Who Says GOD Has Finished With The Jewish People?
Many Christians wrongly believe that, because GOD rejected His people for a time, He relinquished any responsibility for them or obligation to them for ever. In effect, they're saying He abandoned His people totally and comletely from there on.
Some Christians feel that GOD finished with the Jewish people at the cross of Calvary; they blame them for 'murdering' Jesus (as they put it) and call them "Christ killers". Such people believe the Covenant promises that GOD made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob passed to the Church and that the Church has replaced Israel in GOD's scheme of things.
That is the biggest load of bunkum ever to come out of the mouths of otherwise friendly, reasonable, likeable and intelligent people. Unfortunately, such Sunday Christians -- pew warmers -- do not read and study the Word of GOD or ask the Holy Spirit to reveal scripture to them so that they might understand what The Most High is trying to say to them; otherwise, they wouldn't make such asinine statements or preach and teach such silly, stupid and ridiculous nonsense.
Replacement theology, as it's called, is extremely dangerous and has no place in the lives of the followers of Jesus the Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach.
YHVH, Adonai, the GOD of Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya'akov has NOT, did NOT and will NOT EVER abandon His chosen people, Israel. Look at Jeremiah 31:35-37. . .
Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for light by day, and the fixed order of the moon and stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; the LORD of Hosts is His name: "If this fixed order departs from before Me," declares the LORD, "then the offspring of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever." Thus says the LORD, "If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out below, then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel for all they have done," declares the LORD.
Which part of that do the replacement theology advocates not understand? ;-)
Look at Jeremiah 31:37. . .
Thus says the LORD, "If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out below, then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done", declares the LORD.
The sun and moon are still shining, and as long as they are, Israel will FOREVER remain His chosen people, a nation before Him, forever.

In AD70, Emperor Titus went through Jerusalem stealing and destroying and killing and carried off many thousands of Jewish people into captivity. Many were scattered around the globe. God allowed their land and property to be taken away from them; indeed, He allowed them to be removed from the Land.
Against all odds, and in spite of being on the receiving end of the curses of Deuteronomy 28, they managed to retain and maintain their identity. In 1948 GOD decided to bring His chosen people back into the Land and Israel was reborn.
They have, with GOD's help, survived war after war and no matter what we as Christian believers think or feel about the Jewish people, they are still GOD's CHOSEN PEOPLE, and we are to respect that fact. So the sooner we get used to it, the better. The Jewish people are GOD's chosen people, the apple of His eye, and we as believers are called to serve them, to be a blessing to them, to help them in any way possible, and to pray and intercede for them. That's not me saying it, GOD commands it in His Word.
Isaiah 60:12 "For the nation and the kingdom which will not serve you (Israel) will perish, and the nations will be utterly ruined, destroyed"!
That is YHVH, the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob speaking through he prophet Isaiah and that statement alone should fill us with dread and great concern for the Church and the nation.
Genesis 12:3 "I will bless those who bless you, and curse him who curses (or makes light of) you".
We, the Church and the nation, are guilty of not serving Israel and of making light of Israel; we are guilty of disregarding GOD's instructions to followers of Yeshua (Jesus) regarding His People and His Land. The time to right those wrongs is way overdue. It is time for "The Church" and the Government to call a National Day of Repentance and Prayer NOW!!!
Look at what Jeremiah 23:7-8 says. . . (remember this is GOD speaking through His servant, Jeremiah). . .
"Therefore behold, the days are coming," declares the LORD, "when they will no longer say, 'As the LORD lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt,' but, 'As the LORD lives, who brought up and led back the descendants of the household of Israel from the north land and from all the countries where I have driven them.' Then they will live on their own soil."
The days referred to in this scripture from Jeremiah are now. . . the days we are living in; we are seeing this prophecy unfold before our very eyes.
Right now, GOD is giving those nations (where Jewish people are living) a unique opportunity to bless His people by helping them make aliyah (return to Israel). We have many Jewish people living in our own nation; here is our opportunity to be a blessing to them.
GOD is calling them home. He wants His people back in the Land. Over recent years many have answered His call and made aliyah, in spite of all the troubles. The Jewish people responding positively to the call of GOD are in the will of The Almighty and Israel becomes THE safest place for them; far safer than where they have been living all or most of their lives.
By getting involved with those who are helping Jewish people to make aliyah to Israel, we can serve them and bless them. By donating finances to the various charitable trusts specifically established to help the Jewish people return to the homeland of their forefathers, we can be a blessing.
From the beginning of July to the end of August this year (2006), 4000+ people made aliyah to Israel from different parts of the world. On August 16 alone, three flights landed in Israel from New York, Toronto and London, carrying over 800 Jewish people to the place where GOD wants them to be. The Israeli authorities expect 24,000 Jewish people to make aliyah during 2006. And we can be part of it by giving our finances to organizations such as Operation Exodus, Ebenezer Emergency Fund, EbenezerUSA or Exobus, and/or volunteering to help wherever possible.
