Why does God love Arabs and Jews equally?

God loves Arabs and Jews equally because this present period is the day of grace. During grace, His love extends to all peoples—Arabs, Jews, Americans, Middle Easterners—without distinction. Yet God still maintains covenant promises to Israel as His covenant people and will bring Genesis promises to fruition.

Les explains that God loves the Arab just as much as the Jew, and He loves Americans just as much as Middle Easterners, because this is the day of grace. But going back to His covenant promises, God has delineated that the nation of Israel is His covenant people, and He will bring to fruition all the promises He made in Genesis. That is why the little nation is in the news every day and, though outnumbered, nobody dares attack them. Les points to the Almighty God holding everything in check, as seen in 1967 during the Six-Day War, when Israel was invaded from four directions at once yet in hours turned the tide and destroyed those Arab armies. That was the miracle working of a sovereign God, even though they are in unbelief. Likewise, Jacob went into a far country under God's protection and blessing, but he himself was still an unbeliever, still the supplanter and deceiver.
