King James Version
7 The Lord did not set his love upon you,
nor choose you,
because ye were more in number than any people;
for ye were the fewest of all people:
No nation is perfect.
Only GOD can declare us perfect.
These verses tell us the reality of our nations:
Romans 3:9-10
King James Version
9 What then?
are we better than they?
No, in no wise:
for we have before proved
both Jews and Gentiles,
that they are all under sin;
10 As it is written,
There is none righteous,
no, not one:
Still, GOD chose Israel as His holy nation.
For His own perfect purpose.
1 Peter 2:9
King James Version
9 But ye are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood,
an holy nation,
a peculiar people;
that ye should shew forth the praises
of him who hath called you out of darkness
into his marvellous light;
The Bible also tells us something else.
Repeating it THRICE:
Deuteronomy 7:6
King James Version
6 For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God:
the Lord thy God hath chosen thee
to be a special people unto himself,
above all people
that are upon the face of the earth.
Deuteronomy 14:2
King James Version
2 For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God,
and the Lord hath chosen thee
to be a peculiar people unto himself,
above all the nations
that are upon the earth.
Deuteronomy 26:19
King James Version
19 And to make thee high
above all nations which he hath made,
in praise, and in name, and in honour;
and that thou mayest be an holy people
unto the Lord thy God,
as he hath spoken.
Israel?
A nation "above all nations"?
But that's what Moses declared.
Who am I to question GOD's prophet?
If we claim to love GOD, and He loves Israel, why can't we love the nation He loves?
Obviously, if we don't love GOD, we can't love what He loves.
Others would counter, "but we don't love the same GOD".
And that would set a whole, new argument, to distract from the issue.
Which the enemy of CHRIST loves to delve in.
That enemy thrives in confusion, deception, and destruction.
I'm a born again workman.
I thrive for purity, perfection, and precision.
Which only SPIRIT and Scripture can provide.
The GOD I believe in is the ONLY One JESUS led me to:
Matthew 22:32-33
King James Version
32 I am the God of Abraham,
and the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob?
God is not the God of the dead,
but of the living.
33 And when the multitude heard this,
they were astonished at his doctrine.
In these last days, you will be known by your stand.
Are you for, or against GOD?
Are you for, or against Israel?
Are you for, or against JESUS?
And by that very stand, you have set your own future.
GOD was clear about His love for Israel:
Genesis 12:3
King James Version
3 And I will bless them that bless thee,
and curse him that curseth thee:
and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
We all have a lot of thinking to do.
Which we should.
While there's still time.
