“Why Israel”
Yeshua the Messiah starts the greatest of all commands with these Words “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.” In this regard it is apparent that we acknowledge that the God of Israel, meaning the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the one and only true living God, the Creator of heaven and earth and the Father of our Lord and Savior Yeshua the Messiah.
In Romans 4 Paul continues in reference to the promise of God, saying that the fulfillment of the promise is based on trust in God. Now Abraham trusted God for the promised land and we as gentiles trust God for the forgiveness of sin through His Son Yeshua the Messiah. Both promises are from the one and only true living God (YHWH) and both is equal in value as Paul explains that God’s promises or gifts are irrevocable.
Based on the mentioned, if I trust in God to fulfill His promise based on His Word concerning Yeshua His Son, then I must honor God’s promise concerning the land of Israel as an everlasting inheritance to Jacob (Israel) and his children.
Therefore if you are in agreement with the mentioned, we invite you to join us on this journey of F.A.I.T.H. (Free Adventure In Trusting Him) as we prepare a way for both Jew and gentile to come into their full inheritance in Christ Jesus.
Consider the following with regard to God’s Word concerning Israel :
- “Nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name, which ADONAI ’s mouth will bestow. You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of ADONAI, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.” Isaiah 62:2-3 TLV
- “On your walls, Jerusalem, I have set watchmen. All day and all night, they will never hold their peace. “You who remind ADONAI, take no rest for yourselves, And give Him no rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.” Isaiah 62:6-7 TLV
- “Behold, ADONAI has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to the Daughter of Zion, “Behold, your salvation comes! See, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.” Then they will call them The Holy People, The Redeemed of ADONAI, and you will be called, Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.”Isaiah 62:11-12 TLV
- “It will come to pass in the last days that the mountain of ADONAI ’s House will stand firm as head of the mountains and will be exalted above the hills. So all nations will flow to it. Then many peoples will go and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of ADONAI, to the House of the God of Jacob! Then He will teach us His ways, and we will walk in His paths.” For Torah will go forth from Zion and the word of ADONAI from Jerusalem. Isaiah 2:2-3 TLV
- “For you are a holy people to ADONAI your God—from all the peoples on the face of the earth, ADONAI has chosen you to be His treasured people. Deuteronomy 14:2 TLV
- “For ADONAI has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel as His treasured possession.”Psalms 135:4 TLV
- “My desire is to bless those who bless you, but whoever curses you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”Genesis 12:3 TLV
- “For the nation and the kingdom which will not serve you will perish— those nations will be utterly ruined.”Isaiah 60:12 TLV
- “Yes, I will plant them on their land, and they will never again be plucked up out of their land that I have given to them.” ADONAI, your God, has said it.”Amos 9:15 TLV
- ““Then say to them, thus says ADONAI Elohim: ‘Behold, I will take Bnei-Yisrael from among the nations, where they have gone. I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will be king to them all. They will no longer be two nations and never again be divided into two kingdoms.”Ezekiel 37:21-22 TLV
- “The land that I gave to Abraham and to Isaac— I give it to you, and to your seed after you I will give the land.” Genesis 35:12 TLV
- “Then many nations will go and say : Come, let us go up to the mountain of ADONAI, to the House of the God of Jacob! Then He will direct us in His ways, and we will walk in His paths. For Torah will go forth from Zion, and the Word of ADONAI from Jerusalem. Micah 4:2 TLV
Israel was instrumental and still is part of God’s plan to show us His salvation through His Son Jesus Christ, we count it a privilege to be instrumental in God’s hand to learn the lessons God intended for us to learn through His covenant promise with Israel.
