Jesus is Israel, God's first born son. All those of the body of Christ is Israel. We who believe are the 'remnant' prophesied about. Don't let the devil rob you of your election folks. It most certainly is not those in the middle east claiming to be Israel, they are only fatherless interlopers and antichrists, reserved unto death. Fact.
Amen Whitestone!!
We are the spiritual Israel being born again of our mother heavenly Jerusalem. Earthly Jerusalem is going to be laid bare, but the elect shall be caught up out of harms way unto the throne of God which is Zion.
Col 3:12
12 Put on therefore,
as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

1 Peter 2:1-11
2:1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,

s newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men,
but chosen of God, and precious,
5
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
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:
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

All since Christ, must be born again, the only remnant of OT Israel are the 7,000 who God has reserved for Himself according to:
1 Kings 19:18
18 Yet I have left me
seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
KJV
Rom 11:4-5
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him?
I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
KJV
I believe these to be those who came out of their graves at Christ's resurrection fullfilling Ezk's dry bones and are alive to this day in Jerusalem. I also believe that they will die to their bodies in the earthquake just after the two witnesses go up as described in
Rev 11:12-15
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them,
Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
13 And
the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part{TITHE} of the city fell, and
in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15 And
the seventh angel sounded;
KJV
Jew first in 13 above, then comes the birth of the son's of God in Rev 12:5 the holy body of Christ who is the temple of God. The unbelieving Jews which are also called a remnant will see this earthquake and know that it is their Messiah but they go to the place prepared of God with the rest of the church who were not spiritually ready at Christ's coming for his holy body members, to be fed, physically and spiritually fed for the last 3-1/2yrs.
We are Esther(New covenant Israel) Vashti is Old covenant Israel of disobedience that the King gave a certificate of divorce,Mordacia the Jew is Jesus and we the adopted daughter. Hamon is Satan, Hegai that prepares Esther is the Holy Spirit.That is why it says that Esther's roots were hidden and in Christ, there is no genealogy for our bloodline is of God's Spirit as we are born again from above not of the flesh but of the Spirit.
