Prayers of repentance needed for what has been done in the past and is being been done now to the Jewish people. All of the issues involve not understanding God’s role for the Jewish people as outlined in His Word.
PRAYER POINTS
- Any role in scattering the Jewish people throughout the centuries. They were expelled from many European cities and nations for centuries before the Holocaust. Even the USA by General Ulysses S. Grant. I have provided the history below.
- Seeking to divide up His Land. (For example, several American presidents have taken a lead role in proposals to divide up what was promised in the Scriptures to the Jews returning from exile. It has been noted that on January 28th, President Trump, who has been a strong friend to Israel, announced a proposal that would divide the Land. The next day, January 29th, he had to announce the establishment of the Corona Virus Task Force.)
- Not recognising God’s Plan for the Jewish people as if they are of no account. This applies to most other nations and to the widespread “replacement theology” in the Church.
- Boycotting the purchase of goods made in Israel.
What other nation has suffered such persecution down through the centuries. Some of it has been God’s judgement as in the Babylonian captivity and 70 AD expulsion by Rome but much has been satanically driven.
