WHY INVEST IN BLESSING ISRAEL?

Genesis 12:3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

This is a profound blessing that eludes most Christians.  Why?  The enemy is terrified of the salvation of Israel. It is the key to the salvation of the world!  He will do anything to keep the gospel from the Jewish people. Therefore he has blinded the minds of so many Christians so that fail to see that they are called to bring salvation back to the people it first came from.  No wonder the devil is scared.  The last time Jewish people embraced the word of God and proclaimed it, they turned the world upside down!

God will win in the end.  He wants the entire body of Messiah to bless Israel.  Many of the blessings in scripture are conditional and this is the first of them all.  Blessing Abraham’s descendents so thrills the heart of God that He promised to bless those who bless them.  I pray that Christians understand that as they bless the Jewish people they are really blessing themselves.  You see Israel is called to be a light to the nations, a blessing to all the families of the earth.  As the Jewish people are blessed by the nations, they in turn will be a blessing to them.  This is a biblical principle.  You cannot out bless God!   Bless God’s chosen nation and you will be blessed.  The return of Israel to their God will release the greatest blessings the world has ever known.  It is amazing we can all be part of it!

Romans 11:¹⁵For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
