The Abrahamic Covenant promises a specific land for Abraham and his descendants. The Mosaic Covenant outlines conditions for Israel's possession of the land. The New Covenant ensures restoration and forgiveness. Biblical prophecies and Jesus' words confirm that Israel's rejection of Him is temporary. God's promises to Israel will be fulfilled, and they will permanently inhabit the promised land.

When discussing ″support″ in the context of standing with Israel, it’s vital to clarify that we are not advocating for a blanket endorsement of every action or policy. The Old Testament is replete with instances where God and the Hebrew prophets called out Israel for their sins. Supporting Israel does not imply agreement with every political move or condoning all behaviors, as even Israelis themselves are often divided on these matters. Instead, what we mean by support is affirming their belief that the land of Israel has been promised to them by God.

While arguing that both Jews and Gentiles are under the power of sin and cannot be justified through their own efforts, Paul raises a rhetorical question about the advantages of being Jewish. He eagerly answers by stating that there are many advantages, one being that the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God.

Similarly, Jesus acknowledges to the Samaritan woman that while the Samaritans worship what they do not know, salvation comes from the Jews. Despite the failure and hostility of the Jewish leaders, Jesus affirms that God's plan of salvation unfolds through the Jews. This plan reaches its culmination in the promised and present Messiah who came to save the world. Jesus goes out of His way to save the ostracized woman and her Samaritan community.

In the Middle East, Israel stands out for its democratic values which include significant freedoms and a wide range of political and religious expressions. These values are not commonly seen in many neighboring countries. Israel upholds principles like democracy, the rule of law, and freedoms related to religion, speech, and human rights, aligning it with countries like the United States. Additionally, its democratic system benefits everyone. Israel creates a safe and supportive environment not only for its Jewish majority but also extends opportunities and rights to Palestinians and other minority groups. These minority groups actively participate in various professional sectors and government structures, making Israel a government that genuinely serves its diverse population.

When discussing support for Israel, it is important to clarify that our support is based on their rightful ownership of the land and does not mean devaluing or mistreating people of other ethnicities or religions. We should love all people, including Palestinians, Arabs, Israelis, and Jews, as they are created in God's image. Our role as the church is to love everyone impartially and sacrificially, being a beacon of God's love in a broken world. While God has promised the land to Israel, His salvation extends to all. The key way to support Israel is by helping them discover their Messiah, as true restoration and fulfillment of God's promises are found in Him.

In the context of end-times prophecy, Israel is significant because it is mentioned in Ezekiel 38 as a nation that will face opposition from several other nations in a future battle. Mentioned in Ezekiel 38:1-6 are: Gog (interpreted as an individual leader), Magog (likely associated with nations in Central Asia), Rosh (seen by many as part of Russia or Russia and its neighboring countries), Meshek and Tubal (located in modern-day Turkey), Persia (modern Iran), Cush (not modern Ethiopia but the land south of Egypt, which is now Sudan), Put (known as Libya today), Gomer (part of modern Turkey), and Beth Togarmah (also part of modern Turkey). These nations are geographically surrounding Israel and are often seen as having strong anti-Israel sentiments. While the timing of the events in Ezekiel 38 is uncertain, it is believed that God will eventually bring these nations against Israel, and they will be defeated by the Lord.
