A punch in the eye of God [I Love Israel]

I believe that God CHOSE Israel as the "apple of His eye" to tell them that they will endure much hardship, injustice and hatred/jealousy for it. And that He would be with them and make them prosper as He has.

I just think that when the news tells of how horrible the Israeli's are for having to respond to repeated shelling from the Gaza strip; they are not holding the other side accountable for provoking their own problems. If you ask me, they are looking to start a war to justify taking the land and erasing Israel from the face of the earth.

Israel and Israel's are no more perfect than you and me. But I would not mess with them, they still exist and are thriving and the P are crying and complaining about how badly they are treated, while they are the ones who are so savage and unkind to the Israeli's when Israel welcomes, heals and feeds them even.

Am Israel Chai

Israel is chosen by God and he gave back their land in 1948, and will heal their land and save them in the end times. We live in the end times so much is happening now in the middle east. I am prayeing for them. We Christians are adopteds in to the chosen people and are also Gods children and we love you, as well as Palestine!

@Carazaa For someone who preaches love, you're hell bent on promoting warfare in the name of Jesus. What is wrong with you? Seriously. I am trying to understand Evangelicals, who believe that a God would have favorites.

A few points

• Abram/Abraham was honored by God for his faith, even though he did not know God's Name. The blessing to Abraham's Jewish descendants is through that covenant.

• "He", not "he".

• God didn't give the modern day Israelis back a land similar to that described in the Old Testament; this occurred by a conspiracy of the world powers in the wake of WWII and an acknowledgment of how NOT having a Jewish state had forced diaspora upon them. (Which also could have been said of Armenians--until more recently--and Kurds, etc.)

@Carazaa

To which prophesy do you refer?

The modern state of Israel was created by the UN.

15 You may say, “The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon,” 16 but this is what the Lord says about the king who sits on David’s throne and all the people who remain in this city, your fellow citizens who did not go with you into exile— 17 yes, this is what the Lord Almighty says: “I will send the sword, famine and plague against them and I will make them like figs that are so bad they cannot be eaten. 18 I will pursue them with the sword, famine and plague and will make them abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth, a curse[c] and an object of horror, of scorn and reproach, among all the nations where I drive them. 19 For they have not listened to my words,” declares the Lord, “words that I sent to them again and again by my servants the prophets. And you exiles have not listened either,” declares the Lord.Jer 29[/quote]

@Carazaa They *were* brought back from the captivity during which Jeremiah was prophet. They were allowed to go back & even rebuild the Temple (creating the Second Temple, cf. Ezra).

That prophecy is not mentioning a Messiah and certainly not the "second coming".
