Why Stand With Israel?
Israel is a land about which God says uniquely, prophetically, redemptively, and repeatedly in the Bible This is Mine. God refers to Israel as He does to no other land on Earth. Israel was raised up to be a light to the Gentiles.
The Church at its inception was virtually entirely Jewish, and it remained so until the Gospel began to spread. Ultimately the Gospel spread to Antioch, where the first Gentile congregation began, the base from which the Gospel spread into all the world.
In the book of Romans, chapters 9 through 11, the Apostle Paul deals with the question of the Jews in God’s providence and purpose. Within the whole of the Bible, these three chapters virtually stand alone as an elaboration of the theology of God’s dealing with Jews. The Jews were the “firstfruit”… the “first people” (through Abraham) to understand a covenant God. They then relayed the riches of that truth to the world, and through their agency, the Messiah came into the world. The Word of God calls Jews the “root” and Gentiles the “branches.” We’re reminded that while “because of unbelief, some of them were broken off and you stand by faith,” we are not to become haughty but to fear: “For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.” When the fullness of the Gentiles is completed, “all Israel will be saved.” (Romans 11:16-27)
Why Stand With Israel Today? We are living in a sobering moment in history that calls us, as believers in Jesus Christ, to take a stand with Israel. We could be people of the last hour. We are not to be passive in the face of prophecy; we are called to pray with passion, to intercede, and to minister according to the words of the Savior who said it is not our task to speculate when the end will be. It is our responsibility to do Kingdom business until He comes (Luke 19:13). This is not about politics; this is about the Word of God…but the political ramifications are extremely dramatic. Scripture declares there will come a time when all the nations of the world will turn against Israel. It is so highly conceivable this could happen in our time that it is critical to outline why we should stand with Israel today.
What We Believe
Stand with Israel Is an American-based organization founded to promote the modern State of Israel with the biblical mandates for Israel. We endeavor to be a resource for the Western Church in understanding why Israel matters biblically and where we fit in this unfolding story.
We do this by making ourselves available to provide information to help each individual come to the same conclusion to Stand With Israel.
Our belief is that there has been too much wrong information inserted into the perspective of the individual Western institution of Christianity and we seek to assist in navigating the way back out of these false beliefs.
We further believe that every believer in the Moshiach also known as Jesus the Christ should be keenly aware that salvation is for a purpose and that this purpose heavily involves prophecy of the Bible and we seek to connect people to a fundamental aspect of the Christian walk that simply can not leave out Israel as a nation.
We believe as scriptures say that Jerusalem is on center stage till the end of the Earth.
