3 Main Reasons:
- Christ and Christendom
- Gratitude
- Preservation
Christ and Christendom
Israel is a proxy war against the Church. Satan seeks Israel’s destruction to get back at Christ and prevent His final victory.
If Christendom is to succeed, Satan’s proxy war must be resisted.
And when the dragon [Satan] saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman [Israel] who gave birth to the male Child…. So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her seed
‘For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, ‘BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!”
Gratitude
We owe our salvation to God’s work through the Jews
Yes, they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to minister to them also in material things.
for salvation is from the Jews.
Preservation
God reserves particular time on Judgment Day to your treatment of Israel.
And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who dishonors you I will curse.
I will gather all the nations And bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there On behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; And they have divided up My land.
