God's Promise to Abraham in Genesis 12:3 is Misinterpreted by Zionists to Promote Genocide

Today I just heard that the Israeli government is planning to dislocate ALL 2.3 Million Palestinians from Gaza Strip! How horrible! And American evangelicals such as John Hagee support that?! I believe he and his Christian Coalition of America are complicit in the murder of thousands of innocent Palestinians, some of whom are Christians!

It all starts with the false interpretation of Genesis 12:3 which is based on John Nelson Darby’s dispensationalism.

Genesis 12:3 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.

This is what John Hagee says about that Scripture:

The Bible states quite clearly, “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you” (Genesis 12:3). Entire books could be written on how that blessing and cursing have dramatically impacted human history. It is an undeniable fact that the man or nation that has blessed Israel has been blessed of God, and to the man or nation that has cursed Israel the judgement of God came in spades.

Evangelical authors Tim LaHaye and Ed Hindson, in their 2015 work, Target Israel, express their view that:

We believe that the spiritual, moral, and economic decline of Great Britain is largely due to the influence of secularists who exert a lot of control over the educational system, state church, and media. And the government has failed to stand up for Israel when there were opportunities to do so – thereby rejecting God’s blessing upon their nation. We pray that the United States will not follow in these footsteps. If it does, then in light of God’s promise in Genesis 12:3, we can expect to see a drastic decline in the quality of life in America.

The ironic thing is in spite of America’s support of the State of Israel, the quality of life in America has significantly declined! Crime is higher, morality has declined, and so-called natural disasters such as floods and destruction by tornadoes and hurricanes have increased. Is God blessing America for its support of Israel? I think God may be cursing America for its tolerance of sin and its support of an ungodly anti-Christ nation.

The mainstream media falsely blames climate change which they say is caused by man as the reason for natural disasters. My opinion is these disasters are the result of God’s judgments on America’s fallen spiritual state. When I was a kid in the 1950s, the weather was not nearly as extreme and there weren’t many wild fires. There were no indiscriminate mass shootings. Abortion was illegal. Crime was much lower. There was no promotion of same-sex marriage, the LGBTQ agenda, and other unbiblical issues that the American government gives priority today to promote rather than fixing the nation’s problems!

Does God’s promise to those who bless or curse Abraham apply to physical Israel today? The promise was to Abraham and his seed – singular.

Galatians 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

What Joseph Benson (26 January 1749 – 16 February 1821) an early English Methodist minister has to say:

Genesis 12:3. In thee shall all families of the earth be blessed — This promise crowned all the rest; for it pointed at the Messiah, “in whom all the promises are yea and amen.”

True Israel has always been in Christ:

Galatians 3:7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

And who are they which be of faith?

Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

How much clearer can that be? Those who ignore what the Apostle Paul wrote and who claim the people of God are also those who call themselves Jews and Israel though they reject Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah are wrongly dividing the Word of truth. They are either intentional deceivers or are themselves deceived due to listening more to their Bible teacher than to what the Bible teaches.

If you do not agree with my conclusions in this Bible study, remember what John the Baptist said to the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Matthew 3:7 ¶But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
