United State of America before had made several attempts and speeches about restoring Israel. Isreal on the other hand had fought several war from inception but the battle seems unending. They enjoyed support from some countries and rebukes from many. The climax happened recently when President Donald Trump in 2017 formally announced relocation of American embassy to Jerusalem with his declaration of Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel. The ultimate expectation of the declaration was echoed by American Evangelical Christian Movement; as rebuilding of Jerusalem Temple in readiness for the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Restoration of Isreal Kingdom is that major to God than restoration of the kingdom of God to all nations?
This same question was asked by Apostle almost immediately after resurrection of Jesus Christ before His ascension. The answer He gave reflect a better prophecy to any Christian body and the true mind of God for humanity. When men are eager to use authority to subdue nations and invoke prophecy made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God's is more concern with something else of more eternal value. The events that will provoke the restoration is what He desire will concentrate our efforts on.
The apostles were all together. They asked Jesus, “Lord, is this the time for you to give the people of Israel their kingdom again?” Jesus said to them, “The Father is the only one who has the authority to decide dates and times. They are not for you to know. But the Holy Spirit will come on you and give you power. You will be my witnesses. You will tell people everywhere about me—in Jerusalem, in the rest of Judea, in Samaria, and in every part of the world.”
Acts 1:6-8 ERV
Jesus declared to His discipline, just as it also affect us today. Why worry about time and season? Why usurping the power of God on matter which only Him has sole authority? Why creating unrest and war in the nations of the earth?
The truth that Jesus established was simplicity of the mind of God as touching the kingdom. Concentrate your efforts on spiritual empowerment for the purpose of restoring God's kingdom. The propagation of the Gospel of salvation to Jerusalem (your nation), Judaea (friendly nations), Samaria (acclaimed enemy nations) and the whole part of the world. What a better focus for Christian all over the world.
Jesus is saying to the world today go and make disciples of all nations . No Jews nor Gentiles, No free nor slave, no black nor white. One fold, one nation, one baptism, one Lord and father of all. We are all heirs of God and joint heir with our Lord Jesus Christ. When someone talked about his superiority to other because she belong to America, Isreal, white and not black, I laugh because such person never understood his real identity like Apostle Paul who declared himself a citizen of no mean city. What was he talking about, He simply said as people under heaven in the dispensation of grace, your only have claim to one of the only two abode made by God. Heaven or Hell. The choice of heaven turn you to a passionate lover of all nations because your concern will be for the redemption of mankind from Hell. Remember again God's priority; harvest of souls of all men and not their destruction.
What shall we say then, has God forgotten His promise to Israel?
The Jews refuse to accept the Good News, so they are God’s enemies. This has happened to help you who are not Jews. But they are still God’s chosen people, and he loves them because of the promises he made to their ancestors. God never changes his mind about the people he calls. He never decides to take back the blessings he has given them. At one time you refused to obey God. But now you have received mercy, because the Jews refused to obey. And now they are the ones who refuse to obey, because God showed mercy to you. But this happened so that they can also receive mercy from him. All people have refused to obey God. And he has put them all together as people who don’t obey him so that he can show mercy to everyone.
Rom. 11:28-32 ERV
Here again come better understanding of the will of God concerning Israel and nations of the world. Israel is God's firstborn and that will remain forever. But alas; can a good father abandon his other children only to nurture the first or can he cancel all his promises to the firstborn because of others? As the scripture put it, if ye who are evil will do no such. How do you expect such from the Father of all Mercy. Isreal surely will be restored to their kingdom. The kingdom God will restore to Israel is not just the rebuild of the Temple in Jerusalem but most importantly the kingdom of His son Jesus Christ. This will only happen after all tribes and tongues have received the message of salvation.
Brethren, will God restore Israel kingdom? Yes. But how and when? When all Christian acknowledge one nationality in the bound of the Holy Spirit and storm the four corners of the world for harvest of ripe field of saints still in chain of the Devil in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, America and finally restoration of kingdom of God to Israel the firstborn; their promised spiritual heritage. Always remember the covenant of grace, no better breed of human creature, we are one body in Christ.
