And I will bless them that bless thee
Not the priests only that should bless his children, the children of Israel, as the Targum of Jonathan, but all men of all nations, and of every age, that speak well of him, commend him for his faith and holiness, and tread in his steps, these are blessed with faithful Abraham, ( Galatians 3:7 Galatians 3:9 ) .
And curse him that curseth thee;
here is a change of numbers, before the plural, here the singular, denoting, it may be, that many would bless him, and but few curse him, and that every individual person that did curse him should be cursed himself: the Targum of Jonathan wrongly restrains this to Balaam's cursing Abraham's children, and was cursed by God; Maimonides F25 thinks, there is no doubt to be made of it, that the Zabaeans, the idolatrous people Abram was brought up with, when he contradicted them, loaded him with curses and reproaches; and, because he bore them all patiently for the glory of God, as became him, therefore these words are said; but they, without question, respect future as well as present times, and regard all such, in every age and of every nation, that disapproves of, or rejects and reproaches Abram's God, his faith, his religion, and his people.
And in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed;
that is, in his seed, as in ( Genesis 22:18 ) and which is interpreted of Christ, ( Acts 3:25 ) ( Galatians 3:8 Galatians 3:16 ) meaning not every individual of all the families or nations of the earth; but that as many as believe in Christ, of all nations, are blessed in him; and that whoever of them are blessed, they are blessed and only blessed in him, and that they are blessed for his sake with all spiritual blessings; see ( Ephesians 1:3 ) such as redemption, justification, remission of sins, sanctification, adoption, and eternal life.

Satan's hatred of Israel revealed: He knows the promised Kingdom will come through the Jewish people. By attacking Israel, he attempts to prevent his own defeat and maintain his rule over Earth. But God's promises cannot be thwarted. Genesis 12:3 stands firm.
If you've ever been confused by polls, labels, or headlines about Evangelicals and Israel, this episode brings much-needed clarity. In this eye-opening Out of Zion podcast episode, Dr. Susan Michael clears up the misunderstood term “Evangelical.” Are all born-again Christians evangelicals? Do evangelicals all believe the same things? And why do many evangelicals strongly support Israel while others do not? Susan breaks down the crucial differences between faith experience and belief systems, explores the divide between Pentecostal and non-Pentecostal Evangelicals, and explains how theology—especially views about God’s promises to Israel—shapes Christian support for Israel today.
It is so important that Christians Vote in this election because of our responsibility as stewards of the nation God has given us. We should not vote on personality but on policy. Not to vote is a vote for the other side. America has been one of Israel's consistent and staunchest supporters, but more recently has increasingly changed it's support. How important is this issue not only for Israel but for America, and where do the 2024 Presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, really stand on this issue? Hear their positions in their own words. The plumbline on all issues is the Bible, which is full of what God says about nations regarding Israel. For instance, "Behold, all who are incensed against you shall be put to shame and confounded; those who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish. You shall seek those who contend with you, but you shall not find them; those who war against you shall be as nothing at all." Isaiah 41:11-12. Special Music: by Ted Pearce, "The Forgotten People"
