Review points 1 to 7
Point 8: Purpose of Israel
God chooses a nation Gen 12: 1-7, provides spiritual blessings, needed a land, 'Israel to Lead the world' : physical blessing; called to be inclusing, not exclusive (became proud); others will come to pray; Jesus cleansed the Temple (a House of Prayer); Beattitudes (model of God's Will); Gentile lands (include in our land); Canaan a land full of Evil must be destroyed (Deut 20: 10-18).
Paul changed the model - a witness to the world: offer the world a hope.
God's heart: Spiritual blessings to others; Bless us so we can bless others; Make Him known by our choices.
