A Betrayal of Biblical Proportions?

"I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."  – Genesis 12:3  (The New King James)

In the context of this verse, God has commanded Abram to leave the land of his birth, promising to create a great nation through him, which we now know to be Israel.  As the passage continues, we learn of another promise God made.  And it is this promise that is the focus of the Brand New Day today.

There is only one way to interpret Genesis 12:3. God blesses the people (plural) who bless Abraham and his descendants (Israel), and will curse the person (singular) who cursed Abraham or his descendants, and the world would be blessed by the His people (the Jewish) people.

We learn in the Old Testament, of God's many rewards for obedience, and His severe punishments for disobedience. God's truth is His truth.  What was true 5000 years ago is true today. And for our announced betrayal today of Abraham's descendants, may God show mercy upon our country.
