I’ve been reading about the many Democrats who are anti-Semitic and how Kamala and Biden lash out at this tiny country daily. That led me to wonder about people all over the world that hate Israel and act similarly. To me Israel is one of the greatest proofs of Bible truth that exists today. Consider the size of Israel. It is about 473 times smaller than the United States. Israel is just 263 mi long from north to south, and its width ranges from 71 miles to, at its narrowest point, 9.3 miles. Can you imagine a country just 9.3 miles wide?
Worldwide there are an estimated 8 billion people on earth, Jews comprise a mere .2 percent of that amount at about 14.2 million Jews. Statistically Jewish people should barely be mentioned in the annals of time; however, a disproportionate number of achievements in every realm of worldwide culture have been attributed to Jewish people. a people which constitute 2/10ths of 1 percent of the world’s population and the U.S. population, has made such enormous contributions to the betterment of humanity.
To cite some examples: In hi-tech entrepreneurship, Jewish names include: Intel (Grove and Vadasz), Google (Brin and Page), Oracle (Ellison), Microsoft (Balmer), Dell (Dell), Qualcom (Jacobs), Facebook (Zuckerberg and Sandberg). In finance, the names are legendaty: Goldman Sachs, Rothschild, Warburg, Kohlberg, Kravis & Roberts, Wells Fargo, Bear Stearns, and many more. As World Chess champions, Jews have held the title 54% of the time since 1866. In the 113th United States Congress (2013-2015), Jews were elected to 11 percent of U.S. Senate seats. Jews account for three of the nine Supreme Court Justices. 51% non-fiction Pulitzer prizes, 23% of Nobel Prizes. Salk and others have made tremendous impact on medicine/ Not all Jewish people are stalwarts of the betterment of humanity. Karl Marx has had a tremendous impact on the world but not for its betterment. Albert Einstein gave us the nuclear bomb. George Soros works tirelessly to destroy morality.
How can such a tiny population achieving such monumental things be explained? They are God’s chosen people dating back to a covenant made with Abraham who was found to be singularly righteous. Abraham’s faith blessed an entire nation. It is no mystery why Israel and Jewish people are hated all over the world. God loves them and Satan hates them. The United States is Israel’s only real ally, and this is one reason she has been blessed by God among all other nations.
The Bible clearly predicts the persecution of the Jews and after Jesus was crucified they were scattered all over the world. One of the main events we were told to look for as a precursor to the End Times was the regathering of the Jews in the Promised Land of Israel. That occurred in 1948. It is also mentioned that Israel will be surrounded by enemies and Russia and China will become part of it as will Europe. Yep that is happening today.
No matter how anyone chooses to spin this, it is undeniable that these prophecies are occurring. Name any other tiny country or ethnicity that is as tiny that is mentioned every day in the world news. Almighty God chose this nation to bring us the Bible and Jesus was born a Jew. God determined to call out a special people for Himself, and through that special people He would bring blessing to all the nations, (Jesus). All of us should rebuke oppose and vote out of office those members of Congress who despise and revile Israel. For us to turn our back on Israel is equivalent to committing suicide as a nation.
One of my best friends died last year and he just could not get over the fact that it was the Jewish people who crucified Christ and thus he rejected Judaism out of hand. He did not study his Bible enough to understand that Israel as a nation will be converted, forgiven, and restored (Romans 11:25–27 – 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, as it is . . . ) Israel will repent and receive the forgiveness of God in the future. The Abrahamic Covenant finds its ultimate fulfillment in connection with the return of Messiah to rescue and bless His people Israel. It is through the nation Israel that God promised to bless the nations of the world. That ultimate blessing will manifest itself in the forgiveness of sins and Messiah’s glorious kingdom reign on earth.
Genesis 12:1
Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.
