Some time ago, I heard a portion of a talk given by a north American pastor in which he praised the nation of Israel with euphoria & exhorted all his Christian audience to support it while he also commended the north American congressmen who lobby for Israel within the American government saying that they were fighting for a righteous cause, while at the same time he was preaching that both Jews & Christians have to be united, etc.
There is a large number of Christian churches nowadays which believe that. There are Scriptures that I want to share for your consideration. Please, read them, & see what the Spirit of God shows you. How Biblical can that doctrine be?
Gal 3:27-29 For as many as were baptized into Christ, have put on Christ. There cannot be Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is no male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise.
In other words all of us Christians who have put on Jesus, are now one in Christ whether Jew or Gentile, now ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS. And if we belong to Christ, then we are Abraham's seed, his descendants by faith. The Jews in the flesh are not Abraham's seed unless they have God's seed in them, Jesus Christ in their hearts.
The Bible says about God... Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God. So...
Rom 2:28-29 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 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.
So true Jews are us, those whose heart has been circumcised by God, & we no longer call ourselves Jews, but Christians, Sons of God, the Israel of God.
The word Jew, does not refer to the members of the Tribe of Judah only, nor to all Israelis, but the word Jew refers mainly to one person whose religion is Judaism, being from any of the Tribes of Israel, being Judaism the religion of the Old Testament Jews, which was based on keeping the laws of the Talmud which is not the Torah, or Old Testament Scriptures, but the compilation of the historic rabbis "discussing" or "debating" what the Torah means, according to their carnal reasoning & not God's.
Jesus said to the Jewish Pharisees Mar 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
Philippians 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
We who rejoice in Christ are the true sons of God, true Israel.
Gal 6:15-16 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the ISRAEL OF GOD.
What counts is: having been made “a new creature & once been born again by the Spirit of God, we become part of the Israel of God. 2Corinthians 5:17
Eph 2:11-22 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called the circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: BUT NOW in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who HATH MADE BOTH ONE, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile BOTH unto God in ONE BODY by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
So according to Scripture both Jews & Gentiles who have been reconciled to God, through Jesus Christ are the true citizens of God's Kingdom & the ISRAEL OF GOD.
But that's not all, the Scriptures also define the Kingdom's enemies. Jesus Christ said...
John 5:22-23 For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which has sent him.
Pretty clear, no? If the Jews or anybody else don't honor the Son, they honor not the Father, God.
1Jn 5:10 He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself: he that believes not God hath made Him a liar; because he believes not the record that God gave of his Son.
In other words, not believing what God has said about his Son is insulting Him to the face calling Him liar! That's no small thing.
Paul, writing about the Jews of his day; 1Thessalonians 2:14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews: Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
Clear too, no? The case is that the majority of modern Jews, continue to reject Jesus. And the Talmud has some of the most blasphemous passages about Jesus in the world. There is a powerful group of Jews who own most of the movie & TV industry, news media outlets etc., who in their movies, comedies, songs, TV shows, etc., ridicule, mock, insult, make fun of Jesus & deny his messiah-ship.
The modern State of Israel was founded by a group of Jews, called Zionist & which were financed by the powerful Jewish Bank system with the proper contacts in international arenas that helped them to move the right leaders of the world into allowing the creation of a Jewish state within the land of the Palestinians. It is interesting to note that in the book of Revelations Jesus talks about a group of Jews who call themselves Jews, but Jesus says they are of the Synagogue of Satan. Rev 2:9 'I know ... the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. & 3:9...Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you.
In Bible terms there are also those called “antichrist” for denying Jesus as the Messiah... 1John 2:22-23 Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denies the Father and the Son. Whosoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father: (but) he that acknowledges the Son hath the Father also.
Well that should be clear enough, right?
So If we are going to fraternize with the declared unbelieving Jews, we would simply be ignoring & disobeying Scripture; 2John 1:7-11 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ (Christ= the anointed, that is, the Messiah) is come in the flesh . This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresses, and abides not in the doctrine of Christ, has not God. He that abides in the doctrine of Christ, he has both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that bides him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
How can the evangelical churches, which back this secular Israel, as God's, justify the mass murder by them of thousands of children, women, old folks, Palestinian civilians, etc., their neighbors & then turn around & proclaim they are preaching the gospel of Christ? That is certainly not Jesus' gospel, who commands us to love even our enemies. Could we justify a “Christian minister”, who partakes in adultery, pedophilia, stealing or killing just because he is a “son of God”?
Giving a “theological” justification for Israel's crimes... doesn't that make those who do participants of their evil deeds?
To argue that the modern Jews are the seed of Abraham is to ignore the Scriptures that I cited above. Those promises get fulfilled in all Jews & Gentiles who surrender to Jesus as God's Son & that is the only way to be redeemed from our sins. Citizens from all nations upon the face of the earth who become Sons of God through faith in Jesus Christ as the Messiah become the Israel of God.
Gal 3:6-10 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the HEATHEN through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying: In thee shall all nations be blessed; so then they which be of faith (the believers) are blessed with faithful Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law (those who pretend to come to God by keeping the laws of Moses) are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
So until the Jews won't turn to Jesus & receive Him as Lord, they remain under curse.
John 3:36 He who believes on the Son has everlasting life, and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him.
Philippians 2:9-11 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
The promises of God given to Israel under the Old Testament find fulfillment in Jesus & the Church. Doesn't the Lord tell his disciples that they will lead the twelve tribes of Israel in the latter days? Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you: That you which have followed me, in the regeneration (messianic restoration) when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Prophecies given to Jeremiah 31, 32, Ezekiel 36 about Israel & Judah, are assigned to the Church in Hebrews 8:10-13; 10:16-17
There is a great number of Jews who are turning to Jesus not only in Israel but all over the world & they are no doubt part of the remnant from Rom 11:5 Even so then, also in this present time a remnant according to the election of grace has come into being.
Rom 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, they will be grafted in: for God is able to grafted them in aga
Rom 11:25-26 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
The fullness of the Gentiles be come in + Israel's remnant in = ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED.
And there are still many more Gentiles & Jews coming into Jesus' fold; Jn 10:16 And I have other sheep who are not of this fold. I must also lead those, and they shall hear My voice, and THERE SHALL BE ONE FLOCK, ONE SHEPHERD.
Notice that the Olive tree of Romans 11, represents Israel, & it is from this Olive tree that Jews were pluck off & where Gentiles were grafted in, & where those Jews that turn to Christ will be grafted back in. There is not an Olive tree of Israel & then another olive tree of the Church, no, there is only one Olive Tree which represents Israel cited also by the prophet Jeremiah 11:16
When Jesus returns to the land of Israel as King of kings & Lord of lords, then will all the land of Israel be totally restored again to God's Children, & from there, all the nations of the world will be ruled under Jesus' leadership & guidance.
Even Orthodox Jews agree that Israel will not be a nation again until the Messiah comes.
Please take time to listen to Jews, many of whom have a great opportunity to turn to Jesus, & what they have to say about the Zionist Israel, you will be ignoring a big part of the picture if you don’t.
Well, I pray those Scriptures are a blessing & help us all to unite in a Godly perspective of true Israel. I am nevertheless open to Godly revelations based on Scripture that may share more insight into this subject.
Love in Jesus... Alejandro
