When did the history of Israel begin? Not in 1948, when the modern state of Israel became independent, and not in 1917, when the British Empire declared its agreement to a homeland for the Jewish people. As Al McCarn explains in his book, Christian Zionism 101: Ten Reasons Christians Should Support Israel and the Jewish People, the history of Israel began when God called Abraham out of his homeland to become father of the Covenant Nation 4,000 years ago. That’s one of the reasons Christians should support Israel and the Jewish people. There are more, as we learn in this concluding part of our conversation.
Israel is God’s Covenant Nation, but what exactly does that have to do with followers of Messiah Yeshua – both traditional Christians and Messianic/Hebraic believers? Barry Phillips and David Jones provide some answers in their midrash, “The Blood of the Covenant.” It’s a subject worthy of many songs, such as the ones shared on this show by Laura Metzing and the Aleph Tav Band.

Something that doesnt make sense to me about Isaiah 65: why is a newborn compared with a sinner in age (100 years)? This doesnt sit right with me. I have heard the first 40 chapters of Isaiah have a different author than the end chapters. But, John referenced Isaiah 53. Revelation confirms part of Isaiah 65 by saying there will be no sorrow in New Jerusalem, but they contradict each other about whether there will be death or everlasting life. I think the gospels quote Yeshua as saying there will be everlasting life. So, which is correct? I know we discussed this a couple weeks ago, but I didnt find satisfactory resolution to the issue/non-issue. I dont understand the prophets as easily as I do revelation. Can someone explain this to my finite brain, please? Its been nagging at me.
Speak to the people of Israel, that they take for me a contribution. From every man whose heart moves him you shall receive the contribution for me.
Exodus 25:2 ESV
It was common practice to exchange gifts for marriage: a bride price given to the bride and her family from the groom and a dowry given to the groom by the bride and her family. A bride price without a dowry could make the bride into a concubine, a wife with the added obligations of servitude.
When God brought Israel out of Egypt, he gave them a bride price from Egypt's coffers--it all belongs to him anyway. Here in Exo 25:2, he asks for part of that bride price back from Israel as a dowry. The exchange establishes the foundation for a healthy relationship instead of one of slavery.
Of course, disobedience to the covenant and commandments brings another kind of obligation and slavery. Only Yeshua can resolve that one.
