For they are not Israel who are descended from Israel. Beware of hypoctites who attack the teaching of doctrine.

If you have the genes of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the twelve Patriarchs [Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher], you are a Jew or a part of Israel as far as your physical birth and descent is concerned.
As far as the imputation of human life at birth, that’s true, but Abraham was regenerate, Isaac was regenerate, Jacob was regenerate, the origin of the Jewish nation all adds up to the fact that it is the spiritual seed of Abraham who is the true Israel.
Sura 2:138-14, (Our religion is) the Baptism of Allah. And who can baptize better than Allah. And it is He Whom we worship. Say: Will ye dispute with us about Allah, seeing that He is our Lord and your Lord; that we are responsible for our doings and ye for yours; and that We are sincere (in our faith) in Him? Or do ye say that Abraham, Isma’il Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes were Jews or Christians? Do ye know better than Allah. Ah! who is more unjust than those who conceal the testimony they have from Allah. but Allah is not unmindful of what ye do! That was a people that hath pass ed away. They shall reap the fruit of what they did, and ye of what ye do!
The Bible, the word of God, says that Abraham became a Jew at age 99, GEN 17:1.
Koran - which supposedly dropped out of the sky on a stone tablet and we are told that Mohammed didn’t really write it, and that he had nothing to do with it, because it was written by Allah.
Bible - 66 books, written by 40 different authors, over 1500 years, in 3 different languages, on 3 different continents, with no historical errors or contradictions.
2PE 1:21 was not made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
PHI 2:12... work out your salvation with fear and trembling;
PHI 1:15 “Certain ones, on the one hand, are proclaiming the Christ even from jealousy and strife or discord, but certain ones on the other hand because of good motivation.”
PHI 1:16-18 the latter category out of the motivation of love, fully convinced that I am appointed for the defense of the good news; the former category from the motivation of divisive self-promotion proclaim Christ, not from pure motives, since they presume to arouse mental distress with regard to my imprisonment. What is my conclusion? Only that in every way, whether in false motivation or in true, Christ is being proclaimed; and in this I am happy, not only at this time, but I will continue being happy.
ACT 13:45 But when the Jews saw the crowds [listening to the apostle Paul, the apostle of grace], they were filled with jealousy, and {began} contradicting the things spoken by Paul, and were blaspheming.
SOS 1:6 “Do not stare at me because I am swarthy, For the sun has burned me [being burnt out]. My mother’s sons were angry with me; They made me caretaker of the vineyards, {But} I have not taken care of my own vineyard.”
ROM 9:6 However, this [the rejection of the Jews concerning their spiritual heritage] this [rejection] is not to imply as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel;
To be true Israel you must have the genes of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but don’t ever count on physical birth, because physical birth includes condemnation.
To believe in His name means to believe that He is what His name claims to be which is, the word of God, King of kings, the Lord of lords, the Lord our righteousness,
Emmanuel, God with us, wonderful counselor, the mighty God, the Father of eternity, the prince of peace, the great I AM, the Lord of all.
JOH 1:12 But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name.
This is a reference to what is known as common and efficacious grace.
We become members of the Royal Family of God the same way racial Israel becomes true Israel, the grace of God.
ROM 9:6 For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel;
Seven propositions or conclusions we can draw with regard to the subject of the grace of God.
a. In His grace, God does reveal to mankind that God exists.
We are told just before our Lord comes back the signs of the times or the trends, especially in the client nation, would begin with Israel’s rebirth, MAT 24:32-33.
As Jesus prophesied, the Jews were scattered during the Jewish-Roman war of AD 70, LUK 21:24. Also prophesied to occur before Christ’s return, the nation of Israel was miraculously reborn on May 14, 1948.
There also would be a decline or plunging of morality, 2TI 3:1-4.
TLJC said that the days just before His coming would see increased famines, violence and ethnic wars, a clear picture of our planet,
MAT 24:6-8.
Increase in earthquakes, hurricanes, storms, and natural disasters.
The explosion of travel, knowledge, education, DAN 12:4.
Explosion of cults and the occult, MAT 24:5.
Counterfeit spirituality is everywhere with cults and false Christs, psychic phenomena, spiritism, Satan worship, witchcraft, nature worship and the New Age movement, Aliens, UFO’s, USO’s -
USO’s = Unidentified Submerged Objects or phenomenon of unknown origin observed under water that remains unidentified even after thorough investigation.
World Order, MAT 24:15, Dan 7-12.
Increased centralization of world financial and political power is a prelude to the soon-coming world power system in the hands of “Antichrist,” who will be the incarnation of Satan and who will deceive most of the world,
Dan 7-12, MAT 24:15, Rev 13.
Increase in apostasy,
2TH 2:3.
