Our Hope is anchored in God’s Word: What has God said
in His Word about the Jewish people and the land of
Israel? What promises and covenants has God made to the
descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Every
Christian will be blessed to not only know these
scriptures, but recognize their fulfillment in this
time we live, and to use them as the basis of our
prayer for Israel.
In the previous studies, we examined the Scriptural
account of God’s covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob (Israel). God promised them the land of Canaan
and described its boundaries. In this study, God
chooses Israel as His own, declares that He will fight
for them, and promises to bless the land He gives them.
His covenant with Israel is eternal and remains as a
covenant with the Jewish people today.
Deut. 14:2 NASB 1995: God chose and separated Israel as
a people for His own possession out of all the people
on earth.
2 "For you are a holy people to the LORD your God, and
the LORD has chosen you to be a people for His own
possession out of all the peoples who are on the face
of the earth."
Deut. 28:7-11 NASB 1995: Deuteronomy 28 outlines the
blessings when Israel is obedient to God and the curses
when they are not. When they obey the Lord, all the
peoples of the earth will see that Israel is called by

the name of the Lord, and that He will bless them and
bless the land He will give to them.
7  “The LORD shall cause your enemies who rise up against
you to be defeated before you; they will come out
against you one way and will flee before you seven
ways.  8  The LORD will command the blessing upon you in
your barns and in all that you put your hand to, and He
will bless you in the land which the LORD your God gives
you.  9  The LORD will establish you as a holy people to
Himself, as He swore to you, if you keep the
commandments of the LORD your God and walk in His
ways.  10  So all the peoples of the earth will see
that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they
will be afraid of you.  11  The LORD will make you abound in
prosperity, in the offspring of your body and in
the offspring of your beast and in the produce of your
ground, in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers
to give you.
Deut. 29:13-15 NASB 1995: The covenant that God made in
Moses’ time is also for Israel today.
13  in order that He may establish you today as His people
and that He may be your God, just as He spoke to you
and as He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob. 14  “Now not with you alone am I making this
covenant and this oath,  15  but both with those who stand
here with us today in the presence of the LORD our God
and with those who are not with us here today
Deut. 29:29 NASB 1995: We thank the Lord that He is
revealing to us today the secret things (mysteries) of
His Word.
29 “The secret things belong to the LORD our God,
but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons
forever, that we may observe all the words of this law.
