Romans 11:17-27
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree,
18 do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you.
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20 Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear…
24 For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 …so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;
26 and so all Israel will be saved…
Brethren, all who believe and will believe are grafted into the Olive Tree of Yisrael and are partakers of the root of Jesse, Yeshua HaMashiach. There is no mystery to be solved as to where the Church stands in relation to Israel or the Jews. Your identity belongs to the Olive Tree of Israel if you are a believer in Yeshua.
YOU ARE ISRAEL! ISRAEL is made up of two Houses: Judah (Jewish believers) and Ephraim (non-Jewish believers). Did you notice the common denominator; “believers”? Elohim has one family. The issue at hand is identity.
Those in the church do not understand their Hebrew roots and the Orthodox do not understand their Messiah. Two witnesses throughout eternity: Grace and Law. No choice needed because when we believe, the God of grace rights the law (Torah) on our hearts. By grace we are saved through faith so that we may walk in the law (Torah) of YHVH. The Torah is the works prepared beforehand for us to walk in.
The Torah is the evidence that James must see for you to have living faith as opposed to dead faith. Yeshua did not set us free and then leave us to flounder in how we should walk. He Himself walked in Torah. Our freedom in Christ was always meant to fall in line with our God’s commands.
Come out of the nations, YISRAEL! Hear O Israel and obey and it will be well with you. Walk in His precepts and He will bless you way and make straight your paths.
