THE KINSMAN REDEEMER. BOAZ & RUTH.

AMEN! This teaching never grows old ❤️

With respect to the study . . .I immediately think of Cain. "Am I my brother's keeper? " Yes . . we are. James 1:27 "27Pure religion and vndefiled before God and the Facher, is this, to visit the fatherlesse and widowes in their affliction, and to keepe himselfe vnspotted from the world."

All Israel will be saved (Romans 11:26), I take to mean all who put their faith in Messiah for salvation regardless of nationality, as salvation is only through faith in Christ (Acts 4:12).

The coming New Jerusalem and redeemed Israel have nothing to do with modern ,meanings/understandings of those words. In Hebrew, Israel means "he who struggles with God". Israel was a name given to an individual, previously Jacob, because of his character. He struggled with God throughout his life and prevailed by clinging to his faith throughout. His offspring were Israelites to identify from whom they originated. The name was not some panacea to cause them to be saved. The word "Jew" comes from the word "YahudI" which means "People of God; People who Thank God". Both Israel and Yahudi/Yahudem are words that speak to the mindset of the individual . . not what they called themselves or their bloodline. Many many "Hebrews" and "Israelites" and "Jews" abandoned their faith and status as Yahudi/Yahudem (eg the Tribe of Dan), until only one physical area remained which followed the belief system, Judea. And Judea was ruled by apostate non-believers. If you struggle with God throughout and cling to your faith . . you will be saved. It has nothing to do with where you are from or who your parents are. This is why Jesus said you must be born again of the spirit. Your bloodline is irrelevant. For these reasons, I don't see any mass conversion to true Christianity of those who call themselves Jews at some future date. Or any mass redemption of men and women who live in the nation state now called "Israel". It will be as in the Days of Noah when Christ returns. Almost entirely apostate. Jesus himself asked if there will be faith in the earth when he returns. He didn't say that there will be faith among the Israelites because I will convert them back to follow me. Jesus lamented that he wanted to gather them to him as a hen with chicks but they would not be gathered to him. For this refusal, judgement was pronounced on physical Jerusalem and non-believing Hebrews long ago. The 'Jews" that exist now in name believe in a different god and are not Israel.
