God says... "If My people, who are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14

Holy God has chosen the nation of Israel to be His people - His people - who would show the world the way to peace with Him. He gave them the land and promised He would be their God and they would be His people. They were to be obedient to Him, to follow Him and worship Him only. They have done well at times and at other times they have failed. Because He loves them so much, He has seen their failures and promised to forgive their sins by sending a Messiah to turn their hearts back to Him (to repent) in order to justify them and restore a right relationship with Him. God chose Israel to be that people through whom He would send the Messiah, the Deliverer, the Savior. He did that when He sent Jesus His only begotten Son into the world to die for the sins of everyone who would ever live so that everyone could have a right relationship with Him... for we have all sinned and need a Savior.

Sadly, Many Jews rejected God's Messiah and as in the past He has left them to go their own way.

On October 7, 2023, we saw God's chosen nation attacked by Hamas terrorists. Hundreds of Israelis were attacked and killed. We have watched with horror the deadly atrocities Hamas has perpetuated on the people of Israel as babies, toddlers, preschoolers, young mothers, old people have been murdered and taken as hostages. Heartbreaking! Horrible! Yes, Satan and Evil and Hatred are still alive in our world today. Hamas has taken over the Gaza Strip and is threatening the peace and security of the region. I believe the citizens who live there just want to live peaceable lives.

Pray for God's peace to come over everyone and for God's will to be done. The land of Israel is holy land, because it is where Jesus was born and walked and taught and died and rose from the grave - where he brought peace between God and all mankind. If only people would but seek Him with all their hearts...

It is also the place where Jesus Christ will return one day. On that day, evil and Satan will be defeated forever. Pray that the true chosen people of Israel will return to their trust in Almighty God and acknowledge that the Jesus whom they rejected and crucified is indeed the Promised Messiah, the only begotten Son of God, and that their hearts will be turned back to God. He is their only Hope for salvation and reconciliation with God. Also pray that their enemies will also find that Jesus is the Son of God, the true Messiah, and that they too will repent, and turn from their wicked ways.
