Pray for the Hostages!
The Bible is very clear on the Christian’s role in praying for the peace of Jerusalem and our eternal support for the Jewish people. However, due to the unprecedented times we live in and the historical events that are proceeding right before our eyes, we thought it would be important for us to remember that we need to be praying for not only the hostages, but their families and post-rescue. These brave souls have been in a hell for two years, the perpetrators being the vile Hamas terrorists who will one day have justice bestowed on them by God through His own power or through His own design and human hands. We as believers need to be praying that these hostages find their true Messiah and come back to Jesus Christ. Pray for the Israeli people and seek ways to share the gospel with not only the Israeli’s, but also those in the Gaza Strip. Now is not the time for Christians to be silent, but dutifully praying for them and sharing the gospel when possible.
As for other believers who are in Replacement Theology and flirting or outright propagating antisemitism in the Church, they must be confronted and lovingly shown the Biblical truth. If they refuse to listen, treat them as an outsider. If they are Church leadership, move away and do not tithe to such a Church.
This might sound harsh, but God is clear on this subject, and we cannot afford to be on the sidelines. We need to be about His work as good servants of our loving Heavenly Father. Come follow us on our Genesis study to understand the granular details on why Israel is such an important part of our Christian faith and Christian dedication to Christ.
Hold until relieved, our Blessed Hope is coming,
