Harm Israel And Pay

Do not harm Israel, the Chosen of the Bible,
Lest Jehovah on you revenge assail;
For mistreating them, nations are liable,
Repaid tooth for tooth, and nail for ev'ry nail!
Ask Egypt, her first sons taken at night;
Her bravest all drowned in the closing sea;
They killed Jewish babes to lessen her might,
But God avenged it to the last degree!
Ask Hitler, whose ovens wrought genocide,
That maniac of Europe to appease;
Germany levelled, broken and decried;
To all who on Israel hatred release!
Satan picked her to be his killing squad,
Slaying the Jew, when he could not slay God!

God chose Jacob's descendants to be His special people. He changed Jacob's name to Israel. and the people he sired became known as Jews. Many nations have purposed to exterminate all the Jews, but every attempt has failed. In fact, they are the only race of people on earth that has survived intact, with traceable genealogies all the way back to Jacob. This fact is one of the strongest arguments for the truth of the Bible as the word of God! It can be said that the Bible is actually the history of Israel.

Jacob was the grandson of Abraham and the son of Isaac. God made three promises to Abraham in Genesis 12:3:

"I will bless those who bless you, and whosoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."

The United States has supported Israel militarily since 1948, and we have been blessed. We have become the leading nation of the world; also, even though we have sinned greatly as a nation by legalizing abortion and allowing same-sex marriages and unions, God has not yet punished us for that. He will, though. The second promise, to curse those that curse Israel has come true many times: Assyria, Babylon, Roman Empire, the Arab nations, Germany, England---all have cruelly tried to exterminate or damage the Jewish people, and all have paid dearly in blood and defeat. Pray that President Obama will continue support for Israel, for our own sakes, that God will hold off His just punishment for America's detestable sins.
