Revisiting Spiritual Israel

It's a widely held Christian belief that all people who just love God and accept Christ into their hearts automatically become Spiritual Israel. Of course when you ask any Judeo-Christian that actually teaches this, where in the Bible does it say that if anyone at all accepts Christ into their heart they become Spiritual Israel, or where is there an example of Christ walking around asking random people  to accept him into their heart for them to become spiritual Israel, they usually give you the deer in the headlight stare and do not have a remote idea on where to begin to support such an idea.

I am revisiting the topic of Spiritual Israel today, because I have talked to a lot of people lately that are just parroting the lies told in the Judeo-Churches. They claim true Biblical Israel has ceased to exist and now God has a Spiritual Israel. They teach that anyone who accepts Christ automatically become some sort of Spiritual Israel. Anyone that is familiar with my blog will know that I believe that the actual literal physical Israelites of the Bible still exist and are with us today. They are found in the kindred people bordering the North shore of the Mediterranean Sea, Northward including into the fertile valleys of Europe and other places on the planet. I have posted about Spiritual Israel  a couple of years ago, but believe I need to talk about it again. 

In the spirit of fairness, I am going to try to help the ones that teach Spiritual Israel. I am going to try to present the case that most Judeo-Christian churches would give for this premise if they had an idea of where to start looking. If I forget anything, or misrepresent anything, then I want to have people correct me in the comment section. I am open to correction. I am not open to verbal abuse.

The verses that should be used by those who parrot the Spiritual Israel doctrine should include the following:

And he said unto them, go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Mark 16:15

People who promote the doctrine of Spiritual Israel believe that because this verse says "every creature" then it's telling us that everyone can become Israel that can stand up on two legs and repeat the sinners prayer.

This verse is really explaining that if an Israelite is without Christ then they are only another creature in the eyes of God. If they become a new creation in the eyes of the Father then all things become new and they literally become kings and priests taking their proper place in an awaiting world, waiting for the laws of God to set them free. See the parable of the lost son in Luke 15:11-32.

If you actually believe that the Messiah actually meant for his Apostles to literally preach to every creature in creation that can stand up and walk around on two legs, then obviously that would include primates. The picture to the left is of a gorilla named Koko. Koko learned to sign almost 1,200 words, which is about 1,000 more than kids do under Common Core in public schools  today. If you were to take Mark 16:15 literally then you should teach Koko the sinners prayer and then Koko will become saved from hell, right? I read in an article online that Koko once told its handlers, that the sink in the house where Koko lived was torn off the wall and thrown through a plate glass window by a 3 week old kitten. If this gorilla can sin by coming up with a story to blame a kitten for its actions, then it will undoubtedly be able to understand the concept of going to heaven, or burning in hell forever, right? OK, so now who's going to be the first to step forward and become a gorilla missionary?

Continuing on a little more serious note...

One law shall be to him that is home born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.

Exodus 12:49

This verse is addressed to Israel only. There is no place in this passage to indicate that it is addressed to Non-Israelites. It's telling Israel that anyone who lives among them are to follow the same laws of Yahweh. This law does not allow for foreigners to commit capital crimes and then be deported under diplomatic immunity. In God's Kingdom and under God's laws diplomats that commit capital crimes will get deported alright, but not in the way they hope.

But he is a Jew (Judaite), 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 2:29

The word Jew was never used in the 1611 King James Bible. If you look in an original copy of the 1611 King James Bible you will not find the word “Jew.” It did not exist before 1800 A.D. And it wasn't until the mid 1800's (about the same time that John Darby created the rapture doctrine) when bibles were being mass produced, then we started to see it. This word has been added into revised versions of the King James Bible over time. I will give you one guess who owned the publishing houses in the 1800's and now. Hint: it's the same answer to both questions. This verse is not telling us that if you feel like a Judaite then you are one, but rather, this verse is telling us that you need to have a true heart for God and it is not just enough to be born into the tribe of Judah or any other Israelite tribe.

...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...

Galations 3:28

and...

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

1 Corinthians 12:12-13

The two verses above are commonly used an attempt to show that it doesn't matter if you are a Jew (Judaite) or non-Judaite. Judeo-Christians that promote the “Spiritual Israel” concept are trying to tell you that anyone can become God's chosen even if your a Non-Judaite (Greek or Gentile). Read these verses carefully, it talks about Judaites or Greeks, bond or free. If you read the verses closely then you will realize that the Judaites, Greeks, Bonded, and Free are all the same people. Let me explain a little better. The Southern house of Judah was bonded under the laws of Yahweh. However, the divorced Northern house of Israel was free from the law because of their unwillingness to follow God's laws. In other words: Judah= Bonded, divorced Israel= free.

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 11:11

The word Gentile as explained, means “nations” as I have explained before in other posts. The word Gentile was never, ever, translated to mean a non-Jew (Non-Judaite). So salvation did come to the “Nations” that were composed of Israelites that were from the divorced Northern house, and remember that Abraham was promised a multitude of nations would come through him, to Issac, and eventually through Jacob.

...and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree,

Romans 11:17

This verse is often used to show that Father Yahweh in his mercy grafted non-Israelites into the olive tree which represents Israel. There is one fact that we should keep in mind, and that is: only an olive tree branch can be grafted into an olive tree. It is impossible to graft an olive branch onto any other type of tree, this is why the Bible specifically picked an olive tree and not an apple tree for example. So, it's the same family from which the olive branch came. This is best explained in verse 24 of the same Chapter which says: For if thou were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? These branches were grafted into the exact same tree from which they came according to verse 24!

Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel.

Romans 9:6

With this verse the attempt is to show that Israel can consist of others that are not Israel. The real meaning of this verse is that it eliminates non-believing Israelites as being Israelites. Being born as an Israelite is not the only requirement to be Israel. The word Israel means to rule with God or to rule under God's law. Obviously anyone born of Israel that doesn't follow the Father's laws in their own personal life will never, ever, ever rule cities or nations under Yahweh's laws. See Parable of the Pounds; Luke 19:11-27.

Therefore say I unto you, taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

Matthew 21:43

This verse talks about the parable of the Husbandmen that rejected the laws of Yahweh. As a result this destroyed his Kingdom here on earth. The Kingdom was given to the Northern house of Israel and as a result his kingdom has been, and still is, being destroyed through gradualism. Eventually the Messiah will return to reestablish his Stone Kingdom himself and rule over it personally, as we are proving daily that we are not able to do it ourselves. When he reestablishes this kingdom he will rule with a rod of iron. What a glorious day that will be when finally the world will be free!

Praise the Lord!
