What will it take...
to get Church leaders to see that God's Kingdom purposes are tied in with what is happening in Israel today? They need to see:
- The connection between the return of Messiah Yeshua and the return of the Jews to their land and their God (Psa. 102:16; Matt. 23:37-39).
- That the restoration of Israel is not for Israel's sake - but ulti-mately for God's holy name's sake (Ezek. 36).
- The relationship between Israel and the Church in the light of biblical truth. The Church is not a separate entity from Israel, but the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, that in their seed all the nations of the earth would be blessed.
- Christian Zionists being Yeshua centered, not Israel centered. Messiah is the reason for all we say and do - including in our emphasis on Israel. Being Yeshua centered is the norm for the redeemed (Heb. 12:2; 1 John 1:1-4; Rev. 4:5-14).
"The word which God sent unto the children of Israel,
preaching peace by Yeshua the Messiah:
(He is Lord of all)"
(Acts 10:36)
