We know that the Jews are God’s chosen people. Jesus was descended from the line of the Jews. In terms of His earthly lineage, He is Jewish. There are many prophecies in the bible concerning the Jews. Many of these prophecies are being fulfilled before our eyes today. Isaiah 46:9-10 “ Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:”
The bible tells us that the Jewish people will be scattered from their land (Leviticus 26:33). It also tells us that they will be brought back to Israel (Ezekiel 36:24). Many Jewish people have returned to their homeland. The area in the middle east has been turbulent. Israel has many enemies who would like to destroy them. The bible tells us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Psalm 122:6 “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.”
We also see where The Lord, Himself will fight against the enemies of Israel. Zechariah 9: “It shall be In that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.” However, there are many scriptures detailing the troubles that Israel will face before the return of the Lord.
When the Lord returns to rule on the earth, He will do it from Israel. Revelation 21:2-3 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.”
Pray that more Jewish people will accept Jesus as their Savior before His return. The bible tells us that He came unto His own and His own received Him not. John 1:11-13 “He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
Today, Israel is under attack. Pray for peace and for the protection of the Jewish people.
