6 Reasons with Scriptures:
1. Because God is a “Zionist” and Therefore We Must Be Zionists Too!
Zionism: a movement for (originally) the re-establishment and (now) the development and protection of a Jewish nation in what is now Israel. It was established as a political organization in 1897 under Theodor Herzl, and was later led by Chaim Weizmann. The name Zion for Israel is from the Holy Bible.
Isaiah 62:1, 6-7 (KJV)
1For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
6I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, 7And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
2. Because God Blesses Those Who Bless Israel & Curses Those Who Curse Israel/The Jews!
Genesis 12:3 (see 12:1-7) (KJV) Also: Gen. 27:29; Num. 24:9
3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
3. Because From The Jews We’ve Received the Word of God—The Holy Bible!
Romans 3:1-2 (NKJV)
1What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? 2Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God.
4. Because Our Lord & Savior is Jewish!
5. Because the Gospel which Saves Us is for the Jew First, and Also for the Gentile!
Jeremiah 31:31-34 (NKJV)
31“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—32not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, £though I was a husband to them, says the Lord. 33But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”
Romans 1:16-17 (NKJV)
16For I am not ashamed of the gospel £of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
6. Because Lord Jesus Shall Judge All Nations By How They Treated Israel/The Jews!
Joel 3:1-2 (NKJV) Also: Zech. 12:1-10; Matt. 25:31-46
1“For behold, in those days and at that time, When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, 2I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land.
