The Daily Word of Righteousness
Israel—Spirit and Flesh, #12
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land. (Jeremiah 23:7,8)
In the present hour God is calling the Jews out from the various nations among which they have been dispersed. The Spirit of God is bringing the Jews back to Israel in preparation for the promised outpouring of the Spirit of God upon them.
The return of the Jews to the land of Israel is of God. The Spirit of God has spoken to a number of devout Christians concerning the Divine plan to bring back the Jews to their own country, adding them to the nation of Israel.
The present move is not to be confused with the Great Commission to teach the nations of the earth. Rather, it is a sovereign move of the Lord God to restore the Jews to their own land in fulfillment of the words of the Prophets.
Several passages of the Scripture speak of the return of the Jews from the nations into which they have gone—nations which in some instances are holding the Jews captive. In the present hour some countries are preventing Jews from emigrating. All Christians must pray that God will fulfill His Word by bringing the Jews out from the nations holding them against their will.
Today is the time for the return of the Jews to their land. The Jews are returning to Israel in fulfillment of the Prophets. The desert is blossoming as the rose.
God is preparing all nations, especially the nation of Israel, for the events of the last days. Even though the return of the Jews to Israel does not appear to be part of the Christian Great Commission, their return is, nevertheless, of Kingdom significance. The restoration of the nation of Israel was declared in advance by the Prophets of Israel. It will occur exactly as written. Woe to the nation that attempts to hinder the Jews as they return home!
The coming to the earth of the Kingdom of God is at hand. The Kingdom of God is the entrance of righteous spiritual life into the physical world.
The Scriptural Concept
Israel is the Servant of the Lord. Israel is God's overcomer, God's warrior. Israel is the only Church of God.
Israel is by promise. The true Seed of Abraham is Christ. We who belong to Christ are the one true Seed of Abraham. There is no seed of Abraham other than Christ and those who are an integral part of Him.
This does not mean that God is through with the physical land and nation of Israel. Physical Israel's greatest day is coming. Meanwhile God is dealing with the remnant of Jews whom He has called. The remnant of Jews, those who have received Christ, are the Israel by Divine promise.
Spiritual Israel Joined with Physical Israel. We who are Gentiles in Christ are as much a part of Israel by promise as are Isaac and Jacob. We look forward to the day when we are joined with physical Israel. Then we shall be of the land and of the people. After all, we Gentiles have no city of our own. If we do not have Jerusalem we have no city on the earth. We have no land unless we have an inheritance in Jacob.
To be continued.
