Israel = ChristianTouché.
I think my real question is if Israel=Church
*Why are there curses laid upon Israel for disobedience (Deut 28) and not the Church? (at least not to the same extent).
*Why has God earmarked and preserved the Jews even through persecutions over millennia, but not others?
*In the Church, we are all Priests unto God, whereas in Israel one had to be born a Levite.
*Church; we are sealed by His Spirit, Israel; no mention of that (to my knowledge) for Israel
*Israel, circumcision of males only/Church baptizes males and females.
*Israel-Saturday Sabbath; Church-everyday sabbath
*Israel-Law outward; Church-Law inward
(just some struggles I have when called upon to equate Israel with the Church.)
God is not a racist .He is not a sinner . .he is not a man neither is he served by the hands of dying mankind .as if the Potter needed anything from the clay
The new name he named his bride the church . Christian. . A more befitting name to name the bride of all nation. Previously calling her Israel (he who wrestles with man empowered by God as one that has overcome . Not all Israel are born again Christians the new name he named the bride in Acts. .
Genesis 32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
Previously called Jacob the deceiver. The strange women spoken of .The false prophets, false apostles .
Proverbs 2:16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
Proverbs 5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
Proverbs 5:20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
Just as not all the name the name Christ are empowered by God as Christian .
Christian = residents of the city of Christ (.prepared for his wife) .Named after the husband and founder of the city Christ
Isaiah 62King James Version62 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.
A wile of the father of lies . What the invisible Holy Father calls one .The legion calls many . What God calls many he calls one.
This is in order to remove the unseen spiritual understanding . we look to the unseen eternal. . not dying mankind .
