“It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back the preserved of Israel. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”
Isaiah 49:6
Welcome to the Israel Report.
A word about our Mission and our Purpose:
Since Adam and Eve rebelled against their loving Creator, mankind has struggled with every conceivable type of sin, the root of which is found in Pride. Like the devil, we too wish to raise our throne above God and reign supreme in our lives. Worshipping our wants and desires and subjugating others to do the same. Today the rise of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish rhetoric is an age old problem taking on new dimensions due to technology that allows unrestrained thoughts to be shared across the world in a matter of seconds, and for people to plot, and carry out evil on a broad scale. This is Satan’s greatest tool to make us believe that “We too can be like God…”
Our purpose here is to shed the truth as revealed in prophetic scriptures regarding who the Savior of the World is and why we all need to recognize Him and to surrender our lives into His loving care. As the scripture in Isaiah 49:6 above clearly shows, God sent His Messiah not only to save Israel, but all of mankind. There is One God in whom all of our futures and our well being depend. He is a God of great Mercy and He extends it to every man, woman, and child. If however we refuse His grace, we will certainly place ourselves in the path of His wrath.
People have told me “I don’t believe a loving God would send anyone to an eternal hell”. I respond, “A Righteous God has to. He must separate good from evil in order to protect that which He loves. However a Loving and Merciful God will provide you a remedy, a way out of your mess and into a state of permanent forgiveness and redemption. That is exactly what He did, by Himself becoming a man and dwelling among us, so we could know that He understands our temptations and our condition, and can show us a better way to live, apart from sin. He then demonstrated the greatest act of love the universe will ever see, and took our sins upon Himself and paid the penalty for our sins in order to redeem us and give us a way back to the Father and an Eternal Life in a paradise no man has seen, or heard, or even begun to conceive.
God set a people aside in order to bring forth His word and to reveal His plan. They were not perfect, and they sinned and paid a great price for their sins. Chosen not because of their greatness among nations but precisely because they were the least of the nations. Like Gideon, God would use a humble people to show His greatness.
Gentiles (Non-Jews) suffer a jealousy and anger when they are told they are not part of the “Chosen” people of God. “What makes them so special” they say. And this jealousy is like that of Cain and Able. Able gave God the Best of his flock joyfully, while Cain gave less than his best and without the gratitude shown by his brother. That jealousy drove Cain to Murder his brother Able, and today that same spirit of Jealousy causes the world to want to murder the Jewish People and destroy Israel. They don’t understand the plan and purposes of God to save and unite all nations through the example set by Israel and the Messiah that would come from them.
I ask people “What part of being chosen were you jealous of? Was it having your entire history and that of your ancestors written down for all to see? Every sin and failing becomes a glaring lesson in morality and lost blessing for the rest of the world? Perhaps it is because they are given the Keys to the Kingdom and yet their failure to remain righteous (something none of their detractors are capable of themselves) brings them under judgment and causes them to be hated by all people and cursed to wander the earth for a couple thousand years. Yearning to return to their home. Was that the part you are jealous of? Especially considering No Man or Woman or Child can remain righteous and keep the laws of God under their own power. It is impossible because we have the sin nature of Adam living within us.
This is why we all need a Savior! Jew AND Gentile!
God made promises to Israel and the Jewish people that as a Just God He Must Keep. They are forever and without repentance. It is their promise that in the end, it was all worth it.
It is also proof to the outside world that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the One True God and we too can depend on His word and His failthfulness to perform it, all the way to dying the most excruciating death on the cross and taking the Judgment meant for us upon Himself.
That… is Love!
“If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:29
When a non-Jew becomes a believer and partaker in the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua (The Hebrew name for Jesus that means Salvation) they are grafted into the original vine through which comes their spiritual sustenence, and into the commonwealth of Israel (See Romans 11: 11-31).
That means you are part of the Kingdom God refers to as the “Apple of My Eye”. No, you don’t become physically Jewish (and you certainly do not replace the Jews) you are still Irish, Italian, Egyptian, Iranian or whatever you were born as, but Spiritually you have become a Citizen of God’s Kingdom. The wall of separation has been torn down between Jew and Gentile and we are all adopted as Children of the Living God. To war against Israel and the Jews is to war against your own spiritual homeland and people.
Remember however, that just as you retain your cultural heritage, so does a Jew. And there are certain promises and customs God made with the Jews that will continue to belong only to them.
God has made it clear that the only way to the Father is through the Son (Yeshua) and that is true for both the Jew and the Gentile. It is through the suffering of the Jewish people that God brought the message of Salvation to the gentile. For that we must all be thankful to God, and to the Jew. It is through their suffering and their wandering that the Word of God was made known to the world, and it is through the salvation of the gentiles that provokes the Jew to jealousy in order that they can come in humility to their Messiah for forgiveness rather than think it was given to them for their Righteousness or Chosen Status. In Romans 3: 23-24 the Lord makes it clear that all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God.
Friends, we are in the End of Days as described in Bible Prophecy. We will be exploring all of this in the days ahead. Know this, TODAY is the TIME of YOUR DECISION! No one is guaranteed tomorrow, or even another minute on this earth.
I pray this website can help bring both Jews and Non-Jews together in Unity, and Joy, and Gratitude to the One True God for His Mercy and Grace. I know there are a lot of questions that can be hard to comprehend when you first hear them, like the Triune God Head. How can Three be One? You (Jew and Gentile) will be surprised to find out it is a very Jewish concept found in the Old Covenant Scriptures.
But that is for another day…
God Bless,
Tom Cooper
