Israel Is God SEPARATE PPL, SEPARATE LAND HOLY Flashcards
God dived the nations. Israel is his portion, he sets rulers over the nations, but He is the Ruler of Israel
Ecclesiasticus 17:17-21
[17]For in the division of the nations of the whole earth he set a ruler over every people; but Israel is the Lord’s portion:
[18]Whom, being his firstborn, he nourisheth with discipline, and giving him the light of his love doth not forsake him.
[19]Therefore all their works are as the sun before him, and his eyes are continually upon their ways.
[20]None of their unrighteous deeds are hid from him, but all their sins are before the Lord
[21]But the Lord being gracious and knowing his workmanship, neither left nor forsook them, but spared them.
Does God still have a chosen ppl to rule, or have he cast them off? He no longer discriminate?
Romans 11:1-5
[1]I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
[2]God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
[3]Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
[4]But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
[5]Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
