——>Still there, Israel is still a nation before the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Unfortunately for them, they are not OF CHRIST. You still continue to deny that God gave them one final chance to repent, as a nation (Daniel 9). They doubled down in unbelief. The kingdom was taken from them, as clearly stated by Jesus Christ.

Try to understand this: Israel is not ISRAEL, according to the bible, according to God. Israel is not OF CHRIST. It is now ONLY about the people, who may be grafted back in, after being cut off (Romans 11).

Unfortunately for them, they are not OF CHRIST. You still continue to deny that God gave them one final chance to repent, as a nation (Daniel 9). They doubled down in unbelief. The kingdom was taken from them, as clearly stated by Jesus Christ.

As clearly written, the kingdom was taken from the chief priests and Pharisees, who sat in Moses' seat, and given to the Jewish apostles who followed Jesus. Israel is Israel, according to the scriptures. I have searched the scriptures. There are only two Gentile prophets/prophetesses: Balaam and Jezebel.

Romans 9:1-5
  1. I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
  2. That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
  3. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
  4. Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
  5. Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.


Romans 11:1-29
  1. I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
  2. God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
  3. Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
  4. But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
  5. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
  6. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
  7. What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
  8. (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
  9. And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompence unto them:
  10. Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
  11. I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
  12. Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
  13. For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
  14. If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
  15. For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
  16. For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
  17. And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
  18. Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
  19. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
  20. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
  21. For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
  22. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
  23. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
  24. For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
  25. For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
  26. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
  27. For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
  28. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
  29. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.


Isaiah 59:16-21
  1. And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.
  2. For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.
  3. According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.
  4. So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
  5. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
  6. As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
