Does Anyone Still Support Israel?

If you listen to the worldwide news today, on any media platform, you just might think Israel is the “bad guy” (again, as seemingly always the scape goat) and there is no one left who supports Israel and the Jews.

Whether you read websites, listen to YouTube and podcasts, or go to a church where anything and everything is “preached” except the eternal truth that the Creator chose His Chosen People…you  would think that Israel doesn’t exist; it has no relevance in people’s lives; or the Lord is “done with Israel and the Jews” because “they are the ones who killed Jesus.”

The once very popular conferences, where Christians and Messianics gathered in large numbers to rally around Israel and our Jewish friends are either no longer happening or are sparse in numbers.

Why so?

Even as the Lord trimmed Gideon’s army down to 300; even as the multitudes gathered around Yeshua in His earthly days and then dropped in number to 12 (and even they denied or hid…after the crucifixion); and even as the numbers of support continue to rapidly fall in our day…the Lord still sits on the throne and says, “These are My chosen people. They are mine and I will keep them.”

“From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God’s choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” Romans 11:28,29 NASB

This verse is often used for other purposes but it is talking primarily about the Jews.

As we travel in and around Texas, Christian Friends of Israel Jerusalem are finding a strong remnant of believers supporting Israel.

I count myself among them.

Ahava and Shalom,
