They are not all Israel, which are of Israel
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Holy Bible, Romans 9:1-8 KJV
Halleluia for the pure written words of God, and where would we be without God’s Spirit to reveal their meaning?
In outer darkness, lost forever, confused, and arguing instead of following The Truth.
Here we have clarity, definitive eternal facts that will never be gainsaid. Amen.
Love Your Enemies
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
Luke 6:27-28 KJV
If you call yourself a Christian, yet support the massacre of innocents by the State of Israel, if you injudiciously endorse the ongoing genocide by misapplying Scripture, you have forsaken the narrow path to wander in the desert of sin, and darkness.
You’ve crippled your fellowship with Father God, and with; hardened heart, deaf spiritual ears, and demonically blinded spiritual eyes, yielded to Satan, in whom there is no light.
Shame on You
The Pharisees had brute ignorance as an excuse for their betrayal of Christ to the enemy.
But if you lay claim to; know, love, and hear the Living God: The LORD Jesus Christ, you thereby condemn yourself , and validate His words. Jn. 8:41-47 KJV;
Ye do the deeds of your father.
Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
Moral Hand-wringing
There’s no compromise between; light and darkness, right and wrong, no moral fence to sit on, as we witness the destruction of Palestine, and its people; Jew, Arab, Christian, Muslim, or atheist infidels.
God alone, Our Creator, has the right to end a human life: Not me, nor you, whomever you are.
As I write, the satanic fruit of the latest Zionist onslaught upon Gaza, is over 15,000 Palestinians murdered indiscriminately, 75% of whom are innocent children and women.
Revenge is as Evil as Genocide
The Hamas fighters who broke out of the Gaza prison camp on October 7th. 2023, in which they had been born and illegally incarcerated all their lives, in revenge, inflicted a humiliating defeat on the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) of zionist conscripts.
It has since become clear, that the majority of the 1500 dead, claimed by IDF propaganda, were in fact killed by Israeli weaponry, not Hamas bullets.
The Israeli military chose to fire on targets, full knowing Israeli hostages were inside fleeing vehicles and besieged buildings. Regardless, tank shells and Apache helicopter “Hellfire” missiles were used to roast occupants alive, rather than suffer the ignominy of future prisoner exchanges. Such is official military “Hannibal” policy in these situations. (The Carthaginian General, who took his own life, rather than surrender to the Roman enemy.)
Mercy Rejoiceth Against Judgment
The compassion of Christ is always on display in believers who’ve not been duped by media propaganda, and wayward preachers’ mindless support for zionism.
Listen to The LORD, not men.
Get your teaching from The Holy Ghost, not TV, and half-baked pastors.
It is the Spirit of God who leads into all truth, not your pastor, CNN, BBC, or Al Jazeera!
Realise that Christ weeps over Muslim mothers clutching mangled dead babies, as much as He weeps over hard-hearted Jews in Jerusalem rejoicing as Gaza’s innocents are martyred in full view of the world.
Father God grieves over the Nazi Jewish Holocaust just as He does over the Israel inflicted Palestinian Holocaust.
They are not all Israel, which are of Israel
They are not all Jews that call themselves Jews, Holy Bible, Revelation 3:9 KJV;
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Understand, Holy Scripture makes clear that it is not flesh, ie. genetic descent, that makes a Jew or Israelite, rather the Abrahamic Promise is to all who are of the faith of Abraham, and Isaac.
Nobody, no Jew, nor Israeli who denies the Lordship of Jesus Christ has any hope of Heaven, they condemn themselves by denying the Only Messiah: Almighty God manifest in The Flesh.
Jesus taught those attending to His words, whilst his flesh-family were clamouring at the door trying to shut Him up, Luke 8:19-21 KJV;
Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
Hear Him, do as He does, and walk in God’s Love toward everyone, especially enemies.
Call for an immediate cease-fire and dialogue.
Amen
