This Thanksgiving, my heart is full of gratitude for family, freedom, and the blessings of life in this great country. And like millions of other Bible-believing Christians, I am also grateful for the eternal promises of God, the miracle of the modern State of Israel, and the sacred bond that unites us with the Jewish people.
With anti-Semitism on the rise, it is important that Christians stand up, speak out and oppose any attempt to separate us from our support of Israel. We cannot write off influencers like Nick Fuentes. The horrors of the Holocaust began with a small group of fiery malcontents who were considered too extreme to be taken seriously. The passive inaction of many, including mainstream Christians, unleashed a wave of human suffering on humanity unparalleled in history. We must never repeat these mistakes.
We are one family, united by faith and bound by God’s unbreakable promises.

They started with the Abrahamic covenant. Through this, God promises Abraham that He will use his offspring (the Jews), who live in a certain land (Israel), to bring blessings to all nations. In Genesis, God declares to Abraham, “I will make of you a great nation… and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through you.” (Genesis 12:2-3)
This everlasting covenant is the root into which we, as Gentile believers, are graciously grafted. This is not a matter of an “old” versus a “new” covenant, as some wrongly believe. God doesn’t lie; He doesn’t change his mind. The Abrahamic covenant is eternal, living, and active, directing the course of history and shaping the destiny of nations, including our own.

The Apostle Paul affirms, “For I tell you that Christ became a minister to the Jews on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed, and that the Gentiles might glorify God because of His mercy.” (Romans 15:8-9)
We know that this covenant lives on because God has proven it with His miracles.

CHRISTOPHER RUFO: THE POLITICAL RIGHT AND THE ANTISEMITIC INFLUENCER PROBLEM
After centuries of exile and persecution, the Jewish people returned to their ancestral homeland, fulfilling the words of the prophets. God declared (Ezekiel 36:24), “I will gather you from all countries and bring you back to your own land.” And on May 14, 1948, Israel was reborn as a nation, a moment that Isaiah foresaw when he asked, “Can a nation be born in one day or can a nation be brought forth in a moment?” (Isaiah 66:8)
Israel’s return, survival and prosperity are nothing short of miraculous. Attacked by multiple enemies, multiple armies, on multiple fronts in 1948, 1967, 1973 and since October 7, 2023, Israel’s modern victories are reminiscent of those of Joshua and the Maccabees. Every military triumph, every city rebuilt, every baby born, every medical, agricultural, and technological innovation is a testament to God’s faithfulness and the enduring power of His covenant.
As Americans, we share a unique and sacred bond with Israel. Our nation is founded on biblical principles, and our story is interwoven with the story of God’s chosen people. For Christians, supporting Israel is not just a political position, it is a spiritual calling.

The prophets foresaw a time when Gentile nations would help bring the Jewish people home and support their recovery. “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Behold, I will beckon the nations, I will lift up my standard before the peoples; they shall take your sons in their arms, and bear your daughters on their hips.” (Isaiah 49:22)
We live in those days.
Standing with Israel means standing with God’s promises and honoring the roots of our own faith. Anti-Semitism is not just an attack on Jews. It is an attack on the foundation of our Christian identity.

Those who try to drive a wedge between Christians and Israel – by using politics, misinformation or misleading theology – are on the wrong path. We must speak out and resist these efforts with courage and conviction. As Bible-believing Christians, may we always affirm God’s promises, always be grateful and not be afraid to stand behind His truth.
