We are debtors to the Jewish people. Every promise in your Bible came through Jewish hands. Every patriarch, every prophet, every psalmist was a Jewish man or woman carried along by the Holy Spirit to give us the Word of God. The Law came through Moses. The Psalms through David. The prophecies of Isaiah and Daniel through Jewish men who paid dearly for speaking them. And then came the New Testament, written almost entirely by Jewish authors, recording the life and death and resurrection of the Jewish Messiah. Jesus was Jewish. Born to a Jewish mother, circumcised on the eighth day, raised in the synagogue, who read from the Hebrew scrolls and celebrated Passover and died outside Jerusalem. We are, as Paul says in Romans 11, wild branches grafted into a root we did not plant. We drink from a well we did not dig. Gratitude alone demands that we stand with Israel.

Four thousand years ago, God made the most consequential promise in human history to a childless wanderer named Abram: I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse (Genises 12:3). This was not a temporary arrangement. God confirmed it to Isaac, to Jacob, to generation after generation. He called it an everlasting covenant. And He meant those words. The Jewish people have faced Pharaoh, Haman, Nebuchadnezzar, and Hitler. Every one of them tried to destroy what God promised to preserve. Every single one of them failed. The empires are rubble. The Jewish people are still here. Not because they are stronger than their enemies. Because God keeps His covenants.

The Holocaust is the darkest expression of human hatred in recorded history. Six million Jewish men, women, and children systematically murdered. In 1948, just three years after the liberation of the death camps, the State of Israel was born. A people targeted for extinction stood on the soil of their ancient homeland and declared a nation. That is not geopolitics. That is biblical prophecy. It is God’s answer, not an explanation of the Holocaust, but a declaration: I am still here. My covenant stands. My people are still Mine. The rebirth of Israel is the super sign of our prophetic times, and the gathering hostility toward her that Zechariah described thousands of years ago is materializing before our eyes.

One of the tests of any generation is whether it will stand with Israel or turn away. One of the reasons God has blessed this nation is that she has historically stood with the people of His covenant. To abandon that commitment is not merely a geopolitical miscalculation. It is a covenant violation. Never again must mean something for the Christian, rooted in Scripture, sustained by prayer, and expressed in action. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Stand with the people God has not abandoned. And share with every Jewish person you know the Messiah who is their Messiah.
