editor, do you have any idea WHY we are grafted in to the Hebrew root of the tree? It's because of the Abrahamic Covenant God made with Israel. That they would be a blessing to all nations. That through them Gentiles would find God. When Israel rejected Christ as Messiah, they were blinded and set aside. (lo ammi). How then could Gentiles EVER be saved? We were "without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world:"(Eph. 2:12).

When Christ saved Paul and sent him forth with the gospel of the grace of God, and reconciliation through the finished work of Christ, He did that, not BECAUSE Israel had believed, but DESPITE the fact that Israel had NOT believed.

This means that we, the Body of Christ, are NOW God's agent for the continued execution of the plan of God (Eph. 3:1-11). We have taken Israel's place for now. But ONLY until the fullness of the Gentiles has been brought in (ROm. 11:25)...until the body of Christ is complete.

Yes, we are now grafted into the Hebrew root of the tree. As God's "people". As the ones doing God's work, as the ones who have been kept secret since the world began, as the ones who are spreading His good news about grace. All things Israel SHOULD have been doing, but did not, as they rejected Messiah. Once again, we are NOT Israel. Never have been, never will be. We are God's ELECT AGENCY during this time of the grace of God. Just like Israel USED to be, and WILL be again, after we are removed. Get it?

Do you not realize that most of the so-called gentile church are actually the Hebrew diaspora?

What you post is a sophistry, as it ignores the visible evidence. For example there are two strains of surnames in scandinavia, the Slavic root names, and Hebrew names with ‘son’ appended.

Similar situations exist in many other countries.

Only Yehova can fully discern his remnant.
