Hi Aaron,Thanks for the kind words. I think your explanation is right on. God’s character does not change so it makes perfect sense that God rewards those who are faithful to Him. The Jews went through 70 years of captivity and then God blessed them by bringing them back to their land. We also go through trials and He will reward those who trust in Him.In many of these cases, there are definitely principles that can be carried over and applied to the church, but the particular promises were made to and for Israel. |
