Who is Biblical Israel Today?

The physical nation of Israel is at the forefront in the news right now. But there are many misconceptions among those who believe in Jesus Christ as to who biblical Israel is in the Messianic age and in these last days before the return of Christ. So, I pray that all who profess faith in Jesus Christ would take the time to read the noted Scriptures here, from which come the following 20 statements on who Biblical Israel is today.

 

Who is Biblical Israel Today?

 

1.   Not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel

2.   Not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring

3.   It is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God

4.   The children of the promise are God’s offspring

5.   The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed

6.   And to your seed, that is, Christ

7.   If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed

8.   If you belong to Christ, you are heirs according to the promise

9.   God made the Jews and the Gentiles one by faith in Christ

10 Gentile believers in Jesus are fellow heirs with Jewish believers

11 We are members of the same body if we believe in Jesus Christ

12 Who is the antichrist? All who deny that Jesus is the Christ

13 The city of Jerusalem is now of Hagar, the slave woman

14 The Jews who do not believe in Jesus are still in slavery to sin

15 The slave woman’s son will never share the inheritance

16 We who believe in Jesus are of the free woman (Sarah)

17 Through Christ both Jew and Gentile have one access to God

18 We who believe in Jesus are the Israel of God

19 God has made us one with Israel via faith in Jesus Christ

20 One with all those who also believe in Jesus Christ

Oh, to Be Like Thee, Blessed Redeemer

 

Lyrics by Thomas O. Chisholm, 1897

Music by W. J. Kirkpatrick, 1897

 

Oh, to be like Thee! blessèd Redeemer,

This is my constant longing and prayer;

Gladly I’ll forfeit all of earth’s treasures,

Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.

 

Oh, to be like Thee! full of compassion,

Loving, forgiving, tender and kind,

Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting,

Seeking the wandering sinner to find.

 

O to be like Thee! lowly in spirit,

Holy and harmless, patient and brave;

Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,

Willing to suffer others to save.

 

O to be like Thee! while I am pleading,

Pour out Thy Spirit, fill with Thy love;

Make me a temple meet for Thy dwelling,

Fit me for life and Heaven above.

 

Oh, to be like Thee! Oh, to be like Thee,

Blessèd Redeemer, pure as Thou art;

Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;

Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.
