Spiritual Israel

Did you know that the term "Spiritual Israel" was a term used in 1958 by Pope Pius XI? He believed anyone, any race of people that believes in our Messiah, is a Semite. This is a lie. You cannot find the term "Spiritual Israel" in the scriptures. We are talking about a bloodline of a specific people chosen by YAHUAH. Here is your answer for "Spiritual Israel." Let us start in the book of Romans 9:1-3, which reads, "I say the truth in YAHUSHUA, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Ruach Ha'Kodesh, 2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from YAHUSHUA for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh. Paul was from the tribe of Benjamin; he tells us that in the book of Romans 11:1 reads, "I say then, Hath YAHUAH cast away his people? ELOHIM forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin." Reread Romans 9:3; the reader can see that Paul tells you it is according to the flesh. There is no Spiritual Israel; again, this is a bloodline.

In this widely praised exposition of Revelation, George Eldon Ladd treats the Apocalypse as a true prophecy--one that reflects the situation of the church when the book was written as well as the situation the church will face at the time of the consummation of God's redemptive plan.

The Apostle Paul’s negative statements about the law have deafened the ears of many to the grace that Moses proclaims in Deuteronomy. Most Christians have a dim view of this book, which they consider to be primarily a book of laws. However, when we read or hear it read orally without prejudice, we discover that rather than casting Moses as a legislator, he appears as Israel’s first pastor, whose congregation has gathered before him to hear him preach his final sermons. Accordingly, Deuteronomy represents prophetic preaching at its finest, as Moses seeks to inspire the people of God to a life of faith and godliness in response to God’s repeated demonstrations of grace. Deuteronomy is a dead book for many, because we have not recognized this gospel; we have heard only law. The essays in this collection arise from a larger project driven by a passion to recover for Christians the life-giving message of the Hebrew Scriptures in general, and to open their ears to God’s amazing grace in Deuteronomy in particular. The wide-ranging “meditations” in this volume do not all focus equally on the topic of God’s grace, but this theme undergirds them all.

As we see before us a world getting darker and darker, Christians sense an urgency to strengthen our faith, knowing in whom we believe. This study focuses on Jesus Christ, the Son of God, that we might see the invisible and know the unknowable God of heaven. A multitude of names and titles are found in both the Old and the New Testaments. They show a progressive revelation of the Son of God, and of our heavenly Father. We look into the Greek and Hebrew origins to discover amazing truths not seen in the English translation, and bring clarity to the language of the King James Bible (1611), the best expression of God’s Word available to us. A fascinating study for the Christian who wants to look deeper into the Word of God.
