–45), there have been repeated wars launched against this nation (Psalm 2:1–2), numerous peace offers have been rejected, and Gaza has not been occupied since 2005—but has instead been overtaken by the evil of Hamas since 2007. Justice and moral clarity require us to name evil for what it is (Isaiah 5:20; Proverbs 17:15). October 7 was not mutual aggression—it was a massacre of civilians, pure evil. This is not about Jews, Christians, or Palestinians as people (Genesis 1:27). This is about extremists who are intentionally wicked (Psalm 11:5). I’m praying for mercy, truth, and the saving work of Christ for all involved (1 Timothy 2:1–4; 2 Peter 3:9). And let us never forget this: the God-Man, the Lord Jesus Christ, was born a Jew (Matthew 1:1; John 4:22). Our Savior came through Israel. Throughout history this tiny nation has been hated, hunted, and targeted by its enemies—and that spiritual hostility continues today. Yet the Word of God is unmistakably clear that we are to stand with and bless Israel (Genesis 12:3; Psalm 122:6; Romans 15:27). When the world chants “Death to Israel,” it is also shouting “Death to America,” because the same demonic spirit that energizes hatred toward Israel also fuels hatred toward the gospel, toward America, and toward every people who desire freedom. Ambassador Mike Huckabee recently said, “Israel is the appetizer, but America is the entrée.” So as a Christian, an American, and a pastor, I unashamedly stand with Israel. 🇮🇱
