I was waiting for this
Romans 9
''I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy
Spirit— I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were cursed and
cut off from Christ for the sake of my people,
those of my own race, the people of Israel.''
1. Israel is a race.
Being a decendant, being an ethnic jew doesnt mean you are the ''chosen Israel'', the Israel who God promised nations will bow too, and bless etc.
Who is this real Israel? Ethnic jews. No matter the number of the real Israel they will be jews. Because Israel is a race.
Even though there's millions of jews, the remnant ( chosen Israel) will be small.
, Romans 9:27.
"Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be
saved."
Romans 11:5.
"Even so at this present time also there is a
remnant according to the election of grace."
Grace come from Christ. The ''real'' Israel will be ethnic jews who converted to Christianity.
For example, the jewish disciples are the Real Israel.
The 144000 ethnic jews are the Real Israel, and every jew they convert will be the Real Israel.
Revelation 11.
I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple
of God and the altar, with its worshipers. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the
Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city
for 42 months. And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260
days, clothed in sackcloth.†They are “the two olive trees†and the two lampstands,
and “they stand before the Lord of the
earth.â€
They will convert ethnic jews, and those jews will be the Real Israel.
The 3000 On Pentecost (Acts 2:1-41)
Those ethnic jews are The Real Israel.
The ethnic jews who will convert after the battle of Ezekiel 38 and 39 will be the real Israel.
The Real Israel are ethnic jews who accept Jesus. And they will become meek and inherit the earth. They will rule with Christ as their king for a thousand years.
Would you like to a list of the promises made to the Real Israel? or more verses regarding the Real Israel?
Think its time I ask you to explain a few verses to me... Seeing that I've been doing it.
