I want to share something powerful with you. God has offered divine forgiveness to Israel. He's redeemed them, forgiven them. Think about that – innocent blood, forgiven. It’s a reminder of the incredible grace available to all of us.
God has exalted Jesus as Prince and Savior, offering repentance and forgiveness of sins. This is a gift, not just for Israel, but for everyone who believes. I encourage you to pray for Israel's salvation. Blessing this holy nation brings blessings in return. God’s grace and favor will become evident in your life when you hold His chosen people close to your heart. They are precious in His sight.
Remember this: never curse Israel. Speaking against them invites judgment and can bring real hardship into your life. Instead, let's lift them up in prayer and show the same love and forgiveness that God has shown us.
But thou, Yisrael, art my servant, Yaakov whom I have chosen, the seed of Avraham my friend.Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
Hear, O Yisrael: YY our Elohim, YY is ONE.And thou shalt love YY thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Now therefore put away, said he, the strange elohim which are among you, and incline your heart unto YY Elohim of Yisrael.
Be merciful, O YY , unto thy people Yisrael, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Yisrael's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Yisrael, saith YY ; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith YY , and I will not keep anger for ever.
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Yaakov, but Yisrael: for as a prince hast thou power with Elohim and with men, and hast prevailed.
Ye are my witnesses, saith YY , and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no Elohim formed, neither shall there be after me.
Yet now hear, O Yaakov my servant; and Yisrael, whom I have chosen:Thus saith YY that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Yaakov, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.
For Yaakov my servant's sake, and Yisrael mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of kohanim, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Yisrael.
And now, Yisrael, what doth YY thy Elohim require of thee, but to fear YY thy Elohim, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve YY thy Elohim with all thy heart and with all thy soul,To keep The Commandments of YY , and his statutes, which I Command thee this day for thy good?
For thou art an holy people unto YY thy Elohim: YY thy Elohim hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of kohanim, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Yisrael.
But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Yhudah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Yisrael; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
Let Yisrael hope in YY : for with YY there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
But thou, Yisrael, art my servant, Yaakov whom I have chosen, the seed of Avraham my friend.Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy Elohim: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you an Elohim: and ye shall know that I am YY your Elohim, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
Him hath Elohim exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Yisrael, and forgiveness of sins.
Behold, the days come, saith YY , that I will make a new covenant with the house of Yisrael, and with the house of Yhudah:Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith YY :But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Yisrael; After those days, saith YY , I will put my Torah in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their Elohim, and they shall be my people.And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know YY : for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith YY : for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.
But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know YY : for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith YY : for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
For what nation is there so great, who hath Elohim so nigh unto them, as YY our Elohim is in all things that we call upon him for?
But now thus saith YY that created thee, O Yaakov, and he that formed thee, O Yisrael, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
For thus saith YY -TZvaot; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of YY is risen upon thee.For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but YY shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
For, lo, the days come, saith YY , that I will bring again the captivity of my people Yisrael and Yhudah, saith YY : and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your Elohim.
He is YY our Elohim: his judgments are in all the earth.He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he Commanded to a thousand generations.Which covenant he made with Avraham, and his oath unto Yitzchak;And confirmed the same unto Yaakov for a Torah, and to Yisrael for an everlasting covenant:Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Kenaan, the lot of your inheritance:
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for YY thy Elohim, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Yaakov, and to restore the preserved of Yisrael: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
I say then, Hath Elohim cast away his people? Elohim forbid! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Avraham, of the tribe of Binyamin.Elohim hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the Scripture saith of Eliyahu how he maketh intercession to Elohim against Yisrael, saying,
Now YY had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: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.
And say unto them, Thus saith YY Elohim; Behold, I will take the children of Yisrael from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Yisrael; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
In those days the house of Yhudah shall walk with the house of Yisrael, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
For TZiyon's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Yerushalayim's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a menorah that burneth.
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith YY , so shall your seed and your name remain.
YY shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep The Commandments of YY thy Elohim, and walk in his ways.And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of YY ; and they shall be afraid of thee.
Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your Elohim.Speak ye comfortably to Yerushalayim, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of YY 's hand double for all her sins.
They that trust in YY shall be as mount TZiyon, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.As the mountains are round about Yerushalayim, so YY is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
YY also shall roar out of TZiyon, and utter his voice from Yerushalayim; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but YY will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Yisrael.
Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.
Thus shall they know that I YY their Elohim am with them, and that they, even the house of Yisrael, are my people, saith YY Elohim.
And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of YY , and to the house of the Elohim of Yaakov; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the Torah shall go forth of TZiyon, and the word of YY from Yerushalayim.
For thy Maker is thine husband; YY -TZvaot is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Yisrael; The Elohim of the whole earth shall he be called.
A land which YY thy Elohim careth for: the eyes of YY thy Elohim are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
Let Yisrael hope in YY : for with YY there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.And he shall redeem Yisrael from all his iniquities.
Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Torah, and the service of Elohim, and the promises;Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Moshiach came, who is over all, Elohim blessed for ever! Amen.
Hear the word of YY , O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Yisrael will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
Therefore say, Thus saith YY Elohim; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Yisrael.
Thus saith YY -TZvaot; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Yerushalayim: and they shall be my people, and I will be their Elohim, in truth and in righteousness.
But Yisrael shall be saved in YY with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Yisrael: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our Elohim.
And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Yisrael, whom Elohim went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their elohim?For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Yisrael to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, YY , art become their Elohim.
And Moshe went up unto Elohim, and YY called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Yaakov, and tell the children of Yisrael;Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of kohanim, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Yisrael.
For YY will have mercy on Yaakov, and will yet choose Yisrael, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Yaakov.
For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith YY ; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is TZiyon, whom no man seeketh after.
YY hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
For YY 's portion is his people; Yaakov is the lot of his inheritance.He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
