WE ARE FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE

While we still have time, before Messiah Jesus returns for those who believe in Him, we would like to assure the Jewish people that we, of the Rock of Israel Ministries are for you. We will stand by you!

According to God's declaration in His Word, we know that the enemies of the Jews are God's enemies, and God has said that anyone who will be against them, HE will be against!

We realize that God spoke through men of old concerning a time yet to come, where the Jewish people will be persecuted as never before. Of course we know that all down through the years they have been mistreated. But the time is coming when it will be the final Holocaust for them. In God's Word it is called "The Time of Jacob's Trouble" or "The Great Tribulation." It will be a period in Israel's history when God will deal with them concerning their Messiah, and through this testing they will acknowledge their offense against Yeshua (Jesus).

They will call upon the Name of the Lord and be forgiven; they will be cleansed. It will be their great Day of Atonement, and the New Covenant will be fulfilled in them. They will know the Lord; They will again be God's people and He will be their God. Then the Jewish people will enter a thousand years of peace during the Millennium and, as He promised, God will dwell with them after they are cleansed, and they will dwell with Him.

But now, while my Jewish people are being persecuted, and that time is still yet to come, when they will suffer as never before, we want to declare to them that we, of the Rock of Israel Ministries, will never be a part of that which is contrary to God's Spirit and His Word. We are believers in Messiah Jesus who taught His disciples, and teaches us, to love everybody.

Those who engage in hatred of the Jew (or hatred of anyone) do not have the right to claim the name of "Christian" (which means "Follower of Christ" or Follower of Messiah"), for their acts are clearly the acts of "anti-God" persons.

Believers, or followers of Messiah Jesus, can never forget that their Lord and Master, while He taught and ministered on this earth, had the face of a Jew, the appearance of a Jew, and the dress and language of a Jew. If for no other reason than this: that all Jews are the "Lord's Brethren, TRUE Christians everywhere must work to put down and destroy all forms of hatred toward the Jewish people!

These are not the only reasons which make it anti-God to persecute the Jew. The wondrous Bible, composed of two parts, the Old and New Testaments, was committed to the Jewish people who gave it to all mankind. We, who are believers and followers of Messiah Yeshua, must always give thanks to God for blessing us, and especially for those who gave the world the faith in the one true God, out of whom came our blessed Lord and Saviour, Yeshua ha Meshiach.

In the Old Testament God told the Jewish people to be circumcised in their heart so that they could fulfill the first commandment to love the Lord with their entire being. We, of the Rock of Israel Ministries, who are members of the holy congregation of God, composed of Jewish and Gentile believers in Messiah Jesus, have been circumcised in our hearts, and so race prejudice is entirely foreign to us! We cannot hate whom God loves. We cannot take part in any thought or act which would harm the Jewish people.

Surely this hatred is growing all over the world. It is a forerunner of the final Holocaust as was prophesied in God's Word. We know that God's displeasure is upon those who enter into acts of hatred toward Israel. He promised Abraham and his natural descendants through Isaac, that His blessings would rest upon all who bless Israel, and He would curse those who cursed Israel.

This has been fulfilled throughout history. Those nations that have cursed the Jew have received the curse of God upon them, and they have fallen. Those individuals who have mistreated the Jew have been visited by God's displeasure as well.

An important prophecy concerning the Jews in the last days prohibits the follower of Messiah from Jew-hatred. It is this: The one great plan of God in evangelizing the world is bound together with the Jewish people! A great revival is coming, because, as God teaches through the Apostle Paul, the Jews will turn to God again. So why would any true believer in Messiah Jesus seek to prevent this great revival and restoration? Yet that would be the outcome if one chose to take part in persecuting the people whom God said would be the means through which this great revival will come!

"I say then, have they (the Jews) stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather THROUGH THEIR FALL salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles: How much more their fullness? ... for if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but LIFE FROM THE DEAD?"(Romans 11:11,12 15)

If the Jewish people were done away with, as those anti-God persons want to do, then this entire world would die. There would be no revival of faith in God among the Gentiles, and there would be no LIFE FROM THE DEAD!

Is it any wonder then, that this Nation, which God will so mightily use, is the special object of Satan's hate? But thank God, Israel is also the object of God's love, which will overcome the enemy and cause Israel to triumph in the end! Israel will come back to God in such a way that they will no longer be persecuted, but will become very popular. It is written in the book of Zechariah:

"...in those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, we will go with you: for we have heard that GOD IS WITH YOU." (Zechariah 8:23)

My Dear Jewish Reader we want you to know that we are continually offering up prayers to God on your behalf. We realize that in so doing we are obeying the commandment of our God, and also speeding the return of Yeshua ha Meshiach, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

In these last days we want you to realize that Messiah is about to come back, as He told us He would. The greatest sign preceding His return, is that Jews are returning to their own land which God promised to them. Around the world, Jewish people are accepting Messiah Jesus in great numbers, but the persecution of the Jews is also occurring. We are seeing all the prophecies of Messiah's return coming to pass in our day. During the persecution of the Jews today, God is on their side. All true believers in Yeshua ha Meshiach, whether Jew or Gentile, are on the side of the Jew.

It is our desire that you, dear Fellow-Jew, would look to Him and believe Him Who has promised to deliver you from your enemies and from your sin! Won't you do that today?
