Again wrong interpretation.
The Israel of Revelation
- Thread starter Keiw1
- Start date
A tent is like a protective covering.
Its fact= 1 single religion-1Cor 1:10= Unity of thought( all of Gods 1 truth) no division.

It's easy to read Jewish themes into the text where they do not exist, too.
Was the opening post read? How about Post #9?

Yet even though from the mere letter we dont find the phrase Spiritual Israel, yet by deductive reasoning from scripture, its an implied truth, for instance Paul writing to the Corinthians writes 1 Cor 10:18
18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? Why say it llke that unless it be for the express purpose of distinguishing them from Israel after the Spirit, that is, the regenerated and spiritual Israel
The Psalmist spoke of an Israel with a clean heart here Ps 73:1
Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
Now God knows this statement doesnt describe the physical nation of israel, Abrahams natural seed.
A clean heart, a pure heart is one that has been spiritually circumcised, a redeemed regenerated person Gal 6:15-16
15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
Rom 2 29
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

The Mystery was that Gentiles are included in the Gospel Promises of the New Covenant made to the House of Israel Heb 8:8-13
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least* to the greatest*.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Those are Gospel Promises to the House of Israel, but what was the Mystery ? This Eph 3:6
6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
The elect Gentiles are the other Sheep Jesus had that wasnt of the national israel fold Jn 10:16
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
