Jentezen Franklin Daily Devotional (June 22, 2025) We Stand With Israel.
“Salvation is of the Jews.” John 4:22 (KJV)
Take a moment today and think about this: you are living in prophetic days. We are not just watching headlines. We are watching the Word of God come alive. One of the clearest signs is that God is once again spotlighting the nation of Israel.
You might be wondering, why should that matter to me? Here is why: because your faith is deeply connected to that tiny piece of land and those people God chose. Israel is not just history. Israel is prophecy. It is promise. It is covenant. And covenant is something God takes seriously.
In First Chronicles 17:21, David said, “Who is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom God went to redeem for himself?” God hand-picked them. Not because they were mighty or perfect. But because He had a plan. He said, I will make this nation a picture of my faithfulness. And through them, I will bring the Messiah - Jesus Christ.
You are part of that story. When God told Abraham his descendants would be like the stars and the sand, He was not just talking about Israel’s borders. He was talking about spiritual sons and daughters - people like you - grafted into the covenant through Jesus. That means every promise God made to Israel reflects a truth for you. Just like He called them a kingdom of priests and a holy nation in Exodus 19:6, He now calls you the same under the new covenant. You are part of something ancient, eternal, and holy.
And that is why you stand with Israel. Not out of politics, but out of purpose. You understand the debt we owe. No Jews, no Jesus. No Israel, no salvation. Every blessing in your life - your peace, your healing, and your hope for eternity flows from that covenant God made long ago. So do not stay silent.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Stand boldly with the people through whom God brought salvation to the world.
When you honor Israel, you honor the covenant. And when you honor the covenant, you step deeper into your calling. You are not just watching prophecy. You are living in it.
