Israel And Obama

It was a very wise political move to visit Israel. Obama has shown me that he does have some intelligence. That little tiny democratic nation (the only one around there) which is surrounded by nations that hate it, knows how to survive as well as thrive politically, militarily, economically, academically and many ways too numerous to mention. The nation of Israel has turned an arrid, unproductive desert land into one of the greatest agricultural giants on this planet. What a glorious history this nation has! As the weakness of human nature would have it......many are envious of Israel. Please do not be guilty of such a thing. Hatred is a cancer that will keep people from progressing. You can be a success also. Go pay the price. Work hard. Make some sacrifices. Success is out there. Go for it.  I am of the persuasion that God has selected Israel to be an example for the world to see what humans are capable of.  I also want to make it perfectly clear that God does not have "favorite people."  Yes, He has made certain promises to the nation of Israel, but please be advised, most of those promises are for anyone who is willing to believe in them. God is not a "respecter of persons."  (Acts 10:34)  This means two things:  Nobody is special.  Everybody is special.  God selected ancient Israel to introduce to the world, the doctrine of monotheism.  And yes, He selected certain prophets of Israel to announce the coming of the Messiah.  Jesus is the Messiah.  Jesus is our Savior.  He is the greatest gift to the human race.  Incidently (or not) Jesus was a Jew.  "He came unto His own, but His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them who believe on His name.  (John 1: 11,12)   I belong to Jesus.  He loves me.  I love Him.
