“‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

Takeaway:

Israel is our older brother and therefore our hearts reach out to love, bless and pray for them. As realize that we have been grafted into the root of Israel through Christ, we become obedient to God's Word that says to love, bless and pray for Israel. Our hearts reach out to our older brother to see them enter into all that God has for them in this day.

Ron:

All the hubbub that we've been through lately for the last, I don't know how many years, about Israel. All you need to do, if you want to clear it all up, is just read the Scriptures about them. Just read what God said about them, and it just clears it all up. It doesn't matter what people think, I don't care if they like Israel or if they don't like them.

Just go read the Scriptures about Israel, and what God says about them, and it's pretty doggone clear how He feels about them. If you're not concerned about them, if you're not loving them, if you're not praying for them, you're basically saying, I'm going to get this stuff without them. So you're praying for yourself, you're reaching into God, I want to walk with God, I want all this stuff, and God's going, yeah, I want to give you that.

You're not going to get it before your older brothers. So pray for them, because when they get it, you're going to get it. You're going to get everything you're believing for. It changed my prayer life. It put much more of an emphasis in my spirit about what's happening over there, how important it is that we're praying for them, that they're safe, that the Lord's meeting them.

In fact, there should be something that's driven for them, because if you want to be selfish about it, that's the only way you're going to get what you're going to get. It's really the, I believe it's the right way to think. It's God's heart and it is, go back and read some of the prophecies in Ezekiel.

It's all about Israel. And a lot of people, Christians, take those and they spiritualize and say, no, it used to be, but not anymore. It's about me. It's about Christians. No, it's not. He says it right there. Christ grafted us into it, but we can't be like this jealous kid in the family that wants it all and wants to exclude the older brother, wants to be first.

I think that's so prevailing in Christianity. It's all about Christians. It's all about the Body of Christ. In the Body of Christ, they're not including Israel. And they're the very center of it. God said, I will never, ever, forsake them. Even when I discipline them and I put them in other countries, I was still with them.

If you read it for what it says and don't use the supercessionism that Christians do and go, that's me now. No, he didn't say it was you. He said it was them. But we're grafted in if we're part of the family. It's like a dad and his family, younger brothers. Why does he get to do that? Why does he get, and it's he's the older brother you'll get yours.

Don't be jealous. Just go read the book of Ezekiel and read some of the promises and read it for what it says, because it says this promises for Israel and Judah , it doesn't say anything about Christians. Israel and Judah. All these covenants that God made with them that doesn't go away, and they're not going to be replaced.

You can't replace them. Even the covenant that we have with Christ, it doesn't replace the other covenants. It's just another covenant that God made, and we're included.

Ken:

We are definitely connected to our older brother. I don't think there's any denying of that in our hearts. We all love Israel and love the Jewish nation.

How all of that fits, how it all works, I want a revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ in the whole scenario. We are not replacing the Jews. They are called of God there. They have been formed and called by God from the from day one through Abraham. Abraham and Moses - these guys were parts of God's family.

They have been established you know in the Word and the Word doesn't lie It's the truth. Now how it all fits together, I'm still working on that one, guys.

Dale:

We're grafted into them. Everything in the old Testament is our heritage. Everything. And how do we get it? We get it by being grafted into what already exists.

If we can get a revelation of where we fit, it'll just explode the whole Bible to us. Being grafted in is an experience . You can be grafted in now, if you so choose. It's available to us because we know and are understanding where we're fit. We're not replacing the Jews.

Ron:

What's happening all around us out there, the antisemitism, is just everywhere, especially in our colleges.

It's seeping into our schools, and I don't want one iota, not even a sliver, of that leaven to be in my spirit.

Ken:

Think what you're talking about is so important, and loving the Jews is not hard for us. We've been taught to love them. I'm glad you brought this up, because if there is anything in us of that strain, then we need to repent of that and let it go because it doesn't belong in. We are, have been grafted in, and I'm so grateful that we have.

Dale:

The Scriptures are very plain. What I see is God is saying, "I picked out Israel. as my nation to worship Me." Right. And He is willing to graft in the rest of creation. I think there are so many scriptural references to this time. It seems like God is trying to include everybody that take the initiative.

Christ is leading us to be grafted in. It's through Him that we're grafted in. It's through Him that we learn how to fit.

Mike:

One thing that jumped out at me, Dale, as you were talking there, is in Romans 11, Paul goes into great detail talking about how much God has not rejected His people. He says, May it never be, for I, too, am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham of the tribe of Benjamin.

God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Did you hear that? God did not reject His people whom He foreknew. Isn't it interesting in Romans 8, that same phrase comes across to us Gentiles? Whom He foreknew, these He also justified, and who He justified He will glorify. And there's an answer to this here somewhere that will explain to us what is our role in this end time, what is their role in the end time.

There's something in this thing about Him foreknowing us, Him foreknowing them. There's a connection there between the two of us that only I believe comes through the blood of Christ; comes through what He accomplished on the cross.

Dale:

God is doing everything He can according to His Word to save all of creation.

God has a plan. The Scriptures are very plain with that. And it's up to us to fit His plan. And that's where I feel the cycle of the feasts are the salvation of the Jews. And we're grafted into salvation. Christ being born and all the promises with us without the blood of Christ, without Passover, we can't go to the second step.

We can't mature. And without the day of Pentecost, where all the provisions are made available through the Holy Spirit, that is a specific happening. We don't control that. It's up to us to show up and receive what God is offering. It's what He's offering. And then of course, Tabernacles has two or three important parts that God has set up specifically.

And without those parts, we can't go forward. It all boils down to and what God is trying to expose. is those who will worship Him. When you claim your inheritance to Israel and you're grafted in and you come to an understanding of what God wants you to be as one of His chosen people. God is trying to make us into worshipers.

The ultimate possession that I have is my lineage in the Holy Spirit that qualifies me to receive this inheritance. It's like we're putting together a big equation. Sometimes that's the way it looks like in our walk with God that He adds each part of an equation to get to an answer. And it also seems that each part of an equation gives a partial answer.

But as that partial answer leads to a bigger answer. The Jewish people, their promise is that their deliverer will come and they call him Yahshua Messiah. And then in the New Testament, we're taught that there is a second coming. There is so much that God is putting together, we have to walk by revelation.

It's the revelation that God is handing out for anybody who has the heart and the drive and the focus to reach in and get it.

Ken:

I look at what the, who the Jews are and what they've done and that little piece of ground that's Israel. I, and I go. God, what they've done over there, just in that little piece of ground.

What if they had a lot more space and did the same thing? It would even be even greater, wouldn't it? No it's incredible. And there are some of the greatest scientists and some of the greatest people in medicine that come out of the Jewish people. They're blessed. God has blessed His people. And we do give honor to the Jews as our root today.

Honestly, we need to honor and we need to pray for them. We need to hold them up. We need to believe for them, cover them so that they are protected because they are the ones that God is bringing forth. And Christ will be glorified in the Jews. He will be glorified in the Jews.

Dale:

When it comes right down to it, I think that we're finding out, even within America and within our own communities, where people stand in their relationship to God.
