The Gospel of Christ

Brother I totally agree that we must not get carried away by the whole Hebrew roots thing and idolizing the Jews or Israel. I don't know much about the Khazarians, I've heard of that but don't know how much truth there is to it. But I do know that God knows who the real descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are....and their gifts and callings are without repentance......they can be discerned. I worked for seven years in a Jewish health care facility and got to know and discern Jewish people quite well in that time. God has not forgotten them and still calls out to them...they are still loved on account of the patriarchs....even though at different times some of them can be enemies for the gospel's sake.
As for Israel after the flesh, there IS still an Israel after the flesh (as well as the Israel of God of course)....and it is the Lord who raises and lowers kings and kingdoms in this world, both by what He allows and whether or not He intervenes in some way. So if Israel has become a nation again, it is because the Lord has allowed it and perhaps even made a way for it to happen. I believe there will be a harvest of souls there, as well as I'm sorry to say, the Lord showed me a strong deception associated with the rebuilt Temple. I believe the final strong delusion (that if it were possible it would deceive even the very elect) will be centred there. Maybe a move of God around the same time as the devil is making his last stand.
Sister, I appreciate your heart — and I agree with you on one key point:
God absolutely knows who are truly His, and yes, He still calls out to the descendants of Abraham — but only through the Gospel, not through the land, not through lineage, and not through Levitical shadows.
But here’s the danger:
When we say things like “there’s still an Israel after the flesh,” we begin to tread the same path Paul explicitly warned against in Romans 9:6:
“For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel.”
Why?
Because the covenant was never about flesh to begin with. Even Abraham's true children, Paul says, are those of the promise — not just DNA. (Romans 9:8)
When Paul says in Romans 11:28 that Jews are “beloved on account of the patriarchs,” he’s not handing modern Israel a pass. He’s saying God fulfilled His covenant with the patriarchs — in Christ.
And now, under the New Covenant, there is one olive tree — and only those grafted into Christ remain in it. Paul says clearly: "If they do not continue in unbelief, they will be grafted in."
That’s individual redemption through faith — not national restoration through warfare or political legitimacy.
You said:
“If Israel has become a nation again, it is because the Lord has allowed it...”
Sure — but the Lord also allowed Babylon to rise, Rome to crucify Christ, and Herod to massacre babies. Permission isn’t the same as approval. What God allows and what God blesses are not always the same thing.
As for “Israel after the flesh” — yes, it exists. But Scripture makes it clear:
That fleshly Israel has no covenantal privilege unless it enters through Christ.
Jesus is the gate. There is no backdoor through Abraham’s DNA. And the idea that God will somehow do a side-deal with the modern nation-state of Israel outside the Gospel is the exact lie Dispensationalism is built on.
You said you believe there will be a deception around the rebuilt Temple — and I fully agree.
But let’s not say “maybe” a move of God will happen around it.
That entire temple system was already judged and replaced.
To suggest His Spirit will endorse it again would be like saying Christ’s sacrifice wasn’t enough.
“Do you not know that your bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit?” — 1 Corinthians 6:19
“The Most High does not dwell in temples made by hands.” — Acts 17:24
So let me say this plainly:
The modern state of Israel is not a prophetic miracle.
It’s a geopolitical entity built on the rejection of Jesus Christ.
The only move of God that will happen there is individual repentance — the same as anywhere else on Earth.
There are not two peoples.
There is not “Israel after the flesh” and “Israel of the Spirit” on parallel tracks.
There is one Body, one Gospel, one promise — and that’s through Jesus alone.
So yes — God still calls to Jews. He loves them. He draws them.
But He doesn’t have two plans — one for them and one for us.
He has one Son. One cross. One covenant. One Church.
The moment the Church starts giving a theological pass to anyone outside of Christ —
we are no longer standing with Jesus.
