Amazingly the Church of Scotland has published a paper saying there is no basis in Scripture for the Jewish people to claim the land of Israel. This bewildering viewpoint is explained more in this news article – Scottish church says Jews have no scriptural claim to Holy Land.
In fact, Scripture says the exact opposite, which we have covered in our Has the Church replaced Israel? article. Israel is the focal point for future prophecy and we can see events rapidly escalating in the Middle East in line with Scripture. Our churches should be firmly standing by Israel and the Jewish people and praying for them regularly as Scripture instructs us:
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. (Psalm 122:6-7)
