Now, that the evidence has been given that "Called Out" (eccelsia) began right at the beginning of Abraham being called out of the Land of Ur, there is something else that needs to be understood. The body did not start at Pentecost.

It is somewhat correct for Bible teachers to support the unification of Gentiles and Jews into one body BUT here is the error: Who was grafted into whom? Was the Gentile believer grafted into the "Called Out Ones who were the Faith Believing Hebrew" or were the Called Out Ones grafted into the Gentile institution now called "The Christian Church"?

We already know that Abraham, a Hebrew, was the one man that was called out to be separated from the Gentiles around him. Out of Abraham, we have the Faith Believing Israelites. Abraham and all of his Faith Believing generations had a Covenant with Almighty God based upon that faith.

The picture of Abraham being obedient by taking his son of Promise, Isaac and offering him to God shows the unwavering faith that Abraham had in his God. He walked the walk. It was at that time, when God stopped Abraham from taking the life of his son to be a sacrifice, that God told Abraham, "I will provide Myself". Abraham understood what that meant and so did the generations after him. They expected God to come in the flesh as the Messiah that would bring Salvation to the world.

Does this modern Christian Church really believe that the generations of Faith Believing Israelites weren't saved? Apparently so. They teach that the Jews/Israelites must become Christians in order to receive that Salvation.

They teach that the Jew must be grafted into their Christian Religion. Most do not even understand the difference between an Israeli and a Jew.

The Israelites are the very Lost Sheep of the House of Israel that Jesus Christ sent his 72 disciples out to bring into the Fold of the Great Shepherd. Amen?

Look what the Word of God teaches. Quote from Joe Ortiz book:
Ephesians 2:11-20 (KJV)

11 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,( excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.) 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;(who has made the two groups one )

15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;


Notice the words "excluded"?

Who was once excluded?

Notice the words, "destroyed the barrier"? Who destroyed the barrier...the Church or Jesus Christ?

Who made the two One?

And then, read again these words, "you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.? (underlining done by me for emphasis)

What was the foundation? That's right; it was the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone.

The body, the ecceisa was called up long ago, at the first when God called A BODY out of the Gentiles and made a "Peculiar People" through whom the Savior of the World come and through whom the Gospel would be spread into all the world to anyone that would gladly ask for this free gift called Salvation. It was Grace granted unto the Gentile.

In fact, this is the very promise given to Adam and Eve concerning God would come Himself to purchase their ability to get back into Paradise.

It is as Joe Ortiz says in his book,

Quote:

"Therefore, newly engrafted Gentiles are no longer foreigners and aliens but fellow citizens with God's people. If this body wants to call itself the Christian Church (as it obviously has since Pentecost) so be it! But this new indentification (Christian) which was adopted by this one new body about a year after the Day of Pentecost, does not negate the fact that God's people, His children of promise, are and have been His called Out ones (Greek ecclesia, assembly, congregation) as far back as Abraham, and possibly as far back as Abel, the slain brother of Cain, Adam's son.

When the Christian Church understand this fact, they will also stop their put-downs of men like David J. Smith who does understand Biblical History and presents it in his videos. He shows that the two sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manassea are the very nations through whom the gospel has gone forth through-out the world.

By now, Christians ought to understand the difference between the Jew and the Israelites. They are not one and the same but two separate kingdoms, two separate sticks, as the Bible refers to them, that will one day be united by Yeshua Himself, not any government work such as the United Nations.

The Jew, by and large, are segregated, who still await the Messiah. They live under the Law of Moses. The Israelites, on the other hand is made up of both Hebrews and Gentiles who preach that the Messiah has come and paid the Redemption price.

At this time, I would like to insert here that there is also a difference among the Jews who brought their oral Rabbinical teachings, which were added to the Torah, after they came out of Babylon.
whom, basically, reside in the Southern Kingdom where you find Jerusalem.

These are different from those that were never of the Jewish Blood-line but merely adopted the Jewish religion out of the political advantage it brought to them and inserted their brand of paganism within the Torah.

These latter ones are those that came out of the Russian areas whom are called the Azekinazi Jews. So you see how complicated it really is? Within them are those that make up the past & present leaders of Israel.

Did you know that Russia has controlled every presidency of the United Nations since it's inception? What does that tell you?

There is one thing that is very prominent in Israel and that is the Socialist concept of Communal Living called Kabbutz. They work together for the greater good of all. It seems to be a great success in Israel where food and produce are grown and harvested there.

Within these who are not Ethnic Jews, you have the rabbis that consort with the Illuminati and officiate with their pagan rituals in the Synagogue of Satan.

And to make it even more complicated, these are the same who make up the priest-hood of the Roman Catholic Religion. Have you ever wondered why there is such a close resemblance within the Jewish Temple rituals and the Roman Catholic? They also seem to have a close relationship in these End Days.

It is a gross mistake to call them all Jews and think you have covered the topic, isn't it?

Pentecost was not the beginning of the Body of Believers. It was the outpouring of the Power of the Holy Spirit upon the Body to be a Helper and Comforter so that the Good News of Jesus Christ could go out into all the world.

The End Time Passover by Joe Ortiz is a priceless help in understanding these truths. You can find that book on-line at this website. Rapturebibleprophecyforum
