Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

 

Amen! Everyone, regardless of race or ethnicity, can become a child of God by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit! (Acts 10:34). However, "to the Jew first, then the Greek." And the natural-born Jews and Israelites have a head-start, if they're grounded in the Scriptures like Timothy was, instructed by his faithful mother and loving grandmother (Rom. 3:1-2, Acts 3:25-26, 2 Tim.1:5, 3:15).

 

Many of those who foolishly oppose the family reunion of Israel (all twelve tribes brought together again) usually do so out of a misguided zeal, fearing or misunderstanding that salvation is thereby somehow being denied to Gentiles. It isn't. Rather it's part of the process of national redemption, the healing reconciliation process, of Jews and Israelites being reminded of their Hebrew roots and biblical responsibilities (Rom. 11:25-26, Malachi 4:6).

 

Everyone must become - not merely physical Jews, which is incomplete - but spiritual Jews through Christ, the Seed, grafted into spiritual Israel that began with physical Abraham.

 

Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands...

 

After what? After the fact that 144,000 PHYSICAL ISRAELITES have been converted, which God gets very specific about, then comes the Gentile multitude, following the biblical principle of "to the Jew (Israelite) first, then the Gentile."

 

The ethnocentric Bible deals with RACE and GRACE. We shouldn't shy away from that fact just because some have abused it. God is glorified by preserving His physical people, keeping His promises of physical blessing upon the twelve tribes of Jacob-Israel, proving His Word is good and faithful and true, which means we can therefore trust His spiritual promises made to all of us through the Jew Jesus Christ, His Son!
