Many Evangelicals despise the Jewish people, or at least, give no thoughts to them as God's earthly people. But Psalm 129:5 says: “May
all who hate Zion, be put to shame and turned backward.” Though not all
covenant guys hate Israel, or ignore Israel, still many turn against the Jews
and believe that the Lord is finished with Israel. However, God loves them and
therefore we should as well (Rom. 9:28). “They are beloved to God.”
The Hebrew word for
hate is “sa-nay” and can be translated “to be unable to put up with,” or “to
slight.” Thus, “to disdain.”
Woe to those who
turn their backs on Israel.
