XII Theses on Israel – Thesis 11 | Rev. Willem J.J. Glashouwer

Thesis 11: We believe that the Son of man will sit in judgment over the nations when the Kingdom comes and will ask them how they have treated Israel and the Jewish people.

We understand and believe that before the ultimate Kingdom of Peace and Righteousness is established, there will be a Day of Judgment upon the nations. The main question that the nations will have to answer is the question asked by Jesus: ‘What did you do to the least of these brothers of Mine?’ (cf. Matthew 25:40) His calling for solidarity with the poor and suppressed of this world regards in the first place our attitude towards Israel and the Jewish people. The divine commandment given to us by mouth of Isaiah is: ‘Comfort ye, Comfort ye My people’, says your God.’
