Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure.’
(Isa. 46:9-10)
The Word tells us that one day with God is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a day. (2 Peter 3:8) Eternity is immeasurable. Time cannot be measured in the midst of eternity because in eternity, time does not exist. In the midst of eternity God carved out seven days and He called these seven days time. Each of the days consists of one thousand years. At the end of the fourth day (4000 years) God gave Jesus to the earth. In the two thousand years since then (two days), we have the church age, or the age of grace. The seventh day is the day (1000 years) Jesus will rule and reign on this earth. We call this the Millennial reign of Christ. From eternity to eternity and all the time in between, we find one thing that is consistent. God never changes.
In order to find the will of God on the earth today, all that needs to be done is to look to the ancient times of the past. God’s plan of the ages has not changed.
While it is true that we as Christians live under a new covenant that was instituted by our Lord Jesus, it is also true that when God gives His word, He keeps it. God’s promises to His chosen people are still valid and true and any one who opposes God’s will is in a dangerous place.
As the world looks on and observes the church, many are confused when they see Christians opposing the Jews when the Lord and Savior of the Christians Himself was born on this earth as a Jew.
The world is full of anti-Semitism, but there should never be, under any circumstances, even the slightest hint of opposition to God’s chosen people coming from the church. No logic from the mind of man can justify the opposition to God’s plan concerning the Jews. God didn’t give the land of Israel to the United States of America. God didn’t promise it to the Syrians, or the Egyptians. God has already given it to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
As a Christian, there should be no confusion on where you stand on the issue of the land of Israel.And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; your name shall not be called Jacob anymore, but Israel shall be your name.” So He called his name Israel. Also God said to him: “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body. The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you; and to your descendants after you I give this land.”
(Gen. 35:10-12)Do not remove the ancient landmark which your fathers have set.
(Prov. 22:28)Do not remove the ancient landmark, nor enter the fields of the fatherless; for their Redeemer is mighty; He will plead their cause against you.
(Prov. 23:10-11)
