No, no. We missed a post somewhere. I am NOT Jewish as far as I know. (I've not done a DNA test)
Thanks to bearbear who picked up my oversight...(see one of his last posts) and explained my meaning.
Loony to you may be right on with my Abba God who says I've been grafted into the Israel olive tree:
"For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?" - Rom 11:24 KJV
So, we've been grafted into Israel. We are now partaking of their root system:
"And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;" - Rom 11:17 KJV
And, in Ephesians Paul says:
"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; 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: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ." - Eph 2:11-13 KJV
So, you and I are "brought nigh" now, awareness. As believers in Yeshua HaMashiach we are now part of Israel's commonwealth. And we are partaking of the "fatness",
the riches of their roots.
Why not munch on that for a while... And check out bearbear's recent post for more info...
