"We live in the United States and you'd at least think we would be united enough to be able to rid ourselves of all injustices. But each night I pray for a small little nation across the ocean . . .the nation of Israel. I have a heart for what all of you are saying, but that little nation has been through more persecution than any other people. They are God's people. God's people are not just Christians . . .we Christians become God's people. Israel always has been. They were looking for God to rescue them from all their torment, so God sent His Son. I won't pretend to know all the reasons why the various people rejected Jesus, but I'd guess that some of the reasons were similar to some of the reasons why each of you may be rejecting what I've been saying. You want me to get rid of your torment . . .just like the people of Israel wanted God to get rid of theirs. You don't want me to suggest that you tolerate Casey, so as not to make it worse for yourselves. And even more, how would you feel if I were to recommend that you pray for Casey? The Bible says that we should bless them that curse you and pray for them that despitefully use you."
