Genesis try chapter 12-then what verse?

My Jewish people are blessed the Messiah predicted in the Jewish scriptures and the fulfillment I have found in Yeshua/Essa/Jesus my best friend and Messiah and savior-such a blessing-oi vey-oh yes Oh My thank you Messiah! of Isaiah 52:13-53:12 predicted to come to reign but first to suffer and lay down his life to make atonement for our sins.

what blessing-and we should bless the Jewish people for we have all been blessed by my people!

but why did Moses say this?

Well I as a Jew believed Moses -that the blood makes atonement for the soul=Leviticus 17:11

and I believed Isaiah that one would come too "He will lay down his life to make atonement for our sins."

and I believed Yeshua Jesus-repented from my sins and let Jesus into my heart-He is -now my messiah and best friend! why not I am double blessed as a Jew

Yes, God certainly did tell Abram (who would later be called Abraham) that He would bless those who bless Abraham's decedents and curse those who curse them. Because Abraham was a man who walked with the true God, He honored and favored this nation of Abraham's descendants. Yes, he went on to say that all nations would be blessed through Abraham. This is because people of all nations were given the chance for salvation through Abraham's descendant and God's son, Christ the Lord! Yes, God has used the Jewish people in a mighty way to bless the nations, and I always pray the Lord bless the Jewish people and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. There would be no Christianity without it's Jewish roots. From this people came Jesus and all the disciples! The first congregations were Jewish. God used His people to bring the precious gift of salvation to all through Jesus! Glory to God and His glorious son, Jesus our Lord! Praise the Lord that Jews like David are getting salvation through our Jewish Messiah, Yeshua! The Lord is saving his people!

I assume you're referring to Genesis 12:2 & 3.

If you are looking for a literal interpretation it wasn't actually Moses who said this. Moses wrote this story which is the beginning of Abram who later became known as Abraham. Abraham is seen as father of the Hebrews, a man whom God chose to make a covenant with. This covenant was that Abram would leave his family rejecting pagan gods and idolatry and chose monotheism and obedience to God's will. In turn God would bless Abram and make him a great nation of people.

God planned to develop a nation of people he would call his own. He called Abram from the godless, self-centered city of Ur to a fertile region called Canaan, where a God-centered, moral nation could be established. Though small in dimension, the land of Canaan was the focal point for most of the history of Israel as well as for the rise of Christianity. This small land given to one man, Abram and the Jewish people, has had a tremendous impact on world history.

that all happened before they killed Jesus and the other faithful witnesses of Jesus.

(Romans 2:28-29) 28 For he is not a Jew who is one on the outside, nor is circumcision that which is on the outside upon the flesh. 29 But he is a Jew who is one on the inside, and [his] circumcision is that of the heart by spirit, and not by a written code. The praise of that one comes, not from men, but from God.

(Revelation 7:9) 9 After these things I saw, and, look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands.

(Galatians 3:28) 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor freeman, there is neither male nor female; for YOU are all one [person] in union with Christ Jesus.

It is plain from this promise that God made to Abram that He had a special blessing in mind for Gentiles who love and support Abram's physical seed, the Jews. It is easy enough to note that nations which supported Jews have been blessed (America being one of them, despite incidents of intolerance); whereas nations that cursed the Jews are cursed themselves. For example, Egypt: Isaiah 19:1-16 tells us the curses God has been giving to the Egyptian nation and its people for the harm it's done to the Jews. Another example is Russia: Ezekiel 38 and 39 tell us Magog (Russia) and its leader (Gog) will be punished because God is against it. Why? The Jews have suffered horribly under Russian rule; in fact, they still continue to suffer there to this very day.

God's promise and curse is repeated by Jesus at Matthew 25, when He spoke of the Son of Man judging the nations (Gentiles). He said:

40b: "‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'" He also said at verse 45b: "‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these [My brethren], you did not do it to Me.’"

The context here is a FUTURE blessing for Gentiles who love, nurture and protect the Jewish people, Jesus' "brethren," during the Tribulation, when the Antichrist will seek to kill as many of them as possible. Many Gentile men and women will be called upon by God to protect and care for His chosen people. By doing so, these Gentiles will inherit a place in the Messianic Kingdom. (Of course, repentence and belief in Messiah is necessary, also.)

I believe God told Moses to record this promise so none of the nations can say they weren't warned when they are punished.

Abraham was told this by Yahweh as an acknowledgement of Abrahams faith. Jews represent .05 percent of the worlds population and have won 26 percent of the Nobel prizes, proven God is faithful.

Because Moses was a Jew. Whew! What a tough question~

Because Jews wrote the Bible, so naturally they put themselves in the best possible light, even though the whole thing is a big lie.
