Jim Bakker Show - Blessed Are Those Who Bless Israel - Dr Jim Garlow on The Jim Bakker Show Aired: 2018-10-23 Duration: 01:47 === Israel's Unique Role (01:46) === [00:00:00] Israel is key three. [00:00:02] Why is Israel key three? [00:00:06] Well, it's God's choice. [00:00:08] It's God's nation. [00:00:09] There's almost 200 countries in the world, but there is one that is unique in its role above all else. [00:00:15] And we are going to be blessed to the same extent we bless Israel. [00:00:18] We're going to be cursed to the same extent we curse Israel. [00:00:22] And so as David and I wrote the book, we saw very quickly that one of the major factors that brings blessing on this nation is the fact of our blessing Israel. [00:00:33] Now, the good news is the president has moved the ball down the court a long way on this issue. [00:00:39] We were privileged to attend the embassy opening in Jerusalem. [00:00:44] And my wife's been there 66 times, so this is cool news for her to be there. [00:00:49] But the people were literally giddy and dancing in the streets. [00:00:54] And we were privileged to, a dozen of us, meet in a private meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu on the closing of that. [00:01:02] And he is encouraging us. [00:01:04] Some of us serve on what has been called the Trump Faith Advisory Board. [00:01:08] It now has a new name at this point in time. [00:01:10] We don't represent the president. [00:01:12] We're not sent by the president. [00:01:13] We want to use whatever leverage we can as faith leaders to encourage nations to become not goat nations, but sheep nations and move their embassy to Jerusalem. [00:01:25] The United States obviously did. [00:01:27] Guatemala followed, and Guatemala was the second country 70 years ago that affirmed Israel's existence right after Harry Truman did in 1948. [00:01:36] So they followed again courageously. [00:01:38] President Jimmy Morales, a courageous man, and he's taken tremendous heat. [00:01:42] Paraguay did, and then moved it back to Tel Aviv, unfortunately.
