The Heart of God for Israel

GOD’S COVENANT WITH DAVID

God is faithful to perform that good thing which He has promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. That good thing is a Branch of righteousness growing up in the house of David, namely the coming of the Messiah. Jesus was sent by the Father to fulfill this promise made to Israel. When Jesus executes judgment and establishes righteousness in the earth, God will save Judah and Jerusalem will dwell safely.

Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist, summarized the appearing of Jesus in these words: “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people, and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, that we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us; to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant” (Luke 1:68–72 RSV).

The whole storyline revolves around the people who are in covenant with God. The house of Israel and the house of Judah, King David and his throne, and the salvation of Judah and Jerusalem are at the center of God’s promise. The son of David will sit on his ancestor’s throne in Jerusalem.

The King of kings will also rule from that city. The coming of the Messiah takes place in Israel’s storyline. All God’s promises to Israel converge in and point to Jesus. Israel and Jerusalem are not marginalized nor become realities of the past. God plans to exalt His Son in direct connection to His relationship with Israel. The nations drawn and saved by Jesus are joined to Israel’s covenants and promises.

PRAYER

Our Father,

We bless Your holy name. We praise You for Your covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah and Your faithfulness in fulfilling Your promise. We thank you for Jesus, the Branch of righteousness born in the house of David. We wait with expectation to see Him execute judgment and righteousness in the earth from Jerusalem. We long to see Jerusalem called THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

We pray that Your worldwide Church will understand that Israel remains in the picture till the end because of Your faithfulness to Your covenants. Show the Church that Israel will play a central role in end-time events as Jesus is the Messiah of Israel as well as the Savior of the nations.

We pray that You will open the eyes of the Jewish people to recognize that Jesus is the Messiah they have been waiting for. We pray You will call and send more messengers to Israel to share the good news. We pray for You to strengthen and anoint those who are already preaching the gospel of peace to the Jewish people (Romans 10:14–15).

In the name of Jesus. Amen.
