In the Bible, Israel is prophesied to be a heavy stone and yet will be a blessing for all nations.

Since its founding in 1948, Israel has been a source of hope and inspiration for people around the world. Israel is a very special place where people of all faiths can come together.

In Genesis 12:2–3, Yahweh tells Abraham, “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you, I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

This promise from Almighty “God” (Yahweh) has been fulfilled throughout history, as the nation of Israel has been a blessing to all nations.

What Problems Israel is Facing Daily

Throughout history, many have tried and are still trying to take possession of the land of Israel and divide the Jewish people. In this part of my blog, I’ll share infallible things that had happened, are now happening, and that will soon come to pass in the holy land of Israel.

All I’m about to tell you here was already foretold in the Bible, but many still don’t know about them or simply ignore these things. I’m praying that you’re different and you’ll give your full attention. “For ‘God’ (Yahweh) does nothing without revealing his secret to his servant prophets.” (Amos 3:7)

Bible Verses Showing the Past, Present, and Future of Israel

“Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem will also be against Judah.” (Zechariah 12:2)

“Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares Yahweh, when it shall no longer be said, ‘As Yahweh lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt,’ but ‘As Yahweh lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the north country and out of all the countries where he had driven them.’ For I will bring them back to their own land that I gave to their fathers.” (Jeremiah 16:14–15)

Bible Verses Showing the Fate of the Nations That Are Against Israel

“And on that day, I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.” (Zechariah 12:9)

Almighty Yahweh and His Words Cannot be Mocked

“Remember the former things of old; for I am Yahweh, and there is no other; I am Yahweh, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all My purpose.” (Isaiah 46:9–10)

“Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.” (Revelation 1:3)

Again, remember, Yahweh said, I will bless those who bless you and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you. This promise from Yahweh has been fulfilled throughout history, as the nation of Israel has been a blessing to all nations.

But notice also that Yahweh said this warning: “Whoever curses you (Israel), I will curse.” Yes, those nations and peoples hating Israel are putting a staggering cup upon themselves while Israel continues to be blessed.

In conclusion, although Israel feels like a heavy stone for many to bear, but it will be a blessing for all nations. The nation of Israel has a great and long history, and its people have always been known for their strength and determination.

Today, Israel is a modern, prosperous country with a strong economy and a vibrant culture. It is a leader in many fields, including technology, medicine, and agriculture. Israel has also made significant contributions to American culture and society.

Israel is a beacon of democracy in a region that is often plagued by dictatorship and conflict. Yes, Israel is a light unto the world, and her example is leading the way to a better future for all mankind.

As the world comes to know and understand Israel, they will also come to know and love Almighty Yahweh, the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
