Maybe Scripture will help you to see Israel is the Church of God.
Just remember who Israel is. Corporately they are the descendants of Jacob whom God changed his name to "Israel."
You do know this, right? Or do I have to edumacate you?
Here is the Word of God (you do respect and accept the Word of God, don't you, for all you are called to believe, yes?
9 And
God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padan-aram, and blessed him.
10 And
God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
11 And
God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
12
And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
Gen. 35:9–12.
The descendants of Jacob/Israel occupy a portion of the land today. But this is the Promisede Land:
View attachment 780
And here is where the giving of this land marked out above is found:
18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
Gen. 15:17–21.
As far as Israel being the true Church of God here is the proof:
The Greek word "church" is first mentioned here (in book order - not date order)
1 PAUL, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
2 Unto the
church of God which is at Corinth, to
them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ
1 Cor. 1:1–3.
I will give you the Greek word for both "church" and "saints" below: (from Strong's)
church: ἐκκλησία
Transliteration: ekklēsia
The English word is found 118 times in the KJV, 115 times translated "church" and three times as "assembly."
from a compound of [#1537] (ek) and a derivative of [#2564] (kaleo); a
calling out, i.e. (concretely) a popular
meeting, especially a religious
congregation (Jewish
synagogue, or Christian community of members on earth or saints in heaven or both)
18 I will give thee thanks in the
great congregation:
I will praise thee among much people
Ps 35:18.
and again, speaking of Israel (you do know who Solomon is, yes? King of Israel.)
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 Chron. 7:8.
-----------
saints: ἅγιος
Transliteration: hagios
Found 229 times. Translated as "holy" 161 times, "saints" 61 times, "Holy One" 4 times, and 3 miscelleaneous words.
from hagos (an
awful thing) [compare <G53> (hagnos), <H2282> (chag)];
sacred (physical
pure, moral
blameless or
religious, ceremony
consecrated)
The Old Testament is written first and the word is found here (among other places)
Speaking of Israel:
9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness;
And let thy
saints shout for joy.
Psalms 132:9.
Do I need to edumacate you about Israel being the Bride"? Or will you take my word for it.
