A Prayer of Forgiveness for the Sins Against Israel

• Ruth and I worship in a church in Jerusalem which was established I think in 1840, the first Protestant Church in the Middle East. It is the product of the efforts and the giving and the praying of British Zionists. And it’s purpose was to have a place of witness ready for the Jewish people when they returned.
• So they knew from the Scriptures the Jewish people were coming back Nd they had the foresight to say, “We need to have a witness.” And this particular church is not built like an ordinary church. Most ordinary churches would offend Jewish people the moment you walked in. But this church, although it’s truly Christian, is designed in such a way that a Jewish person can feel at home there.
• And after the church was first established the first Bishop was a former Rabbi. And there was a revival amongst the Jewish people. And then Satan got in and they became more interested in the Arabs than the Jews. God bless the Arabs. Every Arab has a soul that needs to be saved. But the Jews are the key to history.
• So I suggest that we British— I’m so glad that I can say “we.” I don’t have to say you as you might object if I did. But we British really need to think about our relationship with God. I think that it would be appropriate we close this meeting tonight by confessing our sins to Almighty God. That we have stood in the way of His purposes.
• We have belittled, maligned His people, we have been very unethical in our whole conduct with regard to the land of Israel. Now I don’t feel I’m the person to make this confession. I would ask that the leadership of Barnabas come up and join me on the platform. I would ask all you people who are truly British, believe in the Lord, to make this a significant moment, because it can really help to change the destiny of Britain.
• No, because he is Jewish. I think you should do it. So I want to ask you to be prompted by the Lord and make an honest confession on behalf of the British people of the way we have sinned against God, and sinned against the Jewish people, and sinned against the State of Israel, and tell Him we’re sorry, and will He forgive us.
• Amen. So that’s two Jews on the platform now. I think it would be good to stand together please in the presence of the Lord. I do believe before we begin to pray that there are people here in this room… This isn’t about appeals or people coming forward or putting up their hands or anything. That’s not part of it.
