I believe that Abraham's seed is Jesus Christ.
I believe that all of God's promises are yes and amen in Christ.
Including reuniting the 12 tribes of Israel. (Ezekiel 37)
I believe Messiah will return and reign from Jerusalem for 1,000 years.
I don't see it as either/or, but both.
I know this flies in the face of much established church theology, but considering how much theology contradicts each other, I try to stick to the word with the Spirit's guidance. :)
I wrote what I did that others may understand. No offense intended.

I ask that the Father of Jesus Christ would show both of us what He wants us to see in this matter. Amen!
God has already showed us in His Word. The Bible is about Israel. The church is merely grafted in.

Romans 11:18-26 (NKJV)
18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in."20 Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. 22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? 25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;

I know who Satan is, and I know the One who rescued me from him and his flunkies.
If you believe you are Israel you have been deceived!

9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world;

I'm not necessarily arguing with what you're saying; what I am saying is that I don't want to argue.
I have a reverential awe of God, though I'm not afraid of Him; are you?

I would offer. . We must let God define the usage of the words he has given to us. Change the meaning of one word can change the direction of the commandments.

All Israel is not born again Israel some remain after Jacob the deceiver natural unconverted mankind. Israel is reckoned as a prince in respect to the new kingdom of priest after the order of Melchizidek. Prior no power was given to the name Jacob.

Genesis 32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

Israel defined as those who do wrestle with the things of this world (flesh and blood )and overcome because they have the power of Spirit of Christ. If any man has not the Spirt of Christ then they are not members of His bride made up of all the nations of the world. (one bride)

Jesus in John 6 said of his own powerless flesh it profits for nothing.

Once a person defines the word not adding other meaning to it then we can see why the Holy spirit renamed her a new name in respect to all the nations of the world Christian a word name (denomyn) identifying people by the location of their residents. Christian with no other meaning added means residents of the City of Christ prepared as the one bride of Christ the founder of the city .

Having nothing to do with an outward Jew, that has no way of tracing their ancestry back to the last genealogy in Mathew. And even if they could it would matter for nothing. God is not served by corrupted human hands as if he need anything from the clay he forms Christ in..

My goal is not to change anyone's doctrine, as I believe this is best handled between God, the bible (old and new testaments), and oneself.
I believe in Ephesians 4:11. Is 411 still information? Lol
If someone has read my OP and asked God if it applies to them, then perhaps, as far as it pertains to the house of Israel, my job is done.
I guess you could call me, "Joe apostle." Lol
Joe as in Joseph, apostle as in, "sent one."
Emissary-one sent on a special mission.
I think I'll follow whatever I believe the Lord is telling me.
Monkey see, monkey do? :)

Joseph - son of Jacob/Israel, father of two sons named, Ephra'im and Manasseh.
I've hear of the ten tribes being called Joseph, including in the bible.
Today, the house of Israel is often referred to as Ephra'im, as this tribe is the largest of the ten.
You may say that calling them Ephra'im isn't biblical.
You would have a point.
If one goes to the Jewish state of Israel and says, "Hi, I'm the house of Israel and you're not. We greatly outnumber you and we want to come live in our country again; we will bring our Christian faith with us," what do you think the Jewish response would be?
"Over our dead bodies!" Lol
I agree with Yair Davidiy (expert on ten tribes) that it is not time yet for the ten tribes to return to Israel.
Ten tribe groups are springing up on-line but have a long way to go, both in numbers and in being acceptable to the Jews.
I believe Luke 9:23 to be a major key here.
An encouraging sign is that more Jews have come to their Messiah (Christ) in the past 20 years than in the past 2,000.
It will take God to do this, as prophesied in Ezekiel 37 (two sticks into one).
This is a huge topic. Spanned over thousands of years.
We do, however, have a huge God. Shalom.

It's interesting that many Gentiles who now claim to be Israel don't obey the Law of Moses. It's not convenient.

I used to fish. I was in the top ten percent. I knew what lures to use.
In northern Ontario, a lure is called a troll.
I know a troll when I see one. :)

I agree, the "Christian" church is a filthy mess. But like I said before, you ain't Israel. No doubt there are many races and nations who try to usurp Israel's place with God. It's jealousy! It's a Satanic deception. If you're wrong you're in a Hell of a lot of trouble with God!

Genesis 12:3 (NKJV)
3 I will curse him who curses you;
I wasn't criticizing the body of Christ, but the use of an extra-biblical word.

I was just watching Yair Davidiy's Levi video.
He's telling my life story with scripture.
He doesn't know me.

Israel replacement theology is being discarded, so it should be repented of. Shalom.
The Lord Himself will replace the Jewish State of Israel and its ungodly neighbors with His faithful people.

Christians will occupy the holy Land

Nearly 4000 years ago, God met with Abraham and made an irrevocable Covenant with him: that his descendants would inherit all that area from the Nile to the Euphrates. Genesis 15:6-20

Later, after the incident at Mt Moriah, Genesis 22:15-18, God promised to make his descendants as numerous as the sands of the sea and they would possess the cities of their enemies.

Immediately, we see the problem with those who say that the Jewish people are all of Israel, because the Jews, who are only 2 of the 12 tribes of the sons of Jacob, have never been really numerous, or have been conquerors. We see this difference again in the blessings given to the tribes by Jacob: Genesis 48 & 49 and Moses: Deuteronomy 33. Note particularly in Genesis 48:3-4….I shall make you fruitful and increase your descendants until they become a host of nations.

This truth completely removes any idea of the Jewish State of Israel being the sole inheritors of the holy Land. In fact they only occupy a small portion of it and Bible prophecy is clear: because of their apostasy and sins, they will be thrown out. Jeremiah 10:18, Jeremiah 12:14, Isaiah 22:14, Ezekiel 21:1-7 Amos 2:4-5, +


There can be no argument as to who it will be that does inherit all of the holy Land: it is those whom Jesus came to save: the lost sheep of the House of Israel. Matthew 15:24 They are the people descended from the 10 tribes that were taken into exile by the Assyrians and have lost the knowledge of their ancestry. Paul talks about this secret of God in Ephesians 3:1-6, where he refers to them as Gentiles. i.e. non Jews.

The Apostles and Josephus knew where they were. Of course the Jews knew about their kin, as we see in John 7:35, Ezekiel 11:14-21 and their Rabbis still speculate as to when the tribes will rejoin.

The remnant of Judah, the Messianic Jews, will rejoin with their Christian brothers at the great spiritual regeneration described in Ezekiel 37, Jeremiah 50:4-5, Romans 9:24-26

Galatians 3:14 God’s purpose in all of this, is so that the Blessings of Abraham should be extended to the Gentiles, so that we can all receive the Spirit through faith.


Ezekiel 11:15-20 The whole people of Israel [the 10 tribes] to whom Judah [the Jews] have said: The Land is now ours to possess. As they do now.

The Lord says: When I sent Israel far away around the world, for a while I was their protector and blessed them wherever they lived. I shall gather My people from their dispersion and give the Land of Israel to them. I will remove their hearts of stone and put a new spirit in them. They will be My people and I will be their God.

This prophecy says how the Jews believe the holy Land is their possession. But the Lord will give it to His righteous Christian people, the peoples who have been blessed with prosperity and strength. They will be joined by born again Christians from every race, nation and language. Isaiah 56:1-8, Revelation 5:9-10


This will happen soon after the forthcoming Lord’s Day of vengeance and wrath:

Ezekiel 20:34 By My outpoured wrath, I shall bring you out from the nations and gather you from wherever you are dispersed.

Isaiah 41:8-10 Have no fear, My people - the descendants of My friend, Abraham. Galatians 3:29

I have not rejected you, now I summon you from the four corners of the earth; I am with you and will give you strength.



But not all of those whom God knows are actual Israelites, Amos 9:9, will be allowed to enter the holy Land:

Ezekiel 20:35-38 I shall bring you out of the nations and I shall state My case against you. I shall make you pass under the Rod of Judgement. Just as I did in the wilderness of Egypt, so I shall indict you. I will count you as you enter, but those who revolt and rebel, I shall take them from the lands where they now live, but they will not set foot in the holy Land. Thus you will know I am the Lord.

These are plainly stated prophesies, not yet fulfilled, but surely will be.

You obviously believe in the replacement theory.
I don't know, maybe it's just me, but there seems to be more love for vengeance than there is for people.
I have some orthodox friends and I love them.
I also have a Muslim friend, and I love him, too.
God is sovereign and in the end, His will shall be done.
And I will agree that it is right and just.
You have a nice day, Keraz. :)

Sounds like you have joined this group?

Zechariah 14:12 (NKJV)
12 And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.

All Christians will be saved? lol

I have cousins named Chapman, an origin of this name is Kaufman.
I have cousins named Brown, an origin of this name is Braun.
The origin of these names is Ashkenazic.
Going back hundreds of years.
Efforts were made to erase all Jewishness from Germany then.
The name Meyer replaced Levi.
My sister married a man named Obermeyer.
I think I recall hearing that he was of Jewish descent.
He is an excellent musician.
I'm not ashamed to be of Hebrew descent.

Why do you laugh that all Christians will be saved, is it because you do not think you are a part of spiritual Israel?

Better read Galatians 6:16!
