Does the "Israel" of the Bible refer to the nation of Israel now residing in the area of Palestine?
What is the Organizational Make-up of this Beast Power?

How Does God Define His “Wrath”?
“Romans is dominated by three great doctrines: Justification, Conciliation and Sovereignty. God’s own righteousness, which He shares with the sinner, His own peace, which He imparts to the believers, and His own indomitable will, which forms the immovable basis of all blessing, are the bulk and burden of this epistle.” Concordant Commentary, p 229
Circumcision of the Heart
1" Wherefore, defenseless are you, O man, everyone who is judging, for in what you are judging another, you are condemning yourself, for you who are judging are committing the same things."
God’s Law in Our Heart – Not on the Wall!
1 "What, then is the prerogative of the Believer (Judean – “Jew”), or what is the benefit of circumcision?"
The first mention of circumcision in the Bible is in Genesis 17:10 where God tells Abraham that Sarah will bear him a son - Isaac. The act of circumcision was to represent Abraham’s faith in God, that God would keep His promise. It was a “cutting off of the flesh” that symbolized Abraham’s belief in God rather than a belief in his own “flesh.”
What Does it Mean to be “Justified by Faith”?
The word justify means to constitute righteous or “to make right.” It does not mean to forgive or to pardon as if unjust, but to pronounce not guilty, to acquit, or to vindicate. When we repent, God remembers our sin no more. But that does necessarily mean that we won’t reap what we have sown.
More Good News About God. You CAN’T Out-Sin Grace!
1 "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. "
What is peace? Most people have the idea that it is a sort of ecstatic feeling. They think that peace with God means an indescribably heavenly feeling; and so, they always look for that imaginary feeling as evidence that they are accepted with God.
1) Is the Second Death a Literal “Hell!”
2) What Does it Mean to be “Under Grace” And NOT “Under the Law?”
“In Romans 5, we learned that as sinners we are enemies of God, but are reconciled, that is, freed from sin, by receiving the righteousness of Christ’s life, which has no limit. No matter how greatly the sin may abound, grace does much more abound.” Waggoner, Ellet J., Waggoner on Romans, p 6.109
1 "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?"
Why Do Christians Find Paul’s Writings So Hard to Understand?
Because Paul understands Spiritual things. He writes with “revelation” knowledge – NOT “sense” knowledge. Read on and you will see!
Faith vs Works
“Faith - without the works – is DEAD!
Interpretation: “Faith – without the actions that correspond to that faith (works) – is DEAD!” James 2:26
1 "Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel (those who claimed to be believers in the One true God) is, that they might be saved."
Paul is speaking of those (“Israel” = the believers, as opposed to the “nations” – the unbelievers) who had been given the most extensive revelations on the ways and requirements of God. Yet through centuries, not only had they wandered away from God numerous times, but they had murdered Jesus Christ, God Incarnate.
The “Jews” are NOT God’s “Chosen People!”
Certainly one of the most IMPORTANT – and probably the most MISINTERPRETED – of all the chapters in the entire Bible.
Before we begin the study of Romans, Chapter 11, we must define the terms found herein. We must interpret the Bible, both the Old and the New Testament through Jesus Christ – NOT through “Israel.” Jesus, Himself, said that the Old Testament is about HIM! As Jesus said to the Pharisees when He was on earth, at a time when the ONLY Scriptures that were available were the Old Testament Scriptures. (The New Testament had not yet been written.):
“You search the Scriptures, thinking that in them you have eternal life, but they (the Old Testament Scriptures) are they which testify OF ME!” John 5:39
Can Someone REALLY Live This Way?
1 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your logical divine service."
“God is no longer pleased with dead sacrifices but asks for living offerings. He longs for worship in spirit and in truth. Hence, we have no altar or ritual, with bleeding victims that never did satisfy God, but we offer our bodies, dead indeed to Him, yet energized by His Spirit, so that they are employed in good deeds, which ascend as a sweet savor to Him.” Concordant Commentary, p 242
God is the ONLY Judge
Let it not be forgotten that this chapter, as well as those which precede, is addressed to the true followers of Christ, and not to those who do not profess to serve the Lord. In the sixth verse it is plainly shown that all who are spoken of in this chapter are those who acknowledge God as their Lord. This chapter therefore tells us how we should regard one another as Servants of One Common Master.
1 "Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations."
Why Was Jesus sent “ONLY to the Lost Sheep of the house of Israel”?
“But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Matthew 10:6
“But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 15:24
This chapter opens with the exhortation that we are to bear the infirmities of the weak and in verse 7 it says, “Wherefore receive ye one another.” How are we to receive one another? The answer is, “As Christ also received us.” This again emphasizes the statement that the apostle had not the slightest intention in any way of depreciating any one of the Ten Commandments when in the fourteenth chapter he said: “One man esteemeth one day above another; another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.”
Peter was NOT the First Pope & Women as “Ministers” IN THE BIBLE!
Two-thirds of the last chapter of Romans consists of greetings:
“Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus.” “Likewise greet the ecclesia that is in their HOUSE.” “Greet Mary, who bestowed much labor on us.” “Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen.” Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.” Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.” “Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nercus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.”
And so the list runs, including both men and women impartially.
An Open Letter to any Minister who teaches "the Jews are Israel".
DEAR MINISTER OR BIBLE TEACHER:
I understand you believe that the people we know today as "Jews" are God's "Chosen People," the Israel people of the Bible. You, and others, call them "The Chosen Race," "God's Chosen People," "Israel," "The Children of Israel," and other very complimentary names in relation to God. I also understand you believe the Jewish occupation of Palestine to be the prophetic "return of Israel" to "their" land.
Almost everyone who reads the Holy Bible will agree that it was written by, to, and about Israelites. Isn’t it surprising then, to realize that the race that reads, prints, and distributes the Holy Bible, and claims it as its divinely-inspired religious book, is not the Jews, who most ministers insist are the Israelites, but is instead the people of Europe (and as they have spread to America, Australia, New Zealand, etc)? Is it possible the Jews are not Israelites after all, but that instead you folks, whose ancestors came from Europe are the true descendants of the Israelites? What a different picture that would make of the Bible, of current history, and prophecy!
According to the Bible, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were to take the light of God's Word to the ends of the earth; and to be a blessing to all the other races of the world. World Christian missions bave been carried out primarily by the so-called Gentile races of Europe and North America. Is it possible that these people of Europe and of America are fulfilling other prophecies about Israel also? I am going to demonstrate that the New Testament, which Christians accept as a divinely inspired part of the Bible, is addressed to these same descendants of Abraham we've been reading about in the Old Testament (in the booklet The Old Testament Christians). It is rather common today in theological circles to divide the Bible into two parts, and take the first part, that portion written before Christ, and say, oh, that was all written to the Jews; and then take the second part, that portion written after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and say, that is addressed to Gentile Christians.
God told father Abraham in Genesis 12:2-3, “Thou shalt be a blessing, and in thee shall all the families of the Earth be blessed.” Christians are told in the New Testament in Galatians 3:9, “So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.”
Has Christendom lost sight of its roots in the Old Testament? Almost all radio ministers today, make frequent mention of God’s promises to Abraham in Genesis 12, However, almost without exception, they apply those promises to the people who call themselves ‘Jews’ and who are now trying to establish a nation in ancient Palestine. And yet, as we have seen in the booklet The New Testament and Israel, the New Testament writers addressed themselves to those who believed in Jesus Christ, and applied the Abrahamic Covenants and promises to those Christian believers. So now, I am going to read some of the covenants and promises that God made to Abraham, and we’ll see not only what they were, but we’ll be able to see in what people those covenants and promises have been kept. My contention is that they have been kept in and among the people and nations we call collectively, Christendom. That they have been and could be fulfilled only In the people to whom Jesus Christ came.
Historic Jerusalem is not Prophetic Jerusalem "For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem" (Isaiah 2:3).
Jerusalem, Jerusalem — There is probably more confused preaching in recent years on "Jerusalem" than on any other name from Scripture except perhaps "Jew." Scripture, such as that quoted above, is used by a great many Christian ministers to mean the literal city of Jerusalem in old Palestine. They say that there God is going to restore His Israel people and begin to set up His earthly kingdom from which Jewish missionaries will go out to preach the gospel all over the world! Other ministers claim this Jerusalem is a "heavenly" city located somewhere other than on the earth.
The following study material appeared twice before in leading religious magazines, and many calls have come for the material in tract form. So, we offer it now in this form in hopes that it will shed light on the Bible and also open the way for a ready acceptance of the proper identity of Israel as the Anglo-Saxon and kindred people.
A few years ago, the writer was in the home of a friend, and as I looked over her books, I saw that she had one of these large dictionaries that are usually found only in public libraries. I said to her, "May I use your dictionary?" I knew that she had always been interested in the correct use of the words, so I thought that this would be a good way to start a conversation regarding our Identity with Israel. I turned the pages to find the word "gentile."
In Revelation chapter 17, John writes of a fearful vision of a woman who reigned over the kings of the earth; he described her this way in verse 6: "And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus." In verse 5 she is given a name: "Mystery, Babylon the Great" What John saw was a great anti-Christian, world-ruling system, which would control all nations, and which would bring such death and destruction upon the followers of Jesus Christ that John said she was "drunken with their blood."
Many today are prophesying the end of world freedom. Some speak of an anti-Christ or an anti-Christ system which will rule all the world and bring great tribulation upon the earth's people. Some have even begun to identify that system with such existing organizations as the U.N., the Council on Foreign Relations, and, in recent years, the Trilateral Commission headed up by Rockefeller. While the people of one nation are being killed by the people of another nation in wars waged sometimes on several continents at the same time; the ruling classes of each nation continue to travel safely between nations, lending money and selling food and the weapons of war to both sides of the conflict.
