Should we expect the Israeli government to be godly?
No. The government in Jerusalem should not be expected to be godly or more righteous than any other government. It is secular, made up of ordinary human beings doing what they think right, and is under the god of this world, much like Washington D.C. Israel remains God's covenant people, though presently set aside and spiritually blinded.
Les teaches that people should not expect the government in Jerusalem to be godly or any more righteous than any other government. They are secular, ordinary human beings doing what they think is right for their circumstance, and they are just as much under the control of the God of this world as Washington D.C. is. Some think that if Israel is what the Bible says, nothing evil should come out of the Knesset, but he says, "Don't expect that." There is an exception: Israel is still God's covenant people. Right now they have been set aside and are spiritually blinded for the most part as a nation, but God is not through with them. He will yet pick up where He left off, and the final covenant promise to Israel is as yet future, not appropriate to put Israel under tonight, but they will one day enjoy it.
