Israel, The “Olive Tree”4-28-17, In the Bible's New Testament, Romans 9, 10 and 11* we learn great detail about God’s covenants with the Israelites – beginning with Abraham, continuing through Moses, the prophets and the Gentiles. In Romans 9-11 the passage is symbolic representing something else in the context of God’s covenants with the Israelites representing various parts of the olive tree as follows: – The “natural branches” represent individual genetic Jews – The “wild olive shoots” represent Gentiles [non Jews] – The “root” of the tree represents God’s covenant promises to the patriarchs – Abraham, Issac and Jacob Romans 11:19-22 "You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” Were they broken off because of unbelief? [Also see Matthew 3:7-9 **] Gentiles have become full heirs of God’s promises to the patriarchs . This harmonizes with the “one new humanity” metaphor that Paul uses in Ephesians Chapter 2. However, Gentile Christians should not consider themselves to be “superior” to Jews – because after all, Jews are the “natural” heirs of God's promises. * Romans 9 here ** Romans 11 here www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=romans+11&version=KJV & Matthew 3 here Excerpted from: http://lhim.org/blog/2013/01/27/the-olive-tree-symbolism-in-romans-11/ Comments are closed.

7-8-21-21, Israel has only 8000 square miles of land - the Muslims have 5 million. Yet, they also want the Jews land. Of all the nations of the world, the Lord chose the descendants of Jacob [Jews], not Ishmael [Muslims], to be His covenant people - the descendants of Abraham and wife Sarah. (Genesis 17:19-21; Malachi 1:1–5).
