Israel - We Must Stand By Her

On our recent trip to Israel, we learned the importance of standing by Israel. There is a clear divine blessing given to those who support this nation and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Psalm 122:6 - "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, may they prosper who love you, may there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels". We must pray that our nation decides to support the small nation of Israel. Consider that our current and past two presidents have called to separate the nation of Israel into an Israeli state and a Palestinian state, and is it no wonder that we have cursed ourselves in this and our economy has fallen? Now consider Canada, (who has not always supported Israel) and how their current Prime Minister has openly stated that they will stand by Israel, and as a result their economy and their currency is rising and becoming stronger than the US economy and US dollar, as well as other major nations' currencies. Could it be that a nation's economy is affected by whether that nation chooses to bless Israel or curse Israel? Note what God promises Abraham in Genesis 12:3 - "I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you." We must bless the nation of Israel!
