I was always fascinated with the Holy Land. As a Christian I know that is where Jesus came from, and did His Ministry there and SAVED US. I know Q mentioned saving Israel for last, but I don't know exactly what Q means. Since I believe Q is on GOD"S SIDE, I know it can't mean anything bad. God is on Israels side and I'm sure Q is too. Prophecy says God is going to help Israel, and President Trump is also helping.
"Did you know that 30 percent of the Bible is actually devoted to prophecy? What’s crazy is that 78 percent of those prophecies relate to one topic – the end times.
I know it’s not always the easiest topic to talk about. First of all, because some of the events seem scary, and secondly, because they can be confusing. But here’s something that’s undoubtedly in Scripture: GOD HAS USED ISRAEL to help us understand the end times. And as always, it’s important that we know what God wants us to know.
Here is what we must know about Israel. First, it has ITS ORIGINS IN GOD HIMSELF. We see that in Genesis 12, when God spoke to Abraham and told him he was leading him into a certain land, and that his descendants would be the start of a great nation, aka, Israel.
Secondly, it’s important to know that God entered into a covenant with Israel way back then, and it is everlasting. We can read all about it in Genesis 17.
Third, it’s important to recognize that the NATION OF ISRAEL has BLESSED THE WORLD more than any other people. They gave us the greatest book in the world (the Bible), all 66 authors of the Bible, the greatest organization in the world (the Church), and obviously the GREATEST PERSON to ever walk the Earth (JESUS). Those reasons are enough to be grateful for.
Fourth, we must recognize that Israel is God’s stopwatch. He said in Joel 2:17-3:2 that the reemergence of Israel would be the sign of the end of the last days. He also said that Israel would experience a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The final sign regarding Israel’s future is that they will experience the Gog and Magog War.
Why do I tell you all this? Not to scare you, that’s for sure. This shouldn’t fill us with fear but with HOPE for redemption.
Christians should definitely support the nation of Israel. We must remember that Israel, the nation, is very special to God. We read in Deuteronomy 7:6-8 these words: "For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession. The LORD did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath he swore to your forefathers that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt."
God's eternal purpose is to bless the world through Israel. Already He has done so in measure, for "salvation is from the Jews" (John 4:22), but the fullness of future blessing is indicated in the wondrous promise of Isaiah 27:6: "In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit."

This is what the Jews thought of Jesus...from the Talmud:
Jesus crucified as a "blasphemer," Sanhedrin 46a (Exhibit 51), Jewish Encyclopedia (Exhibit 276).
Jesus burned, Sanhedrin 52a (Exhibit 52); manner of burning, Yebamoth 6b (Exhibit 151), verified by Jewish Encyclopedia under "Balaam" (Exhibit 274). He is "lowered into dung up to his armpits then a hard cloth was placed within a soft one, wound round his neck and the two loose ends pulled in opposite directions forcing him to open his mouth. A wick was then lit, and thrown into his mouth so that it descended into his body and burnt his bowels … his mouth was forced open with pinchers against his wishes (Exhibit 52) And: "The death penalty of 'burning' was executed by pouring molten lead through the condemned man's mouth into his body, burning his internal organs. (Exhibit 152)
Jesus strangled: "He was lowered into dung up to his armpits then a hard cloth was placed within a soft one, wound round his neck, and the two ends pulled in opposite directions until he was dead." (Talmud, Sanhedrin 52a, Exhibit 53)
This is repeated (Sanhedrin 106b; Exhibit 114) and verified by the Jewish Encyclopedia (Exhibit 274).
Jesus in hell where His punishment is "boiling in hot semen." (Talmud, Gittin 57a; Exhibit 202) The subject is identified as Jesus in a footnote, also in the Jewish Encyclopedia under "Balaam." (Exhibit 275)
Christians in hell (in the above passage) are punished by "boiling hot excrement" which is the punishment for all who mock "at the words of the sages" (i.e. the Talmud).
Jesus "committed bestiality," "corrupted the people," is "turned into hell." (Talmud Sanhedrin 105a; Exhibit 106 and Exhibit 107)
Jesus "limped on one foot" and "was blind in one eye," "he practiced enchantment by means of his membrum," "he committed bestiality with his ass," he was a fool who "did not even know his beast's mind." (Talmud, Sanhedrin l05a-105b; Exhibit 108 and 109) The ridiculous and foul misuse of Judges 5:27 about Sisera's dying convulsions meaning sexual intercourse is here applied to Jesus, with a footnote "explanation" of Judges 5:27: "This is taken to mean sexual intercourse …"
Jesus attempts to seduce women, is excommunicated by a rabbi and then worships a brick, was a seducer of Israel, and practiced magic. (Talmud, Sanhedrin l07b; Exhibit 117), also the Jewish Encyclopedia (See Exhibit 277).
Jesus is cited in the index of the Sanhedrin portion of Talmud, "chief repository of the criminal law of the Talmud" (See Exhibit 43), which shows the page numbers where He is denounced. (Exhibit 118)
Jesus' resurrection is cursed: "Woe unto him who maketh himself alive by the name of God." (Talmud, Sanhedrin 106a; Exhibit 111)
The trial of Jesus: "It was by the action of the priests that Jesus was sent before Pontius Pilate." The Sanhedrin priests "had most reason to be offended with Jesus' action in cleansing the Temple," the probable place of His trial, according to the Talmud. His cry: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" … was in all its implications itself a disproof of the exaggerated claims made for him. The very form of his punishment would disprove these claims in Jewish eyes. No Messiah that Jews could recognize could suffer such a death; for "He that is hanged is accursed of God" (Deuteronomy xxi. 23). This refers to an "evil son" and Talmudist Rashi adds "an insult to God." The foregoing is from the Jewish Encyclopedia under "Jesus." (See Exhibit 276
