Featured Another Chance for a Blessing

Our Messiah (John 1:41), and Lord, Jesus Christ (2 Thessalonians 1:12),
was born, raised, lived His earthly life, and rose as a Jew:

Genesis 49:10
Luke 1:32, 2:22-40
John 1:11, 4:9, 18:35
Acts 2:30
Romans 1:3
2 Timothy 2:8.

He had a Jewish mother:

"Mary’s genealogy is supplied in Luke 3:23-38. Dr. Henry Morris explains how we know this genealogy is Mary’s:

“Joseph was clearly the son of Jacob (Matthew 1:16, so this verse [Luke 3:23—says “son of Heli”] should be understood to mean “son-in-law of Heli.” Thus, the genealogy of Christ in Luke is actually the genealogy of Mary, while Matthew gives that of Joseph."

He was born King of the Jews (Luke 2:2).
He died King of the Jews (John 19:19).
He died for all people (John 3:15-17).
We are one in him (Galatians 3:28).
He is still Jewish and will remain so for ever (Revelation 5:5).

Based on these scriptures,:

And I will make of thee a great nation,
and I will bless thee,
and make thy name great;
and thou shalt be a blessing:
And I will bless them that bless thee,
and curse him that curseth thee:
and in thee shall all the families on earth be blessed.
Genesis 12:2-3

It hath pleased them verily;
and their debtors they are.
For if the Gentiles have been made
partakers of their spiritual things,
their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
Romans 15:27

you can show the thousands of people who read the Baptist Board
along with You Know Who by making a simple declaration;
and by doing so await your blessing.

Like this one: God bless Jews and Israel.

Apparently, in the last thread with a very similar title, many forum members were unclear as to why the above request is on the Board.

Don't you want the blessing God offers in Genesis 12:3?

Specifically, "And I will bless them that bless thee"

You might ask if the "thee" is Abraham, the physical nation of Israel, or the Israelites who believe(d) in God.
It doesn't really matter to me although I see some prejudice against Jews on this board mainly by people who either don't think that Jesus is Jewish now or that He never really was Jewish.

When we see Him in the future you can argue about it with Him.

Look at this scripture and then say He is not forever Jewish:

And one of the elders saith unto me,
Weep not: behold,
the Lion of the tribe of Judah,
the Root of David,
hath prevailed to open the book,
and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Revelation 5:5

 

Blessed be the Lord thy God,
which delighted in thee,
to set thee on the throne of Israel:

because the Lord loved Israel for ever,

therefore he made thee king,
to do judgement and justice.
1 Kings 10:9

Praise to God that He loves Israel for ever.

 

Now I say that Jesus Christ
was a minister of the circumcision
for the truth of God,
to confirm the promises
made unto the fathers:
Romans 15:8

Praise to God that Jesus was a minister to the Jews.

 

Only the Lord
had a delight in thy fathers
to love them,
and he chose their seed after them,
even you above all people,
as it is this day.
Deuteronomy 10:15

Praise the God who loves Israel.

 

(Regarding Israel/Jacob)

...as touching the election,
they are beloved for the fathers' sake.
Romans 11:28b

Praise to God that He loves Israel.

 

If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood,
(for under it the people received the law,)
what further need was there
that another priest should rise
after the order of Melchisedec,
and not be called after the order of Aaron?
Hebrews 7:11

For it is evident
that our Lord
sprang out of Judah;
of which tribe
Moses spake nothing concerning the priesthood.
But this man,
because he continueth ever,
hath an unchangeable priesthood.
Wherefore he is able
also
to save them to the uttermost
that come unto God by him,
seeing he ever liveth
to make intercession for them.
Hebrews 7:14,:24-25

Praise God that our Jewish Savior is eternal, saves to the uttermost, and lives as a priest making intercession for us.

 

Even us,
whom he hath called,
not of the Jews only,
but also of the Gentiles
Romans 9:24

Praise to God that He calls.

 

And had a wall great and high,
and had twelve gates,
and at the gates twelve angels,
and names written thereon,
which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations,
and in them
the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Revelation 21:12,14

Praise to God that we will live our future lives in a city with Jewish names on the gates and foundations.

 

I Jesus have sent mine angel
to testify unto you
these things in the churches.
I am the root and the offspring of David,
and the bright and morning star.
Revelation 22:16

From the last chapter of the last book in the bible, Jesus identifies Himself as Jewish.
Praise be to God.

 

I will bless them that bless thee,
and curse him that curseth thee.
