Jeremiah recorded that some said, “The Lord chose Israel and then abandoned them.” They sneered and said that Israel is not worthy to be called a nation (Jer 33:23-24). It was Israel’s pagan neighbors who derided her at that time, but sad to say, today it is her sister, the church. The church has historically been anti-Semitic. There are those in the church today who teach that Israel has been abandoned. The Lord said, “I will never abandon Jacob’s descendants or change the plan that David’s descendants will rule the descendants of Abraham… Instead, I will restore them to their land and have mercy on them.” (Jer 33:26) Don’t count Israel out. The gifts and calling of God are irrevocable (Rom 11:29).
