ah, there are two Israel’s in the Scriptures.

the Israel of the old covenant was Israel after the flesh, national Israel. this Israel was a type of the true Israel.
the kingdom was taken from this Israel due to unbelief and given to a new nation.

the Israel of the new covenant is the true Israel of God, the new nation that has been given the kingdom. this Israel is based not on flesh, but on faith. Jesus Christ is the Israel of God, the promised descendant of father Abraham, so anyone in Christ is a true heir to the promises made to Abraham. the true Israel is comprised of both Jews and Gentiles, who are made one in the Body of Christ.

national Israel will no longer bear fruit, it is the spiritual Israel that all the nations of the world will be blessed.

Have you moved back to the land God promised to bring His people back to?
