JD: David I guess the largest pro-Israel group in the United States is Christians United for Israel, which many would think would be devoted to seeing Jews come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ but that’s definitely not the case.
DJ: You know they have a very high profile in fact Vice President Mike Pence was their keynote speaker in their annual meeting in July. But I was looking at an article in Christianity Today the title in which was “Why Evangelize the Jews” and the author of the article noted that some people denigrate the methods and motives of people who evangelize Jews, that’s a quote. And then they claim that focusing ministry on are targeting Jews is just plain wrong. And then he quotes from John Hagee who is the founder of Christians United for Israel he says, Billy Graham didn’t target Jews Bill Bright refused to target the Jews, I’m not targeting the Jews and that means targeting them with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
JD: David you know we don’t want to give the impression that we’re against the idea of standing with Israel because there are some strong Biblical reasons for doing exactly that. But I do believe and I think the purpose for this conversation is that people need to be wise and do their homework to know how to be good stuart of the Lord's money that he has given us.
DJ: And there are a number of things people can do. Always go to the websites and try to find their statements of faith and find out what they believe concerning the scriptures because we want people to be handling the word of God correctly as they interact with the Jewish people.
JD: And let me just mention also, in the book of Romans chapter 1 the gospel is the power of God and to salvation to everyone to believeth the Jew first and then the rest of the world. We need to be winning Jewish people to Jesus Christ in this time in this day before all of the end time scenario unfolds.
DJ: Well that's right.
JD: David James with some very important information for those who are making donations to pro-Israel Christian groups.
We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
Genesis 12:3 says that we are to bless the Jews. Now that’s a command. However, there is only one way to really bless the Jew. That’s to give the Jews the gospel so that they can get saved, that’s Romans 1:16.
Notice that statement in the verse to the Jew first. Anyone that is not saved will enter the tribulation period and then ultimately be cased into the lake of fire. That’s Jew or Gentile, all people. In Romans 9:1-3, Paul says that he would be will to go to hell himself if he could win Jews to Jesus Christ. Now that is real compassion that we need.
