Don’t praise the Israelites but praise God as even today Israelites continue to profane the name of God and yet God continue to bless them and preserve them and bless them. That day will come in Tribulation and the Great Tribulation when Israel will once and for all be ‘cleansed’ to be prepared for the Millennium Kingdom. Only then, Israel will enter the ‘rest’ and live securely…Ezekiel 38. Yes, see the greatness of God beyond Israel. It was God’s plan that Israel be a beacon of hope and as an example to other nations but it has clearly failed disastrously. See the mercy and grace and love prevail and ALL praise goes to God. As for Israel, the more is given the more is expected therefore a third of them will be the remnants to receive the salvation of God…Zechariah 14. This required an overwhelming and overflowing of God’s grace to restore Israel for the atrocities they committed without repentance for the last 3000 years. Indeed God did it for His name sake.

The Church – both Roman Catholic and the Protestant Churches have failed The Lord God of Israel in the Holy Scriptures! How? Isaiah 42-53! We missed 42:1, God’s Servant Son Identified; 42:16, God’s Triune Nature clearly Shown as Three Persons in One Righteous Holy God and 49:3 Where The Father put His Name on His Servant Son in Whom He Glories! The Father has a Namesake – Name’s Sake – Both Father & Son are ONE NAME AND THAT NAME IS ISRAEL!!! There is No Name Higher for El Shaddai (Almighty God) than Israel!
Come O Come Righteous Son Israel
