Supporting the Nation is Different from Approving of all it Does

No born-again believer would want to participate in building a temple that will be doing sacrifices when Christ was our only Sacrifice. To do sacrifices in that temple is the same as denying Jesus Christ.

Israel will build a temple and do sacrifices in these end times. Believers should love the nation of Israel enough to bring the gospel and even protect its borders, but should never help build a temple that represents rejecting the sacrifice of Christ for our sin.

There are believers who foolishly think that to love Israel is to approve of everything that nation does. This is not at all what God said to do. Israel came into the land in 1948 in unbelief, and much of what they do dishonors God.

There is a remnant of believers in Israel, as there is in every country of the world. God told us to protect the nation, but He did not tell us to participate in all their rituals associated with the rejection of Christ.

Romans 11:1-36 "I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.” But what is God's reply to him? “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace."

Only What is Done Through the Spirit of Christ will Last

If there is any object associated with worship, then it is an idol. God said we worship in Spirit and in Truth, not by anything we do on the outside or with any object.

Two people can have the same activity exactly, and one will be led by the Holy Spirit to glorify God, and the other led by the flesh to glorify themselves.

John 4:24 " …23 But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth."

2 Corinthians 3:17 "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."

We live in a time when "Christians" want to do things their own way and call it good. They think using God's Word as an add-on to their own will makes them spiritual.

Hebrews 12:28 "Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe."

There is no reverence for God when there is self-will and disregard for God's commands and principles.

Philippians 3:3 "For it is we who are the circumcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh,"

1 John 1:5 "And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all."

When we seek Christ we will not have fleshly ideas that make ourselves feel special for doing them. We will only have great joy that we did what He told us to do and added nothing of ourselves to it.

Only what Christ did through us as we obey will count on judgment day.
