Chris.
Israel had rebelled against the Lord their God. Most of Israel remains in that condition today. The Prayer of the True Church for Israel should be the same Prayer for all the Nations. The greatest need on the Earth today is the need for God. This is the same in all Nations. No one Nation should be given 'special treatment' by the Intercessors. The Great Need of the World today is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
