The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Olive Tree
And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; (Romans 11:17)
There is only one Divine Olive Tree—the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Olive Tree spoke to Abraham and he left Ur with his family.
By prophesy the Olive Tree continued in Isaac, Jacob, and the twelve sons of Jacob.
The Olive Tree continued with the Jews until Christ's death and resurrection. Then the Olive Tree passed to a remnant of Jews and a remnant of Gentiles.
The majority of Jews were broken off from the Olive Tree when Jesus Christ came, revealing that the Olive Tree is not physical Israel. The Jews were not broken off from physical Israel.
Paul tells us that the elect Gentiles were removed from the wild olive tree and grafted in among the branches of the cultivated Olive Tree.
Paul tells us also that after the full number of elect Gentiles have become part of the Olive Tree God will remove the ungodliness from the physical Jews and graft them back into their own tree.
In this manner all Israel will be saved, meaning all of those whom God has chosen to be part of the Olive Tree.
Olive oil is a type of the Holy Spirit of God. All who are part of the Olive Tree are part of Christ, part of the One who possesses the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
We see therefore that true Israel, including the elect Jews and Gentiles, are the body of the Christ, the fullness of the Olive Tree.
We all are baptized into the one body of Christ, whether we are Jews or Gentiles. Paul teaches clearly that in the last days God will turn again to physical Israel, take away their sins, and restore them to their own Olive Tree.
The Jews of today are not the Olive Tree unless they have been born again in Jesus Christ. Jerusalem on earth is under the bondage of the Law of Moses. The Jerusalem in Heaven is Sarah, the mother of us all.
There is only the one Seed of Abraham—Christ, the one anointed with the Holy Spirit.
Let each Christian do everything in his power to comfort and encourage the Jewish people. We Gentiles have treated them badly in time past. Let us realize God has not forgotten His original chosen people and has promised, both in the Old Testament and the New, that He will turn to them again and remove their sin.
What rejoicing there will be when the Jews receive their Christ! How glad Christ will be!
Let the wicked tremble for they soon will be driven from the earth.
Welcome home, Jewish people. The Gospel of Christ is your bread, your salvation. We Gentiles are as Asenath, standing by while the great Joseph delivers His people. We rejoice with you for we, through our marriage to Christ, are now an integral part of Israel.
Shalom, friends!
