In Defense Of Israelite Christianity Having The Eternal/Everlasting Covenant And Blessing Of Abraham

The Millennial Reign of Christ Will Prove My Title Correct

The following email was redacted to contain only the important part:

"Some of my convictions are still at variance with that of the JMFI, and I do not think it will be of much value to further expound on it.

God made an eternal/everlasting covenant with the people of Israel, whether they are faithful or not, and to say that the church has replaced Israel is akin to calling God a liar. Holding to this view, does not mean that I believe Israel will be saved by the observance of the Torah, but that some will, by accepting Yeshua as the Messiah."

Error gives Truth an opportunity to triumph.

My response to all who believe like this:

Well, you believe something Jesus and the Apostles did not believe.

You equate all who claim to be Jews as Israel and Abraham's seed. And within this error you think all Jews have an eternal covenant with God. Your Israel is not the Israel of the Scriptures. You are refusing to accept many scriptural facts.

1.) Any seed of Abraham that is not circumcised is not counted for the seed (Gen 17:14). The Apostle Paul who knew more about circumcision than any man now living said this:

"For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law" (Gal 5:3).

(But you make the uncircumcised and those who do not keep the whole law the inheritors of the Abraham covenant).

2.) Any seed of Abraham that does not do the works of Abraham is not counted for the seed (John 3:39). Abraham's covenant of circumcision is a testimony to keep God's charge, his commandments, his statutes, and his laws. (But you still make those Jews who do not keep all the covenant of Abraham to be heirs of the covenant).

3.) Any seed of Abraham that commits any of the “cut-off” sins under the Law are not counted for the seed (Num 15:31). One of those sins is witchcraft. Their Cabala is a total witchcraft occult system. (But you still make these who follow the Cabala the inheritors of the Abraham covenant).

4.) Any seed of Abraham that rejects Christ is omitted from the seed and according to Moses and the Apostle Peter to be destroyed from among the people (Acts 3:23). How can these marked for eternal damnation still have an eternal/everlasting covenant? (But you still make these who receive not that prophet, the Israel that has an eternal/everlasting covenant in Abraham).

5.) Any seed of Abraham that is not “born again” their first birth no longer counts (John 3:1-5; Rom 3:20). (But you still make these Israel).

6.) Any seed of Abraham that is an atheist is not counted for the seed. (But you still make these Israel).

7.) Any seed of Abraham that is homosexual is not counted for the seed. (But you still make these Israel).

8.) Any seed of Abraham that worships idols and false gods is not counted for the seed. (But you still make these Israel).

9.) Jesus said God is able to raise up children to Abraham from stones (Mat 3:9), showing that God does not need Jews as the seed of Abraham who are reprobates. (But you still accept these reprobates within the covenant of Abraham, while at the same time these people started a war of persecution and death against those Jews who were also supposed to have protection in the Abraham covenant. The temple cult who claimed Abraham privilege thrust out and denied the privilege of other Jews who were the children of Abraham. Since that time, the temple cult made war against the Ekklesia children of Abraham.).

10.) Jesus said the Kingdom would be taken from them and given to others who bring forth the fruits thereof, (But you still make those who no longer have the Kingdom the inheritors of Abraham's covenant).

11.) Jesus said there would be weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth when they see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of God and they thrust out (Luke 13:28), (But you still make the thrust out ones Abraham's seed with an eternal/everlasting covenant that if God breaks with them, he is a liar). Herein the "thrust out ones" have all the curses and the Ekklesia "called out ones" have all the blessings. I said so!

12.) You totally discount and ignore the lesson of the rich man and Lazarus. In hell the rich man was in torment. Now my Brother, what sin did the rich Israelite do that severed him from Abraham’s bosom? Where is his eternal/everlasting covenant that gave him eternal security from all sin? See, you are following the eternal security doctrine of the Jews and the dispensational Baptist. You are not following Jesus and the Apostles. Your doctrine is not Apostolic at all and this will keep you out of JMFI.

13.) What of the five brothers of the rich man who he wanted Abraham to send back someone from the dead to preach to? Where is their eternal/everlasting covenant of eternal security in the bosom of Abraham? The rich man knew his five brothers were on their way to hell without protection from the Abraham covenant. They were headed right where he was in the fire. The rich man did not believe his brothers had special exemption from hell fire because they were of Abraham's seed. (But you still make these five brothers protected by the covenant of Abraham). If they are not protected because they also have sinned out, how are other Jews protected who are also sinners of the same sort?

14.) You have refused and failed to identify any sin or sins for which a seed of Abraham can forfeit their inherited right within the covenant of Abraham. Because of this you can give all Jews a blanket pass to claim special status as Abraham's seed. And we are supposed to now worship the Jews because of this so-called "chosen people" doctrine. You give no attention to the uncircumcised hard hearts of Jews who have hate for Jesus and his Church. Like the Haredi in Israel who stand outside the homes of Christian Messianics screaming: TO HELL WITH JESUS!

15.) You have refused and failed to accept that Jesus Christ came to CONFIRM the promises (covenants) made to Abraham and the fathers (Rom 15:8). You continue to make those who reject the confirmation Israel.

16.) You have refused to answer the question: WHO IS ISRAEL? Or maybe WHAT IS ISRAEL.

17.) You are totally in the dark on the identity of many Jews who claim to be Jews and they do not have one red corpuscle of Abraham’s blood in them. I speak about the Gentiles who made themselves Jews in Esther 8:17.

18.) You refuse to believe there were many who claimed to be Jews but could not prove their genealogy in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah, Ezra 2:62. Nehemiah 7:64. (But you still make these Israel).

19.) Then what about the Khazars who about 750AD converted to Judaism and were afterward counted for Jews and the descendants of these filled Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Russia, and Poland, (documented by Jewish historian Arthur Koestler in his “Thirteenth Tribe”)? It is largely these who now control Israel in the middle east and they are not real Jews at all. They are not descendants of Abraham. (But you still make these Abraham's seed and think that by supporting Israel you are helping God keep his covenant with Abraham).

20.) You have totally refused to transfer to the real seed of Abraham the eternal/everlasting covenant. And you have refused to see this seed of Abraham as the followers of Jesus Christ. If you do not transfer to the followers of Jesus Christ being the true seed of Abraham who has the eternal/everlasting covenant, you are not a real believer at all. It is this seed of Abraham, the seed that reached the climax of the hope of Abraham in which he REJOICED TO SEE HIS DAY (read what Jesus said in John 8:56). My Brother you are not a true believer. You believe something but it is not the true Apostolic Truth. That is why you cannot be a member of JMFI.

21.) You do not believe in the true Olive tree doctrine of the Apostle Paul in Romans 11. Because in your doctrine no Jew or Israelite can be cut off from his inheritance because of unbelief. You make them still have an eternal/everlasting covenant even when they are cut off and dead. You are preaching another Gospel which Paul warned against.

22.) Because you refuse to transfer the covenant of Abraham to Christ and his followers, the Church Israel, the Ekklesia, the Kingdom of God, you have totally uprooted and destroyed the olive tree of Romans 11. Like the dispensationalist you are claiming there is no Church Israel. Well what is the Church if it is not Israel? Or is the Church a Gentile bride as the trinitarian pre-trib dispensational secret rapture people claim?

23.) You have destroyed the promise of Abraham that through him, that is his seed, that is Christ, the Gentiles would be blessed. Paul talked about the blessing of Abraham coming upon the Gentiles through Christ (Gal 3:14). But you deny this. Tell me Brother, did the Gentiles come into the blessings of Abraham via those whom you make Israel and whom you make have the everlasting covenant? If your doctrine was true, no Gentile would be saved today until they were a part of that Israel that is antichrist. And this is precisely where your false doctrine on who Israel is will take you. You, like many, will make the coming antichrist have an eternal covenant with God all because he is Jewish. Your doctrine is very dangerous. Claiming all Jews have an eternal/everlasting covenant in Abraham will give the coming antichrist validity and a basis for people to accept him. No doctrine could be more dangerous to the endtime last day people of God.

24.) Because you cannot see Abraham’s seed in the Church Israel and the everlasting covenant with them and being the olive tree, you cannot see how the Gentiles grafted into this Israel tree can share in the blessings, the root, and the fatness thereof. And because of this, you cannot see that the true Apostolic Church is the true Israel of God.

25.) Yes, the Church Israel did replace old unbelieving thrust out Israel. And while you do not like it because of your Jewish, Calvinistic, and Baptist doctrine on predestination and eternal security, you will never change what the Scriptures so plainly teach.

26.) Jesus admitted some Jews were children of Abraham in John 8:37-44. But these also had another father which Jesus said was the devil (John 8:44). How is it possible that those who had Abraham's seed in them also had the devil for their father and you claim these have an eternal/everlasting covenant with God and cannot be looked upon as having forfeited that inheritance? I say they were transferred out (thrust out) of the inheritance by God himself and he is no liar for doing so.

How could Jesus say they would be thrust out and taken from their eternal/everlasting right in the covenant of Abraham if it was IMPOSSIBLE?

I will say it plainly: any other Jew or Jews who have the devil for their father DO NOT have the inheritance of the covenant of Abraham. They have sinned out of it and will be thrust out of Israel never again to have any part in the covenant of Abraham. And yes, they can sin out of it regardless of what the Jews, the Baptist, and the dispensationalist say.

27.) You say they cannot sin out of Abraham's covenant. This is as false as it gets. This lie is exposed in Deuteronomy 9:14 where God threatened to destroy all of Israel in the idolatry of the golden calf. And God promised Moses he would make of him a nation of people mightier and greater than they. What happened here? Did God forget his eternal/everlasting covenant with Abraham where he is alleged to have given all Israel eternal security? If idolatry would cause them to brake the covenant with God and he would destroy them, then the covenant of Abraham does not cover this sin or many others. It was only by God's grace and the prayer of Moses they be forgiven that they were not consumed.  Now, tell me, what of Korah and his host who stood up against Moses in Numbers 16:1-24? Did they have eternal security with the claim of Abraham's eternal/everlasting covenant? Did they sin out of it and God counted it not, and slew them all?

28.) There are 144,000 of the 12 tribes found in heaven at the end of the age (Rev. 7:4). And there is a host no man can number of all nations, tribes, tongues, and people. This is the picture of who will be saved over the time of the Church until the end of the tribulation (Rev. 7:9). And only 144,000 Israelites are saved. What happened to all the other millions since the days of Christ who are claimed to have eternal security in the covenant of Abraham? Were are they? I will tell you. They are lost and they are going to hell and burn in the lake of fire.

Let me say something right here about the land covenant of Abraham. It has NOTHING to do with eternal security or the chosen people or salvation or eternal blessings in heaven, or that they have special privilege before God so they can do anything they want and still claim to be the people of God.

The covenant of Abraham has ONLY TO DO WITH THE LAND. And nothing more. The Blessing of Abraham has to do with being counted righteous by an act of God's grace. It was because Abraham BELIEVED God that this righteousness was imputed to him (Gen 15:6). This has nothing to do with the land grant covenant. Abraham BELIEVED God and was counted righteous BEFORE he was circumcised as a seal of the land grant covenant.

The ones Jesus said would be thrust out have no valid claim on the land grant or the blessing of Abraham. They are cut off from them, no longer being a part of the olive tree. This is why no Jews can claim they are justified or have special status as the chosen people. And it also certifies that Jews by that name of the tribe of Judah, have no more right to the land of Israel within the Abraham land grant than that area cut out for that tribe. All the rest of the land grant to the other tribes has been forfeited by them with God evicting them off of it and they never came back to claim it again. There is no provision for any tribe to take the lands of another tribe.

Because Jews need salvation and cannot rely upon the covenant of the land grant for it, Peter warned all of them in Acts 2:38-42 to save themselves from that untoward (evil) generation. Now why tell them to get saved if they already had eternal security in the land covenant to Abraham?  This lie that Jews are the chosen people and have special privilege because of the land Covenant of Abraham will cause many Jews not to believe in Jesus and be saved. And with many, like the Pope, saying Jews today do not need to believe in Jesus for salvation because they are Abraham's seed, will cause millions of  Last Day Jews to be damned. Who would dream that Christians and their false doctrines would cause millions of Jews to be damned?

29.) Jesus did not give the Jews a path to heaven via the Abraham covenant. He told them clearly:

"NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER BUT BY ME" (John 14:6). To teach Jews can circumvent Jesus and claim a path to God by the covenant of Abraham is to make Jesus a liar. If any Jew wants to meet God in a saved condition he/she had better come to Jesus as the way. And the false doctrine that after the rapture Jews can be saved by law keeping and resumed animal sacrifices, will cause many Jews to believe this Baptist lie and be damned.

30.)  We now must deal with the eviction of 10 tribes from Israel who are extinct as far as tribal identity and Jewish and Israelite religion and faith. It is very doubtful the millions descended from among these evicted idolatrous tribes remained circumcised and remained Mosaic religious. Therefore they are not the children of the Abraham land covenant. They sinned out of the land covenant and were evicted from Israel that was given to Abraham for an inheritance.

What happened here? Did God not know this would happen? Did Moses not warn them (Deut 8:19-20)? Did God not foresee that tens of thousands of Israelites would brake the Abraham covenant and depart out from under it? Or did God see it and tell Abraham that if they were not circumcised they brake his covenant and no longer have any claim to their inheritance in the land grant?

And what is this lie that no descendant of Abraham can brake the land covenant when God said they could? And what of the other tens of thousands of the tribe of Benjamin that are now extinct? The only real Israelites remaining would be the tribe of Judah and called Jews. But where are the real ones? The Jews of the 13th tribe are not descendants of Abraham and have no claim on the Abraham land covenant.

The pollution of the seed of Abraham is so great that only 144,000 will be saved between Calvary and the end of the tribulation and coming of Jesus. Jews need to take heed to this number and get into it and realize all others are going to hell. They must obey Acts 2:38 and reserve their place in the 144,000 or go to hell with the other lost Jews (Mark 16:16). If they do not, then they will be lost and the land covenant of Abraham will not offer them a loop-hole to God. The other wanna-be Jews who are really Gentiles, must come to Christ in Acts 2:38 as Gentiles or they will not be in the great number saved out of all nations. All Jews need to take my warning: because if Jews do not, their unbelief will cause them to remain cut off out of the olive tree and DEAD! I say this like Paul out of love for their souls. I will not lie to them like the Baptist and Dispensationalist and tell them they do not need Christ to be saved, that they can trust in the land grant covenant given to Abraham.

31.) I got the email that God chose the seed of Abraham in 1800BC. And this date is supposed to settle all matters. Well I guess not. I read Ephesians 1:4 and found out who the real "chosen" people are and this was way before 1800BC. The chosen people may have been the Israelites and the Jews before Calvary, BUT NOT AFTERWARD. The ONLY chosen people of God after Calvary are those from all nations who are in Christ. These are now the true Israel of God. I said so!

32.) If all Jews have eternal security and have the right to the eternal/everlasting covenant of Abraham, and cannot sin out of it: tell me how Judas could be told by Jesus it would be better he was never born than to betray the son of man? And how then could Judas go into hell as the son of perdition if he had security in the Abraham covenant? And if Judas can go to hell plotting murder how many more Jews will go to hell who never actually killed someone but played a hand in plotting it?

33.) My last in this series has to do with 70AD and the destruction of Jerusalem where according to Josephus 1.1 million Jews perished. How could God allow this if these all had the eternal/everlasting covenant of Abraham protecting them from God's wrath and anger? Jesus predicted this horrible loss of Jewish lives. And not one time did he promise them salvation because of the covenant of Abraham. If the Jews stick to the Old Testament and do not try to use the New here to their advantage: they will know that between 70AD and 1948AD there was NO ISRAEL. The Jews were evicted by God from Abraham's inheritance of the land. It is right here, if Abraham's covenant was unconditional, God could have proven it. He would not have allowed Jerusalem to be destroyed and the Jews scattered among the nations out of the Abraham land grant. It is only in the New Testament we have the Truth of this and prophecies by Jesus and the Apostles about it. And no where in these is the covenant of Abraham ever used to claim for the Jews any unconditional eternal security for their salvation or the land grant restored. What we are seeing in Israel may be the endtime antichrist government and regime. All that is needed to cap its existence purpose is their long awaited Messiah who we know will be the antichrist.

As far as Israel goes as a nation: regardless of what I believe about their rights to any of the covenant of Abraham, they do have a right to protect themselves and have what ever government they want. And all Jews, real ones or not, have a right to reject Jesus and observe what ever religion or non-religion they choose. As human beings we can respect the right to life of all Jews throughout the world. Nothing herein is written for the purpose of creating antisemitism. It is written to confront antichrist attacks upon the Israel of God which is the Church of Jesus Christ.

The whole idea that if anyone says anything bad about the Jews, that this makes God angry, is a big fat lie. Jesus and the Apostles had plenty to say.

Indeed, you cannot become a member of JMFI and hold the unscriptural doctrine you are teaching.

I pray Jesus is able to make you to see the truth of the glorious Gospel where there is neither Jew nor Gentile, but that all are counted lost that he may have mercy on all. As of right now, you do not see any of Israel as being lost. You believe they have an eternal/everlasting covenant and cannot ever be lost. And if you ever decide some are lost, please decide in that moment how they have the covenant of Abraham. The rich man learned he did not have eternal/everlasting eternal security just because of his flesh and blood.

Jesus and his Apostle John would disagree that Jews have a special deal worked out with God because of their inherited flesh and bloodline to Abraham:

John 1:12-13—"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believed on his name. Which were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, not of the will of man, but of God."

Indeed you can not now become a member of JMFI. Not only is your doctrine wrong. Your spirit is wrong.

Question for the serious Bible students:

If the rapture took place on the evening of the day of Pentecost, which Abraham's seed would have been counted for the seed of Abraham and enjoyed the eternal/everlasting covenant?

The Church Israel
or
The unbelieving Israel
???

If unbelieving Israel is ever not counted for the seed of Abraham, that is the day they are eternally lost. How then can they have eternal security with an eternal covenant?

If unbelieving Israel is cut off and has no eternal/everlasting covenant in Abraham, how then is the covenant eternal/everlasting still to them?
_________________________________

I was sent an email saying if I believe the Church Israel replaced the unbelieving Jews, that this means I hate Jews and I also am an antisemite.  Where did this insanity come from? It came from Jews who deny Jesus and his Church and say they are not Israel. The Jews would expel Christian Jews from the Temple and Synagogues saying:

"We are Israel and you are no more of Israel, you are Christians. And Christian Jews are no more of Israel. You are no more counted as the seed of Abraham. You are followers of that mamser Jesus."

Who was it that started the doctrine that not all Jews are Israel and not all Jews are counted for the seed of Abraham?

I was told if I believe the Church Israel replaced the unbelieving Jews that I have denied and destroyed the eternal/everlasting covenant God made with Abraham. This is an insane accusation.

I have said and taught that Jesus said:

"Upon this rock I will build my Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18).

The Israel of God as the Church (Ekklesia) at this time can only refer to a congregation of called out Israelites brought into a unity of religious purpose to fulfill the covenant of Abraham. This was the work of Jesus. To deny it is to attack the very purpose of Jesus creating his Israel out of Israel. His Church out of a Church. The Church and congregation here is not that body of people who were the Church Acts 7:38. The Church of Jesus came out of that Church in the wilderness. This Church was first a people of redeemed Israel. Later the redeemed of the Gentiles would be grafted into it by the Gospel. This is the Truth because I said so. This remnant of redeemed Israel and the redeemed Gentiles are the ones who are the beneficiaries of all the blessings of the eternal/everlasting covenant of Abraham. And the gates of hell will not prevail against this Truth. These are the true Jews (read Romans 2:28-29).

The Church Israel is the Israel who has the eternal/everlasting covenant and blessings of Abraham.

I see those who are against the Church Israel with the eternal/everlasting covenant and blessings of Abraham as the ones who represent the gates of hell.

Those who deny the Church Israel replaced the unbelieving Israel, are against the Church. They deny the fullness of the Church as the seed of Abraham. And they deny Gentiles are grafted into this Church Israel that has the eternal/everlasting covenant and blessings of Abraham.

I am Church Israel ONLY and proud of it.

And the gates of hell (which means death, gates of death), will not prevail against the Church Israel of God.

God has chosen all people of all nations and races to be his own. It is through the Lord Jesus Christ all nations can now partake in the eternal/everlasting covenant and blessings of Abraham. Jesus showed us the salvation of the nations is not about race but about grace. Before Calvary the Jews could lay claim to being the only beneficiaries of the Abraham covenant and blessings, but NOT AFTER CALVARY!

As this moral bankrupt and apostate generation continues to decline, Jesus is going to do a great endtime work with the Truth. Those who do not join up with Truth will eventually be carried away by winds of false doctrine and end up reprobate. This simple Bible study will separate the men from the boys and the prophets from the novices. Truth is powerful. Those who can grasp the Truths in this Bible study should become powerful in the Word. Truth will separate us from error. It is with this in mind I even took the time to share the information in this Study with you who are reading it.

Those with a devil in them will oppose this Bible study.
