If you’re a gentile and you want to partake in the benefits offered by the Jewish Messiah, then you have to be grafted into Israel.
There ain’t no way around this.
In the New Testament, Paul explains this in his analogy of the wild olive tree versus the pure olive tree of God.
The wild olive tree refers to the gentiles and the Olive tree of God is Israel.
In his letter to the Romans, Paul says that gentiles are cut off and removed from a Wild-Olive tree and grafted onto the Olive tree of God.
Why is this so important to grasp?
Because the Creator of the universe has divided the planet into only two distinct and separate people groups.
You are either a Hebrew or a Gentile with nothing in between.
Hebrews represent God’s Kingdom on Earth…
And Gentiles represent those who are AGAINST and seek to destroy God’s Kingdom on this planet.
This means if you are a gentile who has not yet been grafted into Israel, you are a natural-born enemy of God.
On the other hand, if you are a gentile who has been SPIRITUALLY grafted into Israel, it’s equally important to understand that SPIRITUALLY God has removed you from your Gentile status.
Notice I emphasized the word “spiritually”.
Your status change took place on a spiritual plane, NOT a genetic one.
It’s not like you become an ethnic Jew once you accept Yeshua as your Lord and Savior…
Nor do you become eligible to immigrate to Israel as a national citizen.
Again, your SPIRITUAL status has changed, not your ethnic status.
Are you feeling me here?
Nevertheless, once you’re grafted into the commonwealth of Israel, God no longer views you as a Gentile worthy of destruction.
He no longer views you as AMALEK.
CONNECTING THIS TEACHING TO THE NEW TESTAMENT
“Now if the hallah offered
as firstfruits is holy,
so is the whole loaf.
And if the root is holy,
so are the branches.
But if some of the branches
(Israelites) were broken off,
and you- a wild olive- (gentiles)
were grafted in among them
and have become equal sharers
in the rich root of the olive tree,
then don’t boast as if you were
better than the branches!
However, if you do boast,
remember that you are not
supporting the root,
the root is supporting you.”
-Romans 11:16-18
“There is neither Jew nor Gentile,
neither slave nor free,
nor is there male and female,
for you are all one in Messiah Yeshua.”
-Galatians 3:28
