The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Olive Tree, #4
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 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: (Romans 11:25,26)
From that time the work of the Lord Jesus among the nations has increased very greatly, in keeping with the prophecy made to Ephraim by his grandfather, Jacob. According to the word of Christ through the Apostle Paul, the Olive Tree will continue with the elect Jews and elect Gentiles until the full number of Gentiles has been grafted on the Olive Tree. Then the Olive Tree will leave the nations and return once again to the physical people and land of Israel.
After God has finished His work among the Gentile nations He will turn once again to the physical descendants of Jacob. He will pour out His Spirit on them, taking away their sins. They will be born again of Christ by a sovereign act of God, just as Saul of Tarsus was born again and commissioned as an apostle before he had a chance to repent and "accept Christ." So will the Jewish people be brought into the Kingdom of God without coming under the power of any ecclesiastical organization of Christians.
Western "Christian" traditions have no place as the Lamb returns to His beloved Israel to receive His Wife.
For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water on you, and ye shall be clean: from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put in you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit in you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. (Ezekiel 36:24-27)
God is turning once again to His ancient people, and the elect Gentiles will be one with them just as Ephraim, who was half-Jewish and half-Egyptian, was absorbed fully into the commonwealth of Israel, his Egyptian blood being ignored.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Galatians 3:28,29)
The Olive Tree, Christ, the Kingdom of God, the new Jerusalem, the Wife of the Lamb, the Body of Christ, Israel, the Church, are all one new Man. There is one body, one Spirit, one hope of our calling, one Lord Jesus, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all who is in us all. There is one royal priesthood, one eternal Temple of God.
