Israel Moment #11- All Unbelieving Jews Have Been Cast Off
-
Hello this is Pastor Steven Anderson from Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona. A lot of people who still believe that the physical nation of Israel today are God’s chosen people, even in the New Testament, even though they don’t believe in Jesus Christ... they will often point to Jeremiah chapter number 31. And let me read it for you. It says in Jeremiah 31, verse 35. “Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.”

Now in this scripture, He is promising NOT to cast off all the nation of Israel, and that the nation of Israel will never cease from being a nation. And people will point to this and say “see, that right there proves that the physical nation of Israel are still God’s chosen people. He has not cast them off, He promised to never cast them off.” But here is what they are failing to see in this passage. In verse 37 it says “I will also cast off ALL the seed of Israel for all that they have done if these ordinances fail.” So what He is saying there is not that He won’t cast off any of the children of Israel. He is saying He is not going to cast off all of them. There will always be a remnant that remains as the people of God.

Let’s go to Romans 11 and we can see this very clearly supported from the New Testament. He is not promising in Jeremiah 31 that He is never going to cast off ANY of the Israelites. Of course, he cast off many of the Israelites frequently throughout the Old Testament. What He is saying is, “I am not going to cast off ALL of them”, is what He said in verse 37, meaning that some of them will be saved. Some of them will not be cast off. Listen to Romans 11, verse 1. “I say then, hath God cast away His people?” Notice the same language as Jeremiah 31? “God forbid. For I also am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham of the tribe of Benjamin.” The apostle Paul is saying “I am proof that God has not cast off all of His people Israel, because I am a believer in Jesus Christ, I’m saved, and I’m of the tribe of Benjamin.” Listen to this. “God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying, Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

So when God says in Jeremiah 31:37 that He is not going to cast off ALL of His people, what he is saying is that there is going to be a remnant that say... not all of them are going to be cast off, a remnant will be saved.” Well listen, that remnant according to Romans 11, are those that are saved by grace, not by works, not by following the deeds of the law that their Pharisee Rabbis are telling them to follow. No, He says that it’s those that are elect, because of the grace of God. The remnant according to the election of grace, He said. So when God says “I am not going to cast away the nation of Israel, people today will take that promise in Jeremiah 31, and say “see? That physical nation over in Israel, are still God’s people, they have not been cast off.” But wait a minute, that’s a lie. Those people have been cast off, they have been broken off because of unbelief, he is going to say later in this chapter, Romans 11. Those natural branches have been broken off from Israel because of their unbelief.

God has cast away the unbelievers of Israel. They’ve been cut down; they are not God’s chosen people. But there is a believing remnant today of saved Israelites, those who are of Israel who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. And that’s why God has not broken His promise that He made in Jeremiah 31. It’s not that the unbelieving Baal worshippers over in Israel today, in the modern state of Israel, are God’s people. No. It’s the seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal that are the remnant, that are the saved Israelites, who worship the true God, the Lord Jesus Christ. By the way, if you don’t have the Son, you don’t have the Father, the Bible says. So the only Israelites who are truly worshipping the same God we are, God the Father, are the ones who also acknowledge the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Because if you don’t have the Son, you don’t have the Father. So again, Jeremiah chapter 31 is saying that God is not going to cast them ALL off, because there will be a saved remnant and according to Romans 11, that saved remnant are those that are saved by grace. They’re saved by the Lord Jesus Christ, not by their works.
