The Israel of God

[Sue J Love]

“For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,

“’The Deliverer will come from Zion,
He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.
This is My covenant with them,
When I take away their sins.’

“From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God’s choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience, so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy. For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all.” (Romans 11:25-32 NASB1995)

Please read this in the context of all of the book of Romans, and in the context of the whole of Romans 9-11 which talks on this subject of the Jews who rejected Jesus as the Christ, their Lord, their Messiah. For when this says that “all Israel will be saved,” it is speaking of biblical Israel, i.e. all Jews and Gentiles of biblical faith in Jesus Christ. But not all Jews past who rejected Jesus will be saved, and not all Jews present will be saved by faith in Jesus Christ, but only a remnant (see Romans 9:25-28; Romans 11:5).

For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

And Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

So, when this says that “the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable,” it does not mean that every Jew who has ever walked this earth is going to be saved and have eternal life with God. It just means that the invitation and the opportunity to believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior still stands until Jesus returns and he takes his bride to be with him for eternity and he judges the earth and the people of the earth who refused him as their Lord and Savior. One day that invitation will no longer be there, but it is for now.

And that invitation to believe in Jesus Christ and to have salvation from sin and eternal life with God is for all people, Jew and Gentile by physical birth. But please know that the invitation for us is, by God-gifted faith in Jesus, to deny self, die with Christ to sin (not just once, but daily), and to follow our Lord in surrender to his will, in subjection to him as Lord, and in walks of obedience to his commands in holy living, by the grace of God, and in the power of God, and because of Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins on that cross.

Therefore, we are not to regard ourselves as either superior or inferior to the Jews. But the biggest concern in our day is that so many Christians have been duped into becoming Jew worshipers, i.e. worshipers of the physical and political nation called, “Israel.” But they are not the “Israel of God,” for as a nation they have rejected Jesus Christ as their Messiah, and thus the Bible teaches that they are the antichrist (1 John 2:22). So supporting them and giving loyalty to them is giving loyalty and devotion to the antichrist.

So, please take the time to read these Scriptures, and to read them in their correct biblical context, as a whole, for the physical and political nation called, “Israel,” is not the Israel of God. Biblically speaking, they are the antichrist, for they deny that Jesus is the Christ. But we who believe in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Master of our lives are the Israel of God. And the invitation still stands for the Jews and Gentiles who presently don’t believe in Jesus to put their faith in the Lord Jesus and to be included in “all Israel.”

Bombs are bursting. Night is falling.
Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.
Trust Him with your life today.
Make Him your Lord and your Savior.
Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.
He will forgive you of your sin;
Cleanse your heart, made new within.

Men betraying: Our trust fraying.
On our knees to God we’re praying,
Seeking God to give us answers
That are only found in Him.
God is sovereign over all things.
Nothing from His mind escaping.
He has all things under His command,
And will work all for good.

Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.

Men deceiving: We’re believing
In our Lord, and interceding
For our nation and its people
To obey their God today.
He is our hope for our future.
For our wounds He offers suture.
He is all we need for this life.
Trust Him with your life today.

Jesus says in (Matthew 15:24 ) But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel and yet not understand the significance or the importance of biblical Israel. The truth of the matter is, people as a whole, know very little about Israel or their relationship with God. A point one should take note of, is that, it was Israel who received the word of God. It was Israel, through whom God revealed Himself to man. And Jesus, Himself was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Now other sheep, were received into Jesus fold and these other sheep were the Gentiles. Jesus stated that there would be one fold and one shepherd. In other words Jesus is the way of salvation to all, to Jew and Gentile alike. And to follow Jesus, and to be His sheep, one must obey the word of God. Now Gods word as mentioned was given to Israel. Hence to be a sheep in Jesus fold, one must adhere to the word given to Israel.

I am not certain of the point you are trying to make here but biblical Israel is Jesus Christ and his followers, whether Jew or Gentile by physical birth. All Jews who rejected Jesus are not biblical Israel, only those of genuine biblical faith in Jesus Christ. All who do not accept Jesus as Lord and Savior are antichrist, Jew or Gentile by physical birth. So to adhere to the word given to Israel is to adhere to the word of God taught under the New Covenant God has with his people Israel (Jew and Gentile by faith in Jesus Christ). It is to adhere to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Right now in the new Covenant, both saved Jews and Gentiles are in the Spiritual israel, the body of Christ, but national israel shall be dealt with by God during end times and at second coming event

Paul said in Romans 5:14-19 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

So right now, all those who died right in the eyes of the Lord, and kept his Commandments, Statues and Judgements will be save and come up in the first resurrection, including the old testament people. But also Jesus said with his own mouth; (Matt. 24:13) But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. That is until the end of your life, or until the Second Coming of the Lord.

It's always good to use scriptures and verses to support what you saying, pease do that in the future. The true Israelites that God chose to be his priest to all nations of the sons and daughters of Adam. "Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, you only have I known of all the families of the earth: Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities." (Amos 3:1-2)

For what purpose did the Lord choose the children of Israel? (Exodus 19: 1-6) Let's look at the 5th & 6th vs.; "Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: (6th vs.) and ye shall be unto me a Kingdom of Priest, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel." Take a look at what Peter was telling the Jews, quoting Moses in 1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. Now Pauls says in Roman 9: 3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: 4 who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; 5 whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen

What happened to the people of God for their transgressions? (Judges 2:14-15) "And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies. (15th verse) Whithersoever they went out; the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had said, and as the Lord had sworn unto them: And they were greatly distressed." Also let's look at (Hosea 4:6-7) " My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: Because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me. Seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. (7th verse) As they increased, so they sinned against me; therefore I will change their glory into shame."

How can the people of God rectify their transgressions? (Hosea 5:15) "I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face: In their affliction they will seek me early." Also (Acts 2:36-40) "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. (37th verse) Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their hearts, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the Apostles, men and brethren, what shall we do? (38th verse) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be Baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the Remission of Sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (39th verse) For the promise is unto you, and to your children and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. (40th verse) And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, save your selves from this untoward generation."

 

[Gothedral]

The one aspect of the Atoning power of Christ is this one:

(KJV) Saint Luke, chapter 23:
34 Then said Jesus, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."

The Lord will forgive whom He will, but anti-human, anti-Christ behavior is worthy of eternal Hell. These are words of warning for the bearers of false witness, the rejecters of Christ, the very children of the Devil. Do not be deceived. I say this knowing full well what I have done, that The LORD knows everything, and that my hope is in Our Holy Jesus, the Son of God and our Redeemer... And Christ will redeem those who die and live for Him.

Thank you Sister Sue. All glory to The Lord Almighty to save!
