God Has Not Cast Away Israel, Why I Support Israel
Romans tells us plainly God has not cast away Israel. This is
speaking plainly of the nation of Israel, not spiritual Israel.
Romans 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God
forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of
the tribe of Benjamin. 2 a God hath not cast away his people
which he foreknew.
Romans warns those who were grafted in [gentiles by faith, who
became part of spiritual Israel] that they should not be haughty.
Romans 11 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the
apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 14 If by any
means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and
might save some of them. 15 For if the casting away of them be
the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them
be, but life from the dead? 16 For if the firstfruit be holy,
the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the
branches. 17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and
thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and
with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou
bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19 Thou wilt say then,
The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20
Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou
standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God
spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare
not thee. 22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God:
on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou
continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be
graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. 24 For if
thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and
wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much
more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into
their own olive tree?
Romans tell us of the blindness of Israel towards the Messiah.
This will continue until the "fulness of the Gentiles has come
in".
Romans 11 7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he
seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest
were blinded 8 (According as it is written, God hath given them
the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears
that they should not hear;) unto this day. 9 And David saith,
Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a
stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: 10 Let their eyes be
darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God
forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the
Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Romans 11 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be
ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own
conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until
the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Romans tell us all Israel will be saved as it is written.
Romans 11 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is
written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall
turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27 For this is my covenant
unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 28 As concerning
the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the
election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. 29 For the
gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 30 For as ye in
times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy
through their unbelief: 31 Even so have these also now not
believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. 32
For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have
mercy upon all. 33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom
and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and
his ways past finding out! 34 For who hath known the mind of the
Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? 35 Or who hath first
given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? 36 For
of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be
glory for ever. Amen.
The Gospel is the power of God unto Salvation to the Jew first,
then the Gentile [Greek]!
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for
it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that
believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
The Jew will join with the Gentile, by faith, in Gods kingdom.
Romans 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the
Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call
upon him. Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there
is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for
ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Colossians 3:11 Where there is
neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision,
Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in
all.
The nature of the Jew and the gentile, both are brought to God
the same way. Neither one has it over the other, for all are
under sin. But God loves them all, and through Yeshua {Jesus,
Iesous} he will save them all.
Romans 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly;
neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Romans 2:29 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 3:1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is
there of circumcision? Romans 3:9 What then? are we better than
they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and
Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
Romans 3:29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of
the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
Romans 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the
Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call
upon him.
1 Corinthians 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks
seek after wisdom:
1 Corinthians 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the
Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
1 Corinthians 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews
and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
This is why I pray for Israel's Salvation, I also pray for the
peace of Jerusalem. I know however, that peace will only come to
Jerusalem when Yeshua HaMassiach will arrive.
I urge, therefore all men to pray for this. the Salvation of
the Jew and the Gentile. For we have brothers that are both Jew
and Gentile. The Gentiles are all races other than the Jews.
