Who is Israel?

Who is the Israel of God?

Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called Romans 9:4-7.

In Isaac signifies the children of faith {Galatians 4:23; Galatians 3:16; Galatians 3:29} which are Abraham's descendants according to promise.
That which is born of the Spirit is spirit John 3:6. Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God John 1:13.

Abraham's descendants are:
#1. The children of faith
#2. The children of the flesh.

This is the Israel of God.

For in Christ Jesus neither Jew nor Gentile prevails, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God {Galatians 6:15-16}.

The Israel of God is as many that are a New Creature.

Esaias {Isaiah} also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea {multitudes of people; Nations}, a remnant shall be saved Romans 9:27.

Isaiah prophecy,

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness. For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land Isaiah 10:20-23.

The remnant decreed in all the world is the 144,000, these are the Israel of God whom are sealed.

I {John} saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand Revelation 7:1-8.
    
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness Romans 4:3.

Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed Galatians 3:6-8.
 
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith Galatians 3:14. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ Galatians 3:16.

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

For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh Philippians 3:3.
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God Romans 2:28-29.

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ Galatians 4:4-7.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God Romans 8:14.

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 1John 5:5.
  
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son Revelation 21:7.

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith 1John 5:4.

Now, we are all One Blood.

God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations {Acts 17:24-26}.

Jesus Christ having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of the two {Jew & Gentile} one new man {a New Creature}, so making peace {Ephesians 2:15}. There is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all Colossians 3:11. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus {Galatians 3:28}.

Here is a description of the New Creation {New Man}.

As we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly 1Corinthians 15:49.

For this corruptible {mortal human} must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality 1Corinthians 15:53.

We shall change in the twinkling of an eye and we shall become immortal, a New Creation, we shall put on a heavenly, spiritual body which is immortal and not of this earth. Now we are the sons of God, it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know when he appears we will be like Jesus Christ {1John 3:2}. 

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night {when all the world is blinded by Satan; Isaiah 60:2; 2Corinthians 4:4}; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up {shall be consumed by the Spirit of his mouth; 2Thessalonians 2:8}. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless 2Peter 3:10-14.

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming 2Thessalonians 2:8.

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God 2Thessalonians 2:4.

An angel {Jesus Christ} come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season Revelation 20:1-3.

But the rest of the dead lived not again {will not resurrected from the grave} until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years Revelation 20:5-6.      

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful Revelation 21:5.
