The Church is the New Israel composed of both saved jews and gentiles. That both saved jews and gentiles are the new manifestion of Israel is understood by these inspiried words Eph 2:12
Incorrect. The true Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has always been Israel. She is called the "Great Congregation" in Scripture, and also fulfills the definition of the Church as a "Great Congregation" based upon the definition of the Greek word "Church" which is "ekklesia" meaning "called out [ones]" originally being "called out" of Egypt at the time of Moses and the Tabernacle. The word also describes Jesus as a baby whom God "called out" of Egypt and returning to Israel, specifically Nazareth.
You and your false Constantinian Gentile theology has no place in Biblical Christianity which is a Christianity based upon the Word of God and NOT the false ideas of non-Hebrew Gentiles who seek to undermine God's people, to either steal Israel's inheritance of God or to try to insert themselves as co-inheritors when the actual Scripture records God making covenant with Abraham AND HIS SEED, a people who will later be called the children of Jacob/Israel. Nearly 3 million Jews/Hebrews were "called out" of Egypt and from their bondage thus fulfilling God's Promise to deliver His people from out of the yoke of bondage.
12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
13
And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
14
And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. Genesis 15:12–14.
Church = Great Congregation:
8 Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days,
and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt. 2 Chronicles 7:8.
Church/Christ = "called out [ones]:
When
Israel was a child, then I loved him,
And
called my son out of Egypt.
Hosea 11:1.
15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Out of Egypt have I called my son. Matthew 2:15.
"Church" ("called out [ones]") refers ONLY to Israel and to God's Son, Jesus the Christ.
Additionally:
The "Qahal" (The Called Out Assembly): The Hebrew word for "assembly" or "congregation" is
Qahal. When the New Testament uses the Greek word
Ekklesia (often translated as "church"), it literally means "the called-out ones." Jewish scholarship notes that the
Qahal of Israel was first formed specifically when they were "called out" of Egypt to stand at Sinai.
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
Now Christ has made them One Commonwealth Israel Eph 2:14
More Constantinian Gentiles rubbish. Saul writes these words to ixed-race Jews of the Diaspora who for over 700 years grew up in Gentile lands throughout the region and beyond. God sent the Assyrians to chastise His people Israel for their idol-worshiping of "other gods" and other sinful lifestyles under the various corrupt kings of the northern tribes and the southern tribes. Jews in this period grew up Gentile having lost their Temple and Hebrew way of life after being taken captive by both the Assyrians and later the Babylonians (722 and 586 BC, respectively.)
These mixed-race Jews were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth (society) of Israel and ignorant and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without their God while in the world (not in Israel, but literally in the world of Gentiles.
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one[commonwealth/citizenship], and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Due to mixed-race Jews being alienated from the covenants of promise we see in the gospels Jews who had a serious attitude against the Samaritans (John 4) who the Jews not mixed-race were divided against the Samaritans who were the descendants of the ten northern kingdom tribes along with Ephraim and Manasseh, two mixed-race Jew-Egyptian sons of Joseph. Jesus as king was sent for this people no matter the dilution of Abraham's DNA being descendants of Jew-Gentile births which in time became a social order living apart from Israel.
Saved Gentiles now have citizenship with Israel
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens[in the commonwealth of Israel] with the saints, and of the household of God;
This is also pictured in Rom 11 with the Olive Tree, with saved Gentiles being Grafted into the citizenship with saved Israel the household of God 9
Jeremiah states that the branches that were broken off were disobedient Jews. The Olive tree is the national symbol of Israel - NOT GENTILES. You are re-interpreting Scripture to make it fit your false Constantinian Gentile theology which is not supported by Scripture. God NEVER called Gentiles "Olive tree."Nor did Jeremiah.
