A fact that has been totally overlooked by professing Christendom concerns the people Jesus sent the apostles throughout the world to find and tell about the Kingdom of God, the promises, the covenants, the Law, scepter, the birthright, etc. In Jeremiah 16:16 God promised to send out “fishers” to fish and “hunters” to hunt the […]
Israel And The Church–The Covenant Connection (Pt. 10)
What few church people know and even fewer believe is that JESUS CHRIST CAME TO EARTH ON BEHALF OF ISRAEL. Jesus made this clear in Matthew 15:24 when He said: “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” In Luke 24:21 we read that Jesus came to bring redemption to […]
Israel And The Church–The Covenant Connection (Pt. 9)
What only a minutely few God-seekers realize is that the Word–the God of the Old Testament (Jn. 1:1-4,14)–came to earth to bring salvation to Israel, along with those Gentiles who would become spiritual Israelites by obeying His Law. In order to make keeping His Law easier, He would write it in the hearts of those […]
Israel And The Church–The Covenant Connection (Pt. 8)
The Word (Jn. 1:1-4,14)–the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob–has come to earth as Jesus of Nazareth. Having brought His saving gospel to the Jews of Judea and having been rejected by them, He has willingly died for the sins of all mankind. But before leaving the earth He has assigned 12 men to take […]
Israel And The Chruch–The Covenant Connection (Pt. 7)
It is at this point that we come to an important truth relative to the connection between ancient Israel established by Jesus Christ at Mt. Sinai–the church in the physical wilderness of the Middle East– and the New Covenant Church established by Him at Jerusalem–the church in the spiritual wilderness of the Middle East. See […]
Israel And The Church–The Covenant Connection (Pt. 6)
Israel And The Church–The Covenant Connection (Pt. 6). After many generations the children of Israel proved to the Almighty that, with the exception of a few individuals, they would not obey His Ten Commandment Law. First Israel (the 10 northern tribes living in the land of Samaria) was defeated and enslaved in Assyria. Some […]
Israel And The Church–The Covenant Connection (Pt. 5)
Just as God predicted, Israel rebelled against Him, thereby revealing once again the power Satan wields over unregenerate mankind. Israel, though super religious, was no match for the devil because she believed that, being biological children of Abraham, she was guaranteed spiritual success with God and therefore did not need to obey Him. The Old […]
Israel And The Church–The Covenant Connection (Pt. 4)
This posting deals with Israel’s relationship with the two Laws of God: The eternal, moral Ten Commandment Law as voiced and recorded in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5, and “the law that was added because of transgressions” (refusal to keep the Ten Commandments–sin) as noted in Galatians 3:19. The honest God-seeker will believe what Moses […]
Israel And The Church–The Covenant Connection (Pt. 3)
What all who would be God’s people (children of Abraham) must understand is that membership in God’s family is neither instantaneous nor automatic. The Jews of Jesus’ day believed that because they were the biological descendants of Abraham they were automatically God’s spiritual people. Jesus showed them that they were wrong. As we are told […]
Israel And The Church–The Covenant Connection (Pt. 2)
In this posting we will examine three passages of Scripture that address the fact that the 12 Tribes of the House (nation) of Israel were chosen by God to become His people. In Genesis 28:13-15 we find Him speaking to Jacob, the grandson of Abraham and son of Isaac, concerning the two sons of Joseph– […]
