‘Israel was not a place but a people. They were not just a people but a peculiar people. You are not Israel just because you say you are. Do you manifest the peace of Israel like the prince of peace?

Romans 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

Israel should be walking in The Way of faith which is the way of Abraham, Moses, and even Jesus if they all serve the same God.

Exodus 4:22 “And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel [is] my son, [even] my firstborn:”

Psalms 89:18 “For the LORD [is] our defence; and the Holy One of Israel [is] our king.”‘

Matthew 2:6 And thou Bethlehem, [in] the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

This is a clear statement saying that if Jesus is the Christ, he shall rule Israel. Anyone who rejects the king or chooses another king is no longer Israel.

Even those who mocked Jesus knew he was the king of Israel.

Mark 15:32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.’
