ISRAEL IN THE SPOTLIGHT



HELP DEFEND TRUTH & HELP DEFEND GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE

Why is the world so divided about Israel? Why are so many Christians reticent to engage on the subject? Why don’t more Churches & Pastors support Israel? Why is there so much in the media that seems to support Israels enemies? What are we to make of the antisemitic and often violent scenes unfolding in cities around the world over a tiny stretch of land in the middle of the world? You, your friends, family and colleagues may be asking these or other questions about the situation in Israel right now.


We have asked key questions and provided a succinct response in Israels defence. There are extra resources (at the bottom of the page) from our online store that cover the subjects in greater depth. You can also support Israel through the Israel Relief Fund.

1. WHY SHOULD WE STAND WITH ISRAEL?

Because God Takes Israel Personally.


For thus said the LORD of hosts, after his glory sent me to the nations who plundered you, for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye: “Behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall become plunder for those who served them. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me. Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for behold, I come and I will dwell in your midst, declares the LORD. And many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people. And I will dwell in your midst, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. And the LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.” Zechariah 2:8-12

  • Israel is the Apple of God’s Eye – whatever happens to Israel touches Him personally.

  • God promises to dwell within Israel and be their God.

  • God will inherit the land of Israel as His Own Possession.

  • God will choose Jerusalem to be the City of His dwelling.
