To the Nation of Israel
And His Chosen People
from Bill Koenig

An open letter to the people of Israel and to Jewish people everywhere:
We want you to know that your best friend in the world is the passionate Christian who would live and die for you. Please call on us and we will be there for you whenever you need us. Just look next to you, and you will see that we are there also!
God is allowing the current world events to bring our times to completion and to bring many more to Him. Yes, all that is happening does have a purpose in His plan; our prayers for the Peace of Jerusalem are about to be answered.
Please know that the Lord is speaking to you these days. It is time for you to get your life right with the Lord, Israel.
If you keep sinning, you will keep paying the price, because sin does have consequences!
If you keep denying Him, you will also continue paying the price, because many are called but very few are chosen!
If you keep subscribing to the “land for peace” mantra of “peace and security,” you must know that there will be no lasting peace. Your only peace is in the Messiah!
Man has not been given the ability to comprehend or understand the purpose of death and the tragedies that you are facing, but know that your God, the God of the Bible, loves you. Nothing in the world happens over which He does not have control.
The God of Israel is not millions of miles away. To the contrary, He exists in those who have called on Him, and He will come into your life if you will ask Him.
If you have doubts about His existence, ask Him to show Himself. He will answer your petition just like He has many others who have doubted Him but who have reached out and were given proof of His existence.
Out of His love for you and His desire to be everything in your life, He wants you to reach out your hand, and then He will take yours. Learn to walk in His presence, because there is nothing like it. Trust me, your life will never be the same!
It is time to press into the power, which can only come through Jesus Christ.
I am not here to evangelize you, but I do want to tell you about the One who can deliver you, and to tell you about those Christians who would put their lives on the line to be there for you.
It is the existence of Jesus Christ in us that has given us this love for you and for your nation. Those who have the heart of Jesus Christ will also have a heart for Israel and for the Jewish people.
Please read these words spoken by Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago alongside the Sea of Galilee. Take time to ponder and pray over these words because they will bless you and give you the hope for today, for the future, and for eternity.
Matthew 5: 1-12
The Sermon on the Mount—The Beatitudes
Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them saying:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
Our God loves us all, but He is especially fond of you, the nation of Israel and His Chosen People, because you are the “apple of His eye” (Zechariah 2:8).
In the New Testament Letter to Romans, Paul (formerly Saul, a Jew and a Pharisee who was devoted to serving the God of Israel by strict adherence to the Law) wrote that followers of Jesus Christ have been grafted into the olive tree of Jewish inheritance and blessing (Romans 11:17). We are your brothers and sisters, and we are there for you too!
I won’t expound or attempt to share Jesus Christ with you, but if you ever want to know more about Him, please ask!
For now, we will continue to stand by you, to comfort you and to be there for you… in the bad times and in the good times… in the Spirit of His love for you! We are your best friends!
We love you, Israel. We love the Jewish people! We love Jesus Christ! All to His Glory!
