Who Is Spiritual Israel?

It has long  been pondered the dilemma of  broaching the subject of holidays. They are  generationally inspired  events that evoke heartfelt goodness and  “tradition”. Most if not all  of the civilized world follows some sort of  a socialized pattern of  solemn reflection and or merriment as it  relates to an ancient  transition from one season to another especially  the winter solstice  and spring equinox and their modern day equivalent.  This has been  ongoing through the annuals of history for a very long  time. Only the  social strictures of the event change from time to time.  It comes as no  surprise if one studies the origins of these time honored  occurrences,  another pattern emerges that runs contrary to modern day  political  correctness and the person who shares this information is  considered a  social outcast, anti-social, and inherently strange. Most  will say: “It  doesn’t mean that to me” or “you don’t want to disappoint  the kids do  you? And besides, everyone does it so it must be OK right?” 
 

Most  of our society nowadays is  based on “feelings”. This is something that  can also be termed social  conformity or situational ethics. I’m not  going to bore you with all  the details of this except to say that when  you play the “dialectic  dance” trying to convince yourself that all  these things can be agreed  on by coming to some kind of consensus, then  you have missed the point.  The point is God’s Word. You only have one  way to worship God not two.
 

Just because pagan practices   “morphed” into the veneer of organized Christianity over the years (to   say nothing of the overt obviousness of Halloween) does not mitigate  the  true Christians responsibility to “assume” that the observance of  the  event would be justified under modern day conditions. Quite to the   contrary.
 

WHAT REALLY MATTERS:
 

When Jesus as God told  Nicodemus  (a master and teacher of the law) representing Israel that he  had to be  “born again” as spiritual Israel; he was stating that the old  covenant  system of altar sacrifices and works was being replaced by a  spiritual  “translation” and the inside of where Jesus lives as a called  out  assembly or church ek-klay-see’-ah (it was never capitalized as a   proper noun) that this place resides in each believer. It comes as no   surprise that the disciples marveled (in Mark 13:1, Matt 24:1, &   Luke 21:5) when they saw the magnificent stones that made up the temple   and buildings of their day and never realized that they had the true   spiritual Temple standing right in front of them. They were still   thinking in the flesh just like Nicodemus..  
 

Replacement  theology teaches that  the “Church” replaced Israel when in fact Israel  was never replaced.  It was re-born from the physical to the spiritual.  This was the whole  point of Jesus stating “ye must be born again”.  Israel was never  replaced. Never. Read Rom 2:28 & 29. Jesus came to  save the “lost  sheep of the house of Israel” which in point of fact he  did. This is  NOT a future event. When he said “it is finished” as he  hung on the  cross; It IS finished. Either a person is born again as  spiritual  Israel or they are not..
 

God will always preserve His   remnant (a surviving trace or vestige). Unfortunately, they will not be   found in the “traditions of men”, “customs”, or “sacrifices”. They can   usually be found in the spiritual wilderness or desert and not part of   the conformed world system. They are truly a called out people. A   peculiar people.
 

THE DESERT:
 

When you are in the desert,  you  literally fear for your life every day not knowing if tomorrow will   come. Your only hope for survival is in the Lord. You will have left   “spiritual Egypt” never looking back and praying that God will sustain   you throughout the onslaught of trials and tribulations.
 

THE RESPONSIBILITY:
 

You  will also have a  responsibility to warn others of danger. Take for  instance the days in  which we live. Like a slow motion train wreck, we  are faced with a  deluge (flood) of dire prognostications. While people  say there is  nothing they can do about it; invariably, they normally  don’t change  which exacerbates the condition hence the spiritual  paradox.  
 

The irony is – when change does  occur (like a flood  as spoken of “as in the days of Noah”) will they  get into the true  spiritual protective ark of Jesus Christ? or, will  they say: it’s all  how you interpret it..
 

Will people have the “oil in their  lamps”  to see (read spiritually see) when it is at the darkest hour?  Just like  “physical Israel” that was translated into “spiritual Israel”  – will a  person have the oil in their lamps and be able to see this?  Or will they  say “no” and dialog to consensus all the while staying in  modern day  spiritual Egypt.
 

Ye must be born again. And believe  in him (John  3:7 & 3:15). Notice that the born again part comes  first. If you  say you believe in him and remain in a corporation that  is joined at the  hip legally with the government; you are not born  again as spiritual  Israel.
 

THE EXODUS PART 2:
 

The Word of God specifically   talks about “MYSTERY BABYLON” in Rev 18. Mystery is defined as an   “enigma”. An enigma is further quantified as puzzling, not easily   understood, or a riddle (e.g. a question or statement requiring thought   to answer or understand). It goes without saying that almost 2000  years  later; John saw the symbiotic and symbolic relationship between   so-called church & state. Obviously, the people entwined in this   prophetic picture don’t even know it applies to them (or deny it   outright).
 

THE QUALIFIER:
 

When God spoke through the   Apostle John as stated in Rev 18:4 “saying Come out of her my people,   that ye be not partakers of her sins, and receive not of her plagues”;   there is absolutely no ambiguity here. God said what He meant and,  meant  what He said.
 

The ultimate question (yes or no  answer) is: will  a person be able to leave the pyramidal construct  (structure) of  Egypt/Babylon with it’s time honored religious component  and step out  into the desert with the Lord. Ye must be born again (as  spiritual  Israel).
 

THE TIMES IN WHICH WE LIVE -
 

…are singularly  timely in that  the world’s financial pyramids are collapsing. They were  obviously  built on sand. All those things that Jesus as God predicted  are finally  coming to pass in their full manifestation. The Word of God  predicted  that it eventually would. Even in Jesus’ day he had refuted  the  relationship between the political: Rome, and the religious: the   Sanhedrin. Today, we have the same dynamic (after all these years).  Some  things never change. You can deny it all you want but, it is what  it  is.
 

We are at the final fulfillment of  this age. Will you leave  Egypt and step out into the spiritual  wilderness with the Lord before  the pyramid (world system) crashes?
 

Again - the Lord was telling   Nicodemus that he had to leave physical Israel and be born again into   spiritual Israel. The first time physical Israel had to leave physical   Egypt. Now, spiritual Israel has to leave spiritual Egypt/Babylon.
 

THE PLAGUES:
 

The  plagues are coming. The  Israelites in the original sequence DID NOT get  raptured. This time  they will again get sealed with the “spiritual  blood of the Lamb” and  be lead through the wilderness by the Lord. The  same tests will apply.  The Lord was in their camp originally and they  passed “over” from death  to life. This will happen again for one final  exodus.
 

You must come out of her per Rev  18:4 as stated: “Come  out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of  her sins, and receive  not of her plagues”.
 

I Corinthians v. 1-4 & v. 11 provide more clarification:
 

1  Moreover, brethren, I would not  that ye should be ignorant, how that  all our fathers were under the  cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2  And were all baptized unto  Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 And did  all eat the same spiritual  meat; 4 And did all drink the same spiritual  drink: for they drank of  that spiritual Rock that followed them: and  that Rock was Christ. 
 

And in the 11th verse:  
 

11 Now  all these things happened  unto them for examples (a pattern or  similitude): and they are written  for our admonition (warning), upon  whom the ends of the world are come.
 

The world’s institutions are crumbling right now before your very eyes.
 

Will you follow God’s clarion call to come out of her? (there is only one right answer) Yes.
 

Please help me get this message out to as many others as you possibly can.
 

Thank you and may God bless you in this calling,
