And All Israel Shall Be Saved!

[praise_yeshua]

The Church, the Body of Christ has not replaced Israel, but is Israel in union with her Husband and Saviour Jesus/Israel. Yes Jesus is Israel, scripture reveals this. Who does the Prophet mean as Israel here Isa 49:3

And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

This is none other than Jesus Christ in whom God is Glorified.

Jn 13:31

Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

Jn 17:4

I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

Now the name Israel means:

Israel = "God prevails"

Remember when God first named Jacob Israel ? Notice the words Gen 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.

The greek word for Israel :

Israel = "he shall be a prince of God"

The risen Christ is the Prince Israel and Saviour Acts 5:31

31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

Now this word prince equates to Israel, now understand, this Prince Israel is the Head of His Body the Church, and One with His Wife, who can deny that Christ is now the Head of His Body the Church Eph 5:23


For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

Herein lies the great Mystery, that Christ and His Body the Church are One Flesh Eph 5:30-32

30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

So the Church is One Flesh with Israel, the Prince of God, who has prevailed.

If Christ is Israel, the servant of God in whom God is Glorified Isa 49:3

And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

Then His Body the Church, with whom He is One Flesh, is also Israel, this is the Mystery ! 11

Close. Honoring Christ requires more than just "lip service". Appealing to the Glory of Christ while hating your brother in Adam isn't very convincing.

 

[jeremiah1five]

God had children before Abraham.

Yes, Adam, Cain, Abel, Seth. The genealogies are listed. Not all but the significant ones. Especially when we get to Seth. But even these sons of God became unequally yoked with the daughters of men and corrupted the family line.

 

[FreeInChrist]

There is no spiritual Israel if there is no natural or physical Israel.
God made covenant with Abram the Hebrew and his Hebrew seed.

God made a covenant with Noah before Abraham.

In fact, of the 7 covenants in the bible, 3 came before the Abraham one. the Edenic Covenant, the Adamic Covenant, the Noahic Covenant,

God made covenant with the children of Jacob/Israel and it is recorded as such in the Hebrew Scripture. God made covenant with the House of Israel and the House of Judah found in Jeremiah 31.

You are confusion type with shadow and trying to make these words as though they were interchangeable.
Natural Olive tree Israel became spiritual Israel when the Holy Spirit of Promise PROMISED TO ISRAEL came down from heaven with a mighty rushing wind and FILL the eleven disciples that were in the house (upper room.)
That day, which is recorded in Acts, was the beginning of natural Israel becoming spiritual Israel. It IS ethnic and that's the way God did it. Abraham was a real person and God made covenant with him and with his biological seed, a people called the children of Jacob/Israel.

You can't change what has been written. There is no spiritual Israel without an ethnic and physical Israel.
God promised natural, physical Israel and then God fulfilled promises made to natural physical Israel. There is no other Israel in existence.

 

[jeremiah1five]

God made a covenant with Noah before Abraham.

In fact, of the 7 covenants in the bible, 3 came before the Abraham one. the Edenic Covenant, the Adamic Covenant, the Noahic Covenant,

There are only three national covenants between God and the Hebrew people: Abrahamic (Father), Mosaic (Son), and New (Holy Spirit.)
These three bear record on heaven and on earth. Being called the God of Abraham is not ambiguous. God calls Abraham His Friend just as Jesus calls Judas His Friend, and there are no friends of God in hell.
