Who is the Israel of God?

If you were to ask such a question to the vast majority of Christians today, they would promptly respond that it is the political state of Israel created in 1948. In general, the average Christian would consider themselves to be the “church”, while separating Israel to a country in the middle east.

Though a doctrine called dispensationalism, there is a distinct separation between who the “church” is and who “Israel” is, and the majority are taught this within their congregations, and very few question it. Ever since the introduction of the Scofield Bible (1909), taught in seminaries nationwide, which separates church from Israel, not only has prophesy been manipulated, but it is quite an identity crisis, when all throughout Scripture the assembly of God, Israel, is always His people, a covenant people of God.

A Little Clear Up On Romans 11

There is a very big misunderstanding on not only Romans 11, but also that those who deny that Jesus is YHWH(LORD)/God are not our brothers and sisters, regardless if they profess to be Jewish, Muslim, Jehovah witness, Mormon, etc. Those who are in Judaism, just like those who are Muslim, do not serve the same God, and the Scriptures make this clear(1 Joh 2:22-23).
 
Paul wrote the book of Romans between 56-57AD (this was the 1st Century), and the two Israel’s he was talking about were ethnic Israel after the flesh(Ishmael) and spiritual Israel(Isaac). Paul was not initially writing to people in the 20th or 21st century, or concerning a physical nation called Israel that came about in 1948. (Please readA Tale of Two Israel’s Part 1 and Part 2 if you would like more insight and clarity pertaining to this)
 
Yeshua/Jesus was ALWAYS the FULFILLMENT of TRUE ISRAEL, and thus those grafted into Him are grafted into Israel of the SPIRIT. This is why we become “One Flesh” when we enter into covenant with Him(Eph 5:30), and become Israel.

The Old Covenant was a type/shadow to lead to Yeshua our Mediator, His Body as the Temple, His Perfect Sacrifice, and an eternal inheritance.  In order for the Second Covenant (Issac/Spirit) to properly inherit, then the First Covenant (Ishmael/Flesh) had to be cast out.This is why the Flesh is nailed to the Cross.
