There are different groups of saved people in the Bible. One group is the Israelites, one is the Church and one are the gentiles. It is only when you come to understand this that the Bible can be rightly divided. Those in the Church are considered a heavenly people who are given heavenly promisses. We sit in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. Isreal is God's chosen people of the earth with earthly promisses. They were given the high honour of being set apart by God to recieve his Word and chosen as a people to be in the line of The Saviour of the whole earth. God chooses to rule over the earth from the midst of them. He has promissed them the land of Isreal. This will be fullfilled in the age to come. Isreal shall be the joy of the whole earth. The gentile nations shall bring their wealth unto her. Here are some of the many verses that refer to Israel in the future.
