Or, Pray for the Conversion of Israel "Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for Salvation is of the Jews" " (John 4:22). by Tom Stewart Preface We, the Church, are bondservants of the LORD Jesus Christ, "Who gave Himself a ransom for '''all"''' (1Timothy 2:6), and we owe the Gospel to all men-- "to the Jew first, and also to the Greek" (Romans 1:16). But, especially do we owe the Gospel to Israel, for they transmitted to us Jehovah's "Covenants of Promise" (Ephesians 2:12)-- "unto them were committed the Oracles of God [the Scriptures]" (Romans 3:2)-- that pointed us to Jesus Christ. Israel will soon be converted to Jesus the Messiah, Who is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem" (Psalm 122:6). Pray that the LORD will fulfil His Word that Israel will again '''know''' Him, i.e., "thou shalt know that I am the LORD" (Isaiah 49:23). "22 Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up Mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up My standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. 23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the Earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for '''they shall not be ashamed that wait for Me"''' (Isaiah 49:22-23).
