About Those Blessings

Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
(Genesis 12:1-3 KJV emphasis mine)
Ask the average American evangelical and they will tell you this means that if you bless “Israel”, God will bless you because obviously what God was talking about 12 chapters into the Bible was the modern secular nation-state called Israel. If you point out the myriad problems with their interpretation of this passage that requires slavish devotion to modern day Israel, well you are obviously an anti-Semite and probably like Islamic terrorism. So if Israel is dropping bombs on Palestine and little Palestinian kids die, that is just tough shit for them because God says if we want to be blessed we have to agree with everything Israel does. No matter what. Besides who cares about a bunch of little brown kids when compared to protecting Our Greatest Ally™? 
What is interesting about this idea is that the U.S. has been blessing the hell out of Israel to the tune of billions of dollars every year and yet we don’t ever seem to get any blessings. Instead by most any measure things are far worse. Check this out from Ramzpaul…

He kind of rambles a bit but the point is valid.
Israel is not our ally. Israel is not our friend. Many of the most powerful and influential Jews in the world are actively working to undermine Western civilization and supplant White Europeans for the preeminent position in the world’s power structure. While I no longer have a dog in the fight, Christian Zionism is both an oxymoron and a heresy. In the big picture, globalist Jews are a greater threat to White people than Islam, blacks or mestizos.
Call it anti-Semitism or whatever else you want but name calling doesn’t make it less true. Everything we touch in the Middle East turns to shit because we are always working for one nation at the expense of everyone else.

    Yeah…I got tired of arguing with all those that were "educated" by J. Dwight Pentecost's "Things to Come." Read it myself when I was in my zealous days but never could get it to square with plain reading of scripture. You needed a ThD to contort the bible in such a manner to explain all those deep "mysteries" of God. Defund the Israelis is a slogan I could get behind. Too bad our ole buddy Falwell ain't alive to tell the "moral majority" what to do anymore.

    Yes.

    It's a pity that these "Christian Zionists" are unable to understand, among other things, Matthew 12: 22-37. Jesus casts a demon out of a man who can't speak, which means that he can't say the name of the occupying demon. To cast out such a one requires divine power. When Jesus does this, it's a clear Messianic miracle. The Pharisees, representing official Judaism, say that He "cast out Beelzubul by the power of Beelzebul." In other words, they attribute the works of God to Satan — the ultimate blasphemy. Jesus tells them, "Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come."

    In other words, that's IT for organized Judaism. It's condemned. It's finished. Along with any modern "nation of Israel" associated with it.

    Individual Jews can still be saved — by ceasing to be Jews and becoming Christians. Not otherwise. Believers in Jesus are the heirs of the Abrahamic promise, with its associated blessing/cursing deal.

    That is the big missing piece, the only way according to the Bible for a Jew to become right with God and in the New Covenant was to abandon Judaism. Try telling someone that and you get called all sorts of names.
