“But you, Israel, My servant,
Jacob whom I have chosen,
Descendant of Abraham My friend,
You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,
And called from its remotest parts
And said to you, ‘You are My servant,
I have chosen you and not rejected you.
‘Do not fear, for I am with you;
Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’” (Isaiah 41:8-10 NASB)
Who is biblical Israel today? What do the Scriptures teach on this?
“But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but ‘Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.’ This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring.” Romans 9:6-8 ESV
“Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, ‘And to seeds,’ as one would in referring to many, but rather as in referring to one, ‘And to your seed,’ that is, Christ. Galatians 3:16 NASB
“If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” Galatians 3:29 NIV
“…His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility... For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.” Eph. 2:15-18 NIV
“This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.” Ephesians 3:6 ESV
“Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.” 1 Jn. 2:22
More: [Genesis 17:7-9; Genesis 18:19; Matthew 21:43; John 8:18-19,38-47; Romans 2:28-29; Romans 9:4-8; Romans 11:17-25; 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Galatians 3:16,26-29; Galatians 4:22-31; Ephesians 2:11-22; Ephesians 3:6; Colossians 3:12-15; Titus 2:14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-16; Hebrews 8:6-13; 1 Peter 2:9-10; 1 John 2:22; Jude 1:5; Revelation 2:9; Revelation 3:9]
In summary, it is not those who call themselves “Israel,” as a political nation, who are biblical Israel. It is all who believe in Jesus Christ with God-gifted faith in him who are biblical Israel today (both Jew and Gentile). We who belong to Christ are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise. For in Jesus’ death and resurrection he destroyed the barrier that stood between Jew and Gentile and he made us one people of God via genuine faith in Jesus Christ. And that faith requires that we deny self, die to sin, and follow our Lord Jesus in walks of obedience to his commands, in the power of God.
[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Acts 26:18]
And we live in this world in a time of utter chaos when so many things are pointing straight to Revelation 13 and all the promises regarding the events of these last days before the return of Christ. If our eyes are open to seeing what is going on in our world, we can’t miss how many parallels there are to the prophesies of Scripture with regard to the events of these last days. Things are looking really bad, and the world is not going in a good direction. And we have political leaders who act like they are gods who have the right to covet and to steal and to murder in order to get what they want.
And if we are serving the Lord Jesus Christ with our lives, which will be evident by the things that we think and speak and do, in practice, and if we have died to sin, and if we are walking in obedience to our Lord’s commands, and if we are spreading the good news of the biblical gospel of Christ, we will be hated. We will be rejected, cast aside as unwanted, mocked, ignored, persecuted, falsely accused, lied about, falsely arrested, put in prison, and/or put to death because of our walk of faith. But we are not to fear what is coming, for our God will help us through it all. We just have to trust him.
