They say, Joe how come you love Israel? How could anyone not! How could you love Jesus but not his people? thats like saying you are a follower of Jesus but not of God! For how could you love God when you hate the very servant to whom you have been saved. Was not Christ a jew? Jesus said salvation is from the Jews, yet you say the Jews killed Jesus? Do you not know that it was not only the sins of the jews that put christ on the cross but your sins and mine, all of our sins have crucified christ. And for love of all Christ died to all for all. For God did what man could not, God brought us salvation by himself for man could not save himself. Christ did what the law could not, for by Grace Christ died to save all, and by the stumbling of the jews all men have been saved, what shall there inclusion mean but life from the dead! When i read my bible, how could i not long to walk where Jesus walked? How could i not long to live in the land which God gave to Abraham the father of our faith, how could i not long to kiss the ground of the only place on this earth which could be called, Holy Land. How could my heart not long to live in the land to which God loves, how could i not long to live in the land to which Christ came and Christ is returning to! How could i not long to pray on mount Zion, the mountain to which Christ will rule and to which the eternal kingdom will be brought down from heaven. And how could i be blind to  the ignorance of my fellow brothers. How could i ignore the fact that the great servant of God Israel, is but a remnant, how could i Ignore the fact that God hardened there hearts so that i might be saved! How could i not desire with all that is in me to first of all repay to the jews what they have given to me. How could  ignore the fact that Gods servant Israel is lost and going to hell, how can i ignore the fact that the holy people of God are being attacked from all sides. Do you not know that if the Jews did not reject Christ you would not have been saved? Do you not know that without the Jews you would have no faith, for all of your Christian prophets are actually Jewish prophets, and your Christian Christ is actually the Jewish Messiah! Your God, he is to be called the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, the patriachs of the Jews. The question is this, how could we Christians, think ourselves so different from the jews? The Jews in the old testament were worshiping the exact same God we worship as Christians. The only difference between us and them is the difference between the old and new covenants, we have been given a new covenant of grace, while they are still trying to live under the covenant of law. But do you not know that there hearts were hardened so that you might receive this covenant? God did not save you so that you could go to heaven and his servant Israel could go to hell, God hardened the hearts of the Jews so that we might be saved that we might once again bring the faith to the Jews that all might partake of the new covenant. I view it as the greatest purpose of our generation to reach Israel with the Gospel of Christ, we have gone to every nation on earth and except the most important one. Christ will not return until we Christians do what we were sent here to do, make disciples of all nations! God has a plan for Israel, do you think that God forsook his people Israel never again to graft them back in? No, but they shall be his witnesses to the world in the time of the Antichrist when he rules over this earth for a time, they shall be the remnant of believers, for those who nailed Jesus to the Cross shall mourn over him as one mourns for an only son! The servant God first used, shall be the servant God uses last, that servant is Israel. I believe it the greatest duty for believers in this generation to reach the hearts of the Jews, for God has said that when they return to there land he will turn there hearts of stone to hearts of flesh. That happened sixty years ago, yet we have failed to see them come to Christ, why? Because us gentile Christians have been ignorant to the importance of Israel, we have come to think we have replaced Israel in the eyes of God. But God made a covenant with Abraham and God made a covenant with his descendants, that Jesus Christ will rule over that land with the remnant of Israel. The reason i care so much about Israel is because God cares so much about Israel, God is jealous for his people, and i am jealous for his people, and you should be jealous for his people, jealous of the fact that our God is the God of Israel, yet Israel themselves are living in blindness.  This is the last mission field, Israel is the last frontier of the spreading of the gospel, those who received first shall receive also last, and as God has said, through them the world will be blessed forever.

Romans 11:25-32 “I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part untill the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies on your account; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for Gods gifts and his call are irrevocable. Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have not received mercy as a result of their disobediance, so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy AS A RESULT OF GODS MERCY TO YOU! For God has bound all men over to disobediance so that he may have mercy on them all.
