No, The Bible Doesn’t Command We “Stand With Israel” When reporting or lamenting over the gross human rights violations and genocide by the modern state of Israel against the Palestinian people, many Christians immediately freak the heck out. In fact, I am often told that I am “not a Christian” because I dare criticize the state of Israel’s behavior, as if blind support of a modern nation state were an obligation of being a True Christian™. Upon being stripped of my membership card in Christianity, many of these “internet Bible scholars” quickly remind me: God commands us to stand with Israel! But is that even true? I mean, for those of us who grow up in EvangelFundamentalism we’re taught that from day one– but just because our childhood pastor taught us this, and just because Grandma believed it, doesn’t make it true. There has been a resurgence of voices claiming God commands us to stand with Israel since President Trump unveiled his “peace plan” for Israel and Palestine, which isn’t a plan for peace at all and is something that Christians and people of good will should overwhelmingly oppose. As your Bible Explainer in Chief, let me quickly break it down for you– because no, the Bible doesn’t command we stand with Israel. 1. The entire “stand with Israel” theology is based on one verse, and the verse had nothing to do with any modern nation state born a few thousand years later. The bottom line is that if you believe that the STATE OF ISRAEL IS YHWH'S CHOSEN... Then YOU really need too actually READ YOUR BIBLE! The Most High does NOT care about a genocidal nation founded in 1947, that worships #Lucifer and murders His people without consequence! The nation of Israel, at best, is a Satanic group of impersonators... with a violent history of theft and deception, who are known for stealing other people's history and identity as well So just STOP IT! Israel is NOT the people of the bible... And if you think they are you have clearly not read the bible! https://www.benjaminlcorey.com/no-bible-doesnt-command-stand-israel/
