Without any doubt, the Servant of the Lord is the Lord Jesus Christ. Yet, Christ is Jacob and Israel. Because we Gentiles in whom Christ has been born are an integral part of Christ, being His Body, we therefore are an integral part of Jacob and Israel.

What is the work of Christ, the Servant of the Lord? The work of Christ is in three areas:

I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, Thou art my people. (Isaiah 51:16)

Plant the heavens.

Lay the foundations of the earth.

Say to Zion, "Thou art my people."

The Lord Jesus is of the physical land and people of Israel in every earthly respect, and all true Christian saints are one with the Lord Jesus.

And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Galatians 3:29)

The destiny of Christ is to fill all things.

That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: (Ephesians 1:10)

Yet, Christ always is Israel—the Servant of the Lord.

The Lord Jesus Christ is planting the heavens with Himself and with those whose life He is—the spirits of righteous people made perfect (Colossians 3:4; Hebrews 12:23).

The Lord Jesus Christ and His saints will lay the foundations of the earth. The kingdoms of the world will become theirs.

The Lord Jesus speaks to Zion, to the elect, Jewish and Gentile, and says, "You are my people."

The Lord Jesus is all things. He is the Servant of the Lord. Yet, He is Jacob; He is Israel.

The Divine salvation is one revelation of God through Christ. It is thoroughly Jewish with respect to its political aspects in the earth. There is no Gentile Kingdom, no Gentile salvation. There only is the one salvation, one Olive Tree, one light of the world—the new Jerusalem.

Satan is attempting to guide the churches to a destiny in the spirit world, in the heavens—the realm from which Satan came. Satan's desires are in the earth. He is the god of this age and hopes to perpetuate his rule over the nations.

If Satan could move the entire Church to Heaven, to the spirit realm, he would do so. The sooner the churches are "raptured," to borrow a term from the current error, the happier Satan would be.

But this would be to retreat to the conditions prior to the creation of the heaven and the earth, to a lesser state, to a veiled existence.

Satan's fear is that Jesus and the saints will return to Jerusalem and destroy Satan's influence among the nations.

. . . and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. (Zechariah 14:5)

This is why the False Prophet (the spirit of religious delusion), ever the supporter of Antichrist, has deluded the believers in the Lord Jesus into believing they are separate from the Jews, that they are a special "heavenly kingdom" with a destiny somewhere other than the earth.
