Hey to all my Friday Follies Friends!

You are the best, and I hope you’re enjoying all this beautiful weather and experiencing the very best in life – especially great health, enough wealth to supply your every wish and need, and a heart full of love and happiness. Our prayers are with those of you who were adversely affected by the severe storms in the midwest, and we hope you are getting things back together and your sense of security has returned.

I’m so concerned about the people protesting against Israel.  They must not know what the BIBLE says about God’s chosen people and that our actions matter….

-Genesis 12:3 says, “And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee:  and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”  This verse talks about the divine promise to bless those who support Israel and to bring curses on those who oppose it.

-In Revelations, God promises to protect the nation of Israel.  Nations that support Israel will receive blessings, and those that harm or despise Israel will face God’s wrath.

-Ezekiel 25 demonstrates that God punishes anti-Semitism and anti-Judaism, and simply claiming that Israel lacks a special relationship with God can lead to punishment.

-Numbers 24:9 reinforces the idea that those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed.

-In Zechariah 2:8 the Lord refers to Israel as the “apple of His eye,” and Zechariah 12:9 says “And on that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem,” and Malachi 3:6 says “I the Lord do not change.”

-Exodus 23 says if Israel obeys Him, He will be an enemy to their enemies and an adversary to their adversaries.

– Amos 9:14-15 says “I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine, and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit.  I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be uprooted out of the land that I have given them,” says the Lord your God.

-Isaiah 60:12 reads, “For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; those nations shall be utterly laid to waste.”

-Deuteronomy 7:6-8 states, “For you are a people holy to the Lord your God Who has chosen you to be a people for His treasured possession, out of all the people who are on the face of the earth.  It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set His love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples, but it is because the Lord loves you and is keeping the oath that He swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh King of Egypt.”

Because I want you to be well informed, I hope you can see from these scriptures how much God loves Israel and how serious anti-Semitism really is.

Okay, Guys, have a great weekend and a fabulous summer.  Love everybody and stay safe.  Be the wonderful example that I know you are.  Think peace and pray for our nation.

See Ya!

Love,

Donna

P.S.  I finally finished the novel.  I’m waiting on it to be typed.
