The Biblical SECT called the Nazarenes was the New Covenant's Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

A MINISTERY TO THE BODY OF ISRAEL'S CHRIST.

BACK TO WALKING WITH YESHUA, THE JEWISH CHRIST AND HIS FATHER, THE GOD OF ISRAEL.

This study is not given as a condemnation, but only as a study to show the way of salvation as found in the teaching of the Jewish Jesus Christ that He delivered to mankind in His Holy Bible, inspired to be written by the Holy Spirit of the Jewish Christ. To receive the Christ within as one's only Hope of salvation, one must chose which course of action they will take. Remember RABBI Jesus said: John 4:22 "for salvation is of the Jews." Who is one going to believe? The RABBI Jesus and serve the God of Israel, the God of the Bible, or believe and follow the teachings of the Roman Christian Priesthood. (Mat 23:8 KJV) "But be not ye called RABBI; for ONE IS YOUR MASTER, even CHRIST;" If one follows only the teaching of the Jewish RABBI, Jesus Christ, and Him only to know what He taught about His Jewish FAITH that He delivered to the Jews, and only His Saints accepted, you to will have the same JEWISH FAITH JESUS had. (Jude 1:3-4). Which teachers are you going to follow, the teachers of the Roman Christian Religion or the teachings of the Jewish RABBI of the JEWISH Christian FAITH?

The Biblical SECT called the Nazarenes is the New Testament Church and the Bride of Christ that has the laws of their Marriage Covenant written in their hearts and minds because the LOVE Him and keeping His Marriage Commandments.

(Heb 8:13 KJV) "In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away."

Jesus (Yeshua), the Christ founded the first assembly of believers under the New Marriage Covenant from the physical Nation of Israel and they follow His instruction because He is their King of Kings. With the Anointing of YESHUA, the time had arrived for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ to be set up here on earth in the hearts of His followers. He was promised His own Kingdom of obedienct servents by His Father. In His own Kingdom, He would be His subjects LORD and MASTER until all things were put under Him. Tell then, He would rule His Kingdom from His throne in Heaven tell He returned in all His glory for the Great Wedding (Union) with His Saints. To enter His Kingdom in Heaven, one would not have to become a part of physical Israel to receive the God of Israel's Salvation. His Kingdom would be made up of people from all Nations that joined themselves to the Commonwealth of Israel by joining themselves to Israel's Covenant promises.

This is made perfectly clear in the following scripture. If you have ears to hear and eyes to see what is written there and do what it said to do, you too can become part of the Kingdom of Jesus (Yeshua) Christ now and when He returns.

(Eph 2:11-14 KJV) "Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; {12} That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: {13} But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. {14} For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;"

(Heb 9:1-9 KJV) "Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. {2} For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which is called the sanctuary. {3} And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; {4} Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; {5} And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. {6} Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. {7} But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: {8} The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: {9} Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;"

In this passage we can clearly see that all things pertaining to the Physical Kingdom of Israel on earth has been transfered to the Spiritual Kingdom of Jesus Christ in Heaven. The earthly priesthood and earthly temple passed away with the destruction of the physical Nation and physical Temple. The Kingdom of Jesus Christ is the Father's Spiritual Kingdom from heaven now was set up in the hearts of His people here on the earth. The Spiritual Kingdom of God was and is set up in the heart's of His followers. It replaced the First carnal Kingdom which was a flesh and blood Kingdom of carnal people.

First which was a Natural Kingdom; and afterward that which is Spiritual Kingdom.

(1 Cor 15:46-49 KJV) "Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. {47} The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. {48} As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. {49} And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly." (Rom 8:29 KJV) "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren."

What is the Kingdom of Jesus Christ?

The Kingdom of Jesus Christ is the Spiritual Kingdom from Heaven made up of Spiritual Jews. To be a Spiritual Jew, one must have his heart in the Spirit circumcised from transgressing The Kingdom's Holy Commandment Laws. The Commandments are "the oracles of God" that were delivered to God's people by the God of Israel.

(Rom 2:28-29 KJV) "For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: {29} But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God." (Rom 3:1-2 KJV) "What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? {2} Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God." (2 John 1:6 KJV) "And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it." (Rev 22:14 KJV) "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." (1 John 3:22 KJV) "And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight."

It is a Spiritual Kingdom that has the Holy Spirit of Christ living within each individual because they keep His Commandments and continue to keeping them until their death. The Laws of life are written in the lives (hearts) of every individual who lives their life within the Laws of the Spirit of LIFE. It is these Laws of God written within, through the keeping of them, that govern the life of every individual within the God of Israel's Spiritual Kingdom (Rom 8:2 KJV) ---- "the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." If one is not living by the Laws of Life in Christ Jesus, he is living by the laws of sin and death.

Each New Covenant Saint has the Laws of Christ written in their hearts. If not, he is still following the laws that bring death. It is the Laws of Life that are found only in the Father's Spiritual Kingdom that gives everlasting life, and His Spiritual Laws must govern every aspect of that person's life.

(Heb 8:10 KJV) "I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:" (1 John 3:24 KJV) "And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us." (John 12:49-50 KJV) "For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. {50} And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak."

(Exo 20:1-11 KJV) "And God spake all these words, saying, {2} I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. {3} Thou shalt have no other gods before me. {4} Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: {5} Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; {6} And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. {7} Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. {8} Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. {9} Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: {10} But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: {11} For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."

All the Laws that govern God's Spiritual people here on earth were spoken by our Spiritual Father in Heaven. All people who want to become citizens of God's Commonwealth of Israel here on earth must obey His Spiritual Laws from Heaven. All who hear and do what the Father in Heaven spoke, become part of Jesus Christ's Spiritual Kingdom here on earth. Everyone who has entered God's Commonwealth of Israel here on earth has become obedient to keep the Spiritual laws spoken by the Father in Heaven.

(Eph 2:12-14 KJV) "That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: {13} But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. {14} For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;"

Jesus Christ was Anointed (Christ) and KING over every Spiritual Jew on earth, and He is now the Spiritual Head of the Kingdom of God in Heaven. He was Anointed King of the Spiritual Jews, and only Spiritual Jews obey Him as their King of Kings. He is now sitting on the Spiritual throne of King David. He is not ruling over a physical kingdom, but over a Spiritual Kingdom here on earth that Paul called the Commonwealth of Israel.( See Eph 2; 12 above.)

The New Testament Church, the Spiritual Commonwealth of Jesus Christ here on earth, is made up only of Marriage Covenant keeping Saints who live by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the God of Israel .

(Mat 4:4 KJV) "But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

When the man Jesus was Anointed by the Father in Heaven, He was made the Spiritual King of the Spiritual Jews. He was the King of Kings and Lord of Lords over all God's Spiritual Household here on Earth and in Heaven. Adam and Eve had been given Dominion over all the earth when they were created. When Adam and Eve did not live by every word Christ spoken to them in the garden, they sinned against Him and lost His Spiritual Kingdom within and their Dominion over God's earth. The Glory and the Righteousness of the Life of Christ died within both of them the day they sinned. The Christ was no longer lived in them as the Anointing. They were without the GLORY of God Kingdom with in them, and they were dead in their transgression of the Spirit of Christ.

(Rom 3:23 KJV) "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" All will remain dead to the Glory of God if the Righteous Life of Christ is not reborn back in them once again. (Rom 3:23 KJV) "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" The transgression of the God of Israel's Holy Covenant brings death to all who live their lives out side of it.

Without the Anointing of the Life of Christ once again living in us, as His life, we are not Anointed as a King in Christ's "KINGDOM of GOD". Christ came to earth to reestablish the Father's Kingdom on earth in the hearts on man. The Kingdom He reestablish here is called the Spiritual "Commonwealth of Israel" by His own Word. It was reestablished again through Jesus Christ living only the Holy Life of His Father in Heaven. He was the second Adam, the one who never sinned against His Father's WORDS. He kept His Father's Holy Commandments that are ordained to Everlasting Life. "And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:"

The physical Kingdom of Israel was a kingdom of carnal people. It came to an end when the New Covenant was Sealed with the true Blood of the Christ on the cross. The Old Covenant's promise of a New Spiritual Kingdom of God coming to earth had been fulfilled from within the people of Physical Israel. The carnal Jew did not accept the Christ, they crucified Him. It was the Righteous Spiritual Jews from the same Nation that crucified Him, who accepted Him as their Lord and Master. Christ established His Righteous Kingdom within them because they had sought His righteousness through being obedient to His every Word. The Righteous Jewish people of Israel accepted Him as the Christ promised in their Covenant that the God of Israel had given them. They were the ones who followed the Christ of God in full obedience. The Jews who were righteous had accepted Jesus Christ as their Spiritual Head over the New Commonwealth of Israel here on earth. They followed Him as their King. He is the Spiritual King of all the Spiritual Jews, both Jews and Gentiles, on earth and their only King.

(Mat 6:33 KJV) "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

To seek the Kingdom of the God of Israel without keeping His Holy Commandments is foolishness.

To prove to Israel and the Nations around them that the God of Israel had fulfilled all His promises to the Nation of Israel, both good and bad promises (Blessing and Cursing), He destroyed the Old Temple system with it Priest hood and all of its sacrificial systems pertaining to a physical Nation. The last thing He destroyed was the Physical Temple and Nation. The individuals who believed in and follow the Jewish Messiah as Lord and Master, became the Spiritual TEMPLE for the Christ to live in here on earth. The Kingdom of God here on earth was no longer a Physical Nation with Physical Temples built with the hands of man, but a Spiritual Commonwealth of Israel, composed of the Spiritual Jews who were now the Spiritual Temples of the Christ to dwell in. The people who had been reborn of the Spirit of Christ were His Temple and Nation. Their Christ now ruled over them from the Kingdom of Jesus Christ within them, making them the Commonwealth of Israel here on earth.

The prophecies from the Christ about His rejection by the Physical Nation of Israel were fulfilled with His death on the cross. His rejection of His lawless Nation of carnal Israel was fulfilled when Christ destroyed the Nation of Israel and His Temple in 70 AD.

All Israel was taken into captivity as foretold in Mat 24. The Physical carnal Kingdom of Israel had come to it's end. The Kingdom of God from Heaven came down and replaced it, when Jesus was Anointed the Christ, along with the anointing of the righteous remnant of the seed of Israel. The New Covenant Body of Christ had been established as the Spiritual Kingdom of God here on earth. The Righteous Kingdom of God had been established in the lives of the Righteous Jews. Remember, Jesus was a Spiritual Jew and the King of the Spiritual Jews. The Spiritual Kingdom of the God of Israel here on earth is, and will remain, the only Kingdom wherein a man can be saved by the Christ of Israel. We are saved by the God of the Spiritual Jews.

(Acts 4:12 KJV) "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

(Eph 2:11-13 KJV) "Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; {12} That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: {13} But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ."

(1 Cor 3:16-17 KJV) "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God (Christ) dwelleth in you? {17} If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." (1 Cor 15:22 KJV) "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive."

This is why all mankind must be born again as a Spiritual Jew. One must be born of the Spirit to be reconciled back to God. By having the Spiritual Life of the Jewish Christ living within us, we become part of His Body here on earth. One must have the life of Christ living within him as his Kingdom of God from the God of Israel in Heaven.

(Luke 17:21 KJV) "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." (John 3:3 KJV) "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

(Col 1:27 KJV) "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:" All Gentiles must have the Jewish Christ living in them if they are to enter the Kingdom of the God of Israel.

The man Jesus did not need to be reconciled to God's "Spiritual Kingdom on earth". The fullness of the life of CHRIST always living in Him. He Loved His Father in Heaven and hated sin. His total life was dedicated to living within the confines of the spoken word of His Fathers Kingdom in heaven. (Heb 1:9) He, the Second Adam was without sin. Jesus was the first man ever restored back to the Glory of God, having the full power of His Father's Righteous life living in Him. The Father's life in Him manifested the full Glory of the "Kingdom of God" here on earth. The Apostles and the Jewish believers who had been Anointed by God, were the first ones called the Anointed ones, "Christians". The Glory of the God of Israel had been manifested in them, through the Kingdom of God being restored within through the Righteous life they lived in Christ. The Father's PURE Life returned to live in man by the Anointing (Christ) was the fulfillment of God's Promise to Abraham to establish His Kingdom through out the whole earth through Abraham's SEED. The Christ from Heaven returning to live in the man Jesus as the Christ, was the beginning of the New Covenant Kingdom of Jesus Christ that will fill the whole earth. Thus fulfilling His promise to Abraham that his "SEED" Jesus Christ would reign over all the whole earth. The Spiritual Kingdom of God had come to live on Earth in it's full Glory. (Mat 3:16) This Glory of God was never intended for a physical Nation, but for the Spiritual Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

(Rev 14:11-12 KJV) "And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. {12} Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

The Old Covenant pertaining to the Jewish people inheriting a Promised Land, where the God of Israel would provide everything, was not fulfilled in them because they did not live their lives in His Holy Covenant He had given them. The lawless Nation of Israel would never again have a Promised Land from the God of Israel because of their sins. The promise to all the people of God's Israel is now a Spiritual Kingdom from Heaven if they would obey His Commandments. The lawless people of Israel did not enter the Spiritual Kingdom of God that came with the Son of God, the Jewish Messiah. They refused to acknowledge Jesus Christ as the Christ, who was the King of Kings and Lord of Lords of the Father's Spiritual Kingdom on earth. Most of them did not enter the Spiritual Kingdom of Jesus Christ for the same reason Adam and Eve lost Dominion over the earth. Their rebellion against the Holy Spirit's Words, "Laws", of the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of Jesus Christ will live in man on earth as long as there are Righteous believers for the God of Israel to manifest His Glory through.

Rom 14:17 KJV) "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost."

(Mat 6:33 KJV) "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." The New Testament promise is not for a physical land, but for the Spiritual Kingdom of Heaven itself to be our New place of abode here on earth.

(Eph 2:6 KJV) "And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:" (Psa 132:12-16 KJV) "If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. {13} For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. {14} This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. {15} I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. {16} I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy."

God will use every Righteous man that He can find to Glorify Himself in.

(2 Chr 16:9 KJV) "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him."

The man Jesus was the First Fruit of God's Righteous life within a man. All people, both Jews and Gentiles alike, who have accepted the Jewish Messiah's Righteous Way of Life, to live their life by, are added to His Holy Kingdom. The Jewish people of Christ's day, were the first fruits that Christ brought into Jesus Christ's New Testament Kingdom that He called the Commonwealth of Israel. The first people that Christ restored to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ here on earth were the remnant He saved out of the Nation of Israel. The Church (Family) of God is now made up of all people, of all Nations, who have repented of their sins of transgressing God's Holy Laws and returned to live the Righteous LIFE of their Heavenly Father as Jesus lived His Life in Christ.

(Eph 2:19 KJV) "Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;"

The History in the New Covenant of our Bible, contains the plan the Father is used to bring the man, Jesus, back into the Spiritual Kingdom of God, as a man. The New Testament contains our instructions from our Heavenly Father through His Christ, of how we are to live our lives to return to His Holy LIFE. Mankind must live as Jesus lived to be reconciled back to having the LIFE of Christ once again living in them by the Father's Anointing. (Amos 3:3 KJV) "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?"

One must be Born Again if they are going to walk with Him in His Kingdom. All people who accept the LIFE of the Jewish Christ as their New WAY of LIFE to live in, are members of His Body, the Church of the Christ of Israel, Jesus Christ.

(John 14:6-7 KJV) "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. {7} If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him."

THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH WAS CALLED "THE KINGDOM OF JESUS CHRIST" AND "THE SECT OF THE NAZARENES".

(Heb 2:3-9 KJV) "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; {4} God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? {5} For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. {6} But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? {7} Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: {8} Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. {9} But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man."

The Question that I am dealing with in this article is, did the Christ coming into the life of the Jewish man, Jesus "Christ", bring an end to the First Covenant with Physical Israel. Was it the fulfillment the New Covenant with the people of Israel, as written in Jeremiah 13:31-34, and repeated in Hebrews 8:8-13. Remember, if the New Covenant was not fulfilled to the people of the "Commonwealth of Israel" as written , is was not fulfilled at all. The preceding paragraphs revealed how this Kingdom from Heaven was set up as the New Testament Church by the Jewish Jesus "Christ" and His Jewish Apostles.

(Mat 5:18 KJV) "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

(Heb 8:8-13 KJV) "For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: {9} Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. {10} For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: {11} And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. {12} For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. {13} In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away."

If a Jewish "Christ" did not fulfill the New Covenant, when and how would the God of Israel fulfill it to His Commonwealth of Israel? Some people believe the Old Covenant with the Physical Nation of Israel is still uncompleted. Some believe the Old and New are both being fulfilled together by both running side by side. Others believe the Old Covenant with Physical Israel is now being fulfilled in Israel by the Zionist returning to take over the Physical Nation of Israel by war with the Arabs. If this is true, when and how do we Gentiles who accept the Jewish Messiah fit into that Zionist Nation if that's the Kingdom of God spoken of in the New Covenant with Israel? Others of us believe the Old Covenant was completely fulfilled when Christ rejected that Nation as His People in AD 70. The Covenant that all people are under now is the New Covenant, and it only.

One must find answers to all these questions if they are going to know with a certainty how the Bible is to be understood. To not understand the words of God is to not know the God of Israel at all.

The God of Israel never has made any Covenants with any Gentile Nation. The only Covenants He ever made were with Abraham and his people. Abraham's people became the Nation of Israel whom He called His People, "Israel". They are the only people He calls by His own Name, "Israel," and they are the People of the Hebrew Bible that we carry to our Churches. There were provisions written into both Covenants He made with the Nation of "Israel," for all peoples, of all nations to join themselves to the Covenants of Israel and to the Christ of Abraham. All mankind could have joined themselves to one of His Covenants He made with Israel. Both Covenants were made for the Jews and the Gentiles alike, to return to living His Holy Way of life, called Salvation.

(Isa 56:1-7 KJV) "Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. {2} Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. {3} Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. {4} For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; {5} Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. {6} Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; {7} Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people."
