God Used Israel Only to Bring Salvation to the Whole Earth

1 Here was been a new view within Preterism which has been widely rejected by all other forms of Preterism that began around 2005. 2 They took the belief that all scripture was fulfilled in AD70 a bit to far that is called the Israel Only View “IOV”. 3 They believe that all of God’s promises and Covenants were just for Israel only including the New Covenant. 4 Basically they say that salvation was only for the Jews who were under the Old Covenant laws. 5 But the Gentiles also had their own laws written in their hearts and mind which goes back to Adam and can be seen when Cain killed his brother Able when there was no laws written for them.

Romans 2:13 (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; 14for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them)

6 The end result of their view leaves their view believing that their god has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the world other with Israel. 7 The IOV will try to prove that the word gentiles in the Bible were only of the ten lost tribes of Israel and that the words world and Earth only apply to the land of Israel and use Covenant Creation for this. 8 Though other Preterist believe in Covenant Creation which could have some merit to it, means that the original creation in the Book of Genesis was not so much a creation of the universe but more so in a relationship between God and the nation of Israel. 9 They believe that Adam was in a sense Israel and that is how the ancient people saw things. 10 In the Israel Only View it leaves you with a god who doesn’t have others nations on the Earth with any interest in mind whatsoever. 11 This view has caused a lot of damage within Preterism because they have totally over looked one thing. 12 God set Israel a part or sanctified them which means that God used Israel to show the rest of the world through imagery His salvation for all of mankind. 13 The thing that God gave to Israel for a sign to them that God had sanctify them was the Sabbath.

Exodus 31:13 “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.

Ezekiel 20:12 Moreover I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign between them and Me, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them.

14 The reason why God wanted to use Israel to be a light to the rest of the world in my opinion was because almost everyone on Earth was not in tune with God like Moses was. 15 We can see in history where many other cultures may have had similar beliefs with deity but it was through Moses that God was able to relate with. 16 Only Moses was in tune enough to receive things that could be used for imagery to portray Spiritual things especially through the Feasts of the Lord and the Holy Convocation days within those Feasts. 17 Moses probably did not comprehend fully that one thing built upon another through other Prophets that came later like Isaiah and Ezekiel. 18 It was not until the John the Baptist and Jesus Christ the Messiah came that God’s plans moved forward throughout the time. 19 They were the last generation who would see the fulfillment of all scripture when the Roman armies surrounded the city of Jerusalem and destroyed the city and Temple in AD70. 

20 Isaiah foresaw that the nation of Israel was to be used as a light to the rest of mankind who were held in bondage to Adam’s sin and death which caused all of mankind to be separated from God. 21 The light that Israel was shining was the imagery for things to come so that the whole world could be restored back into the presence of God and without the sin and death Adam brought to the whole world 21 The laws that were written in the hearts and mind of Gentiles who did not have Israel’s laws also had a curse for disobeying the laws that they had unto themselves. 22 The Gentiles laws had were of judging good and evil to be according to their own minds because of eating from the Tree of Knowledge like Adam did and became gods as well.

Isaiah 49:6 Indeed He says,

‘It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant

To raise up the tribes of Jacob,

And to restore the preserved ones of Israel;

I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles,

That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”

Acts 13:47 For so the Lord has commanded us:

‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles,

That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”

23 The New Covenant laws of the Spirit was to restore the Earth through Israel’s Messiah Jesus Christ, which came through the Tree of Life instead of the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. 24 It was through Israel that the New Covenant was promised that was a gift from God to the rest of the Earth so that God’s salvation could go the the ends of the Earth. 25 The love of God allows all of mankind to be restored back to it’s heritage like it was in the Garden of Even where Adam and Eve could be in the presence of God.

Isaiah 49: 8Thus says the Lord:

“In an acceptable time I have heard You,

And in the day of salvation I have helped You;

I will preserve You and give You

As a covenant to the people,

To restore the earth,

To cause them to inherit the desolate heritages;

9 

That You may say to the prisoners, ‘Go forth,’

To those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’

26 Israel was set apart for God to speak through imagery of the laws so that they could foreshadow things in Christ and the Spiritual realm for the New Heaven and Earth. 27 The Old Heaven and Earth could be seen in the layout of the Temple. 28 The Outer Courts represented the Under Earth and Outer Darkness. 29 It was a place of punishment for sins where animals were sacrifices at the Brazen Alter and had a Laver for washing for reconciliation to be clean. 30 All which were fulfilled through Jesus being crucified and for those who believed in Him and were baptized in water symbolizing being partakers in His death and resurrection. 31 The Outer  Court area of the Temple was not to be measured according to Rev. 11:2 because its imagery  was not to be used in the New Heaven and Earth after full salvation came after the Temple no longer stood. 32 In the New Heaven and Earth we have David’s Tabernacle to see a small window of what foreshadowed the first century Church in the Spiritual realm. 33 When the Ark of the Covenant returned back to Jerusalem King David pitched a three sided tent for it where God’s presence was open to the whole world. 34 Then King Solomon built a Temple for it and restored things back to the Old Covenant ways until the it was destroyed by the Babylonians around 500 BC. 31 The second Temple was rebuilt under King Herod but the Ark of the Covenant was either lost or destroyed during the Babylon captivity.


35 After Jesus was crucified the Temple’s veils were torn so that God’s presence was in part open to the whole world which then brought in the restoration of the Tabernacle of David while Herod’s Temple still stood in a similar way it was during King David’s reign. 36 Back in King David’s reign the Tabernacle of Moses still was doing all that the laws required while David had the Ark of the Covenant where God’s presence was. 37 Unlike in King David’s days where his son Solomon built a Temple and the Old Covenant laws continued for a thousand years, in the first century the Old Covenant laws were vanishing away until AD70 when the Temple no longer stood. 38 It was then that full salvation had come and God’s presence was once again restored to mankind like it was open in the Garden of Eden before Adam and Eve sinned. 39 It was then that the second appearing of Christ had come which according to Hebrews 9: 8 could not happen as the second Temple stood. 40 It was then that the second resurrection of the unjust dead had fully occurred because the Temple which represented mankind being separated from God was dissolved.

 41 So it was from there that we have the Fall Feast of Tabernacles and two Holy Convocation Days of Blowing Trumpets and Day of Atonement being fulfilled for full salvation for the whole world reconciled from the separation from God. 42 As a result from Adam’s sin and death they had inherited from Adam which the whole world followed in being gods and eating from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil.

43 Salvation this side of AD70 is through the refining fire of the Holy Spirit which can be seen in type at the Alter of Incense that was in the Holy Place instead of the Outer Court. 44 But for those Spiritually dwell in Outer Darkness the refining fire will become a lake of fire which has no escape unless they repent before they physically die. 45 Through returning back to our Everlasting Father Immanuel and confessing sin we can then eat from the Tree of Life and all the things that imagery portrays, we can return back to Spiritual life and put immortality back on like in the parable of the Prodigal Son.

46 The Holy Place represented the Earth on which we all live. 47 The Alter of Incense in type represented the prayers of the saints along with other things that were in the Holy Place. 48 So when we go through the refining fire that the Holy Spirit brings us to a place where we pray and confess any wrong we have done and God forgives and then we are able to enter into rest in Christ which is where the Heavenly realm is, which the Most Holy Place represented and where God Spiritually dwells.

49 In John 17 Jesus prayed and asked the Father for the whole world to be able to experience the oneness that He had with the Father. Jesus starts with praying for Himself then His disciples 9“I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours.

Jesus Prays for All Believers

20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

50 Right here is proof that your faith can make things happen no matter who you are and not just for Israel Only.

A Gentile Shows Her Faith

21 Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”

23 But He answered her not a word.

And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”

24 But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

25 Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”

26 But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”

27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”

28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Conclusion: 

51 We have each second ahead of us to look forward to now that all of mankind has become the manifested sons of God. 52 We now have Jesus Christ who had become the Everlasting Father of mankind instead of Adam the father of mankind. 53 We have the first century Church who was the Bride of Christ as our Spiritual Mother who is the antitype of Adam’s wife Eve who was the mother of all living. 54 We have the choice to either be Spiritually dwelling in the Heavenly realm eating from the Tree of Life or we can choose to Spiritual dwell in Outer Darkness with the Lake of Fire waiting for us if we choose to not believe in God before we physically die and then be consumed by the fire after a season of conscience torment.

55 We can be thankful that no one today needs to be saved or redeemed from the curse of the Old Covenant laws or of the laws we have unto ourselves. 56 We can be thankful that no one has been Spiritually dead in Adam but all were made alive by Christ. 57 We all can be thankful that no one since AD70 has to be born again from Adam’s Spiritual death that Adam had brought to all of mankind. 58 We can be thankful that it is only by the Spiritual process of the refining fire here on Earth that it will save us from all the impurities in our life that do not measure up to what we should be and only the gold, silver and bronze will be left and we will be rewarded assuredly in the life after and have a Immortal Spiritual body. 59 Most of all we can be thankful to Jesus Christ who has made all of this possible even for the Gentiles and not just Israel only.

60 And finally if it was all about Israel as a nation that would be saved why did Christ go and preach to the Spirits in prison who formerly were disobedient dating back to the days of Noah.

Matthew 27:

51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, 52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20 who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine long-suffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.

61 Cornelius and his Household were the first of the Gentiles recorded that got saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit. This story alone debunks the Israel Only View right here:

Acts 10:1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment, 2 a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always.

Acts 10:28 Then he said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean. 

44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. 45 And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then Peter answered, 47 “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days.


Acts 11:18 When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.” 19 Now those who were scattered after the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but the Jews only. 20 But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus. 21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord. 22 Then news of these things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch. 23 When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord. 24 For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord. 28 Then he said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him. 36 The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all.

44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. 45 And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then Peter answered, 47 “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days.

And a great many people were added to the Lord.
