After
the crucifixion of Christ, the Jews have been rejected by God as his people.
In 70 A.D. , Jerusalem was destroyed by the
Romans and Jews in fulfillment of prophecy was scattered over all peoples.
"And the Lord shall scatter thee..." ( Deut 28.64 -
conditional prophecy ).
After
the Jews rejected Christ, the Gospel was preached to pagans, who took it with
joy ( Acts 13.45-48, 15.3,7,12-
19
). Faces of the Gentiles were welcomed as the true Israel of God ( Acts 15.7-11
; Rom 2.28-29, 11.11-26 ; Eph 2.18-19 ).
Matthias
replacing Israel (Jews and others) through faith in Christ and revival can be
adopted AGAIN in the number of true Israel of God ( Rom 11.1,23-24 ; 2 Cor 3.15-16
). Non-believers are Jews (fleshly) does not accept the Gospel of Christ, NOT
CONSIDERED to BE children of God and are not among the true Israel ( John
6.39,44 ; Rom 2.28, 9. 6-8 ).
“144000”
(symbolic number) - this
is the CHRISTIANS, because they were "slaves of God" and "follow
the Lamb" (
Rev 7.1-4, 14.15 ).
Thus,
the whole of Israel (Jews and Gentiles) WILL SAVED ( Rom 11.23-27, Matt 23.29 ).
Spiritual Israel, faithful to God in the New Testament is called "the rest"
( Rome 9.27-29,11.2-5 ; Rev 12.17 ).
The
Scriptures teach that will be the SECOND GATHERING of the true Israel of God (
Is 11.1, Mih 4.6-8, Sof 3.10-20
).
It will be held in the
FIRST RESURRECTION, when the righteous dead live will be collected at the
second coming (1 Thess 4.11-17, Matt 24.31, Ezekiel 37.12-18, Mih 4.6-8 ). They
will go where Christ will prepare them ( John 14.1-3, Thess 4.14-18 ).
