WHO IS ISRAEL?
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people.
Luke 1:68
Who is Israel?
It’s the spiritual family of God.
When Jacob wrestled with the Lord, God gave him a new name called Israel.
Israel the name conferred on Jacob after the great
prayer-struggle at Peniel.
(Gen 32:28)
In Mat 24:30, the word tribe has a wider significance. The tribes of Israel are referred to as types of the spiritual family of God
Matthew 24
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall ALL THE TRIBES OF the EARTH shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
(Note: it doesn’t say the tribes of Israel. It says ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH)
(Also it says that “they shall see the Son of man.”
That would be Jesus.)
Who’s looking for Jesus to come?
It’s Israel which is the spiritual family of God. It’s those why have Accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
