Our Lord Jesus, is
a Jew and He is from Israel.
I guess, if our Lord Jesus is Chinese then the people’s interest will be towards China (Chinese culture and language). I agree in a video documentary that I have just seen, that Israel is a
living prophecy. Let me just share with you the bible prophecies that has come
true with regards to the people and the nation of Israel.
The first prophecy
about Israel
was written in Genesis 17:7 (NLT), It is
an eternal covenant. When GOD said to Abraham, "I will confirm
my covenant with you and your descendants after you, from generation to
generation. This is the everlasting covenant.” Remember, how doubtful Abraham
was when GOD said that He will have numerous descendants as many as the stars
in heaven. GOD never breaks a promise or a covenant. What is written is
written. It is written in the bible, He is not like us who often breaks a promise, or is fickle-minded and never gets to decide what should really be done. GOD is faithful to His chosen nation, even if the people of Israel, like me oftentimes disobeyed Him. GOD's love can be seen in the book of Hosea.
Did
you know that the Jewish people are the only ancient people alive today? The
Canaanites, Assyrians, Jebusites and the Babylonians all of them are gone. The
Jewish people are the “eternal people”, and they stand alive today.
It is
also mentioned in the Bible that if the Jewish people don’t live in a ‘godly
life’, they will be scattered in the four corners of the earth. What is so
amazing is that even if the Jewish people were scattered to all the ‘four
corners’ of the world they have remained until today. Another prophecy that has
came true! Deuteronomy 4:27 (NLT), “For the LORD GOD will scatter you among the
nations, where only a few of you will survive.”
In comparing the
population of the Jewish people which is million to the billion people to China, they are
a statistical error as mentioned in the documentary. That’s how small they are.
The fact that they are small, and the fact that a lot of atrocities (anti-semitism, crusades,
inquisition, religion after religion, muslim oppression) have been committed to
the Jewish people worldwide. No one has suffered like they have suffered and no
one has been persecuted as they were persecuted and yet they still remained.
Come to think of it,
the Jewish people are hated for being rich and having a lot of money. If they are wealthy they are accused
of being a money grabber. When they are poor and destitute, they are labeled as
parricides. Another bible prophecy that has came true is mentioned in Leviticus 26:33 (NLT) “I will scatter you among the
nations and bring out my sword against you. Your land will become desolate, and
your cities will lie in ruins.”
Another
important prophecy regarding the Jewish people is that they will be a “light to
the nations.” How can that be? Have you seen the list of the Noble prize
winners? Great inventors, achievers in chemistry, physics in all the branches
of science, people who have imparted a lot to the improvement of a nation and,
for the good of the society, the list goes to show that it is the Jewish
people.
They
are indeed a light to the nation today. I have seen in a local Christian
program in my country, The 700 Club Asia, it featured the water treatment invented by the
Jewish people. Seawater can be made into a drinking water! Now, how clever is
that? They really contribute a lot to science.
The
Jewish people are a lifeblood to any country. As Mr. Jon Voight said, “And you
can really see a direct correlation between countries that have Jews in them,
and how they treat the Jews and how those countries do, in terms of political
development, their scientific development, their technological development.”
In
the 1800’s the land
of Israel was desolate
even Mark Twain visited it in the 1850’s and he’s really saddened how the land
was parched, dry and nothing really grew there.
When
they have not returned yet to their country, Israel, the land was a desolation.
We were told that if the Jews were returned to their land, the land will
flourish again. As mentioned in Ezekiel 36:8, “But the
mountains of Israel
will produce heavy crops of fruit for my people—for they will be coming home
again soon!” Just as the people has been revived, the land was also revived! The
land was changed! The land respond to the people of Israel! Truly the land knows its
true owner!
The ‘ingathering
of the exiles’, another prophecy that has come true before our very eyes! The
Jewish people have now a country to call their own again. After years of exile
they are back to GOD’s promised land for them. In Ezekiel 20:34 it says, "I will bring you from the
nations and gather you from the countries where you have been scattered -- with
a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with outpoured wrath."
I am really proud to say that I
am a Filipina, and that our country is the only country that has opened its
doors to the Jewish people in the heights of the German Nazi’s occupation
during World War II. Our late and former President Manuel L. Quezon opened
the Philippines’
doors to up to 10,000 Jewish refugees. Now, you can see a beautiful monument designed by a Filipino in
Rishon Lezion in Israel as a
remembrance of the Philippines
helping hand to Israel.
I would also like to
mention another important event done by my fellow countrymen for Israel, citing in an article online, “The
Philippines was among the 33 countries who supported the creation of Israel and the only Asian country to who
voted for the resolution."
My fellow Filipina, an entrepreneur and evangelical Christian, Grace Galindez-Gupana, made the Israel's largest flag. I am
glad that my countrymen has supported and helped the Israelites from then,
until now. And even if I can only support the Jewish nation and people by being
active online, I am doing this wholeheartedly as a sign of my support to Israel. I hope
to visit the land of our YHVH, someday. I thank the Jewish people because we Filipinos don’t need a visa if
we wanted to visit Israel.
Toda! תודה
The
entire world today has now returned to the land of Israel.
Did you know that Israel is
the only moral and democratic country in the middle-east, as we all know Israel is
surrounded by Muslim and Arab nations. To the readers of my blog, I appeal do
not believe the propaganda of Israel
haters online. Israel
is not a “killer”, it is a very small country surrounded by Muslim and Arab
countries. Of course, Israel
needs to protect itself. Imagine being bullied by these large Arab - Muslim
countries. We also need to pray for peace, for Israel everyday. I am anxious that
just because almost all the countries in the world are against Israel, that one
day just because we are as a small country and also we’re no match against
these other countries who are against Israel. That we will not join them and be
against Israel.
Do not forget that it is written in Genesis 12:3, GOD says to Abraham, “And I will
bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will
curse.”
Then
there will be a pure language, as mentioned in A Zephaniah 3:9, “Then I will purify the speech of all people, so that everyone can
worship the LORD together.”
As
mentioned in the documentary. “Never before in world history has a dead
language been revived and brought back to life before the return of the Jewish
people to the land
of Israel and the revival
of the Hebrew language.”
In closing, as mentioned in the documentary, "We were given these visions and prophecies long ago. It is your opportunity to join the global revolution in world history. Israel: Living Prophecy.
