I would be very careful about observing the Shemitah. There are certain things God ordained for Israel that do not apply to the Church. Replacement theology is dangerous and wrong, the Church is not Israel. I’m not saying things cannot happen on these cycles, but I think a lot of discernment is in order.
Point well taken. I wouldn’t know how to go about OBSERVING the Shemitah if I wanted to. In fact, I am a little leery of current day preachers who say we Christians should be observing the old Hebrew feasts, etc. Well, if we are, how come we’re just now hearing about it? How come it isn’t mentioned in the Epistles?
All I, as a Christian know how to do in the financial realm is to tithe. I have been a tither since shortly after I got saved. I’m only doing what I KNOW to do. Beyond that, if there’s a crash this September, I’ll just stick close to the Lord and trust HIM to see me through.
What are the roots of the Christian church?
Our roots are in Judaism and in Israel. I don’t think it diminishes us to understand and follow God’s directions to his chosen people , as we can
God chose Israel, not America but it is also pretty clear from Biblical prophets that nations derive benefits from supporting Israel and risk calamity if they become her foe or take up arms against her
Which has certainly become our course under this President, talking about the USA even protecting Iranian nuclear weapons from destruction !! Will that earn us favor in the eyes of Gid?
Do you think obama has supported Israel and helped to secure her survival by this deal with Iran ? What might God think esp knowing what the future course of history holds as a result of this month’s “ historic” deal?
