Why are they called Hebrews?

[Jarhead4Jesus]

I've also read that the Gen 14 naming (not in connection to the genealogy) may be from a connection to the city Hebron which was east of the Jordan, possibly Nabatean.

That is an interesting connection, although, Hebron is west of the Jordan river, south of Jerusalem. According to Judges 1:10 it was previously named, Kirjatharba.

You have to realize that to say the land promise matters at the time put you in the league of the zealots and their rebellion against Rome. That is why the land does not matter, in a streetwise sense.

But theologically, God did not reneg because Joshua said twice that all the promise was fulfilled. When David came that promise was fulfilled. That's why neither factor in the official sermon to a synagogue in Acts 13. In fact Paul quotes an Isaiah verse about the transfer of David's to Christ and sees it as fulfilled in the resurrection, which demonstrates that Acts 2:30 was truly about the resurrection not a future kingdom, as the grammar has it.

Then in speaking of the res in Acts 13, he says that all things promised to the patriarchs are fulfilled. If this were not the case (if the resurrection had not superceded), there would have been no after issue with the Jews there, which there was.

This is why Gal 3 does not mention the land; there are not 2 programs going on in the Bible, like Ryrie taught in DISPENSATIONALISM TODAY, there is just one. IF there were two, there would be no conflict between Judaism and Christian faith, but of course there is.

Heb 11 does not mention the land for the same 2 reasons; one that it is totally inappropriate in that generation to put yourself on the side of the zealots and the risks that involved, and a believer had to expect persecution by the zealots not complicity with them! And two because the chapter says twice that the believers never where looking for a land here on earth even though they had it for the sake of the location of Israel in being a hub of 3 continents, for the sake of evangelism. If you can't find these verses, you are missing the pulse of Heb 11. Likewise in Gal 3.

Any normal reading of Gal 3 is that the promise was the opportunity to be Messiah's evangelists to the world. This is why the analogy or allegory is drawn from Isaiah in Gal 4 'shout aloud barren woman' (the believers).

That the land promises matter, puts me in the league of those who believe the Bible. Your 'streetwise sense' doesn't matter.

God's promise of the land was forever. Thus it is never fulfilled until Israel maintains control over it forever. Thus the promise of the land did not end with Joshua or David.

(Gen. 13:15) "For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever."

(Gen. 17:7-8) "And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generatins for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to they seed after thee. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.

(Gal. 3) does not mention the land because the land was not the subject.

You say (Heb. 11) does not mention the land. Then you say (Heb. 11) 'says twice' that believers never were looking for a land on earth. No, (Heb. 11) does not say Abraham was not looking for a land here on earth. It says they looked for a city, a country, whose Builder and Maker is God. (Heb. 11:10) (Heb. 11:16)

Clarification: “it” in the last paragraph is Galatians. No one reading Gal 3-4 or Rom 15 or Acts 13 or Eph 2-3 would ever think the land was meant in the old sense anymore. It’s not even meant by Rom 11’s “saved.” Neither by Isaiah nor by Paul.

It’s not a replacement bc the Abrahamic vision cited by the NT is that the Seed would bless all nations. Rom 4, 9-11, Gal 3, Acts 3.

Re streetwise.
Nothing silly about it. The core issue , life and death, in Judea in that generation was whether to freedom-fight for Israel with the zealots, or to be a missionary for Christ. Increasingly, it would cost you your life in Judea if you did NOT side with the fanatic zealots.

If you don’t know this , you need to completely start over on NT history, issues, tensions, views of Dan 9 which predict it, etc. I have a book on it but am prohibited from referring to it.

Paul has nothing about the land promise that you are talking about, you know. In Acts 26, he says the Jews are still trying to see the promise fulfilled, but actually it already is fulfilled in the resurrection (Acts 2-4, Rom 1, Acts 13, etc).

His knowledge of Hebrew did help but he functioned in Greek for his target audience. The key line is Gal 3:15 where it is not many people meant by the seed, but the one Seed, Jesus Christ, and those who enter through Him, as is the case all through the NT.

Why do you not give the Scripture for the cities you speak of? Also, (Jer. 31:35-37) establishes the nation of Israel forever . Concerning the creation God says, "...If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever."

Lots of chapters in the New Testament say nothing about the land. So? The majority of the New Testament is to the Church, not Israel. The promise of the land is not to the Church. The land promise belongs to the national promises to Israel under the Abrahamic Covenant. (Gen. 12:1-2) "...unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation...."

Except Jesus came to that land and nation of Israel offering the Kingdom. (Matt. 2:6) "And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel." (Matt. 3:1-3) "In those days came John the Baptist, preachin in the wilderness of Judaea, And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Also (Matt. 4:17)

And, during Christ's temptation by Satan, Satan offerred Him the Kingdoms of the World. (Matt. 4:8-9) Which was an offer against the Kingdom of God, which Christ came to establish on earth, in Israel. Again the national promises to Israel involve the land.

The New Testament does follow the promise of land to national Isrel. The promise of the Kingdom offerred to Israel, involves the land promise of the Abrahamic Covenant. See the Gospels, and especially (Matthew). Also (Rom 9-11).

Paul does talk about the land promises. When he speaks of national Israel he is talking about the land and nation of Israel as promised to Abraham. See (Rom. 9-11). (Rom. 9:4) (Rom. 9:6-10) (Rom. 11:1-2) (Rom. 11:25)

I see why you don't like to give the verses of many of the Bible references you give. Paul in (Acts 26) does not say the Resurrection has fuflilled or negated the promises to Israel. He says Israel is still looking for the fulfillment. (Acts 26:6-7) Israel was not wrong in looking for and anticipating the promises of the land and their nation Israel once again being the 'Kingdom of God'. They were wrong in rejecting their King, Jesus.

Explain your references to (Acts 2-4), (Rom. 1), (Acts 13), how that the land and national promises have been fulfilled in the Resurrection.

Paul's knowledge of Hebrew didn't lead him to Christ. Christ blinding him and knocking him to the earth led him to Christ.

You say concerning (Gal. 3:16), "where it is not many people meant by the seed, but the one Seed, Jesus Christ". By which you discount the seed promise to national Israel. But being the 'One Seed', the fulfillment of the Seed promise, does not discount others counted for the seed as you recognize when you say, "and those who enter through Him".

You don't want to count national Israel as also the seed, but you do count the believing in the Church as the seed.

In Gal 3, Paul officially structures Israel's history as stages of Promise--Law--Gospel. There is a problem created by the Judaizers, which is that even though the Promise to the nations was before the Law, the Judaizers are 'voiding and displacing' the Promise through the Law. 3:17.
If you look into these verbs, you will see that this is the actual 'replacement' problem of NT theology, not the modern one which makes so many specious claims about modern Israel.

The Judaizers' theology created the zealot movement (Paul refers generically to the problem of 'zeal for the law' in the letter) and that is why these NT letters and docs are seriously dialed in to what is happening in that generation, ie, why they are 'streetwise' about those events.
