    here is a divine principle that begins in Genesis andruns through the Scripture, though it is little known tothe church: God blesses the Gentiles through the Jewishpeople.

    God said to Abram, Get out of your country, from yourkindred, and from your fathers house; To a land that I willshow you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you

    and make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him whocurses you(Gen. 12:1-3). Gods policy towards anti-Semitism is establishedbeyond all doubt in these verses. He has promised topour out His blessings on those who bless the Jewishpeople and Israel, and He has promised tocurse those who are anti-Semitic.

    BLESSINGS TO A GENTILE EMPLOYERThe principle of God blessing the

    Gentiles through the Jewish people isdemonstrated in the story of Jacob andLaban in Genesis 2931. Jacob agreed towork seven years for Laban, in exchangefor the hand of beautiful Rachel in marriage.Laban deceived Jacob and gave to him his daughter Leah

    instead. Thus Jacob was forced to work another sevenyears for Rachel.

    Laban also changed Jacobs wages ten times andstarted looking disfavorably on him, so Jacob fled withLeah and Rachel and all their possessions. When Labanheard of this, he went after Jacob. When he caught up withthem, he asked Jacob why he fled. Jacob said, You havechanged my wages ten times, each time to my hurt, andyou deceived me into marrying your homely daughter.

    Laban the Gentile employer said, Please stay, ifI have found favor in your eyes, for I have learned byexperience that the Lord has blessed me for your sake(Gen. 30:27). Laban knew firsthand that God blessed theGentiles through Israel.

    BLESSINGS TO A GENTILE NATIONA second Bible illustration is Joseph, son of Israel, who

    was sold into the land of Egypt by his jealous brothers,but who later became Egypts prime minister. ThroughPharaohs dream, he foresaw seven years of plenty andseven years of famine. When the famine came, Egypt,under Josephs leadership, became the envy of the world.The Gentile world was spared from starvation because

    of one Jewish slave who became prime minJesus also supported the principle that G

    the Gentiles through Israel when He said, sathe Jews (John 4:22). It was through the Jewthat God gave the Gentiles His Word, the the prophets, the Messiah, and the apostlethe Jewish contribution from Christianity, and t

    be no Christianity at all.

    BLESSINGS TO A GENTILE REVOLUTIONADuring the American Revolution, George W

    and the Continental Army were starving and fresnows of Valley Forge. Hyam Solomon, a Jew

    from Philadelphia, arranged fof America and Europe to gof dollars to George Washhis army. These funds turnof war, and Gen. Washingtothe British. In appreciation ofcontribution to the birth of Ainstructed the engravers of thone dollar bill to engrave athe Jewish people over the h

    American eaglethe Star of David surroun

    starburst of the Shekinah glory of God.

    BLESSINGS TO A GENTILE SOLDIER & BENEThree times in Acts 10 the Bible declares

    a Roman centurion who lived in Caesaria, agave alms to the Jewish people and was a mreputation among all the nation of the JewCornelius was a righteous man, who benefiteprinciple of Gen. 12:1-3. What was his blessing

    Peter received a vision that broke down thbarrier forbidding Jews from associating with spiritual matters. Upon Gods instruction, PeCornelius house, preached the gospel, andin Cornelius household believed, were savedfilled. And those of the circumcision who belastonished, as many as came with Peter, bgift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on t(Acts 10:44, 45).

    What made this possible? A Roman CeGentileblessed the Jewish people, and Gthe windows of heaven and poured upon hhousehold such blessings he could not contain

    Gods Covenant Concerningthe Promised Land

    Excerpt from Te Prophecy Study Bibl e, John Hagee (Editor)

    TRIVIA: After crushing Bar Kochbas revolt in Jerusalem (132-135 CE),the Roman Emperor Hadrian applied the name Syria Palestina to theentire region that had formerly included Judaea (Judah) Province,which some scholars interpret to have been an attempt to suppress Jewishnational feelings. Palestine comes from the name of one of Israels ancientenemies recorded in the scripturesthe Philistines, who brought with t hemtheir gods and pagan customs from across the Aegean sea, as they settledon the southern coastlines of Canaan.
