The Bible teaches that the nation of Israel has and will play a pivotal role in many of the most significant events that God will bring about. As God's people, there has been no shortage of enemies which have arisen against Israel over the years. It is my belief that a Christian should stand with Israel, God's people, following the biblical principle that those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursed. The biblical promises to Abraham that the land of Israel shall be his and his descendants forever remain true today as they did when God uttered them.
