The promises God made to Abraham were later reiterated to his son Isaac (Gen. 26:1-5), then later to Isaac’s son Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel which means “power with God.” When speaking to Jacob/Israel, God added the blessings of material wealth (Gen. 27:26-29). These blessings would come upon the descendants of Jacob as gained hegemony (influence) over a number of the world’s heathen nations (Gen. 28:23,24) by possessing their natural resources. The future global dominance of Abraham’s descendants is brought out in Genesis 35:11 where God declared the following: “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a NATION and a COMPANY OF NATIONS will come from you, and kings will come from your loins.” We see that God has promised the grandson of Abraham (Jacob) that a singular (all powerful) nation and a world-ruling (commonwealth of) nations would rise up from among Abraham’s descendants.
In that the Bible is written to, for and about the descendants of Abraham, and in that God is addressing those same people in the Book of Revelation which concerns the end of the age, THESE PEOPLE MUST EXIST NOW. The question that has been asked and will be answered is: WHO AND WHERE ARE THEY? It is vitally important for true God seekers to know. For the Almighty will deal with those people either positively or negatively upon His Second Advent. Those Israelites who know who they are and conduct themselves accordingly will be taken to a place of safety where they will be protected and cared for as the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord wreaks havoc on the rest of mankind. Those who refuse to obey God will feel the double wrath of God and Satan for 3 1/2 years. Those Israelites who do not know who they are and live accordingly will suffer through those years of horror along with all Gentiles who will have failed to embrace the Israelites’ God, believe and obey Him. ONLY ISRAELITES WILL BE SPARED THE TERROR TO COME AND WILL RISE TO MEET CHRIST UPON HIS RETURN. THOSE GENTILES WHO EMBRACE THE GOD OF THE ISRAELITES WILL HAVE BECOME SPIRITUAL ISRAELITES BY OBEYING THE PRIMERE JEW–JESUS OF NAZARETH–THROUGH WHOM ALL MUST PASS IN ORDER TO BE SAVED. There will be no Gentiles in the Kingdom of God. Only spiritual Israelites will sit with Jesus on His throne.
For this reason it is important that we know where we stand relative to the Israelite situation. God has divided the world’s population into two groups: Israelites and Gentiles (heathen). A human being is either one or the other. In order to inherit eternal life one must embrace, believe and obey the God of the Israelites by believing and obeying His Instruction Book for Eternal Life called the Holy Bible. This makes one an Israelite. There are no exceptions. L.J.
