"True" Israel?

In the beginning God “CREATED” Man-KIND….
Called: the Hu-MAN RACE.
In the early days of Man-KIND,
God “MADE” A DIVISION of the HUMAN Race…
Called:
Hebrews, Tribes of Israel, Israel, Jews,
And
Gentiles

“Israel” “IS”…the Bloodline descendent-ship of Abraham, Issac, Jacob, David…

“True Israel” “IS”… such ^
Bloodline “Faithful” TO the the God of Abraham, Issac, Jacob, David…
(Anciently, historically, modernly called;
Gods People, HEBREWS, Tribes of ISRAEL, JEWS)

GENTILES…
Are of the Bloodline Descendent-ship of
Abraham, Ishmael, —>offsprings

“Christian” “IS”…a FOLLOWER of Christ Jesus’ Teaching.
“Messianic Jew” “IS”…a FOLLOWER” of Christ Jesus’ Teaching.
Following… “IS” “Tasting” / “trying out” with NO commitment.

Christ Jesus shall “SAVE” His “Faithful Committed People” (Regardless of RACE… JEW or GENTILE.)

Acts 16:
[31] And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

2 Cor 5:
[17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

John 17:
[24] Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world


God shall “SAVE” His “Faithful people ISRAEL”.

Isa 45:
[17] But Israel shall be saved in the LORDwith an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.


*
The “COMMITMENT”…(of any individual Human ), “IS” by, through, of…
What THAT individual BELIEVES IN THEIR HEART at the moment of their bodily Death.


The all knowing Lord God Almighty searches EVERY Heart, upon a man’s bodily Death…
* God Saves His Faithful ISRAEL.
* Christ Saves His Faithful Any… JEW or GENTILE.

Because SALVATION “IS” “MADE /Given” …ONCE and FOREVER
AFTER a Bodily Death …


1 Cor 15:
[36] Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:

Once MADE / Given, It (salvation), Permanent Life ( Saved soul, Born again spirit, ie. Quickening)…
IT IS Permanent, Never Revoked!
Aka, modern acronym … OSAS.

The “UNCOMMITTED”… (Absent Belief in the Lord God , in their heart )…
Shall be Wholly, natural body, natural spirit (hearts truth of unbelief) and soul Destroyed, forgotten).

Warning:
Luke 12:
[5] But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

Matt 10:
[28] And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Ecc 9:
[5] For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

True… signifies a Heartful Belief AFTER a bodily Death…and commitment of a persons Heartful Belief…MADE during his mortal Life time.
* IN The LORD God….
…AT physical Death
* IN Christ The Lord…Crucified with Jesus’ Body
…While still mortally Alive.

Glory to God…
Offering Salvation to ALL, who Heartfully Desires to Reach out and TAKE His Offering of glorified Everlasting Life WITH…
The Lord God Almighty.

Praise God,
Taken

The Gifts and Callings of God

Rom 11:29

29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

For the gifts and callings of God are without repentance; and that's why for the Fathers sake there is a remnant [ Israel of God] in Israel [ National Israel], again that's why Paul, a benjamite, a hebrew of hebrews , was made to see[converted], and that's why he had a good hope that many more of his jewish brethren would be turned to the Lord, they too being of the foreknown of God and the election of grace, of which the rest were broken off in their unbelief.

Note: When God set aside the National Covenant with Israel as a Nation being the representation of the Kingdom of God on earth as His People, that did not mean He would not still save ethnic Jews by grace.

You see those that were blinded [ Jn 9:39] were made enemies for the gentiles sake, that the elect remnant of them [ see Acts 15:14-16] may be grafted into the Olive Tree, but in regards to the remnant according to the election of grace [in national Israel], they are beloved for the Fathers sake, because the gifts and the callings of God's own eternal purpose of grace [ 2 Tim 1:9] and not race.

For God did not repent of His purpose of Judicial blindness unto the nation of Israel [ Jn 9:39] nor of His purpose and calling of the election of grace of the gentiles for James says:

Acts 15:17-18

17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.

18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

This blinding of national Israel and introducing of the gentiles into covenant relationship with the elect remnant of the jews, was all of Gods doing .. Matt 21:42

Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 2

God has not changed towards Israel

For God has not changed His purpose of Grace towards Israel, for He keeps His covenant faithfulness [ in spite of the rejection of Him by the jews of national Israel] He keeps His promise by converting the remnant according to the election of grace. That is Paul's point in Rom 11:2

God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. That means there were Jews in Israel He foreknew in their being chosen in Christ and predestinated to the Image of His Son per Rom 8:28


28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

So God is Faithful in converting the Jews of the nation who are of the election, and He is Faithful in converting the gentiles of the nations who are of the election. And Gods plan entailed breaking off national Israel for the grafting in of the gentiles.

So in reality, it is those who believe in some kinda postponement theory [ jewish fable] that have no understanding of Gods immutability, for they fail to see Gods purpose in national Israel fall [ Matt 21:42-43 ] and the grafting in of the gentiles per Acts 15:17-18


17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.

18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world

Notice how this calling of the gentiles is associated with the building up of the tabernacle of David vs

16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:

This building again was in a spiritual way. Notice how the terminology of building is used by Paul with the adding of the gentiles to build the temple of God Eph 2:19-22

19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;


20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit

We should all know that the temple was built after the pattern of the tabernacle.

So vs 29 of Romans 11 is emphatically stating that the gifts and callings to the remnant Jews, and the remnant gentiles are without repentance by God; for this is evidenced by the everlasting covenant to Israel has not been annulled by the reject and blindness of National Israel in part, because the election [ within the nation] hath obtained the promises of the everlasting covenant along with the elect gentiles in the world, and this was the Mystery, but now being revealed by the Gospel.

Romans 11:32

Rom 11:32

32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all

This is one of the most misunderstood verses in romans, and the false teachers and followers of antichrist have a field day with it wresting it out of context. This verse is in the context of Paul's exposition of the mystery !

Rom 11:25

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

Rom 16:25

Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

Eph 3:3

How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

And how the unbelief of national Israel [ the partial blindness] was ordered by God for the inclusion or grafting in of the gentiles into Covenant Israel.

Now by God doing this, the gentiles [ the church] would now be instrumental of God, to call by the preaching of the gospel, the elect Jews of the nation into fellowship with Jesus Christ, as well as the elect gentiles too .In other words, now that national Israel is cut off, the elect Jews in that nation will come to faith in Christ through the preaching of the church, which would now be mainly gentiles. So God has by succession plans concluded both Jew and gentiles under unbelief, in order to Have mercy upon all, all people groups.

For at first the gentiles for the most part were in unbelief and ignorant to God and the true way of salvation during the OT era but now under the new covenant era the tide has changed, and now the Jews for the most part are under unbelief, and now God has mercy on the remnant Jews through the ministry of the gentiles or church.

This was intimated long ago in this prophecy Isa 61:6

But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.

remember back earlier in Rom 11 this statement ? Rom 11:12

Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

The enriching of the gentiles, will fall to the enriching of the elect remnant in national Israel, even though for the most part the many Jews of that nation were blinded.

But the gentile church, would be used of God up until the end, to call out of national Israel a people for His name sake, as He called out of the gentiles a people for his name sake see Acts 15:14.

So thats what Paul means in this verse, in having mercy on all.. He shut down earlier the gentiles in unbelief [ OT ] and under the NT He shut down the Jews in unbelief..and He will have mercy upon each people group, for both groups of people contain a remnant according to the election of grace, which are the vessels of mercy, not of the Jews only but also of the gentiles Rom 9:23-24


23And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

24Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?3

1 Cor 10:18 Israel after the flesh !

1 Cor 10:18

18 Observe Israel after the flesh: Are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

Israel after the flesh makes no sense in saying unless there is a Israel after the Spirit..

Rom 9:6

6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 3
