Teaching Letter

Do not be deceived, Israel supports us.

Do not boast over those branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. (Roman 11:18)

Now, the number of Christians who love Israel and stands with them increases.

There are many reasons to help Israel. Some people would think like this way; "They are week and have difficult time because of receive critisim from all over the world. That is why they need help."

It is not wrong. but our motivations should not only like that. Instead, Bible says opposit thing.

Roman 11:18 says "Israel supports us." This worlds is available even today.

This truth opens our eyes and give us understanding what we have to do.

Women called Naomi and Ruth appeared in the book of Ruth. Naomi is a type of Israel and Ruth a type of a gentile church. Naomi was not able to work because of her old age so she was taken care of by Ruth. But actually Ruth would not have been able to enter the promise land nor reap the harvest nor get married with Boaz without Naomi.

This Boaz is a type of Jesus Christ and a source of our salvation.

Beside that, Ruth 4:16 says " Naomi cared for him." According the original word, caring does not mean raising up, but that means giving her breast.

Did you know that Israel cares for us even today? Bible says Israel is not the race that get down with out gentile's supports, but cares for us spiritually.

In fact, Israel has given us the Bible, Prophets and Jesus Christ to us. We sould be greatful for it and give back to them material things.

(Roman 15:27) "For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews' spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings."

This verse is beautiful for those who have desire to bless Israel.

But, even their eyes have been opened, some people misunderstand that role of Israel is until churches form, or the Bible is completed. They understand Israel as Nomi who is old and a widow.

There are two daughters-in-law of Naomi, Orpha and Ruth. Name of Orpha means "back of neck-turn back," and Ruth means "friend."

These two daughers-in-law had been tested in difficult time. They are model of two different kind of chruches. One of them is that love Israel and stand with them in any difficult situations, and the another one is turn their back.

@In fact, people who stand with Israel today, might go through some difficutl time. But if we give up and leave like Orpha did, our conditions will get worse.

Ruth 1:15 says that Orpha went back to his own people and his god. That shows that unless we stand up with Israel, we may lose faith and turn against the Lord.

@

It was at the beginning of barley harvest.(Ruth 1:22) that Ruth and Naomi arrived in the land of Judah. That means the harves of the last days which is revival.

Here the Jews and the gentiles get united literally and reap the harvest of the last days.

God has been preparing for a great harvest in this last days. One of the important keys to this great harves is to bless Israel.
