The churches look at the world to understand the bible and they have been disappointed again. Praise God they are finally figuring out that the modern day Jews are not God’s true physical Israel. However another false doctrine has appeared. They are making Christ Israel saying He is God’s firstborn son. Christ must be a true Israelite as the Law of the Kinsman Redeemer requires it, but scripture says another is the firstborn. No spiritual aspect or non kin permitted.
Exodus 4:22 “And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn”.
Colossians 1:15 does not contradict Exodus 4:22. It does not say firstborn of God. Colossians 1:15 goes along with John 1.
There are two parables in the new testament that show that it is not Christ, but rather the two Houses of true Israel. See starting at Matthew 21:28 and Luke 15:11.
If one wants to understand the world, one must see it through the eyes of the bible. Look to see who has fulfilled all the promises intended for true physical Israel. Then you will have found Israel. You will find that they mostly no longer remember they are Israel as promised. They are known by a name of God, Christians. They have also taken the Gospel to the world while forming many Christian nations. There are over 100 promises.
Christ did not redeem Himself. Christ fulfilled the promises intended for Himself, Luke 24:44. Christ came to redeem true physical Israel. Christ did not fulfill the promises intended for physical Israel to fulfill.
True Israel today is among the Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, Germanic, Scandinavian and related peoples. It is up to you to decide to believe man or God’s word.
The modern day Jews are not God’s Israel people. They do not fulfill over 100 bible promises including Isaiah 59:21 and John 10:27.
