🎙️Part 6 | Should Christians Really Bless Israel?

If believers don’t bless Israel, will they really be cursed?

In light of all the controversy surrounding Israel today, people from every background, secular and Christian are weighing in. And when many Christians are asked why they choose to support Israel today, their answer is simple: “Because the Bible says that those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursed” (Genesis 12:3).

But not everyone agrees with that line of thinking. Many of our Christian brothers and sisters quickly push back and say, “That promise was only for Abraham. Not Israel. You’re taking that out of context! That doesn’t apply to the nation of Israel today.” Others add, “Well, that was Old Testament.” Or, “Blessing Israel doesn’t mean you have to support the modern Israeli government.”

And then come the stronger objections like, “We don’t support Israel because:

“Most Jews reject Jesus.”

“Not all Israel is Israel” (Romans 9:6).

“The Jews killed Jesus.”

“The Book of Revelation Israel a synagogue of Satan” (Revelation 2:9; 3:9).

“Why should we bless people who don’t believe in Christ?”

These are serious statements. And they deserve serious, careful, biblical answers.

If you are someone who prays for Israel or stands with her, you have likely heard these objections. So let’s look at what the Bible actually says, no politics, no opinions just the Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16).
