“Write the Vision” (Habakkuk 2:2,3) and tell them:


“And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, ‘Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth? Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord God; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel. For I am the Lord: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord God.’ “Again the word of the Lord came to me saying, ‘Son of man, behold they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off. Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord God.’ ” (Ezekiel 12:21-28)

THE PROMISES ... Also Unto the Gentiles (Leviticus 19:33, 34)


For the prophets foretold that the Gentiles (Isaiah 55:5) would also call upon G-d and they too would serve him (Zephaniah 3:9) and he would answer their prayers (Isaiah 65:24) and he would save them (Isaiah 52:10) and set them in the land! (Isaiah 14:1) For it is also written:

“Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants, every one that keepeth the Sabbath and does not profane it, and all that hold fast to my covenant. Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.” (Isaiah 56:6-7)

A NEW COVENANT PEOPLE ... (Jeremiah 31:31-34)


For G-d has promised that not only would He honor his First Covenant and would cause the Jews to return (Jeremiah 33:14-26), but that one day He would also make a New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:33-34) and (in Hosea 2:23) He said: “ ... And I will say to them that were not my people, Thou art my people!” And they shall say, “you are my God” and they will help restore the Nation of Israel and many people would come to the Land of Israel to seek the G-d of Israel (Zechariah 8:20-23) (Isaiah 65:1) and these strangers who dwelt among the people of Israel would also share in the promised inheritance (Ezekiel 47:21-23) and .…. ”the stranger that dwells with you shall be to you as one born among you.” (Leviticus 19:34) For G-d’s promise to Abraham was, “and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed”. (Genesis 22:18)

So, now we a new covenant people (Deuteronomy 29:12-15) have came to the land of Israel to claim our promised inheritance and to receive the blessings of Abraham. (Galatians 3:6-14). For it is also written, “... is He the God of the Jews only? Is HE not the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also,” (Romans 3:29-30) for G-d hath not cast away HIS people which HE foreknew. “For if their [the Jewish people] being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?” (Romans 11:1-24) Because, “that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel will be saved.” (Romans 11:24-36) Therefore:

As a Christian, one must recognize that it is written “... if [we] the Gentiles have been made partakers of their [Israel’s] spiritual things, their [Gentiles’] duty is also to minister to them [Israel] in material things.” (Romans 15:27) Because “the G-d of heaven He will prosper us [Zion]” (Nehemiah 2:20) with the oil of Israel ... so that we a new covenant people of Zion will minister and assist “Israel in their petroleum and material needs.” Because, as touching the election, “they [the Jewish People] are beloved for the sake of the fathers.” (Romans 11:28) And, when they do turn to the Lord, the veil on their hearts will be taken away. (2 Corinthians 3:14-16)
