Although Israel is presently living out of fellowship with God, His plan is to gather her back to her land (Amos 9:13-15, which He has been doing for over 100 years), judge her for her sins in the Great Tribulation (Jer. 30:7, Mat. 24:9-51, Rev. 6-16), grant her a new birth as a nation (Isa. 66:7-8, Rom. 11:25-28), renew their marriage vows (Isa. 54:1-8), and then enjoy a 1,000 year “honeymoon” (Isa. 11:1-12, Mat. 19:28, Rev. 20:1-7). Beware of anyone who teaches that modern Israel is an enemy of God and is not covered by the blessing of Genesis 12:1-3. The Genesis 12 blessing to Abraham was passed on to his descendants (Gen. 25:5-6; 27:27-29; Num. 22:12; Zch. 2:8), so it still applies today. As Christians, we must stand with Paul: "As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes." (Rom 11:28)
