Last night, @TuckerCarlson acknowledged, “as a Christian,” the biblical mandate to “bless Israel,” but suggested that the “government of Benjamin Netanyahu” was not biblical “Israel.” Seems to me a pretty misguided point that this son of a rabbi will try to address: — Israel has always been Israel; it has always had leaders, some good some not. The Bible has never qualified the mandate to “bless Israel” by who was leading it (and, btw, I support Netanyahu). — the nation of Israel today comprises a people that prays in the same language, in the same places and with the same liturgy as in ancient times. Its faith is governed by the Old Testament. This is the same nation of Israel referred to in the Bible. — the return of the Jewish people from exile to statehood within the Land of Israel is exactly the Biblical prophesy of Ezekiel, Isaiah and Jeremiah, and actualizes God’s covenants with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You don’t need to believe any of this, but if you are a self-proclaimed Christian professing allegiance to Biblical covenants and prophesies but denying these principles, I don’t understand your theology.
