Abraham has been used for all sorts of claims and all sorts of of action, but in fact a closer look into Abraham life, shows a different truth about this man, that from the pagan land of Far East, left the moon-gods and the star-gods of the desert of todays Arab world, to meet the Living God of Israel.
We know very well from History, that in the all Middle East and Far East nations, people worship the god of Creation, at a point were even the animals are made holy and somehow worshiped like gods. Nobody knew the God of Revelation that Abraham meet on his "way out" from the Far East to his "way in" to Israel.
leaving behind him all those gods of animals, and stars and the moon -god of today Islamic nations, Abraham meet the God of Revelation, in what would become the Land of Israel. God asked Abraha to "Get out" of the Far East to "enter" the Middle East at the border with the Western World, to meet the ONE God that made the creations and the man, to speak to man and be a friend of mankind.
This way out of the land of the Moon-god and the god of the stars and the animal, ha only ONE intention; make man someone higher than the Creation and give man the ability to meet, see and know God. And this is what happend to Abraham once he left the Far East to reach and arrive in the Near West or has we callet today, the Middle East.
God did make the moon and the stars, but not to worship them, as the Creation of God do not have eyes to see and mouth to speack; only man have been given by God in all creation, this priority. Also animals, cannot spek and cannot relate to God, only mankind; women, children and man can see, know and speak to God.
Abraham therefore is anything, except what muslims tell about him; it's easy to speak about a dead man, without even having ever meet him and tell all sorts of fairytales and jokes. Abraham cannot answer to alla claims of been this or that, this way or that way, therefore to know Abraham we must relay to his Historical way out of the Arabian and Eastern region, toward the Western and Middle East region. And it's right there that we enter in Israel, the land of the Jews.
Abraham today will speak about him leaving the Far East, to make his way to Zion, in Jerusalem.
Oh yes, this is the way to God; get out of the moon-god land of Arabia to enter the Promise Land of Israel; for this reason Abraham is the father of moder Christian-Zionism!
Abraham left the Middle East land of the gods that cannot speak to mankind, to enter the Land where God speaks to a man called Abraham, that will be the father of the families of the world. people that also can speak, know, see and relate to God as a heavenly Father. Abba', a Father of Heaven.
To be Christian and to be Zionist means exactely that; know the ONE and TRUE God, the God of Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, the first family Created by God, and start the families of the world. God spoke to Adam, as he spoke to Noah, Araham, Isacc and Joacob-Israel. God is a God who speaks and relate to man, giving instruction of life and Eternity. This is the Living God of the Jewish people and the Christians. Abraham meet the Living God and from there we can easily say that Christian-Zionism is born!
When Abraham arrived in Canaan, people use to worship the moon, the sun, the stars and the animals, because they did not encounter God, the Master of Creation, and when God Revealed Himself to Abraham, we can say that for the first time man encounter the Boss of the Universe in the Land of Israel. In Abraham times there was no reliogions as such; people just believed in Creation and Nature and all that surrounded him everywhere man was living. So it is totally untrue that modern Islam is an Abrahamitic religion.
Abraham is the Father of Christian-Zionism, the Living God of Israel, that in the midst of human ignorance, wanted to Reveal Himself in Israel.from Abraham-Isaac and Jacob-Israel Zionism made the roots for Human Revelation.
The Torah and the Bible both tells the same story about Abraham:
The Lord had said to Abram, “Go out from your country, (modern IRAQ area) your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.(modern Israel)
“I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.”
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.”
So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran. He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Harran, ( modern Syria region)and they set out for the land of Canaan, (modern Israel) and they arrived there.
6 Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Morehat Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him. Book of Genesis 12,1
As we can see from the Jewish Torah and Christian Bible, that keep the same story of Abraham, from what today will be modern South IRAQ, God called Abraham to "get out" of Iraq to make his "way in" Israel to become the Father of all families of man. At that time God took a piece of His Land, because God is the owner of the lands of the all World, and give it to Abraham to build a Nation for God. For this reason Israel is called today the Holy Land of Israel and the Holy Land of the Jews.
From Abraham God build Israel and from Israel Christianity is grafted into Israel making today Christian-Zionism; therefore Abraham is the Father of Judais, Christianity and the Father of Christian-Zionism.
Abraham could not and cannot be a muslim, because in Abraham times, there were no religions, only man and women that, not knowing the Living God, believed that the animals and the moon or the stars, were the source of life, and therefore associate the Creation with the Creator, without having yet had a Revelation from God. With Israel created has a Holy Nation however, God started Revealing Himself to the Jewish people, giving them the commission to be the Holy People of God.
From Judaism, the oldest form of God's knowledge, comes Christianity and Christian- Zionism. Abraham settled in Jerusalem with all his family, making Jerusalem, also know with the name of Zion, the City of God and the Capital of Heavenly Revelation.
This is the reality of the story of Abraham's journey and we can clearly claim that Abraham is also for father of Zionism and Christian-Zionism. In Christianity Zion is the name of the Holy City of Jerusalem, the Capital of Judaism. For this reason millions of Christians flock in Jerusalem every year, to support and confirm the story of Abraham, the first Zionist in the story of God's revelation to man.
In our modern times it can be easy to make claims in the name of Abraham, while Abraham is dead and none of us have meet him; all we can do today is a simple thing; see the Torah and the Christian Bible and realize that Christianity confirms the story of Judaism and the claims of Israel.
It's beleived that about 4 Billions of Christians today read the Bible and confirm in Israel the only Holy Land choosen by God to speak to mankind with His Heavenly Law in the Jewish Torah. God's Law is about love for the Creator and the Creation, including mankind, the Creature made on God's image.
God's Revelation is very easy for everyone; God is the Creator of the Universe, he made the Nature and the Creation for mankind, to use it and be happy; but out of the all His Creation, man and women, with their children have a special place in His heart. God's Revelation it's all there; none of His Creation is more important than mankind, and what God Revealed is man primacy and leadership above all Creation.
This is a Revelation that Abraham give to Israel and that every man and woman can easily understand. Abraham was a friend of God and like Abraham, Jews and Christians are the Messengers of God's love for Humankind and all families of the world. God Revealed Himself to be the God of love and felloship. This is what Humanity is all about and all that every man and woman is looking for in their life; love.
If we follow Abraham steps we see that he came out of Iraq, lived for a while in Syria and than made is final arrival time in Israel, to be the father of Judaism. For this reason God is ONE, gave only ONE Revelation to Abraham and today Judaism is the base of God's Message and Messengers.
Abraham became a Jew, the Prophets were all Jewish, Solomon was a Jew and so Jesus of Nazareth, who choosed 12 Jews from Israel to confirm God's Covenant with Abraham. God's Revelation is found in this way and everyone that would like to encounter God, must follow the footsteps of Abraham, out of the Far East into Israel and Judaism. This is the only WAY to God. This is the real journey of Arabaham, the father of modern Christian- Zionism.
The Bible tell us this truth, that can no longer be concealed to Humanity, when Jesus spoke in Jerusalem:
Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.” “You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!”
“Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” Gospel of John 8,56
If we look at Jesus Journey, we see that from Galilee, the Gospel tells us that Jesus walked in the footsteps of Abraham, to bring the Good News of God's Kingdom from the Lake of Galilee, to Syria, Lebanon and Jordan to spread God's Message to the all Middle East area, from where Abraham came from. God's Revelation "Starts and Ends in Israel", with the Jewish people in the Holy Land of Israel; today like in Abraham times. Jesus of Nazareth is the End of God's Revelation to Man.
