Reading Time: 2 minutes

On this day 75 years ago, the United Nations voted to establish a separate state for Israel. Now more than ever, we must remember this day.

From The Israel Forever Foundation. On 29 November 1947, the United Nations General Assembly voted 33 to 13, with 10 abstentions and 1 absent, in favour of the Palestine Partition Plan. This vote did not just emerge out of nowhere, contrary to popular efforts to delegitimize the history that led up to this momentous occasion.

Who is praying on the wall?

 

In 1922, the League of Nations approved the British Mandate over Palestine – an ancient land with a name bestowed by the Romans. …

Citing the Balfour Declaration, the mandate outlined that the nations were in agreement with the original proclamation “in favor of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.” Whereas there may have been but a small percentage of Jews in the region, the longevity of the Jewish connection to the land was an accepted fact by nations worldwide. Years of longing, persecution, and political action gave life to a Jewish nationalism that represented this ancient history.

When the UN Committee reached the conclusion that, when the British Mandate for Palestine would end, there should be created both a Jewish state and as Arab state, internationalizing Jerusalem to be shared by both.

Although the partition map allotted the Jewish state only a small part of our ancestral land, the Zionist Organization and institutions of the Jewish community in Eretz Yisrael accepted the plan on its merits – the full recognition of our rights as a people to our national origins and a sovereign state where we could, indeed, live free.

All over the world, the Jewish community erupted with great joy. In Jerusalem, Zippy Porath shares how thousands went out to the streets to celebrate. And planning for implementation began as Chaim Weizman proclaimed “It is now our primary task to establish relations of peace and harmony with our Arab neighbors.” …

So as we begin the season of giving thanks, let us also raise our voice and protect the legacy of this day. …

How are you celebrating this day? Share your prayers and scriptures for Israel below.

Who has heard such a thing?
Who has seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day?
Or shall a nation be born at once?
For as soon as Zion travailed, she gave birth to her children.
Isaih 66:8

I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem, who shall never hold their peace day or night.
You (us) who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent, and give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
Isaih 63:6-7

Yes, Lord, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We also pray that their eyes would be opened to the medical tyranny that they have imposed upon their own people & repent for their actions and allow true freedom of choice once again! We also pray that their eyes would be opened to embrace Jesus as their Messiah!!

Thank You, Lord, for making a way for Israel to be established 75 years ago. Thank You for the protection that You have provided this nation.

Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel’s greatest ally is America. Lord I am asking for more unity and one accord to come into the ekklesias of America and Israel as we both have covenants with you. God chose Israel and America chose God. We are knitted together like Jonathan and David. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. Twins of revival and reformation are in process. God thank you that you are giving us your blueprints for this pivotal time in history. The one new man is in process, and I decree the veil is coming off Israel and they will recognize Jesus as Messiah on a massive born-again scale. We are under the protective wings of Lord and Savior Jesus. No King but Jesus.

Blessed Savior,

Please continue Lord, to keep Your hedge of protection around the borders of Israel. Send your warring angels, we pray, to deliver and protect those of Your people in Israel, we beseech You. Bring peace everlasting to Jerusalem. We thank You and praise You for Your loving kindness. In Jesus Name we ask this, Amen!

We pray for Israel: with their people: for they’re like Joseph’s coat of many colors covered by the blood of lamb JESUS: may they open their eyes, hearts and ears to the calling of the HOLY Kadosh ushering in Baruch ashem adoni: that their sons and daughters will receive the fire of the HOLY Kadosh: we pray that they will accomplish peace with out losing a piece of land: and that they stay strong even during the days called Jacobs trouble.

Do not the people of Israel, Jewish or not, still have to accept Jesus Christ as Savior?Does not the Bible say that is we bless those who do evil deeds that we are a partaker of those evil deeds? God’s blessing on Israel is not automatic. They do not operate under a different requirement. The ONLY way to God is thru Jesus Christ. Otherwise they are NOT followers of our God!

    I encourage you to read the Old Testament as God has a special plan for Israel! They are His covenant people!
    Many Jewish people are coming to Christ and during the tribulation 1/3 of the Jewish people will turn back and confess Jesus as their Savior!

I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. Gen 12:3

And…Jesus directed in the new testament…

But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you…Matthew 5:44

Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. Luke 6:28

And Jesus stated from the cross…

Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”… Luke 23:34

Israel is a multitude of nations promised to Abraham. “numbering as many as the sands or the stars”. Ancient Israel are not modern day Jews! the nation State of Israel is smaller than new Jersey. Jewish people believe in Judaism. that is the Talmud, These teachings are anti Christ. These are the murderers of Jesus Christ who said “let this be on our heads and our children’s heads. We need to pray for awakening in the body of Christ, not for the enemies of Christ

    Dear Rev Vernon York,
    Fear the LORD! God has NOT abandoned His people Israel! They are the Apple of His Eye! We gentiles also crucified our Lord. Actually our sins He bore so we all put Jesus on the Cross! This is the Grace of God towards ALL of us! Thank You Jesus! Don’t you know that salvation is to the Jew first then to the gentile? Read the Bible, read Romans Ch 11. We are grafted in to the olive tree, God will and is bringing His people, the Jewish people to Himself! God made Covenant with the Jewish people through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel) and He will not break that covenant!!!

      Hello Lori,
      We are saved by grace through faith not by race. Abrahams people were called Hebrews because they crossed the Hebron river. Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob who’s name was changed to ISRAEL making Jacob/Israel the VERY FIRST ISRAELITE ON THE PLANET…..Then Jacob had 12 son’s Ruben, Simeon, Levi, and then JUDAH…the first Judahite on the planet that is of the tribe of Judah. The other 11 tribes WERE NOT JEWS nor were they JEWISH. You first see the use of the word Jew when the tribes split up in kings. Paul’s tribe “Benjamin” joined with Judah to form the southern kingdom (HOUSE of Juda) and the 10 remaining tribes formed the HOUSE OF ISRAEL (SAMARIA) in the northern kingdom.
      There are ASHKANAZI JEWS, SEPHARDIC JEWS, KAZAR JEWS, BLOOD JEWS, SYNAGOGE OF SATAN JEWS, ORTODOX JEWS, AND MESSIANIC JEWS ETC.
      GODS CHOSEN PEOPLE ARE ISRAELITES. ONLY ONE TRIBE ARE JUDAHITES.
      ISRAEL SAW FIRST HAND MORE MIRACLES THAN ANYONE BUT THEY CHOSE TO REJECT GOD AND BUILD A GOLDEN CALF!!!! THE ENTIRE OLD TESTAMENT IS A REPITITIOUS SLAUGTER OF REBELLIOUS ISRAEL, LEADING UP TO GOD PUTTING HER AWAY AND INVITING WHOSOEVER WILL TO THE WEDDING. YOU SHOULD READ AND STUDY INSTEAD OF PARROTING RELIGIOUS INACCURACIES. “STUDY TO SHOW THYSELF APPROVED UNTO GOD, A WORKMAN THAT NEED NOT BE ASHAMED, RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH. If you diligently study your bible you will never be led astray by those who don’t and only parrot snack fragments out of context. In HIS SERVICE….RVY

    Jesus beautiful words in Matthew 23::37-39…… are so powerful! He says “until”….
    Zechariah 12:10
    “They will look at me , the One they have pierced, and they will mourn for him!”

    Romans 11 is absolutely clear beyond a doubt!

    Our feeling are just feelings BUT GOD’s WORD IS TRUTH!

    um hello friend/ trolling? I am shocked at the hostility to the Chosen People the Jews! do you not know we pray for them. And the current Jews are descendants but THEY did not say that themselves! just like Germans today may have Nazi ancestors But they are not Nazi’s!! these people have come from all nations! too trip of aysla or however you spell it..Lord please reveal to dear Reverand that Jesus died once for all time fo All people!! even the Jews , even those sins of misconceptions of Replacement Theory = totally wrong and for those too who twist the scriptures saying the church replaced the eternal promises to the Jews. They were scattered to all nations and so you will find religious Jews ( dna testing proved it you should listen to Johnathan Burnis Jewish Voice! he’s extensively studied this has books on it the people still practice traditional Judaism! many were able to travel back to Israel. Replacement theology and also saying the Israel Jews are illigitanent Jews is Totally and completely wrong. Sad a day to celebrate a great fulfilling of scripture and Israel’s Birthday and you are giving us hate speech? really?? have no not learned from the past? if we bless Israel = the Jews we are blessed and if curse the Israel/ Jews it does not matter Who you are= God is not with those who curse His beloved Apple of His eye. Please consider repenting for teaching heracy cuz The Lord does not kid around Dear Sir I will pray for you

      Hello Jill, Sadly you are quite ignorant of Scripture. You should spend more time in the Bible and less time in non biblical paper back books and you wouldn’t be falsely accusing me of heresy! The Bible says what is says. You can believe it or twist it into a false gospel. We are a country that has institutionalized infanticide and Sodomy, among other abominations and we an the world are currently being judged for it. Anyone who accepts Jesus’s finished work on the cross and believes it and lives it are saved regardless of useless genealogies . Those who reject HIM are not. Read your Bible every day and you will grow in the Lord and maybe you will think better of being a false accuser of the Brethren

      Well said Jill, thanks so much for speaking truth in love to this man who should know better than to lead others astray. Praying he repents, celebrates The feast of Dedication this year presenting himself a living sacrifice, for cleansing and restoration, because The King of the Jews, God’s Messiah, a virgin girl’s son, The Son of The Living God was sacrifice for all who believe, Jews first and gentiles…we owe so much to the Jewish people. God forgive him for twisted, thoughtless, loveless words and restore this man. Because of Your Blood.

      This is an excellent book! Even so we should always look at any book holding it accountable to scriptures and not allow extra biblical books to supersede the Scripture. Sadly many of these folks don’t know their Bibles and only parrot nonsense out of context. JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY are as incompatible as gasoline and milk. Sadly you can’t relate 50 years of studying the Bible to these “bloggers”. Whether we are Jew or Greek, we are all one in Christ Jesus. You can’t be a practitioner of Talmudic Judaism and be saved by your racial heritage. Jesus said they are of their father the devil a murderer from the beginning. You can’t be an anti Christ and Claim salvation by race.
