Are you talking Two House, Rainie?
This was fulfilled by Christ on the cross..
Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you who were once afar off are made near by the blood of Christ.
Eph 2:14 For He is our peace, He making us both one, and He has broken down the middle wall of partition between us,
Eph 2:15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity (the Law of commandments contained in ordinances) so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, making peace between them;
Eph 2:16 and so that He might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity in Himself.
Eph 2:17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off, and to those who were near.
Eph 2:18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.
Eph 2:19 Now therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,
And what did the Lord always command in the Law?.. that those of any nation who loved Him and wanted to be joined to His people were more than welcome. He included them in Israel.
(Isa 14:1 MKJV) For Jehovah will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel and set them in their own land; and the stranger shall be joined with them, and they shall cling to the house of Jacob.
(Isa 56:3 MKJV) And do not let the son of the stranger, who has joined himself to Jehovah, speak, saying, Jehovah has utterly separated me from His people. And do not let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
(Zec 2:11 MKJV) And many nations shall be joined to Jehovah in that day, and shall be My people; and I will dwell in your midst, and you shall know that Jehovah of Hosts has sent me to you.
The house of Israel and the house of Judah are ONE in THE ONE, now. It is ONLY by Jesus... who is THE Israel. And He has inaugurated a 'new and living way'.
I'm not entirely sure we disagree.
I am apart of Israel.
What I'm saying is that when believer's deny being apart of Israel then they are denying God's people.
The New Covenant belongs to Israel and Judah. (Jer.31) is anyone else listed?
*This is the ONLY place in the Old Testament that the "NEW COVENANT" is specifically outlined.
So I believe as gentile believer's we can be grafted into (Rom.11) Israel. Therefore, ALL ISRAEL will be saved.
Because ALL ISRAEL includes the stranger.
I'm apart of Israel, God's people, by adoption, by faith, by grace and by the 'grafting in.'
God Bless
