The Everlasting Covenant
Why do the Gentile Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) care so much about the country of Israel?
The answer to this question starts by realizing that is not a new phenomenon but rather one that started more than three hundred years before the modern country of Israel even existed.
There were Christian Zionists, like Sir Isaac Newton, more than 200 years before there were Jewish Zionists. These Christian Zionist organizations, originally called Restorationist organizations, worked to pave the way for Jews to immigrate and create Jewish settlements in their ancient homeland. In fact, the majority of the early colonists in America were Restorationists as well. The Pilgrims, and many other original colonists, taught that the Jews would one day return to their ancient homeland and the nation of Israel would be reborn. They taught that when the nation of Israel was reborn, then it would signal that the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) would be soon returning to resurrect the dead and rule the Earth. So they sought to hasten the day of his return by doing what they could to help the Jews return back to their homeland.
For this reason the earliest Jewish immigrants, who began building houses outside of the walls Jerusalem in the 1860s, did so with the help of Christian Zionists. Christian Zionists also helped transport many of the 25,000 Jews who came in the First Aliyah to the Promised Land in 1882 AD. The Christian Zionists have continually helped the Jewish people return to the Promised Land through all kinds of adversity, including resistance by many Jewish leaders. These Jewish leader mistook these Christian Zionists for members of the False Church of Rome that had persecuted them so many times over the centuries. In many cases, the Jewish people reluctantly accepted the help of these Christian Zionists, because they had no other options. In fact, many Jewish leaders like the current Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netenyahu, openly acknowledge that there would be no modern state of Israel without the help of Christian Zionists over the last four hundred years.
The help from Christian Zionists for Jews returning to Israel did not end there, but continues to this day. The majority of the almost two million Jews who immigrated to Israel from the Former Soviet Union in the 1990s did so by Christian Zionist paying for their expenses. Even within the last year a major Christian television network ran a telethon for several weeks to raise money to buy equipment and the like for the members of Israeli Defense Forces.
So what drives these Gentile Children of Truth to help the Jewish people?
These Gentile Children of Truth were so driven in helping the Jewish people because they understood that their destinies were tied together by the everlasting covenant.
The Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) made an everlasting covenant with Abraham (Abram) that He would give the Promised Land to his descendants as their possession forever (Genesis 17:6-8). The Father of Truth sought to bring the descendants of Israel into possession of the Promised Land to fulfill the everlasting covenant that He made with Abraham, Isaac (Yitzakh) and Jacob (Ya'acob aka Israel) (Deuteronomy 9:4-6). Therefore the Father of Truth made a covenant through Moses (Moshe) with the people of Israel in the wilderness so he could fulfill the everlasting covenant as He had sworn to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Deuteronomy 29:10-13). So the Father of Truth gave the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) so that the people of Israel could prove their love for Him with their obedience and could live in the land promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Deuteronomy 30:19-20).
Since this covenant with Abraham was everlasting the Father of Truth was gracious with the people of Israel to the point of even allowing them to remain in the Promised Land even after they rebelled against Him (2 Kings 13:23). The people of Israel were to never forget that the goodness that the Father of Truth showed them was because of the eternal covenants that He made with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their ancestors in the wilderness through Moses (1 Chronicles 16:13-19). This covenant would be fulfilled if it took a thousand generations to do so because it is an everlasting covenant (Psalm 105:6-12). The Father of Truth had brought the people of Israel through the wilderness and into the Promised Land to fulfill His everlasting covenant with Abraham so they would learned to walk in His ways like Abraham (Psalm 105:42-46). The Father of Truth said that He would never cast the people of Israel completely away and even gather them from the ends of the Earth so that they would return to Him in order to fulfill what He had promised to Abraham concerning his seed (Isaiah 41:8-10). The Father of Truth promised to return the Promised Land to being like the Garden of Eden that He had made desolate in judgment and to multiply the seed of Abraham in it so that they could walk in His ways in the Promised Land to fulfill the everlasting covenant that He made with Abraham (Isaiah 51:2-4).
Therefore the Father of Truth promised that the descendants of Israel would learn to walk in His ways through the Man of Truth so He could fulfill the everlasting covenant that He made with Abraham (Isaiah 29:22-24). The entire reason that the Father of Truth made a way to forgive sins was so He could fulfill the everlasting covenant that He made with Abraham (Micah 7:18-20). Everything the Father of Truth had done for Israel, even to sending the Man of Truth, was because of His everlasting covenant with Abraham (Luke 1:46-55). The Man of Truth was sent to cause the descendants of Israel to live their lives in holiness so the everlasting covenant with Abraham could be fulfilled (Luke 1:68-75). Everything that happened to the Man of Truth, including his death, burial and resurrection, was written about before hand in the writings of the Prophets of Truth, the Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament), so that the descendants of Israel could be turned from sin and the Father of Truth could fulfill His everlasting covenant with Abraham (Acts 3:17-26).
The Father of Truth made the everlasting covenant with Abraham because He knew that Abraham would command his descendants to walk in His ways so that He could bring about all that He had promised (Genesis 18:17-19). Even when the Father of Truth poured out His wrath on the Jews for the majority turning against Him He always left a remnant instead of destroying them completely like Sodom and Gomorrah (Isaiah 1:7-9). For even when the Jews became as bad as the people of Sodom there always remained a few who He could show mercy to because they walked in His ways like Abraham while destroying the rest for their wickedness (Isaiah 3:9-11). The remnant who will walk in His ways like Abraham are going to be brought back to the Promised Land so that the everlasting covenant can be fulfilled (Isaiah 10:20-22). The Father of Truth will gather the remnant of the Jews back to Promised Land from the all the countries of the Earth where He scattered the Jews when the Man of Truth returns to rule over the entire Earth (Jeremiah 23:3-5). They will walk in His Ways in the Promised Land so the Father of Truth can fulfill the everlasting covenant (Jeremiah 23:6-8). So in order to fulfill the everlasting covenant that the Father of Truth made with Abraham there will still remain a remnant of the people of Israel who will walk in His Ways when the Man of Truth rules this Earth (Zephaniah 3:11-15).
Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) affirms that a remnant of the Jews will be saved for walking in the His Ways (Romans 9:27-29). He shows from the Original Covenant that in every generation there has always been a remnant of Jews who walked in the ways of Abraham (Romans 11:1-5). Therefore when the Man of Truth rules the Earth all of the people of Israel who remain will walk in the ways of the Father of Truth so that He can fulfill the everlasting covenant He made with Abraham (Romans 11:26-28).
So all of the promises given to Abraham depend upon the Father of Truth fulfilling what He promised concerning the Jews living in the Promised Land as their possession forever.
However, this everlasting covenant was not just about the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who became a nation called Israel in the wilderness, who later came to be known as the Jews, living in the Promised Land. The promise that the Father of Truth gave to Abraham for leaving his own country, people and family to wander as a foreigner in the Promised Land was to bless all the families of the Earth and not just the Jews (Genesis 12:1-3). Since Abraham obeyed the Father of Truth, even to the point of offering up Isaac, then the Father of Truth swore that Abraham would have a spiritual seed whose numbers were like the stars of Heaven that included people from every nation on Earth as well as a physical seed, the Jews, whose numbers were like the sand of the seashore (Genesis 22:16-18).
The key provision in the everlasting covenant to bring the blessing of Abraham upon all the families of the Earth, which would include the Gentiles, was to give the Promised Land to the physical descendants of Israel, the Jews, forever (Genesis 28:13-15). The Father of Truth promised Jacob that he would make his physical descendents as numerous as the sands of the sea shore if he would return to the Promised Land (Genesis 32:9-12). Indeed He made the physical descendants of Israel, the Jews, as numerous as the sand of the seashore when they possessed just part of the Promised Land (1 Kings 4:19-21). He made the Jews as numerous as the sands on the sea shore to ensure that there would always be a remnant who were walk in the ways of Abraham so He could spare some from judgment to fulfill the everlasting covenant through them (Isaiah 10:21-23). He made them as numerous as the sands of the sea shore so that a remnant would always be saved for walking in His ways so that He could fulfill the everlasting covenant concerning the physical descendants of Abraham (Romans 9:27).
The spiritual seed of Abraham, who are like the stars of Heaven, would come to be made righteous by believing the Word of Truth concerning THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, the Man of Truth, just as Abraham was made righteous by believing the Word of Truth concerning THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, the Man of Truth, who come from his physical descendants (Genesis 15:4-6). The spiritual seed that was to come through the line of Isaac was dependent upon the physical seed that was to come from Isaac possessing the Promised Land and keeping the unchanging law like Abraham (Genesis 26:3-5). The Father of Truth did not wipe out the descendants of Israel in the wilderness for their rebellion against Him, so that He could fulfill the everlasting covenant concerning both the spiritual seed that would come through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and their physical seed possessing the Promised Land forever (Exodus 32:12-14). Every promise in the everlasting covenant concerning the spiritual seed of Abraham is tied to the promises concerning the physical seed of Abraham possessing the Promised Land forever in that same covenant (Hebrews 11:9-12).
The Man of Truth is first and foremost the Messiah of Israel who will bring about ever promise given to Abraham in the everlasting covenant concerning his physical descendants possessing the Promised Land forever. The Man of Truth is also the means for bringing about every promise given to Abraham concerning the Gentiles being blessed as part of the everlasting covenant because it has always been about the Gentiles.
Therefore the Gentile Children of Truth should deeply care about the country of Israel because the Jews possessing the Promised Land is part of the same everlasting covenant that allows Gentiles to come into the House of Truth. The plan of salvation for the Gentiles depends entirely upon the Father of Truth fulfilling the everlasting covenant that He made with Abraham concerning the Jews possessing the Promised Land. In fact, when the Jews surrender completely to the Man of Truth so that the Father of Truth can fulfill the everlasting covenant concerning the Promised Land then it will mean life from the dead for the Gentiles because their fates are tied together in the everlasting covenant (Romans 11:13-16).
So the Gentile Children of Truth are walking in the ways of The Greatest Zionist Ever when they help the Jewish people return to the Promise Land and remain in the Promised Land.
Abraham was not just promised to be the father of a great and mighty nation named Israel but was also to be the means for all of the Gentile nations to be blessed (Genesis 18:18). The Father of Truth can make spiritual children for Abraham from even those who have no more physical relationship with Abraham than a stone (Matthew 3:9). It is only those who have faith in the Man of Truth who will benefit with Abraham when the everlasting covenant is fulfilled (Matthew 8:10-12). It is of no value to be a physical descendant of Abraham unless you also walk in the ways of the Father of Truth like Abraham (Luke 3:8). The true children of Abraham are not those who are his physical descendants but those who live like Abraham (John 8:37-39). The spiritual descendants of Abraham are those who are made righteous by believing the Word of Truth like Abraham (Romans 4:1-3). People of all nations of the Earth, Jews and Gentiles, are saved by believing the Word of Truth like Abraham (Galatians 3:6-8).
Everyone, both Jews and Gentiles, come into the House of Truth by accepting the Man of Truth as king of their lives, because they believe the report of the Word of Truth that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10). Everyone who demonstrates their trust in the Father of Truth by doing the works that He commands, like Abraham did, will come into the House of Truth and be saved in accordance with the everlasting covenant (James 2:20-23).
