The Patience & Tender Mercies of The Lord

Israeli Husbandmen

The Lord spoke very succinctly to my heart this morning in regards to Israel.

James 5:7-11
7.Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

He made me to know without a doubt that He is going to rain His Spirit out upon all Israel … until His precious fruit is produced in Her.

8. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

9. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.

He stressed to me that we should not be resentful or arrogant against Israel, or entertain any thought that God has forsaken her, because He has not.

10. Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

He reminded me how Israel has suffered much as a people and a nation because of her rejection of Yeshua/Jesus, yet God has not allowed her to be obliterated. He has had His hand upon her and kept her and will keep her unto salvation in Yeshua/Jesus Christ.

11. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

When Jesus said that He was not willing that any should perish that includes His people the Jews.
When we gentiles, in the natural, adopt a child, yet have natural children as well, we do not forsake the natural children, in place of the adopted ones, and vice- verse. We do not favor the natural over the adopted we treat both the same, we love both with the same love. We do not forsake either in the stead of the other.

Look I don’t know about you saints, but the Lord was very pitiful and of tender mercies and great patience while He waited on my salvation. He yet shows great patience and mercy toward me. He even ministered to me and saved me in many of the situations I found my self for years before He saved my soul. He heard many a prayer I prayed as a sinner and answered me and showed mercy. In other words He kept me unto salvation. He is keeping Israel unto salvation also.

He is going to turn the hearts of the Jews to Him, as He turned our hearts to Him my Gentile brothers and sisters.
We need to stop kicking and screaming and resenting and flailing about trying to eradicate Israel from the picture, because that is a futile pursuit. God has His plan and He will complete it and we had best accustom ourselves to it now, instead of acting like jealous siblings.

If you study the nation of Israel, it is only a miracle of God that she exists today. Satan has been allowed to come against her to try to eradicate her, yet God has kept a remnant.

The hatred that is continuously being unleashed against the Jewish nation world wide is an age old battle between the sons of Abraham, between God and Satan, good and evil.
Any Christian who studies about the history of Israel and still denies that there is a divine plan for her, are in denial of the worst kind.

This why I can not grudge against my brothers & sisters of Israel, because God is not done with them. I know with every fiber of my soul that God is preparing to save a remenant in Israel. He is going to do a mighty work in her as He has done with His Gentile children, until we all come to the knowledge of the Truth.

Let us exhibit patience and tender mercies toward one another, and pray for our Jewish brothers & sisters, and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Many of the Muslim Arabs would love to drive her into the sea, but God is Her Deliverer!

Let us also pray for the souls of the Arabs those who are blinded by their own hatred of the Jewish people. God is love and He that loveth not knoweth not God.
