Talk:Israel and the Church

The Church has not replaced Israel

Some deny that Israel is the wife of God.

Did Israel commit adultry?

Was Israel set aside?

Will Israel be restored?

Research

Israel is sometimes the 12 tribes of Jacob

Israel is sometimes the Northern 10 tribes

Name them ?

The northern kingdom is called "Israel" or sometimes "Ephraim"

Joseph and Ephraim

Southern three tribes (Judah)

Benjamin, Levi, Judah

"James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes scattered abroad, greeting" James 1.1.

James 2.8

Jeremiah 3.14

and many other places shows

that God considered the covenant with Israel

to be a marriage covenant.

He was the husband,

the nation as a whole was His wife,

the individuals were His children

He was turning a deaf ear to them

God is not finished with Israel.
