Christian history towards the Jewish people has been one of misunderstanding and ignorance. It led to shameful anti-Semitism that resulted in pogroms, expulsions, massacres, and other actions in the name of Christianity. In recent decades evangelical Christianity has recognised the Church’s responsibility to bless Israel (Genesis 15) to comfort her Isaiah 40:1 and repay the debt of gratitude we owe Romans 15:26–27.

Israel and the church have a mixed and at times saddening history. Many churches unfortunately teach a ‘Replacement Theology’ doctrine. Teri Kempe discusses the dangers of this, and a way forward for Australian churches.

Why should Christians support Israel? Here are 10 reasons why the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem was established in 1980 to stand with and comfort Israel.
Are we in the days the early Apostles longed to see, when God would restore the kingdom to Israel? And how should the Church relate to this new situation?
One of the sad outcomes of history is that antisemitism has not just survived in the post-Holocaust era, it has thrived. One would have thought that when the depravities of the Nazi genocide against the Jews of Europe were exposed after World War II, such vile hatred would have disappeared. Alas, it has come back in waves and without any shame.
