Dec 5, 2021 at 5:26 | comment | added | Sherrie | The Israel of God refers to Jewish believers in Jesus Christ, to those who are spiritual as well as physical descendants of Abraham. They are the Jews who accepted the Lord Jesus as their Messiah, the remnant chosen ones by grace mentioned in Ro.11:5 Look at who Peter is addressing when he refers to them as a holy nation. Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the elect who are exiles of the Dispersion throughout ..1 Peter 1. Look at Exodus 19:6 I ask then, did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery?f Certainly not! Course God well graft them back. Let's move this to chat if you want. | |

Israel's house (the nation) is desolate and they shall see him no more until they say, "Blessed is He...". They are not all Israel who are of Israel...God is no respecter of persons. If they get saved they are in the Church. We, says Peter, are a royal priesthood, an holy nation. We are grafted in to what they were cut out of...one olive tree. They can be grafted in again but they cannot approach via some alternate track and they dare not hope in their lineage. | |
Dec 4, 2021 at 18:09 | comment | added | Sherrie | Israel is Gods appointed channel of blessing to the nations. The book of acts is full of the jealousy of the Jews whenever they see the nations receiving God's gifts. Perhaps some of them looked at Jesus again in a more favorable light. In doing so they may have come to believe in Him as their Messiah and some of them in the process were saved. | |
Dec 4, 2021 at 16:55 | comment | added | Mike Borden | What then is the point of the church provoking Israel unto jealousy (Romans 11) if they are on their own track to blessing? | |
Dec 4, 2021 at 16:31 | comment | added | Sherrie | Israel's blessing will take place on the earth where they will reign as a royal priesthood,a holy nation unto Jehovah for making the knowledge of His glory cover the earth as the waters cover the sea, and bless all the families and nations of the earth. | |
Dec 4, 2021 at 15:44 | comment | added | Mike Borden | And Israel's blessings are earthly? | |
Dec 4, 2021 at 14:36 | comment | added | Sherrie | Hi Mike. Our blessings are inherent in the heavens. who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, Eph. 1:3 1in whom also we obtained an inheritance, Eph. 1:11 | |
Dec 4, 2021 at 13:51 | comment | added | Mike Borden | Is there, then, "our blessing" and the "blessing of Israel in the Kingdom"... 2 blessings with "ours" being the opposite of "theirs"? | |
