"Heb 8:10 "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people."
THANKYOU SISTER!

The State of Israel is a valuable ally and friend to the US and the rest of the Free World against Radical Islam, and I wish them well.
My reading of Hebrews 8 clearly places the new covenant sometime in the future: it does not yet exist now, and the State of Israel does not yet embrace it.
Israel does not yet recognize their Messiah. They killed Him 2000 years ago, and have not owned up to this crime.
So, as a Christian I cannot, in any honesty, pray for to God thru Jesus (my Savior and their spurned Messiah) for Divine Intervention on behalf of Israel until such time as they do.
Ask 'em: if Jesus returns to Earth tomorrow, whose side are you on? Ask yourself: it's a binary question.
I can and do wish the State of Israel well -- tho' I wish they'd use Diplomacy a bit more often than they use Reprisal. And I'll thank them to never again send Mossad spies into New Zealand to identity-theft Passports off our invalid citizens, as they have tried to do.
But pray for the intervention of the Almighty on their behalf? Can't. Not until they change their attitude.
