ISRAEL: APPLE OF GOD'S EYE

Résumé du livre

The first Jew was a Gentile. Prior to Abraham, there were no Jews—there was no nation of Israel.

Israel exists by the sovereign choice, plan, and action of God—the sovereign ruler of the universe. It deserves to be carefully acknowledged and recognised because of that origin—and more.

No other nation has ever attracted the detailed care, protection, and specific purpose as has Israel.

Through the Abrahamic Covenant, Israel was to become:

1.     A great nation, deriving from Abraham. This was a personal blessing.

2.     They would be given a land to possess—the land of Canaan. Beware of trifling with God’s determination here.

3.     Through the descendants of Abraham, down to Christ, there would be an international blessing. This belated nation would become central to God’s purpose in order to determine the salvation destiny of the whole world.

God warned:

3I will bless those who bless you,

and whoever curses you I will curse;

Genesis 12:3.

Nations that have failed to appreciate that statement, have learned to their own detriment., if they have tried to oppose Israel: they are opposing Israel’s God.

Nations who have supported Israel, have benefited from the blessing of Israel’s God.

Don’t mess with Israel! They are the Apple of God’s Eye!
