A Biblical, Christian approach to Israel and the Jewish people

  The LORD did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples (Deuteronomy 7:7)

===> This is the reason WHY God chose Jews. To make it obvious.

Help for Christians to understand Jews and Israel, chosen people in God's plan of salvation and of the prophetic events

The correct understanding of this is an important eye-opener for us to keep us spiritually vigil and sober, this so as not to let us be deceived by false prophets. In the last days, much of the Christian church will fall away from God and his word and be tempted to believe that the Antichrist is the return of the messiah. Right relationship with Jews and Israel gives us the ability to "see the fig tree" to keep up with what's happening in the world and where on the prophetic time scale we are.

The Jews are God's covenant people

The fact is that the Bible clearly shows that the Jews are still God's people and that the New Covenant belongs to the Jews. We Christians are by grace alone grafted into the true tree which is Israel.

If we bless the Jews, we are under God's blessing. If we curse the Jews, we risk ending up under God's curse, which means to become estranged from God, outside of his protection and guidance.  This means you may get a special blindness. What this blindness can lead to  in the last days, is namely, the embrace of the Antichrist and involvement in his campaign against Israel!
The formation of Israel today is nothing that could be done with a simple flick of the fingers, given all the extremely complicated circumstances. The restoration of Israel today must have been preceded by a series of miraculous events. And Jews have also regained Gods language which also had been lost.

(Ezekiel 39:27-28)

When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and I am hallowed in them in the sight of many nations, 28 then they shall know that I am the LORD their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them captive any longer.

The Jews broke the covenant, but NOT God!

1. "Fig tree" is an image of Israel
2. The New Covenant belongs to the Jews, but Jews have not yet embraced this and is thus not a source of living water to pour out.
3. But God cares for them - like a gardener - and he knows that the bloom will come to.
4. When life begins to return to the fig tree we enter the last days, when everything in Scripture is met. THEN, all Israel shall be saved.

So look at the fig tree, keep your eyes on Israel and the Jewish people's spiritual development!  Then hold yourself more spiritually awake.

- Now, if Israel is the strongest witness against the Antichrist, because of conversion to Jesus in the last days, what will it mean for Israel?  Well, the Antichrist will go up against Israel and take Jerusalem with all the other countries in a final attempt to wipe out the Jews completely. But it is also the last thing he does after his - as I understand it - seven years as both a political and spiritual leader of all countries of the world.

"Fig tree" is an image of Israel and Israel is picture of Born Again believers, "True Church"

As Christian do not be haughty, but fear

(Romans 11:17-20)
And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, 18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” 20 Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear.

Jews will be grafted in again

(Romans 11:23)

And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
