Just posting a few scriptures showing Christ and Israel here (Im not into debating, just posting studies) If they can help someone great.

Mat 2:14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:

Hosea 11:1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

Mat 2:19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.

Acts 4:26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

Romans 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:

Romans 9:7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

Romans 9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

Luke 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you

Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Romans 8:9 ...Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Ephes 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

Gal 6:16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.


Interjecting, thought this was kool (which is another study too)

Heb 11:14-15 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

Gen 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

Heb 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

Exodus 3:6Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Looking at I and the children the LORD has given me (in this way)

Acts 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

Isaiah 8:18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.

Acts 14:3 Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace,and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

Heb 2:4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

Heb 2:13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again,Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

Here I repeat but you can see why he said the following...


[SIZE=+0][SIZE=+0][SIZE=+0][SIZE=+0][SIZE=+0][SIZE=+0][SIZE=+0]Isaiah 8:18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]


John 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

Ephes 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

Ephes 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

Sorry for repeating, theres like four verses you can springboard off of in relation to one verse and the last is not in this study but another
------------------------------


Still need to order these up better...

Of Christ here too this way...

Isaiah 8:14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Heres the two stumbling at Him

1Cr 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom


Further clarified next verse...

1Cr 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness


Yet unto both (Jew or Greek) which "are called"

1Cr 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Wherein this clarifies...

Rom 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:

"YE SHALL BE" (here)

Exodus 19:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

BUT YE ARE (here)

1Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Again....(I know I repeat)

Rom 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel

Rom 9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

Both again here...

Romans 9:24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Not the children of the flesh but the children of "the promise" (Spirit)

Gal 4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

The difference after a spiritual truth

Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Again...(I know Ill drive you crazy)

Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

The commonwealth of Israel (Making the two one fold in Christ)


Ephes 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us

Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Again...

Rom 9:3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

Ephes 3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

1Cr 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

Ephes 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Not finished, I have to slide them into each other and sometimes break the flow of it (here and there) I repeated to much certain verses too much but they catch together after the same truth.

This is pretty how these connect


Isaiah 42:5 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

1Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Ephes 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Isaiah 8:18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.

Heb 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

You can also connect them this way, I love how you can interchange them and show more in them each time, sometimes better then others


Isaiah 8:18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.

John 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

Ephes 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

Psalm 97:6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.

Ephes 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.


He has "seated us" in heavenly places with Christ, even so the heavens declare "His righteousness", they which turn many to righteouesness are as the stars, and He is the Father of lights

I have various on the Jews I always thought this one (though brief) would be sort of a blessing, I forget what I post or have posted half the time but this one blessed me seing God doing what he told them he would do here

He spake to them in declaring Jesus (here) and in Acts 13:41 (the prior verse) he references Hab 1:5

I love this part (as its witness to what is going on here) following just as the scripture speak of what was happening

Acts 13:42 And when **the Jews**were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles **besought** that **these words** might be preached to them the next sabbath.

Now, as God says (In His great scheme of things)

Duet 10:12 **They** have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; **they** have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move **them** to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke **them** to anger with a foolish nation.

Acts 13:45 But **when** the Jews **saw** the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and **spake against** those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. ^_^

1Peter 4:14... on **their part** he is **evil spoken of**, but on your part he is glorified.:thumbsup:

Thats the prophecy, its what he is "set for" (to be spoken against)

Luke 2:34 Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for **the fall** and rising again of many in Israel; and for **a sign** which shall be **spoken against**:thumbsup:

Romans 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke **them** to **jealousy**.

It worked, they were ticked off and jealous according to the intention God set it for

Ephes 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his **own will**

By His design and purpose

I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

He rocks :thumbsup:

God bless you brother
