Six Points That Pertain To Israel According To The Flesh

[Mr. M]

Romans 9:

1 I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, 

2 that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart. 

3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren,

my countrymen according to the flesh,

4 who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, 

the service of God, and the promises; 

5 of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, 

who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.

6 But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect.

For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, 

7 nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham;

but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.” 

8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God;

but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.

The Promise Of The Spirit By Faith

Galatians 3:

15 Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though it is only a man’s covenant,

yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it. 

16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say,

“And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ. 

17 And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later,

cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, 

that it should make the promise of no effect. 

18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise;

but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

 

26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 

27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female;

for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 

29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Hebrews 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them

who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

 

2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, 

let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, 

perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2 Peter 1:

2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 

3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness,

through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 

4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises,

that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature,

having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Hebrews 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them

who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

 

 

13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear

by no one greater, He swore by Himself, 

14 saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” 

15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 

16 For men indeed swear by the greater,

and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. 

17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise 

the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, 

18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie,

we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.

my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh,

Genesis 48:

5 And now your two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were born

to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine;

as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. 

6 Your offspring whom you beget after them shall be yours; they will be

called by the name of their brothers in their inheritance.

 

Jeremiah 31:7 For thus says the Lord:

“Sing with gladness for Jacob,
And shout among the chief of the nations;
Proclaim, give praise, and say,
‘O Lord, save Your people,
The remnant of Israel!’
8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country,
And gather them from the ends of the earth,
Among them the blind and the lame,
The woman with child
And the one who labors with child, together;
A great throng shall return there.
9 They shall come with weeping,
And with supplications I will lead them.
I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters,
In a straight way in which they shall not stumble;
For I am a Father to Israel,
And Ephraim is My firstborn.

20 Is Ephraim My dear son?
Is he a pleasant child?
For though I spoke against him,
I earnestly remember him still;
Therefore My heart yearns for him;
I will surely have mercy on him, says the Lord.

 

[D. Adrien]

It seems Satan believes when he destroys Israel as a nation and Christians as inheritors of the promises, (see Paul's writings), he will have succeeded in stopping God's plan for mankind, thus preventing the final chapters of prophecy which does not fare well for himself.
