JERUSALEM

“…and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,
‘The Deliverer will come from Zion,
He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.’” – Romans 11:26

So why is a large part of Israel not Christian at the posting of this brief article?

The answer is written in the verse that precedes the verse above. Romans 11:25 states:

“For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in”

Darrell Mansfield tells the Jews that “Your King is this Man from Galilee” in this song.

I enjoyed Darrell’s walk through the streets of Jerusalem in this 30 year old music video.

Darrell Mansfield was once a young man in search of meaning in life. His search ended at the foot of the cross of Jesus Christ after some difficult times in his youth. This early music video was Filmed on location in Jerusalem, September 1986.

I agree with Dr. J. Vernon McGee that these verses are talking about literal Jews (Israelites). I also agree on his commentary involving these verses:

Romans 11 ‘Thru the Bible’ with Dr. J. Vernon McGee
(Click on #8 if you wish to hear Dr. McGee’s commentary on Romans 11:26…It wouldn’t take long to listen to the commentary on the rest of the chapter, too!)

I am watching the tiny little country of Israel become more isolated from the rest of the world. Many former friends have and are leaving them. I will always be a friend to the nation of Israel because of an everlasting covenant that God make with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I believe that the Bible teaches that God will eventually intervene on their behalf. How He does that remains to be seen. One thing I am not concerned about is the destruction of the Israelites. It will not happen.

Darrell Mansfield’s first appearance on an album with the group Gentile Faith. “Jerusalem” is my favorite song on this album.


JERUSALEM

June 12, 2013

“We must not forget to nurse our children and grandchildren on hatred towards those Zionists and Jews, and all those who support them.  They must be nursed on hatred.  The hatred must continue.”

– Mohammed Morsi, President of Egypt

“Syria has given the green light to set up missile batteries to directly attack Israeli targets.”

-Anwar Raja of the Popular Front for the Liberation of the Palestine-General Command

“The greatest danger to peace in the world is the present Iranian regime.”

-Shimon Peres, President of Israel

“The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps so that secure and recognized borders are established for both sides.”

-Barack Obama

So, what does the song have to do with these quotes?  Nothing, really.  The song is about God’s chosen people and how many of them are blinded to the fact that Jesus Christ was and is the true Messiah.  Many Jews are still waiting for their savior.  He has already come.  He has already done what is necessary for the salvation of mankind.  Many Jews, like the late great Zola Levitt, have seen the truth.

I hope you pray for the peace of Jerusalem.  The people of Israel are surrounded.  They have enemies on all sides.  They have enemies at the U.N., in the U.S. Congress, and inside the Obama Administration.

Mr. Obama allowed the U.S. government to send the current Egyptian government F-16 fighter jets that are only seven minutes away from Jerusalem.

Most of the above information was obtained from the American Center for Law and Justice.

Look at the 1st and 4th quotes.  The first quote makes the fourth quote impossible.  There will never be a co-existing Palestine and Israel. Every time Israel has given up land, the land has been used to launch rockets.  Why would the next time be any different?

God’s covenants will not be broken.  The promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob regarding the land of Israel are everlasting.
