Healing Is the Children’s Bread: God’s Covenant Promise to Israelites
From the beginning, God established healing as a covenant promise specifically for Israel. This is not opinion, this is scripture. Every prophet, every miracle, every act of mercy ties back to that covenant. Healing did not begin in the New Testament. It began in the covenant. From the moment God spoke to Moses, healing was established as a promise to Israel alone.
Exodus 15:26 and Deuteronomy 7:15 show God promising to remove sickness from His people. Psalm 103:3 confirms that He forgives Israel and heals Israel.
Healing was never a random act in scripture. It was a covenant promise, given directly to Israel.
Isaiah 61:1 calls this healing ‘for the brokenhearted,’ meaning Israelites under captivity, pressure, and affliction. Christ continues this same pattern in Matthew 15:26 when He declares that healing is the children’s bread — the inheritance of the lost sheep of Israel.
When Jesus spoke in Matthew 15:26, saying, ‘It is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to dogs,’ He confirmed that healing belongs to the lost sheep of Israel.
The widow of Zarephath in 1 Kings 17 is often taught as a Gentile exception, yet she was an Israelite remnant woman living in Sidon. God multiplied her oil because of covenant mercy, not an exception.
Healing is the inheritance of Jacob. The covenant still stands.
Naaman in 2 Kings 5 is treated the same way in Christian doctrine, but the text makes clear he was an Israelite captured and serving among Syrians. His healing in the Jordan restored him through obedience, not through a broken covenant.
Psalm 89:34 seals the matter: God will not break His covenant nor alter the words that have gone out of His mouth. There are no loopholes and no Gentile exceptions. What He spoke to Jacob stands forever. God will not change the promise He made to Jacob. Healing belongs to Israel. And who needs it the most when there's proof that the used Israelites for testing diseases to create medicines, and creating vaccines.
Malachi 3:6 reminds us that Israel is not consumed because God does not change. Romans 11:1–2 affirms that God has not cast away His people. Healing is still ours.
From Moses to the prophets, from Christ to the apostles, healing is Israel’s inheritance. The children’s bread belongs to Jacob, and the covenant remains unbroken.
The heavenly scales image illustrates this truth: the covenant scroll outweighs the nations, who appear as dust. Healing isn't just from sickness in our bodies, its a remedy for our centuries of trauma.
From Moses to the prophets, from Christ to the apostles, nothing ever shifted the covenant. Healing is the children’s bread, and the children are Israel. The bread is Jesus. The covenant is our contract that remains unbroken, the promise remains in force, and the inheritance still belongs to you.
We must be thankful to God that he loves us as much as he does. He keeps his covenant even if others don't we will be healed under him if we just keep the commandments for him 🙏🏿
The covenant will never change
Praise the Lord
