Tuese: THE BIBLE IS ISRAEL’s STORY!

THE BIBLE IS ISRAEL’s STORY!

By Tuese Ahkiong notes from Rob Shannon

Most Bible students will agree that its only Israel that is in focus throughout the Old Testament.

Its only Israel that has covenant with YHWH.

Its only Israel that has his laws.

Its only Israel that is to inherit the promises.

Again, the story is always focused on Israel.

Now fast forward to the New Testament.

Now all of a sudden many Bible students want to assume the story now concerns other nations and other peoples.

This is INCORRECT!

Take Christ for instance.

“I was sent ONLY for the lost sheep of the house of ISRAEL”

Who made up the house of Israel?

The twelve tribes of Israel!

So who then were the lost sheep?

The ten lost tribes of Israel who during the 7th century BC were taken captive by the Assyrians and were dispersed out in foreign nations.

So the story never diverted away from Israel.

At the end of the story, only The 12 tribes of Israel are redeemed or saved. Revelation 7:14, 14:3.

Israel was always the only nation in focus.

But most will bring up GENTILES.

One fails to understand....the story was never about anyone other than Israel.

That being said lets see what GENTILES really meant.

A. Gentiles = other ethnic groups?

B. Gentiles = dispersed Israelite descendants out in the nations

The answer is B folks.

Romans 11:25-27. For I do not want you, brothers and sisters, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; 26 and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written:

“The Deliverer will come from Zion,

He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.”

27 “This is My covenant with them,

When I take away their sins.”

***If gentile means other ethnic groups, how does the fullness of them coming in bring about ALL ISRAEL BEING SAVED?

***If gentile refers to the scattered Israelite descendants in the nations, being brought back by The Gospel, does this make more sense for ALL ISRAEL BEING SAVED? Is this not the parable of the prodigal son who was scattered in the pagan nations being brought back into covenant with The God of Israel? Notice how the context mentions JACOB aka ISRAEL having their ungodliness removed. Who did YHWH make a covenant with? Israel. Who got their sin taken away? Israel. When did this take place? When The Deliverer came from Zion.

Psalm 14:7. Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

Psalm 53:6. Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

Psalm 98:3. He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Isaiah 45:17 But Israel will be saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation;

you will never be put to shame or disgraced, to ages everlasting.

Jeremiah 31:34 No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the Lord.

“For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”

Jeremiah 30:10. “‘So do not be afraid, Jacob my servant; do not be dismayed, Israel,’ declares the Lord. ‘I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their exile. Jacob will again have peace and security, and no one will make him afraid.
