Who is Biblical Israel Today? Updated

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 25 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 

15     The slave woman’s son will never share in 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

21     No one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly

22     All God’s promises have conditions

23     God’s covenant with Israel has the condition of obedience

24     God’s covenant with Israel has the condition of righteous living

25     The Israelites who disobeyed God did not enter the Promised Land
