The New Testament calls believers to pray for Israel, recognizing its unique role in God’s covenantal and eschatological plan. Praying for Israel aligns the Church with God’s will, anticipates Christ’s return, and demonstrates obedience to His Word.
The parable of the prodigal son goes beyond a personal lesson on forgiveness; it reveals Israel’s estrangement from God and their eventual restoration during the millennial kingdom. This parable illustrates God’s faithfulness to His covenant promises and challenges the church to recognize and embrace Israel’s future redemption.
