Concerning Rom. 11:25-32. '"all Israel shall be saved"
The key verse to understand this group of verses is: "And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer,and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob." Has the deliverer come? Yes! Has He turned ungodliness from Jacob? Here is the key question and the problem? We know that by the Spirit in our hearts that prophecy cannot fail. We know if God said He will turn ungodliness from Jacob, then He will do it. God gave us these prophecies hundreds of years before the Jesus' day. If we consider the Jews of today as Israel, then it appears that the prophecies concerning "all Israel shall be saved" have failed. God forbid. We know that is false. We Know that Jesus the Deliverer has come! Hiw word on the Cross and His Resurrection is complete. He has taken upon Himself the sins of all men!! So, the question is, Why are their people who called themselves Jews today who have not been saves?? Does the presents of these antichrist and unsaved modern Jews contradict Gods' prophecy that "the deliverer shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob". If the modern Jews are really from Jacob, then it appears that the prophecy has failed, but if these modern Jews are not really Jews but rather only those "who say they are Jews and are not, but are the Synagogue of Satan." as is written the Rev. 2:9 and 3:9. I struggled with these verses for years until the Lord revealed His truth. God answers the question in His Word. Turn to Rom. Ch.9 and read verses 4-8 carefully. Verse 6 unfolds the mystery. "Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. FOR THEY ARE NOT ALL ISRAEL WHICH ARE OF ISRAEL: When the light of this verse first hit me, I saw the whole picture. Notice verse 8, "That is , They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed." Now turn to Gal.,3:16: Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ". God is telling us that there are true Israelites and there are false Israelites. The way to recognize the True Israelites who are in the New Covenant is to find those with the Faith of Abraham which is FAITH in Jesus. This is the key to finding the Ture Israelite in the Old Testament as well as the New. Whoever has the Faith of Abraham are the People of God. It has never been a racial thing but alwaysa spiritual thing. WOW-----Who are the children of the Promise-- Those who have Faith in Jesus. Now turn to Rom.11 and read verses 1-6. The Holy Spirit begins by "I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid." The only people God has ever had are those who have had and have the Faith of Abraham. Now turn to verse 5. "Even so then at this present time also there are many according to the election of grace." IT IS THAT REMNANT THAT IS "ALL OF ISRAEL" PRAISE God, THAT IS THE ANSWER TO THE MYSTERY!!! Just as in the days of Elijah there were only 7000 TRUE ISRAELITES-men of faith- So in the days of Jesus there was all a Remnanat that were the True Israel of God.(several hundred thousand Jews became Christians in the first century). Turn now to verse 7. "What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded." All of the True Israelites in the generation of Jews during Jesus's ministry were saved. This was the first wave of salvation--The Apostles and the disciples that the inner group were all Jews. Then as the Apostles and disciples began to preach, tens of thousands of Jews were saved as recoded by Acts. There were several thousands saved in one day when Peter preached his famous sermon in Acts Ch. 2. Read verse 40. "Then they that gladly received his word were baptized; and the same day there were added unto them about thress thusand souls." This verse gives us a glimpse of "ALL ISRAEL' in the process of being saved. These waves of Jewish conversion continued until the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD---this was the official end of the OLD COVENANT and the end of Old Testament Judaism. We can see in the Scriputres that many many tens of thousands were being saves. In ch 4 verse 32 it calls them a multitude. Turn to Acts 6:7. "and a great company of the priests were obedient o the faith." We know if a great company of priests had been coverted that their must have been tens of thusands of Jews being converted. After these ALL OF TRUE ISRAEL were converted, they went out and bagan to convert the whole world. It was these Jewish Apostles that went into the pagan Rome and pagan Greece and pagan Europe etc. and converted our ancestors. Praise God--God's Word has been fulfilled perfectly for these with ears. All Israel Has been saved and ungodliness has been turned away from the True Jacob. Going back to our original verse "and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob". The Lord Jesus Christ achieved this by dying on the Cross for the sins of Jacob and all mankind and was rasided for their Justification . When the true Jews the true sons of Jacob accepted Jesus their ungodliness was turned away. The bad figs rejected Jesus and were destroyed as the old Temple Judaims of the Old TEstament. After the conversion of the true Israelites or true Jews, the real Jews separated themselves from the false Jews and through the power of the Holy Spirit, established the Church. The The Jews that rejected Jesus, the bad figs in Jeremiah's prophecy, went ahead and established what God calls "THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN" in Rev 2;9 and 3:9. Since God had destroyed the Temple, the Priesthood, the Genealogies, the Ark of the Covenant and all the Temple furniture, the old Temple Judaism no longer existd. The NEW COVENANT in Jesus' blood had replaced the OLD COVENANT. The OLD COVENANT was now dead just like the Old Covenant Temple religion. There was simply no more nead for a worldly kingdom, a worldly king or the animal sacrifices for sin because the eteranl King, High Priest, and eternal sacrifice was alive and sitting on His throne sprinking the heavenly mercy seat and heavenly Ark of the Covenant with the Blood of the eternal Lamb of God. Hebrews 8:13 "In that he saith, a new covenant, he hath made the first old, Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away." The old Covenant has indeed vanished away and been relplaced with the glorious NEW COVENANT in JESUS' BLOOD. ------------------------ Romans 2
28: For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29: 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. ------------------------- Galatians 3
16: Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. -------------------------- Galatians 3 29: And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. --------------------------- |
