ISRAEL IS FOREVER AND JERUSALEM WILL BE
MADE A PRAISE IN ALL THE EARTH
WE BELIEVE, that when ANY PERSON puts his trust in Yeshua as Messiah, they are grafted (or re-grafted) into the olive tree of Israel, by faith. Faith in Israel's Messiah Yeshua makes one a member of the Commonwealth of Israel. Abraham believed YHVH (God) and it was credited to him as righteousness. If we are in Messiah, we are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the Promise. (Genesis 15:6; Romans 11:17-27; John 8:33-34; Ephesians 2:11-19; Galatians 3:29).
Genesis 12:1-2 (NASB) 12 Now the Lord (YHVH) said to Abram, “Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father’s house, To the land which I will show you; 2 And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing;
Unconditional - YHVH swears by no one higher than Himself.
Hebrews 6:13-14 (NKJV) 13 For when God (YHVH) made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, 14 saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”
Genesis 12 is an unconditional covenant, the only covenant that cannot be broken.
Everything is still “wrapped around” His oath of Genesis 12.
Genesis 15:17-18 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that PASSED BETWEEN THOSE PIECES (which was the pieces of the animals). In the same day YHVH made a covenant with Abram, saying, ‘Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: ‘
YHVH, the Creator of the universe, made an everlasting covenant with Abraham.
Galatians 3:16 (NKJV) 16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ (Messiah).
In Zechariah 12:2 YHVH says, "I will make Jerusalem a THRESHOLD of trembling."
In other words, Jerusalem is the anointed place where Messiah will reign, and where YHVH has placed His Name. It is the threshold of His "house".
This is important.
If Jerusalem is the threshold of YHVH where the covenant is made with all nations, then what blood was shed at that "threshold" to regather us back to His covenant? Yeshua’s.
Yeshua was sent as the Lamb of YHVH whose blood was shed in Jerusalem (the threshold of YHVH) so that we can be renewed into His Covenant and be Israel .
John 1:12-13 (NKJV) 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God (YHVH), to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God (YHVH).
1 Peter 2:6 (NKJV). Therefore it is also contained in the scripture,"Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means put to shame". Isaiah 228:16, Psalm 118.22, Mark 12:10, Acts 4:11.
Yeshua was not sent to shed His blood so that we can reject the Royal Covenant Torah (Law) of YHVH.
Yeshua was sent to shed his blood because we have all transgressed YHVH's Torah; because all have sinned and broke His Torah.
Hebrews 8:7-10 (NKJV) 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. 8 Because finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
YHVH will confirm the Covenant and Yeshua will return to the Mount of Olives to rule and reign for 1,000 years.
Just like Abraham we fix our eyes above:
Hebrews 11:8a+10 (NKJV) 8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. 10 for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is (YHVH) God.
Revelation 21:1-4 (NKJV) 21 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from (YHVH) God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (NB: good to read the whole chapter)
