War In Israel: What it means for Christians

- Why should Christians support Israel? How should followers of Jesus process this war in the Middle East? Who can we believe? What should Christians do? These are questions I’ve been getting since the war started in Israel, so I wanted to take a few minutes and hopefully shed a little light on the things that you’re hearing and reading about.

We pray for Israelis. We pray for Palestinians. We pray for Brazilians. We pray for the Japanese. We pray for all men. We pray for God's will to prevail. We pray for the salvation of the lost.
Doesn't seem to be helping does it?
God does not call us to bless and support ppl who actively deny and reject Christ as king. Love thy neighbor does not mean bless thy enemy. the ratio for every man walking the earth today is less than 1/30 ppl being direct Jewish descendants from the original 3. It is a manufactured misrepresentation of the word to say God defends Israel and the Jews when the majority do not believe in the Bible in general. Babylonian Talmud practice which disregards most of the Torah and old testament teachings...these are Jews who are not but say they are. We as Christ believers thru faith are the real "Jews" and Israelites as stated across the Bible old testament to the New. Galatians 3:29 Godbless. Jesus Christ be praised.
@@projandra4764 One thing I've learned about nearly all Christians is that they say they know their Bible, but don't because very few ever study it. If I ask one a question, an obvious question, they rarely have the answer.
@@user-sk7zc1fc5u this is because, generally, most ppl who call themselves Christians have manufactured their own (but counterfeit) 'Jesus' that fits their world view based on how misrepresented biblical analogy has been portrayed to them. Most don't spend the hours and hours required to simply grasp the full nature of every verse in the Bible. The mistake is taking every word as literal as possible which is what is taught generically but not correct. the bible is allegorical by design. Proverbs 24:5 Proverbs 20:24 Mark 4:11 Luke 8:10 Matthew 16:12
Amen
Hi Rob my heart goes out to the innocent people in the conflict on both sides how many are not believers in Christ and now are lost in a Christless eternity. 😢 I will be praying for peace as I have been doing already.
The best thing we can do in this situation is pray and pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for the salvation of Israelites and Palestinians alike.
People have been praying for dozens of years. Maybe prayer doesn't work.
@@user-sk7zc1fc5u Not Necessarily. You are dealing with something that a materialist worldview can never address.
@@joshuamelton9148 I was a good strong Christian for 40 years but then I began reading and studying in a book and became an atheist,
@@scented-leafpelargonium3366 The most proper name for the people who call themselves Palestinians would be Syrians as they were called under the Ottoman Empire.
Israeli is simply the model term for the word Israelites. No different calling a person from America an American or someone for Japan Japanese.
Rob, I am grateful for your words of support. I am a Jewish believer in Yeshua. We together, comprise what Paul called the "...one new man.". For the peace of Jerusalem, and the salvation of Israel through Meshiach, let us be unified in prayer. Sincerely, Pastor Greg
Amen, Pastor Greg!
Shalom, Rob
As Christian, we pray that Jews and muslims can receive the truth. The truth is Jesus is the Lord and Savior amen
I hope you and your family are well. I always learn when I listen. thanks Rob.
Thank you for this informative video! All the content you do. God bless you
Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. Thank you for sharing the sites that we can donate funds to. God bless you and peace be upon Israel.
Thank you for this message.
Thank you for sharing this. My concern is using the Bible to justify a Jewish state, which in turn may obligate Christians in separating Jews and Christians. Should we recognize that all nations are to be discipled in Christ no matter the lineage or ethnic background? I'm asking this difficult question as I come from a R C Sproul postmillenial eschatology that recognizes the significance of 70AD as prophecy fulfilled, when Christians were told to flee to the mountains when Jerusalem was to be surrounded. I fear your statement, referring to Christ's return to a specific location is being used to over shadow the promise of salvation through Christ as also a promise to the promised land had already been fulfilled and now we embrace the promise revealed though Christ death for our salvation. Has not the promised land already been fulfilled to Israel in the Bible and now we are to conquer the nations with Christ and the promise is Christ for all peoples who come to him. I ask this in full sincerity and concern as I see Christians and Jews treat this conflict as end times prophecy which may lead to unknown wars all in the name of the Bible prophecy. I appreciate your work and please guide me as I grow in my faith. God Bless you and may Israel defend herself from the terrorists and enemies.
Thank you!
God did bless the nations through the Seed of Abraham. That Seed is Christ Jesus. I don't ascribe to replacement theology, which is: The Church replaced Israel as being the apple of God's eye. My perspective, however, is Jesus Christ is the embodiment of Israel and the people of God (Christians) abide in Him. He is the Vine, the true Israel and we Christians abide in him as the branches.
One way to look at it is the Church, the body of Christ, including Christ as the head, was once a caterpillar/Israel and is now a butterfly: Still Israel, but in its fullness including all the ethnic people groups that God created.
I don't understand what Paul meant by "the time of the Gentiles" but I'm certain it doesn't contradict the rest of scripture and what it says about Christ from Genesis to Revelation. Edited to add: The hatred the world has toward Jews is undeniably prevalent and it seems it is comparable to its hatred toward Jesus...which is interesting.
I wish people would spend as much time seeing Christ in all of scripture and Him ruling outside the limits of time as they do in eschatology which places Christ in specific periods of time, especially the future, which, in my opinion, limits His relevance. He "Was, Is and Shall be" simultaneously...operating in the past, present and future all at the same time.
Thank you, David. You bring up some good points. Support for Israel's right to exist in peace is not at odds with our earnest prayers that all Jews would come to faith in their Messiah, Jesus. This is why I support organizations in Israel made up of Jewish believers in Jesus. Israel needs the Gospel (Rom. 11:25-32)!
At the same time, the land of Israel is where the Bible tells us Christ will return, no matter who's in charge of the land at the time. And it doesn't speak of a New London or a New Washington DC, but a New Jerusalem: "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband" (Rev 21:1-2).
Blessings,
Rob
What if Replacement Theology and Preterism are utterly wrong? Would you then be ready to change your mind and pray for Jerusalem?
@@John3.36 Please don't use strawmen arguments by assuming that people don't pray for Jerusalem because of their eschatology. Some don't adhere to any of it because the question isn't 'when will Jesus return' but rather who Jesus is. That's the question we must answer as Thomas did..."my Lord and my God" and then go and live it out. I've heard adherants of every position twist scripture to align with their belief of the Second Coming of Christ. It's good to read Scripture contextually through the eyes of those who the words were specifically directed at because we're like children looking at old family photos and asking our parents..."where am I" as if we are the reference point in interpreting the relevancy of the picture. Every generation believes they are in the final chapter, even the first generation. And yet the admonitions still stand.. "watch and pray" and "don't be deceived."
YOU ARE LUCKY PROFESSOR. WE PRAY FOR PEACE THOUGH THESE THINGS MUST COME
Thank you for your wise leadership! Prayers for sure! I stand with 🇮🇱
#Helpful! 🙏
100% in agreement with your view!
I whole heartedly agree on this video brother, thank you for sharing Professor Solberg... Shalom Shalom...
It can be hard to pray for one’s enemies, especially given the hateful blasphemy towards Our Lord and Saviour, which is documented in the Jewish Talmud. Nevertheless, we must pray that those currently against Jesus Christ come to sincere repentance and trust in Him and Him only. 🙏
Thank you for your input.
Do you think we should consider the fact that the Jews of Jesus’ time are quite different to the Rabbinic Talmudic Judaism that came about after 70AD?
I watched an interesting documentary documentary called “Marching to Zion”. I want to do what’s right. Are we to bless those who curse God? I guess we pray for all unbelievers to come to Christ, right? I struggle with elevating one particular group over another, as I believe that all people have the same intrinsic value and are created in the image of God.
@@ShiaDiscourse
Well, become one today...The God of Israel sent Jesus for Israel AND the Nations...God's got a plan, that while it can be confusing I initially, due to religion, just come to Jesus.He loves you,and the hour is getting late, so go to God and talk to Him. Accept His one and only Mediator between us and Him..Jesus.
Well said.
Well said my friend.
I am sorry about your trip. Praying for Israel. I have friends over there right now.
I would like to recommend the documentary "Marching to Zion", the sermon "A Biblical View of Israel" by Zach Davis, and the sermon "Who is a Jew?" by Berean Bible Church. All can be found on TH-cam. 👌
"You who love the LORD, hate evil."
I've been doing some online research today, but so far I can't figure out who the good guys and the bad guys are. Israelis of the Hamas/Palestinians?
HAMAS are hands down the bad guys here. They launched an unprovoked attack in which they targeted innocent, unarmed civilians.

Praise God! Well said! Dietrich’a quote convicted me! His life is such a strengthening testimony!
Numbers 33:55 “‘But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from you, then it will come about that those whom you let remain of them will be like thorns in your eyes and like pricks in your sides, and they will trouble you in the land in which you live. 56 And just as I plan to do to them, I will do to you.’” (NASB)
Judges 2:1 Now the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, “I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers; and I said, ‘I will never break My covenant with you, 2 and as for you, you shall not make a covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed Me; what is this thing that you have done? 3 Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out from you; but they will become like thorns in your sides, and their gods will be a snare to you.’” 4 Now when the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, the people raised their voices and wept. (NASB)
The one who has ears, let him hear.
Would you personally kill Palestinian men, women & children?
Please answer
Great explanation ❤ wish this had more views
Why is this conflict different for a Christian than any other conflict in the world? As Christians we pray for peace and God's will to be done everywhere. We pray for the salvation of all men, regardless of ethnic backgrounds. That is all my duty is as a Christian. No nation is special in God's eye anymore. The Lord Jesus removed that barrier forever. And i am not belittling the horrific nature of (this) war.

Thanks Rob. Psalm 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May they prosper who love you.
"Brethren, I want you to know this secret so that you do not think too highly of yourselves: hardening has come upon a part of Israel, and so it shall remain until the Gentiles in full come in. And that is that all Israel shall be saved, as it is written: Out of Zion shall come the Savior, and take away the wickedness of Jacob: and this is my covenant with them, when I take away their sins. For the sake of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but for the sake of the election they are BELOVED for the sake of the fathers, for God does not change his gifts and his calling."
God loves the Jewish people and that is how we should see it as Christians.
YAH Will is at hand!
Praise YAH firmly
Worship YAH humbly
Give thanks for the Messiah Halalu-YAH!
Since this video was uploaded 4 days after the Hamas attacks, I’ll cut it some slack. But I’ll say this, though we acknowledge the special place Israel hold in history, Christianity and in God’s plan, no where in scripture are Christians encouraged to make special prayers for Israel. Paul’s command is that prayers be made for ALL people and ALL in authority for us to live peacefully. A month later into the war I would say Christians should be more inclined to donate and support Palestinian civilians in getting humanitarian aid. The Israel government has, like Hamas, shown no regard for human lives which is against Christian teachings.
Israeli News Live has been very informative.
Yes as awesome Geddy sang in the song Freewill. So many awesome artists are actually Jewish, also David Lee Roth not to be confused with Sid Roth, lol, Alice Cooper, Benjamin Orr from the cars, just to name a few.
Alice Cooper is a born again Christian
Praying for Israel and All the innocents on both sides that are affected by this horrific act of barbarism! 🙏🙏🙏😢
Amen 🙏
I'm surprised. In the video titled "Why we cannot follow the Gospel of Jesus AND the Law of Moses at the same time" you do such an excellent job. Then in the video, you give credence to the place that pushes the Old Testament law of Moses as if it is still relevant to Christians.

Hallo. My name is Ihor. I'm from Ukraine. We have in Russian speaking world an analog of Tovia Singer. His name is Michael Finkel. Could you have a debate with him? He is also a Rabbi. Topic: Jesus's Origin. Who were His parents? If you are ready I can organise your debates
Psalm 122:6
The source of truth is not the news but it is the Bible and Jesus. Jesus said you will hear about wars and rumors of wars. But you don't be troubled. But you escape to the mountains. Is that not so?
Rob. Can/should Christians send humanitarian aid to Palestinians also? Note: I did not say Hamas.
Hello, Apos. My personal opinion is that if someone was able to provide humanitarian aid to the innocent Palestinians suffering because of this war (and that humanitarian aid would not be confiscated or used to benefit HAMAS), then by all means, do it! Bless them in the name of Jesus.

How can you ensure that the money sent to "Palestine" will not be used for terror?
very true, salvation of lost mankind is most important.... irrespective of land, religion, caste creade
BTW Rob
Proverbs 28-9
9] He that turneth away his ear from hearing the TORAH ie law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
In Hebrew, תּוֹרָ֑ה _can_ mean "law," but it is more properly interpreted as "instruction, direction." So for Christians who are not under the Law of the Sinai Covenant, this verse is understood as, "If one turns away his ear from hearing God's instruction and direction, even his prayer is an abomination."
Blessings, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots your saying it. YAHs instruction and direction. That's TORAH.

Solberg what do the gentiles that are currently occupying the land of Israel have to do with the scattered Israelites throughout the world? Scripture tells us that he is going to gather them back in the land in the end times and that the Gentiles will be occupying the land until then.
I’m very confused at your stance. This seems like mainstream Christian doctrine.
Hi Indo. I’m not saying we should support Israel because Israel is so great. Rather, we should support Israel because *_God_* is so great, and He chose Israel, and He brought salvation to the world through Israel in Jesus.
"Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And in this way *all Israel will be saved"* (Rom 11:25-26)

THE PROMISED LAND IS BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH NOT RACE.
"THE PROMISES were spoken to Abraham (Not Jewish) and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, WHO IS CHRIST (Gen 12:7; 15:18;22:18; 26:4 ). 17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the COVENANT PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED BY GOD and thus do away with THE PROMISE (Of Isaac supernaturally born-Gen. 18:10,14/21:2,3). 18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on THE PROMISE; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a PROMISE." (Galatians 3/Gen. 15:4-6)
Abraham's Seed started with The Promise i.e., Isaac (not Jewish), who was supernaturally born and promised to Abram, who believed and was reckoned righteous. (Gen. 15:4-6/Ro. 4:2,3) Isaac was also 'in a figure' Raised (He. 11:17-19-a type of Christ) This was THE GOSPEL in Genesis.. Isaac never got the land but Joshua/Yeshua/Insous/Jesus led believers to the Promised Land in the book of Joshua. But they never entered into God's rest (He. 4:8-10). That will come to those that believe in Jesus (Jew or Gentile)
Jesus was supernaturally born as well, but the Bible when referring to Jesus being Begotten is referring to His Resurrection (Acts 13:32,33). Abraham's seed are Christians (of the spirit-Gal. 4:27-31) believing Christ, where 'there is neither Jew nor Gentile' (Gal. 3:28,29). Jacob's seed can come along if they believe and become Christians. (Ro. 9:6-9)
Unbelieving Israel over there today doesn't get the promised land.
The Gospel in Genesis
"By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. 9 BY FAITH he made his home in THE PROMISED LAND like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For HE WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CITY WITH FOUNDATIONS, WHOSE ARCHITECT AND BUILDER IS GOD. 11 And BY FAITH even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, WAS ENABLED TO BEAR children (Isaac) because she considered him faithful who had made the promise. 12 And so FROM THIS ONE MAN, and he as good as dead, came descendants (Spiritual as well) as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore....15 IF they had been THINKING OF THE COUNTRY THEY HAD LEFT THEY WOULD HAVE HAD OPPORTUNITY TO RETURN.. 16 Instead, they were longing for a BETTER COUNTRY-A HEAVENLY ONE. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for HE HAS PREPARED A CITY FOR THEM.
17 BY FAITH ABRAHAM, when God tested him, offered ISAAC AS A SACRIFICE (Pic of the death of Christ). He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his ONLY BEGOTTEN SON (Jn. 3:14-16), 18 even though God had said to him, “It is THROUGH ISAAC (NOT JACOB) your offspring will be reckoned.” 19 Abraham reasoned that God could EVEN RAISE THE DEAD (Pic of Rez of Christ), and so in a manner of speaking HE DID RECEIVE ISAAC BACK FROM DEATH..." (He. 11)

Yes I stand with Israel and I also stand with Palestinians that aren't part of Hamas and do not support Hamas. My sincere hope is that they all choose Jesus Christ!
I understand that Israel has to be prioritized when it comes to which country we side with due to the Lord's covenant with them even though so many of them currently reject him!
Best video you've ever done
Everyone pray for the Holy Family Catholic church. It is the only Catholic church on Gaza strip. It has Christians and religious and muslims sheltering there.
What some folks are missing in this video is that I am not saying we should support Israel because Israel is so great. Rather, we should support Israel _because God is so great,_ and He chose Israel. Israel is a nation full of sinners, just like every other nation. Whether modern Israel can be considered a "great" nation is a matter of opinion. Whether Israel is the people through whom God chose to bring salvation to the world in Jesus Christ is a matter of biblical fact.
God told Isreal, “For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples, but it is because the Lord loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt." Deut 7:6-8).
Shalom!

Thank you very much for this video, we desperately need this message right now. We disagree about the law and some other subjects, and that's okay, it is just my opinion and how I understand things. I have commented in disagreement with you in some of your other videos, but for this video, and for what it's worth, I am 100 percent in agreement with you. Excellent work and well thought out!
I am seeing a lot of Israel and Jew bashing right now. Some people will not say whether or not they stand with Israel - which means they don't stand with Israel. Most of this is related to conspiracy theories about Israel not being a legitimate nation from God and that the Jews are not real Jews from the Bible, etc. These crazy conspiracy theories are so easy to disprove if they did just a little bit of fact-checking and research. But they don't fact-check because they want these theories to be true, so they look for more false confirmation videos that agree with them. And these videos they watch twist scripture or take it out of context to make their points. They don't realize how antisemitic they really are. Opinions are one thing, but an opinion that leads to trying to delegitimize a group of people who have suffered the holocaust and so many other persecutions because of their faith and who they are, we can be sure that they are not understanding scripture correctly.
So again, thank you for this message. I pray that those with hardened hearts who believe these anti-Jewish and anti-Israel conspiracy theories might have a change of mind.
PS: For those with these or other conspiracy theories who want to debate me, I have no interest in that and won't respond to your comments. You can believe whatever craziness you want, it's a free country.
Thank you, James. Blessings! Rob
Thumbs up. Very good post. Several outstanding points. On the law it depends what you say about law. The 603 Mosaic laws with ten words as a table of contents of the entire book of law was perfect for its purpose. It was an indictment against Israel that crushed them. They were found guilty. Israel needed a new way to relate to God and a new way to be righteous. The new covenant is the result of the Abrahamic covenant being fulfilled. I’m a son of Abraham- not Moses.
It means that people don't take my claims seriously. I can stop it with my discoveries... I can claim Isaiah 52:15 if given the chance. Been at this over 3.5 years now... and I'm tired.
One equavalent I read, if this had happened in the USA, there would be 58,284,000 massacred victims and hostages. Israel is a small country and this was a huge amount of their people
Has Tovia Singer blamed it all on St. Paul yet?
Ever heard of Mossad brother?
The national intelligence agency of Israel? Yes, I've heard of it.
R.
Along with the CIA, they created Hamas and it came back to bite them. The modern state of Israel is not God's work. I am enjoying your teaching on the Jewish Roots movement. We are going though a church split over this in NSW, AUSTRALIA
😰♥️🙏
You should read John Chrysostom's homilies against the Jews. Look them up and read. He was a man of God too, but not a Zionist.
this video is twisted and incorrect and inconclusive.
It is best to pray that both Israel and Palestinians except Jesus as Lord and savior. It is obvious that both parties don't accept him.
God does not show favoritism Romans 2:11.
So I will not favor Israel nor Palestine. I will speak against what is evil on both sides.
You ought to do the same thing.
I would like to know if Israel can still be considered the "chosen nation" in these days. 'Cause they reject Jesus as the Messiah and the "embodiment of God" and so far they didn't do anything to "enlighten and guide the world" or any other great feat in this sense. They also have their fair share of responsibility in this conflict with Palestine, what doesn't seem very "holy" for me.
I watched a video from a Christian channel where they say Israel already fulfilled their role, 'cause Jesus was born and raised among them, and now the real chosen people are the people of Christ. I think this make sense, but I would like to know what the Bible says about this whole thing, especially about how Israel is behaving nowadays.
Look into Islam and see where moses and Jesus fit in. Your questions will be answered. Muslims believe in moses and that he called for the worship of God and not associate partners with him but his people disobeyed. When Jesus came with the miracles they failed to recognise him and tried to crucify him. They did not recognise him and Jesus was taken up to the heavens and will return and testify the true word of God. Us Muslims are waiting for his coming. We are the decendents of Abraham through him came mohamed. All prophets called for one thing... to worship one God and not associate partners with him. Find out more don't turn away from looking for god to guide you.
They rejected God and his commandments throughout their history, and they were still chosen.
Yet you’ve been silent on isreal abusing Palestinians. You are picking a side and it’s alright. Just remember who gave up Christ to be killed. Remember who was spitting on him. Remember who was throwing rocks at him. You picking Israeli side is really bad as a Christian. We should pray for the Jewish people to give Palestine it’s freedom.
Most Jews don't do that. They are very tolerant of both Christians and Muslims. And even if they did such things, Jesus said, "Love your enemies...if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?" (Matt 5:44-47)
And BTW, I’m not saying we should support Israel because Israel is so great. Rather, we should support Israel because GOD is so great, and He chose Israel, and He brought salvation to the world through Israel in Jesus.
Shalom, RLS
@@TheBiblicalRootswhat an ignorant man you are dude. You support israel but doesn't give back about Christians, they spit on you in Jerusalem
Dude this is completely wrong. The nation of Israel in the Bible has nothing to do with Israel the country as we know it today.
Hi, Rick! And yet Jesus speaks in Scripture of a New Jerusalem, not a New Rome, or a New Egypt, or a New Palestine. And Paul says that Israel will be saved in the end (Rom. 11:25-26) and that the Gospel of Jesus is first to the Jew (Rom. 1:16). And the twelve tribes of Israel are mentioned by name in Revelation 7. So I think have to acknowledge there is an enduring sense of Israel and the Jewish people in God's kingdom.
Blessings, Rob
Remember the jewish band members that said, "Love Gun"
But seriously, Israel conquered the land originally by wiping out women and children in what we would consider terrosits actions. But we accept this because we accept their God.
But seriously, Israel has continued to kill innocent civilians over the recent history. I'm not condoning the retaliation from the "terrorists" (I put in quotes because the term is assigned to many people in a way that is meant to demonize them and dehumanize them) but just saying Israel is not innocent in this war.
Anyway, side note: it can and has been argued that the jewish people in the land are converts and not the "real chosen people"
Another side note: Americans rising up against Britain in the 1700s would be labeled as terrosits today of it happened today.
Just some thjngs to keep people thinking critically and not just going along with their brand of propaganda
What about the IDF murdering civilians in Gaza? Where's the video about that ? ? ?
Most of what you said was reasonable, till you started equating the State of Israel with Biblical Israel.
Thanks, Chip. The modern state of Israel is located in the same land written of in Scripture, and populated by many descendants of the same people as biblical Israel. And BTW, I’m not saying we should support Israel because Israel is so great. Rather, we should support Israel because GOD is so great, and He chose Israel, and He brought salvation to the world through Israel in Jesus.
Shalom, RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots Many people in the Middle East who are not Jewish by religion are also descendants of the same people as Biblical Israel, including some Palestinians - some Muslim and some Christian. That's not a reason to support anyone. The physical descendants of Abraham have been cut off from God's covenant people, unless they are grafted back in by submitting to Christ.
5600 palestinians massacred. Simply would peace loving jesus approve of that? You have your answer!
Jesus would not approve of the murder of _any_ innocent person, no matter what their nationality is.
RLS
It’s pure hatred through the ages
It means Jews get punished again from God for not listening to Jesus.
Who will call back Jesus? The jews when they believe, what did Jesus say before he ascended? And to whom? Anybody knows..."You (Israel in context) will not see me UNTIL you (israel) say blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord". Satan knows this and therefore wants to destroy the jews, so yeah, pray for them.
Judaism is the root of Christianity and Islam . Our common God of Israel gave this land to the Jews .If We believed and respect our God why We troubled the Jews?
Tell why I need Mosaic law.
What a hypothetical world we live, indeed all will be accountable fir theur actins free Palestine
They are not terrorists they are the military of Palestine
It is homicidal racism by BOTH SIDES and Murder. Jesus warned and warned BUT NO ONE LISTENS
