WHICH GENTILES ARE GRAFTED INTO THE OLIVE TREE

[douge]

Romans 9:24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

In Romans 9 through 11 Paul is speaking of the remnant of Israel and not the body of Christ, the church in this dispensation. The remnant of Israel was not comprised only of Jews, but Gentiles as well.

9:25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.

God was speaking to Israel in Hosea 2:23 and saying that Israel was not his people, believing Israel was; this can be seen in 1 Peter 2:10 as well.

9:26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.

God was speaking in Hosea 1:9-10 of the believing remnant of Israel.

9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:

God said in Isaiah 10:20-22 that the remnant of Israel would be saved.

The Gentiles in Romans 9:24 above are the Gentiles who are members of the remnant of Israel. It is this remnant that is spoken of in the surrounding verses.

The Gentiles grafted into the good olive tree in Romans 11:17 are the Gentiles who are part of the believing remnant of Israel.

Douge can I share something? You can take it with a grain of salt but.. it is true and fits here perfectly.

I was listening to One for Israel (Youtube) and I was crying like a baby hearing how Jewish people found Christ. But.. what started to get to me was many of them when talking about Chrisitians would say "thats MY God they have".. I know but... I started to feel as if I got some left over of God. As if I am on the outside.

So that night I asked the Father.. I wanted Him to tell me He loved me just as much as any Jewish person. So I lol tried to picture a Jewish person to my left and then Christ in the center. ALL I wanted to hear Jesus say "I Love you just as much". And yes duh I didn't think anything would happen. But.. I was truly asking from my heart. Sad but this was not the first time I felt like this.

So no sooner then did I try to picture it.. it came to life. This hand comes down with the most beautiful tree. It was a beautiful light yet dark brown. WOW It had SO many branches on it. What was strange was every branch looked like a "U". He places it between us and says "Show me a branch that was not originally of the vine. I am the vine you are the branches". It took me a long time to figure out what He meant by "originally". Some branches were originally there? I still not sure.. I think they are Israel. Those that believe in Him.

So when I told my oldest son about this it was he that said "the tree sound like Menorah". YES! put that word in Google and amp that up like a tree! They say.. God never does anything just by chance that everything he does has a reason.. why have the tree look like that? I can't tell you how that tiny tree had just TONS of branches on it.

But.. haha.. look how GOD answered me. I ONLY wanted to hear "I LOVE YOU JUST AS MUCH" Yet.. look how He answered. It was perfect.

Salvation is Only through faith in Jesus.

There is no salvation because one is an obedient to the laws and traditions of Judaism.

The obedient Jew is a follower of Jesus.

 

Go knows those he has chosen and ledger and just as Elijah complained only he was left, only to learn that God had kept seven thousand who had not missed Baal so at the last day that same remnant, the total and final number of saved messianic Jews will be found in heaven.
