God's divorce of Israel

Excuse me, but I want to make sure I understand what you are saying. Are you suggesting that God is finished with Israel?

Well, folks, this Sunday is my favorite Sunday in the Sunday school calendar: Sanctity of Human Life. That, together with the persecuted church and bible prophecy are very very dear to me. So, I am to log off until I have a solid good lesson ready. It should take a couple of days. If this thread is still alive, I shall be back!

Yes and no. Yes, God is finished with Israel as a nation distinct from all the nations of the earth. No, God is not finished with Israel the people who are scattered throughout all the nations of the world and have been coming to faith in Jesus Christ for 2000 years.

“But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, "In Isaac your seed shall be called." That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.” (Rom. 9:6-8)

“Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: 'Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, The remnant will be saved.'” (Rom. 9:27)

When a physical descendant of Abraham comes to Christ, they are regrafted into the root and counted again among the spiritual children of Abraham (Gal. 3:28,29). The salvation of every Jew is evidence that God is not finished with Israel.
