Why Should Christians Support Israel?

  • 0:00 - 0:03
    god held his hand he did it not just to
  • 0:03 - 0:06
    save Isaac he did it to create a nation
  • 0:06 - 0:10
    that he created 3,500 years ago and put
  • 0:10 - 0:16
    in motion a land for which he chose his
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    people his
  • 0:18 - 0:22
    place and his purpose and we celebrate
  • 0:22 - 0:26
    those of us who are Christian our Jewish
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    friends i sometimes get asked this
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    question because Particularly as a
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    evangelical Christian with many Jewish
  • 0:34 - 0:36
    friends sometimes they get really honest
  • 0:36 - 0:40
    in asking me what is it about you
  • 0:40 - 0:44
    people and I don't mind being called you
  • 0:44 - 0:47
    people but I get this
  • 0:47 - 0:50
    question why are Christians so
  • 0:50 - 0:53
    supportive of Israel in general but the
  • 0:53 - 0:56
    Jewish people in
  • 0:57 - 1:00
    particular and I thought about for many
  • 1:00 - 1:03
    years and I said to one of my friends on
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    a trip here several years ago I said
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    "It's really pretty easy for me to
  • 1:08 - 1:12
    explain it to you you can be
  • 1:12 - 1:15
    Jewish and have nothing whatsoever to do
  • 1:15 - 1:16
    with
  • 1:16 - 1:20
    me i cannot be a Christian and have
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    nothing to do with you because
  • 1:22 - 1:25
    everything I believe base my faith on is
  • 1:25 - 1:28
    built on the foundation of all that God
  • 1:28 - 1:30
    started he created the heavens and the
  • 1:30 - 1:32
    earth and he created the Jewish people
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    and he called them he set them aside he
  • 1:34 - 1:37
    gave them the purpose and all that I
  • 1:37 - 1:40
    believe everything upon which my faith
  • 1:40 - 1:45
    rest solely upon the foundation of you
  • 1:45 - 1:49
    my Jewish friends
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    so I often
  • 1:56 - 1:58
    say as a
  • 1:58 - 2:02
    Christian I owe my Jewish friends a debt
  • 2:02 - 2:04
    it's an
  • 2:04 - 2:06
    obligation if you
  • 2:06 - 2:09
    fall we
  • 2:09 - 2:11
    fall i don't ever want Jewish people
  • 2:11 - 2:13
    ever in the world to say we are all
  • 2:13 - 2:16
    alone no one stands with us because all
  • 2:16 - 2:18
    of us are here today as Christians to
  • 2:18 - 2:22
    say we stand with you with you not
  • 2:22 - 2:25
    behind you that means way behind you we
  • 2:25 - 2:29
    stand with you
