It is even more intrigueing if one looks at it as "COVENANTLE"What an intriguing study this is.
brinny said:Perhaps, however, i prefer to start with Who this God is Who calls Himself the God of Israel. There's a history to this name.

Thank you kindly for your input.

brinny:
Understood. I'll just add this to my previous comments and hopefully quickly tie it all together:
Exodus 32:25-29
"And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies): Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, WHO IS ON THE LORD'S SIDE? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. And he said unto them, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour. And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day."
This was right after the incident with the golden calf. Here, THE GOD OF ISRAEL, through Moses, instructed the Levites who chose to be on the LORD's side and therefore received the blessing of the priesthood to slay their own idolatrous brothers, companions and neighbours. Again, I'm merely seeking to show that THE GOD OF ISRAEL is the God of those who are truly on His side and not just Israelites by birth.
Whoa! This is interesting.Great Bible verses, yet there is no mention of the "God of Israel". Here's what i'm studying on:
Does the name "God of Israel" originate from the re-naming of Jacob to "Israel"?
Whoa! This is interesting.
The phrase "God of Israel" is only mentioned 2 times in the NT according to this concordance. Never noticed that before
First time used:
NKJV) Exodus 5:1 Afterward Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel: 'Let My people go, that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness.' "
NKJV) Matthew 15:31 So the multitude marveled when they saw [the] mute speaking, [the] maimed made whole, [the] lame walking, and [the] blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
NKJV) Luke 1:68 "Blessed [is] the Lord God of Israel, For He has visited and redeemed His people,

Hello GWSaucy:
I love that "STOP FOLLOWING ME!" graphic. Can I borrow it to use elsewhere (I deal with a lot of people who believe in evolution)?
LLoJ:
I didn't know that I was in line for blessings. That's not why I participated, but thanks anyway.
The name Israel (besides meaning the nation or the man) means a prince with God or he who rules or strives with God. Maybe it can be put another way by saying who is on the Lord's side.

I would say this verse explains it
Young) Genesis 32:28 And he saith, `Thy name is no more called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast been a prince with God and with men, and dost prevail.'
The only time those 2 are mentioned together in the NT is this 1 verse in Romans

Romans Chapter 11
Young) Romans 11:26 and so all Israel shall be saved, according as it hath been written, `There shall come forth out of Sion he who is delivering, and he shall turn away impiety from Jacob,
Actually, Adam was the first human being "ish", and the second is He who is the sar/prince, God/El. So He is the Ish-Sar -El, shortened to "Israel", and that is the name of the second human being creation made as a temple for the Glory to bear, which Adam, the first human being race creation, lost at the fall. The Firstborn/Head of the New Man race is Christ come in flesh of that second human being creation flesh.The name Israel (besides meaning the nation or the man) means a prince with God or he who rules or strives with God. Maybe it can be put another way by saying who is on the Lord's side.
