Genesis 12:1-3
Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

God called Abram out of his nomadic family dynamic to go to a new and strange land that the LORD had chosen specifically for Abram to start a new family. Abram had no idea where he was going. He trusted the LORD for all the details.

God promised Abram five things:

1. God promised to make Abram a great and blessed nation. The nation of Israel is the smallest, yet strongest nation on the earth. Israel has the greatest army on earth because they have the Mighty Warrior God as their Commander in Chief, and He never loses a battle.

2. God promised to make association with Abram's name a blessing. The children of Israel, down through the generations, were proud descendants of Abram. They knew their history and that they were who they were because of Abram. Abram's trust in the LORD was counted as righteousness, and because of his Seed, we are saved from the penalty of sin.

3. God promised to bless those who blessed Abram and his descendants. Anyone who was kind to Abram or the children of Israel was always blessed by God. Once upon a time, America was kind to Israel, and we have been blessed by God because of it. As of late, we have turned on Israel, and the judgment of God is coming on us because of it.

4. God promised to curse those who cursed Abram and his descendants. God used Israel's enemies from time to time to bring His wrath on them, but then the enemies would go too far, and God would destroy Israel's enemies. America is in line to be destroyed because of her treatment of the Jewish nation.

5. God promised to bless all the families of the earth who are in Abram. Israel has always been a blessed nation. The Jewish people, though they have suffered much, have always been blessed in ways that other people groups have not. As believers, we enjoy the benefit of being blessed because of Abram's Descendant, the LORD Jesus Christ. Every person who is a believer in Jesus will experience the eternal benefit of spending forever in the presence of the LORD.

All that to say, be careful coming against the Jewish nation. God made a covenant to bless those who are kind to the Jews and to curse those who are cruel to the Jews. We have seen their enemies, in scripture, get their retribution for being unkind to the Jews. Don't let that be you...
