A Warning to All: The Unyielding Promises to God’s Chosen People

In a world filled unprecedented hatred for the Jewish people and the nation of Israel, there stands an unwavering truth: the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is not finished with His chosen people. The book of Jeremiah verses 32:37-43 declare that Israel, despite its present state of unbelief, remains the “apple of His eye” and an integral part of God’s eternal plan.

 

The world, and most of Christendom for that matter, may turn their backs on Israel (or not even recognize Israel and God’s chosen people “replacement theology”), but let this serve as a clear warning: those who oppose God’s covenant people tread on perilous ground. The promise of Genesis 12:3 holds true today—those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will find themselves in the annals of forgotten history.

 

In Psalm 89:24-37, the unbreakable covenant with David echoes through the ages, proclaiming that God’s promises are not contingent on the present circumstances of His people. Even when Israel falters in unbelief, the Almighty remains steadfast in His commitment.

 

To the world chanting slogans of upheaval, like “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” beware: the force (Jesus Christ) that holds the universe in its hands stands guard over His chosen people. No cry for the demise of Israel, no matter how loud, can alter the course set by the Creator of all things. The warning is clear—those who defy the divine order and seek the downfall of God’s chosen people, the Jewish people, risk being crushed by a force mightier than any in the universe.

 

Let Psalm 89:24-37 and Jeremiah 32:37-43 serve as a resolute reminder: God’s promises endure, and the destiny of His chosen people, the Jews, remains under the sovereign protection of the Almighty.

Jeremiah 32:37-43
“Behold, I will gather them out of all countries where I have driven them in My anger, in My fury, and in great wrath; I will bring them back to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely. They shall be My people, and I will be their God; then I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me. Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will assuredly plant them in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul.”

 

Genesis 12:3
“I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you, all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

 

Psalm 89:24-37
“But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him, and in My name, his horn shall be exalted. Also, I will set his hand over the sea, and his right hand over the rivers. He shall cry to Me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.’ Also, I will make him My firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth. My mercy, I will keep for him forever, and My covenant shall stand firm with him. His seed also, I will make to endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.”

What Saith the Scripture?

Most problems in interpreting Bible passages arise from neglecting a passage’s context. The guiding principle of sound interpretation is to take a passage literally. Not maintaining this discipline, interpreting Scripture becomes made up, man’s idea, fantasy, and the passage can mean almost anything. The result is erroneous and ridiculous interpretations.

Another important principle to sound Bible interpretation is to read Scripture “in-time”. In other words, we have to read and study the Bible as a progressive revelation. Not getting ahead of God’s revelation.

God’s plan of redemption for mankind wasn’t revealed all at once to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah, or any of the other old testament prophets. Not even Peter and the eleven were given the full counsel of God. The Lord revealed to each of the aforementioned what they needed at their particular time in Biblical history. A hermeneutical method that does not approach Scripture as a progressive revelation leads to erroneous interpretations.

To be a good bible student one must maintain a literal, grammatical and historical (in-time) hermeneutic. There has been much too much of man’s theology governing Scripture when it is God’s Word alone that reigns over theology.

The Good News

salvation

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. You don’t have to do anything but believe by faith that God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead 3 days later.

THE GOOD NEWS

SALVATION

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. SALVATION IS BY FAITH ALONE & FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS.

  1. God declares all mankind sinners and we all fall short of Glory of God. Romans 3:23
  2. The payment for our sin is death. Romans 6:23
  3. But God…because he loved you so much sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place, for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later. 1 Cor 15:1-42cor 5:21

All God asks is that you believe by faith alone in 1, 2, & 3. That you’re a sinner, separated from God but God sent his Son to die for your sins, was buried & rose again 3 days later.

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:9
