In the second part of the "Why Israel?" series, Burnie Lund provides the clear biblical and historical foundation for Israel's right to exist as God's chosen people. This message directly addresses common questions and misconceptions, affirming that the modern state of Israel is the same as the Israel of the Bible. It details God's unbroken covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, establishing Israel's perpetual right to the land, their supernatural birth and preservation, and the three-fold blessing they brought to all nations. This expositional preaching ultimately makes the case that genuine Christian faith requires a love for the Jewish people.
