His Love For Israel
QUESTION: Why would God mention His love for Israel rather than any other Nation?
ANSWER: It has to do with His ongoing plan where He is using Israel to Bring all of His people back to Himself. After man kind fell into sin God raised up Israel to Bring Salvation to the Ends of the earth. They are the Nation that brought us both our Savior, Yeshua (Jesus) and the Scriptures. So He has a special love for them because they are doing the work of revealing God to the Nations. Even when many of them do not realize it. So His Special Love for them has everything to do with His Love for Us also.
In the Bible God says: "... if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews' spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings." (Romans:15:27)
How much greater spiritual blessing can one receive than to receive God's Word and Salvation? We do own them a great deal, and during the regathering God promises to give them great riches through the Gentiles (Isaiah 60:4-12).
