Special Topic: Israel/Hamas and the Last Days
Chris Hefner
Theological Perspectives:
Dispensationalism
Covenant Theology
We should recognize the inordinate influence of Israel as a people upon the world and culture.
Because of God’s promises to Israel and protection of Israel, the enemies of God and of his people have targeted and attacked Israel over and over again.
For a proper NT understanding of Israel, we need to remember the purpose for which God chose Israel—to represent him to the world.
Theological Takeaway: Don’t interpret Scripture through your theological lens, let Scripture interpret your theology.
Political Takeaway: As God’s people today, we ought to care for the devastated regardless of nationality/creed. We need not feel bound to approve of Israel, nationally/politically in all her endeavors to have a proper perspective historically/nationally/theologically of Israel as God’s people.
Prayer Takeaway: Pray for peace (the shalom of God) for all the peoples of the world. See Psalm 122:6
