God expected and expects physical Israel to set the example to the world on how to treat the most vulnerable in society — including the ‘stranger’. After all, our Father & Elder Brother are “the God of the fatherless, the widow and the stranger”. His ancient edict was designed to insure His church/His people/His ‘strangers’ were protected then and now. Prophecy indicates that modern Israel will once again fail in this most fundamental mission in the end time. Fortunately, at Christ’s return, Israel will be given another opportunity and this time succeed.
