NEW COVENANT SEED

THIS ARTICLE PROVES THAT UNDER THE NEW COVENANT, TRUE SPIRITUAL ISRAEL AND THE REAL SEED OF ABRAHAM ARE THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN YAHUSHA ALAHIM AND ARE SPIRITUALLY REBORN THROUGH HIS DELIVERANCE VEIN, REGARDLESS OF ETHNIC BACKGROUND. IT HIGHLIGHTS THAT SPIRITUAL UNITY IN YAHUSHA ALAHIM REPLACES OLD PHYSICAL AND NATIONAL DISTINCTIONS, AND ENCOURAGES US TO EMBRACE THIS SPIRITUAL IDENTITY, UNITY AND BEHAVIOUR, WHICH IS CENTRAL TO TODAY'S END-TIME BEHAVIOUR REVOLUTION MESSAGE.

Arising from the whole matter of true spiritual heart circumcision, we are now brought to the subject of the nation of Israel, Yahuah’s first chosen people, and their relevance to Yahusha's end-time Harvest plan?

So what about Israel?

What about the Jew?

What about the Seed of Abraham?

How do we answer these questions under New Covenant times?

Let’s look at what Scripture calls 'the true Israel of Alahim', also the Jewish problem and who exactly constitutes the ‘Seed of Abraham’. These are all interrelated terms and ultimately point to ONE AND THE SAME PEOPLE of Yahusha Alahim. Of course (as Paul did), we will consider "first the natural, and afterwards that which is spiritual" (1 COR 15:46).

Firstly, we consider OLD COVENANT ISRAEL as the ‘Seed of Abraham’, natural and national Israel, and finally as the Jew.

🦋🦋 1. THE SEED OF ABRAHAM ... (old covenant-natural)

It should be remembered that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were not Jews (or even Israelites or that matter). They were Hebrews of the line of Eber from Shem, the son of Noah. Even the children of Israel in their infancy as a nation are spoken of as Hebrews, yet many wrongly speak of Abraham as a Jew! This was not so. ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB WERE HEBREWS, and this is applied to Israel as the Hebrew nation. To these fathers, Yahuah gave great seed promises. Each of them received these promises when their wives were in a state of barrenness.

• To Abraham - Yahuah promised that his seed would be as the SAND and as the STARS for multitude. The sand speaks of the earthly seed, and the stars of the heavenly seed, as two seed-lines would come from Abraham's loins.

• To Isaac - The promise of star-seed was also confirmed to Isaac.

• To Jacob - The promise of seed as the dust of the earth was also confirmed to Jacob.

In due time (as the ‘Seed of Abraham’), Isaac and Jacob multiplied, and Moses reminded them (as a nation) that they had become like 'the stars of heaven' for multitude. Throughout the Old Covenant writings, we see the seed-lines from Abraham’s loins. There was the `sand-seed’ (or `dust-seed’) and there was the `star seed’. One seed-line from Abraham was the EARTHLY (the natural seed) symbolised by the sand or the dust.

The other seed-line was the HEAVENLY (the spiritual seed) symbolised by the stars of heaven. These two seed-lines ran parallel all through the Old and New Covenants in fulfilment.

Don't forget that the literal 'Seed of Abraham' included Ishmael, Isaac and all of Abraham's sons from Keturah (after Sarah died). However, Yahuah limited THE PROMISED SEED to those who could trace their genealogy back to Isaac, for "in Isaac shall the seed be called”.

🦋🦋 2. THE NATION OF ISRAEL

As the seed of Abraham multiplied, from Isaac to Jacob, and his 12 sons, then to the 70 people who went into Egypt (and there became a nation), this Hebrew Family became known as 'the Nation of Israel'. THE SEED OF ABRAHAM BECAME THE NATION OF ISRAEL. Again, it is essential to understand the various applications of the name "Israel" as it is used in multiple contexts. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were not Israelites. Their multiplied seed became 'the Nation of Israel'.

The name "ISRAEL" is used in Scripture to refer to the following:

(a) Patriarch Jacob - The wrestling Yahusha changed Jacob's name (‘Supplanter’) to

Israel (‘A Prince having power with Alahim and with men and prevailing"). So Israel is first used as a PERSONAL NAME OF JACOB.

(b) Twelve Tribes of Israel - It is also used as the collective name of the twelve tribes that came from the twelve sons of Jacob/Israel. Each Tribe had its own Tribal Name. The name "Israel" was never the name of one Tribe. It was the NATIONAL NAME or corporate name of the Twelve Tribes.

(c) Ten-Tribed House of Israel - The Northern Kingdom became known as the ‘House of Israel (or Ephraim)’. After the division of the Nation of Israel into TWO HOUSES the Northern Ten Tribes were called "the House of Israel". The Major and Minor Prophets ministered either to the House of Israel or the House of Judah. Generally, the first several verses of the Major and Minor Prophets tell us to whom they were speaking to.

(d) Two-Tribed House of Judah - The Southern Kingdom, or 'House of Judah', is also spoken of as Israel at times. However, it should be remembered that all in the House of Judah belonged to the NATION OF ISRAEL, but all in the House of Judah did not belong to the HOUSE OF ISRAEL. Endless confusion has arisen because of the ignorance of these facts.

"Israel" is used as a collective name and may include both Houses of Israel and Judah. However, Judah is never used as a collective name for the whole twelve-tribed nation. It is impossible to understand the prophets until we see which house their prophecies are spoken about. Therefore, "Israel" may refer to Jacob, or the whole nation of the twelve Tribes of Israel, or the Northern Kingdom (as the House of Israel), or the children of Israel (in the House of Judah). Only the context of Scripture passages will show this.

🦋🦋 3. THE JEWS

A greatly misunderstood term is that concerning 'the Jew’. Many speak of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as being Jews and the Jewish nation coming from their loins. This is a faulty understanding of the Scripture, and no end of confusion has arisen as a result of this. The first use of the word "Jew" in Scripture is when Judah is fighting against Israel.

The word "Jew" is a corruption of the name "Judah". In 1 KINGS 11-12 and 2 CHRONICLES 10, we have the account of the division of the nation of Israel into two kingdoms: THE TWO HOUSES These Houses are known from this time on in the Old Covenant as the House of Israel and the House of Judah.

Israel was united from the Exodus through the reigns of Saul, David, and Solomon, reaching its peak under Solomon. After Solomon's death, his son Rehoboam's accession led to a division into two distinct Houses, as allowed by Yahuah for different purposes. Prophets addressed these Houses separately: ISRAEL & JUDAH. Israel was taken captive by Assyria, and Judah by Babylon, as foretold. The Houses would reunite only under Yahusha's New Covenant. Israel was dispersed among nations, while Judah returned from 70 years of Babylonian captivity for Yahusha's first coming, and from then on, the House of Judah (comprising Judah, Benjamin, and Levi) became known as "the Jews."

Paul speaks of his fleshly state as of the ‘stock of Israel of the Tribe of Benjamin and a Hebrew of the Hebrews’, and how zealous he had been in the ‘Jews Religion’ as a Pharisee. The tragic thing is that the Jews persecuted Yahusha, they rejected Yahusha! The Jews impaled Yahusha. The Jews brought on themselves (and their unborn generations) the curse of innocent blood. And that curse cannot be lifted until, and unless they accept that blood for the cleansing of their sins.

So then, since the Torture Stake and the establishment of the New Covenant :

WHO IS THE 'SEED OF ABRAHAM'?

WHO IS THE 'ISRAEL OF ALAHIM'?

WHO IS THE 'REAL JEW'?

Let's look at the answers from the NEW COVENANT writers and believers... those who were 'the Seed of Abraham', those who were part of 'the Israel of Alahim', and those who were Jews 'after the flesh'.

🦋🦋 1. THE SEED OF ABRAHAM

There is absolutely no mistaking who the 'Seed of Abraham' is when we follow the New Covenant writers. Yahusha and His Bride constitute the 'Seed of Abraham' today!

Let the Scriptures speak for themselves:

(a) Yahusha THE Seed of Abraham

The Apostle Paul, under Divine revelation and inspiration reminds the Galatian believers about Yahuah’s Covenants. THEY WERE INDEED IN COVENANTAL CONFUSION!

Paul writes to them to bring them out of that confusion. In GALATIANS 3 Paul deals with the relationship of the Abrahamic, Mosaic and the New Covenants. He clearly shows that "Anyone who does not fulfil the whole Law of Moses is under the curse of that Covenant". He shows that Yahusha redeemed us from the curse of that Covenant by being made a curse for us on the tree of Calvary's Torture Stake. The purpose of it all was to bring us into the blessings of the Covenant given originally to Abraham, by reason of becoming New Covenant Believers.

Paul, in the course of his argument, goes back to the promises of Abraham’s Covenant and picks out the greatest of them all. This promise concerned "the Seed of Abraham". It involved redemption for all the nations. This was the Good News preached to Abraham when Yahuah said, "In you (or your seed) shall ALL nations be blessed" (GALATIANS 3:8).

Abraham was given natural, national and geographical promises in that Covenant. But the greatest of all promises in Abraham’s Covenant was the promise of deliverance and redemption for all nations, and THAT PROMISE IS THE GOSPEL OF YAHUSHA! Paul quotes this promise from Genesis (as given to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) to show that it was not fully speaking of Abraham's natural seed, but Paul says specifically that THE SEED WAS YAHUSHA MESSIAH HIMSELF!

Undoubtedly the natural, national seed of Abraham (after the flesh) blessed nations with their Old Covenant Scriptures, even though they themselves behaved abominably (even worse than the outside nations). But it is (first of all) of YAHUSHA THE SEED of Abraham that the blessing of deliverance comes and is made available for all nations.

Paul writes, "Now unto Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He says not, ‘and to seeds’ (as of many) but as of ONE. And to your seed WHICH IS MESSIAH! How could Paul understand this but by divine revelation? YAHUSHA IS THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, THE DIVINE SEED OF DAVID ACCORDING TO THE FLESH!

This was the good news - THE GOSPEL - preached to Abraham. It is IN YAHUSHA that all nations would be blessed. The Pharisees and Sadducees boasted to John the Baptist that they were 'Abraham's Seed', that Abraham was their father. John called them a generation of vipers and told them that Alahim could raise up (out of the stones) children to Abraham.

The most powerful chapter on this matter is JOHN 8, where the Jews boasted to Yahusha that Abraham was their father and that they were the 'Seed of Abraham'. They accused Yahusha of being born of fornication and that He had no father (a slur on His virgin birth). They never heard the ‘Father's apparent voice’ from Heaven that said, ''This is My beloved son, in whom I am well pleased”, thus taking responsibility for the way that Yahusha was born by a Virgin.

Yahusha acknowledged that the Jews were "Abraham's Seed" (after the flesh!) But He also said that if they were really "Abraham's Seed" (after the spirit) ... they would believe in Him! They would do Abraham's work - that is, "Abraham believed Alahim! And so would they if truly his seed.” When it got to their slanderous revilings, Yahusha plainly said to them, "You are of your father the Devil". The Jews were of their father, Abraham (as pertaining to the flesh, the physical and natural, national birth). But they were of their father, the Devil, as pertaining to the spirit. They had not been "born from above", but "born from evil”. And,

THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE FLESH IS FLESH (whether Jewish flesh or Gentile flesh) and THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT !!

When Yahusha spoke to Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, He told him that he needed to be BORN AGAIN, BEGOTTEN FROM ABOVE BY THE SPIRIT AND THE INCORRUPTIBLE SEED OF YAHUSHA'S WORD. This is true of every Jew and Gentile today. Teachers should not deceive the Jews of today with false hopes and false comfort that they are the `Seed of Abraham’...... All need to be BORN ANEW to enter the Kingdom of Yahusha!

So Yahusha is THE SEED of Abraham. The whole purpose of the genealogical records in Matthew and Luke’s Gospel is to trace the seed-line from Abraham through to Yahusha, Who would bring redemption for all nations according to the promise of the Covenant given to Abraham!

(b) The Bride - the Seed of Abraham

It is amazing how many believers stop at GALATIANS 3:16. They see that Yahusha is the 'Seed of Abraham' but fail to read on in the same chapter and discover that His Bride, His followers also are the 'Seed of Abraham'. Paul continues on concerning the New Covenant and that believers (both Jews and Gentiles) are now "In Yahusha”. In Messiah there is neither Jew nor Greek, bond or free, male or female, but all are ONE IN YAHUSHA!

Believers have been taken out of being `In Adam’ and now, through the Torture Stake’ (by reason of the New Covenant) they have been placed ‘In Yahusha’. It is a change of race, a change of place, a new position, a new relationship and access to the heavenly dimension. Unregenerate Jews and Gentiles are still "In Adam" with their CORRUPT SPIRITUAL SEED. Regenerated (spiritually transitioned) Jews and Gentiles are now ‘In Yahusha’,

THROUGH NEW BIRTH IN THE NARROW VEIN!!

Once we are ‘In Yahusha’ we become one with Him and with each other, and now, together, we constitute the 'Seed of Abraham'. GALATIANS 3:29 spells it out. "And if you are Messiah’s, then you are Abraham's Seed and heirs accordingly to the promise".

In verse 16, Yahusha is THE 'Seed of Abraham'.

But in verse 29 Believers are THE 'Seed of Abraham'.

Note again! The word is "seed" - singular — not "seeds" - plural!

IT IS ONE SEED: YAHUSHA AND THOSE THAT ARE YAHUSHA’S!

IT IS ONE SEED: YAHUSHA AND HIS BODY - HIS BRIDE.

IT IS ONE SEED: YET A MANY-MEMBERED SEED !!

If you believers (plural) are Yahusha’s, then you are (plural) Abraham's Seed (singular) and heirs to the Covenant promises given to Abraham. Nothing could be clearer concerning who is the 'Seed of Abraham' today. YAHUSHA AND HIS BRIDE ARE THAT SEED ... a united seed, a many-membered seed. It is that seed by which all nations are being blessed (if we show them that is?!) It is through Yahusha and His Bride in the nations of the earth that blessing comes, firstly locally in the community and now (through the web) globally at the click of a button. It is not the physical, natural, national unregenerate 'Seed of Abraham' (whoever they are and whatever they be!) IT IS THE BRIDE - THE ONE BODY OF YAHUSHA, yet a many-membered body through which the Gospel of our Master and Deliverer YAHUSHA ALAHIM is blessing all nations!

🦋🦋 2. THE SPIRITUAL ISRAEL OF ALAHIM

As the natural and physical 'Seed of Abraham' became the nation of Israel in due time, so the spiritual 'Seed of Abraham' (THE BRIDE) now becomes the spiritual nation, and the 'true Israel of Alahim'. One was under the Mosaic Covenant and according to the NATURAL PROMISES of the Abrahamic Covenant. The other is under the New Covenant and according to the SPIRITUAL PROMISES of the Abrahamic Covenant. Again we see how the New Covenant writers confirm that the BRIDAL GATHERING (made up of believing Jews and Gentiles) now constitute the 'true Israel of Alahim'. Israel (after the flesh) was divorced and expelled as a shadow of what happens if Yahusha's Bride today follows idolatrous behaviour. Israel (after the spirit) is the fulfilment of all prophecies and promises!

In the Letter to the Galatians, Paul also uses the expression, ‘The Israel of Alahim’ to describe the New Covenant believer. In GALATIANS 6:16 he says, "And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them and mercy, and upon the Israel of Alahim.” Paul is speaking of the TRUE AND SPIRITUAL ISRAEL OF ALAHIM, not the natural, the physical or national Israel. How do we know this? The passage context shows this to be so. “For in Yahusha Messiah (not ‘in Adam’) neither circumcision (the Jews) nor uncircumcised (the Gentiles) avails anything, but a new creature (from new birth) according to 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17. As many as walk according to this rule (the new creation rule) peace be on them and mercy, and upon the 'Israel of Alahim'. The whole passage context, as well, as the whole of the Galatian Letter is showing that (since natural Israel was given a Certificate of Divorce and expelled) it can only be the believer in Yahusha (Jew or Gentile) that is the TRUE AND SPIRITUAL ISRAEL OF ALAHIM!

Many teachers try to prove that every use of "Israel" in the New Covenant Writings speaks of physical and national Israel. This is totally not so. One of the most quoted, misused and misunderstood verses is ROMANS 11:26, which says, "And so all Israel shall be delivered.” A study of these chapters in Romans 9, 10, 11 reveals that there are TWO ISRAELS: the true Israel of the spirit, and the Israel after the flesh. There is the Israel after the flesh by natural birth, physical generation, and there is the Israel after the spiritual birth, spiritual regeneration - brought to life through Yahusha's Vein. This is seen here.

(a) The Natural Israel

Paul's longing was that his kinsman according to the flesh would be delivered. "Israel might be delivered”, was his desire. In ROMANS 9 he says that the nation had been blessed with the adoption, the glory of Alahim, the Covenants, the giving of the Torah-Law, the services of Alahim, the promises and finally, the Messiah Himself. However, Israel, as a nation, became a disobedient, unbelieving and foolish nation. They became a nation that was blinded. Israel did not attain the law of righteousness because 'they sought it by the works of the flesh and not by the hearing of belief'. The result was the NATURAL BRANCHES WERE BROKEN OFF of the olive tree because of unbelief, and this is Jewry's condition today!

(b) The Spiritual Israel

Out of natural Israel, however, there would come the 'true Israel of Alahim', the spiritual Israel. EVEN IN THE OLD COVENANT THERE WERE TWO ISRAELS! There was an Israel within an Israel. There was the true and spiritual Israel within (those of belief), and there was the fleshly and natural Israel (those of unbelief). This is still true today! Paul was an Israelite after the flesh, of the 'Seed of Abraham', of the Tribe of Benjamin, yet by spiritual birth, he became an Israelite 'After the Spirit.'

The Jews who believed and came 'into Yahusha' were the remnant that was delivered, the remnant according to the election of Yahusha’s favour (ROMANS 9 &11). They remained in the olive tree BY BELIEF in Yahusha, even as Abraham was of belief. Therefore, when people quote the verse: “And so all Israel will be delivered”, it must be done in conjunction with the context of the whole letter. It must be reconciled with “For they are not all Israel which are of Israel!” ... ONE IS NATURAL - ONE IS SPIRITUAL!

In ROMANS 9:6-8 Paul further says, "Neither because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, in Isaac shall your Seed be called. That is, they which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of Alahim; but the children of the promise are counted for the Seed." Words could not be clearer! This is written by Paul who was of the 'Seed of Abraham', of Israel (of Benjamin) after the flesh, when he was unregenerate and the Pharisaical Saul! Now he is Paul, the Apostle, the 'Seed of Abraham'... the 'Israel of Alahim', after the Spirit, and BORN ANEW into the Kingdom of Yahusha Alahim!

SO THEY ARE NOT ALL SPIRITUAL ISRAEL WHO ARE OF NATURAL ISRAEL.

The "all Israel" who is delivered are those Israelites who "confess with their mouth and believe in their heart that Yahusha raised from the dead" (ROMANS 10:9-13). And there is no difference between Jew or Greek. The same Master over all is rich unto all that call upon His true Name. It is "Whosoever shall call on the name of Yahusha who will be delivered.” This is the one and only way that all Israel will be delivered. Once they are IN YAHUSHA ALAHIM THROUGH THE NARROW GATE OF HIS BODY, they become the true and spiritual Israel of Alahim. They are grafted back into the olive tree (YAHUSHA) by their belief. Their blindness is lifted, and so Yahusha has mercy upon all (whether they be Jew or Gentile).

Nicodemus was a "Master in Israel" and yet needed to be 'born from above', or born again to be the true Israel of Alahim. Undoubtedly the ultimate revelation of the 'Israel of Alahim' is seen in John's vision of the New Jerusalem, the Bridal City in Revelation 21-22. On the twelve gates of pearl were the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. All the redeemed of all ages enter that city by their respective gates. It is not natural, physical or unregenerate Israel, but the true, the spiritual and the eternal 'Israel of Alahim', and those who behave accordingly.

How does anyone enter that heavenly and holy city? ONLY BY NEW BIRTH - being born from above (be they Jews or Gentiles) all become spiritual Israel and enter the city of the redeemed. No unregenerate Israelite or Jew will enter that city of Alahim by the twelve tribal gates of Israel, because it is the true Israel alone that is eternal. The same truth is seen in the sealing of the 144,000 out of the twelve tribes of Israel. They are not natural Israel, for none can have the seal of the living Alahim on them unless they are BORN ANEW FROM ABOVE THROUGH THE DELIVERANCE VEIN.

The seal of the living Alahim Yahusha is the spirit of Alahim.

Since the Torture Stake (even before then), the 'Israel of Alahim'  is the spiritual Israel by reason of spiritual birth. This is the NEW COVENANT ISRAEL and all the redeemed of all ages. Believing Jews and Gentiles will find their place in one of the 12 Tribal Gates of the New Jerusalem Israel, according to the will, and placement of Yahusha Alahim. Those who were "Gentiles in the flesh" are now part of "the Commonwealth of Israel", and Paul is not talking about the natural or national commonwealth of Israel, but the 'true Israel of Alahim' (EPH 2:11-22). For Alahim is no respecter of persons, be they Jews or Gentiles. THE TRUE ISRAEL OF ALAHIM TODAY IS CALLED THE BRIDE !

🦋🦋 3. THE TRUE JEW

Now that we have addressed the `Seed of Abraham' and the `True Israel of Alahim', the third Scriptural term we looked at was "the Jew". Under the Old Covenant times, Gentiles became Jews by the rite of circumcision. However the New Covenant writers tell us who 'the true Jew' is under the New Covenant. In ROMANS 2:28-29 Paul sets forth the contrast between the two kinds of Jews - the Jew after the flesh and the Jew after the spirit. To focus more sharply we set out the contrast and comparison that Paul uses with regards to these two kinds of Jews.

Both these kinds of Jews are in the world today! As there was conflict between the physical and spiritual Jews in Scripture times, the same is true today. Paul proves that Jews and Gentiles are under sin, none are righteous, all need redemption. Paul says in Romans 2 that there is no difference between Jew or Gentile for "All have sinned and come short of the glory of Alahim". All need to be redeemed by Yahusha. This was written by a man who had been Saul the Jew and had become Paul the true Jew of the Bridal Elect.

The Apostle John (also a Jew after the flesh and one who became a Jew after the spirit) wrote strongly to the Assemblies in Asia, concerning the false Jew. In REV 2:9 & 3:9, we have similar words. Yahusha told Smyrna and Philadelphia, that "there were those who say they are Jews and are not, but lie and they were of the Synagogue of Satan". Strong words! However, we are reminded of the words of Yahusha to His Disciples in John's Gospel. Yahusha foretold them that the time would come when the Jews would put them out of the Synagogues. They would even kill the believers and think that they were doing Alahim a service. Through the Book of Acts, Paul and his company preached in the Synagogues of the Jews. However, the natural Jew persecuted the true Jew and became the worst enemy of the Assembly.

And because of all this, tribulation, anguish and wrath came upon them to the uttermost. For, the Gospel had gone to the Jew first, and he had rejected it. Only those elected accepted it. The true spiritual 'Jew' is the believing Bride of Yahusha. The true circumcision is of the heart, in the spirit. The true 'Israel of Alahim' is the SPIRITUAL ISRAEL, and all the New Covenant Writers say so! To exalt the Jew, Israel or the natural 'Seed of Abraham', or circumcision, is to exalt the natural above the spiritual, the fleshly above the spiritual birth, the earthly above the heavenly... to replace the New Covenant with the Old Covenant!!

AT THE TORTURE STAKE THE NATURAL, THE FLESHLY, THE EARTHLY WAS PUT TO DEATH, IMPALED, EXECUTED. IN THE RESURRECTION, THE SPIRITUAL AND THE HEAVENLY WAS RAISED TO LIFE. TO EXALT THE PHYSICAL ABOVE THE SPIRITUAL IS TO GO BACK TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TORTURE STAKE. IT PUTS THE BELIEVER UNDER THE CURSE OF THE OLD COVENANT AND ROBS HIM OF THE BLESSINGS OF THE NEW COVENANT... IT IS INDEED CONFUSION OF COVENANTS!

SO TO CONCLUDE, ALL NEW COVENANT BELIEVERS TODAY NEED ONLY BE REFERRED TO AS 'THE BRIDE OF YAHUSHA ALAHIM'. HOWEVER SCRIPTURALLY WE ARE ALSO CALLED:

• A Chosen Generation.

• A Royal Priesthood.

• A Holy Nation.

• A Peculiar People.

• The Sons of Alahim.

• The Priests of Alahim.

• Heirs of the Kingdom.

• Children of Alahim.

• Trees of Righteousness.

• Household of Alahim.

• Children of Abraham.

• Children of the Promise.

• The Elect of Alahim.

• The True Circumcision.

• The Priests of Alahim

• Ministers of Alahim.

• The Holy People.

• The Redeemed of Alahim.

• Heirs of Alahim.

• The Election.

• The Remnant of Favour.

• The Assembly of the Firstborn.

• The Seed of Abraham.

• The Israel of Alahim.

• The Jew inwardly.

• The Olive tree.

• Zion and Jerusalem.

• Yahusha’s Brothers and Sisters.

Many of these designations are used in both Old and New Covenant. They cannot be applied to natural and unregenerate Jewry, or unbelieving Israel today. They speak of the 'true Israel of Alahim', the 'true Seed of Abraham', the 'True Jew'. In other words they speak of YAHUSHA'S NEW COVENANT BRIDE composed of believing Jews and Gentiles. THIS IS THE NEW COVENANT ISRAEL OF YAHUSHA ALAHIM, A FULFILMENT OF ALL PROPHESIES & SHADOWS FROM THE OLD WIFE ISRAEL IN THE FLESH.

Yahusha came to bring a sword. The sword would bring division between the old and natural Israel and the new and spiritual Israel. THE SWORD DIVIDES BETWEEN FLESH AND SPIRIT. The Gospels tell us 'There was division among them because of HIM" (JN 7:43 & 9:16 + LK 12:51 + MT 10:34). The division was between believing Jews (the new nation) and unbelieving Jews (the old nation). When Yahusha’s natural brothers and sisters (after the flesh) desired to see Him, He told them that only those who do the will of Alahim are His brothers and sisters.

These are Yahusha’s Spiritual Relationships!

Therefore, we have TWO BROTHERHOODS: One after the flesh, and One after the Spirit. It is the new birth that counts today in the sight of Yahusha Alahim. Jews and Gentiles, born again through the Narrow Gate Vein, constitute the 'Israel of Alahim,' Alahim's elect, Alahim's chosen people. The only genealogy preserved perfectly in the Scripture, particularly in the New Covenant, is that of the Messiah Yahusha. Paul warns both Timothy and Titus not to "give heed to fables and endless genealogies which minister questions, rather than righteous edification ..."

THE TRUE BRIDE NOW TRACES HER GENEOLOGY BACK TO YAHUSHA'S BLOODLINE THROUGH NEW BIRTH AND ADOPTION INTO HIS REIGN ... it is not a natural, physical or national birth any more! These are those born 'Not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but by the will of Alahim'. Together Jews and Gentiles "in Yahusha” are of the "same body" in the great mystery revealed to Paul about the New Covenant Bride, the 'New Covenant Israel of Alahim' (EPH 3:1-9).

In concluding, we remind ourselves of Paul's words,

"There is no difference between Jew or Gentile, for All have sinned and come short of the glory of Alahim".

"There is no respect of persons with Alahim"

"There is no difference between Jew and the Greek, for, the same Master over ALL is rich unto ALL that call upon Him" It is for the "all" and the "whosoever".

'There is no difference between us and them", for Alahim purified the hearts of Jews and Gentiles by belief".

"In Yahusha, there is neither Jew nor Greek."

Why then do teachers and preachers make a difference today between Jews and Gentiles and violate the inspired word of the apostle Paul? The Scriptures are clear! There were TWO SEED LINES from Abraham; there are TWO ISRAELS of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and there are TWO KINDS OF JEW of this nation. There is the NATURAL and the SPIRITUAL, the earthly and the heavenly, the sand and the stars, the temporal and the eternal. The only way from one to the other is `you must be born again, begotten from above' through incorruptible seed, through Yahusha’s Vein of deliverance.

So the New Covenant writings teach that true Israel and the real seed of Abraham are those who believe in Yahusha Alahim and are spiritually reborn, regardless of ethnicity. This marks a shift from physical and national distinctions to spiritual unity in Yahusha, as highlighted in Gal 3 and Rom 9-11.

ULTIMATELY, FOR A HARVEST TO BE POSSIBLE IN THE NEXT FEW SHORT YEARS, ALL THIS TERMINOLOGY AND SCRIPTURAL TRUTH MUST BE BROKEN DOWN AND SUMMARISED, INTO SIMPLE STEPS THAT PEOPLE CAN RECOGNISE WITHIN AND MAKE THE RIGHT APPROACH TO BECOMING SPIRITUAL, ENTERING THE NARROW GATE OF DELIVERANCE IN PREPARATION FOR YAHUSHA'S SOON RETURN :
