This post discusses the implications of Genesis 12:3 regarding the relationship between the United States and Israel, particularly in the context of recent conflicts involving Israel. I question whether the passage is a biblical command that believers to bless the modern nation state of Israel. I also explore the concept of covenant as it relates to this blessings and curses provision of the Abrahamic Covenant.

• Covenant Significance: We look at the importance of the covenant established between Yah and Avraham, which extends to his descendants, influencing how nations interact with Israel.  
• Interpretation of Genesis 12:3: I argue that Genesis 12:3 is a prescription rather than a command, suggesting it reflects a reality of blessings for those who support Israel and curses for those who oppose the covenant relationship that exists between Abba Yah and Israel.  
• Modern Political Context: I seek to highlight the divided opinions in the U.S. regarding support for Israel, particularly in light of recent statements from political figures referencing biblical support for Israel.  
• Broader Implications: The blessings and curses mentioned in the covenant are seen as applicable not only to Israel but to all who enter a covenant relationship with Yah, emphasizing the need for obedience to Yah’s Torah.  
• Covenant Relationship with Yah: I stress that the covenant relationship is pivotal for understanding the dynamics of blessings and curses, which are tied to how individuals and nations treat Israel.
• Conclusion on Support for Israel: Ultimately, I conclude that support for Israel should be aligned with the principles of Yah’s Torah and the teachings and example of Yeshua Messiah and reflect a genuine love for His chosen people as expressed in His covenant relationship with them, rather than blind political allegiance.
