Israel’s Restoration Inheritance Status

As shown above, it is only at the point of immortality that men become recognized as fully mature “sons of the Kingdom,” and are thus accorded all the rights, privileges and status of adult heirs and possessors (“liberators”) of the earth. This conversion of inheritance Law to its new basis in immortality as the legal age of Maturity has vital impact on Israel’s final return. For it indicates that when they return a converted people after the Tribulation, Israel will still not come into actualized possession of the Promised Land. 

At Yeshua’s return, the Promised Land will be awarded for possession and government only to the Glorified returnees of Eternal Israel. Title will be fully vested only in Transnational Israel—to whom the returning nationals will be joined and under whose custodial tutelage Israel’s heirship rights will remain held in a pre-glorified stewardship trust.

Under this stewardship program, Israel—as a newborn New Covenant people of faith—will enjoy the same status and privileges in the Promised Land as all who now live by faith in Christ in the current age. They will in principle be “joint heirs” with Christ together with all the glorified transnational saints in the Promised Land—fellow citizens in the Commonwealth of Eternal Israel.

But as legal minors in the Kingdom, Israel cannot be vested with full titled possession of the Land. Being a flesh and blood people of faith yet retaining fleshly Jewish “clothing” from Adam, they cannot enjoy actual possession or government of the Promised Land. For it remains an inalterable fact of the Kingdom: “flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God,”—not even in the Kingdom Age.

Meanwhile, inside the stewardship program, the Glorified Transnationals such as Abraham, Paul and the apostles who have returned with Yeshua will have a special role in instructing, mentoring and coaching the reborn nationals in all the principles of glorified land conveyance necessary to obtaining their inheritance.

From here, Israelis will be granted their inheritance rights as they pass what is to become the New Bar Mitzvah—that is, graduation from mortal national Jewish status into the fully placed maturity of transnational Immortality. As noted above, the glory of the ceremonies that will surround this graduation is difficult to imagine—ceremonies at which the Immortal mentors and the governing Immortal dignitaries for the district—and even Yeshua Himself—will preside by the laying on of hands!

Momentarily, we’ll conclude with a closer look at Israel’s maturation process toward this adult glory. First, we’ll look at their restored legal system and some other distinctives.

Israel’s Restoration Legal System

In the Restoration, the purpose of life will be as it is today under the New Covenant—to move “from glory to glory” through obedience to the indwelling Law of Agape. In the present age, the Law of Agape is confined within the church, serving as the immovable plumb line along which believers mature toward immortalization. This is conducted within the cocoon of the Times of the Gentiles whose legal systems—including modern Israel’s—are all fashioned on the carnal principles of knowing good from evil that lead only to death.

But in the Restoration, the New Covenant Law of Agape will ascend as the principle on which is formed the legal framework of entire nations, beginning with Israel. In contrast to the former Law of Moses, which merely contained sin and produced only death, the indwelling Law of Agape through the Law of Life in Christ Jesus will become the basis of Israel’s Restoration government.

In the Promised Land, this Law will be derived from the Logos of Yeshua on Mt. Zion and conducted through the living Homologos of the twelve apostles and other presiding Immortals, and thence toward and through the maturing reborn Jews as “rulers-in-training.” All social and economic contract laws in Israel and the necessary disciplines associated therewith will be formulated from and empowered by this Spirit network of Living Logos as conveyed within the Body of Eternal Israel.  

Because of the diametrically contrary natures of the Mosaic Law and the Law of the Spirit of Life in Yeshua, it is impossible for national Israel in the Regeneration to ever again be reconstructed on the Law of Moses. All present envisioning of “Mosaic Law Restoration” based on carnal readings of the restoration prophecies is nothing more than oxymoronic religious mythology.

The First “Christian” Nation

When Israel’s remnant comes to spirit rebirth on the Promised Land, they will hold the distinction as the first people ever to submit as an entire nation to become part of Eternal Israel through the New Covenant. Although many remnant pockets of Gentiles among the nations have joined the transnational body since Christ, no Gentile nation as a body has ever sacrificed its adamic identity to become part of Eternal Israel. Ironically, in the day of their national repentance, Israel will become the first truly “Christian nation” in the true transnational sense of the term.

The idea of the Christian nation under the Times of the Gentiles only dimly fore typed this coming reality. In the present age, nations whose cultures have been strongly influenced by the New Covenant gospel have been referred to as “Christian nations.” But no such nation ever demonstrated itself a true Christian nation through surrendering its adamic nationalist identity to become spiritually identified as God’s worshipping priesthood, nor ever underwent the refabrication of its culture, economy and legal system around this reality. (America’s Pilgrims perhaps came the closest. Other Christian utopian societies have tried.)

By contrast, Israel’s entire refabrication around the Christian Law of Agape will establish the pattern on which the laws of all other believing peoples is to be established. As the first corporately regenerated New Covenant nation, they will become a testimony to all other nations of the blessings of national submission to rebirth through Yeshua. 

            - The Commonwealth of Israel: The New Covenantal Freedom Alliance

Beyond this however, the believing nations will become joined with Israel into an international confederacy—the same confederation we now identify only spiritually as the Commonwealth of Israel (Eph. 2:12). The purpose of this commonwealth will be the international promotion of the Life principles and processes that lead to transnational glorification and full governmental inheritance of the earth through faith in Yeshua’s sacrifice.

Within the Confederacy, international “Living Treaties” will be forged on the principles of Agape. This increasing developmental union will give added Restoration Age fulfillment to Isaiah’s prophecy; “I will—give you for a covenant to the people” (42:6; 49:8). Admission of believing nations to the Commonwealth will occur much the same way that in this age states have been added to the American union of states (i.e., the “United States”) or the European Union.

Meanwhile, all unbelieving nations, though under a rod of iron through slavery to sin, will be coaxed and shepherded by national Israel’s example and that of the Commonwealth to corporately submit to the “transnational rebirth plan” through Yeshua, and to have their governments reframed under the Law of Agape, also known as the Law of Liberty (Jms. 1:25; 2:12).

As the first nation to submit to the Truth of Yeshua’s Law of Life, Israel will be the first truly free physical nation the world has ever known. Moreover, a chief purpose of the reborn Commonwealth nations who also share that freedom will be to encourage unbelieving nations to move from slave status under the rod to freedom in Christ. (You could call it “international diplomatic evangelism.” Again, this has been interestingly fore typed by this age’s struggle between what has been called the “Free World” and the slave states of the “Communist World.”) 

Restoration of Israel’s Priestly Role

As part of their restoration, Israel will be returned to their original role as the dwelling place of God and the stewards of His oracles. But, this priestly function will not be restored to them on the original basis of their physical genealogy (specifically, the Levitical genealogy) as was so under Moses.

In keeping with their welcoming into the New Covenant priestly order—the newly manifested order of Melchizedek—, Israel will fulfill their restored role based on their reborn transnational spiritual identity in Yeshua and membership in Eternal Israel. They will take up their place in this order in conjunction with the glorified adult Members of Eternal Israel’s king-priesthood with whom they will dwell and in whom there is no remaining sin.

It’s vital to this treatise to reinforce that, at Yeshua’s death, all priestly roles and functions assigned by virtue of human descent were forever transferred to those who bear His supra-national Eternal seed—“without genealogy” (Heb. 7:3)—being the one and only seed on which the Melchizedekan priesthood is based. As an order keyed only to divine eternal descent, the Melchizedekan priesthood is not only without basis in national genealogy, but without basis in Israel’s own tribal genealogy; for the former priestly functions of Levi and kingly functions of Judah are now combined into the one new king-priesthood (Zech. 6:13-14).

Israel’s Mortality “Mirrorship”

Besides their distinctives as the first to nationally undergo New Covenant refabrication and the closest nation to the geographic center of global worship, Israel will hold one other distinctive—a distinctive based in their natural lineage. It is the distinctive of their continuing role as a physical mirror witness to the Eternal Israel of God. 

In a way no other mortal nation will be able to share, Israel’s fleshly identity will serve both to themselves and the nations as a mirror witness of the Eternal Israel Transnation with Whom they will be dwelling in the Land. This is a role they have held ever since their first inception in Isaac. But the difference in that role then is that their own hearts will have been spiritually reborn into the Eternal Transnation they are mirroring, and they will be dwelling among the glorified ones their fleshly component mirrors. This is the one and only function that will be preserved to Israel based on their human lineage.

As never before, Israel’s human origin will speak to them of the New Covenant realities to which they were always designed to point and which they and all believing nations will be experiencing for the very first time in a glorified context. At the same time, their mortal mirrorship will serve as reminder of the misuse of their lineage in the preceding ages—misuses to which they never want to succumb again.

Israel’s Ongoing Maturing in Discipleship

As shown previously, the processes of discipleship that now lead from new birth to immortality will not be eliminated in the Restoration Age. As long as adamic genealogy remains, its sinful nature will create friction against which the reborn Life Seed of Christ must exercise in order to outgrow the fleshly body into fully matured Eternal Life. This will be as true for Israel as for anyone else.

The prophecies indicate that Israel will still face Restoration Age enmities and battles. Nations who resist Yeshua’s Life Seed conversion as exemplified by Israel and the Commonwealth nations will be ruled with “rods of iron.” A military component will still exist.

There will also remain minor disputes between reborn Israel and her believing allies within the Commonwealth (“sibling rivalries.”) Such frictions will remain as long as believers retain adamic identity. It’s not until the last mortal trappings have been put off in a yet future age that universal peace will exist.

But whether it is conflict between Israel and unbelieving nations, or disputes between Israel and her allies, all frictions will serve to disciple reborn Israel toward final Maturity—even as believers are matured today. What will distance Israel’s discipleship from today’s Christian discipleship is that Israel’s frictions will be highly controlled under Yeshua’s immediate glorified command and far less severe without satan’s aggravation.

In that day, Yeshua’s yoke will clearly be easy and His burden light. Discipleship sorrows will be slight by today’s standards, and not the slightest sorrow will be wasted. All will targetedly serve to bring Israel into completed transnational heirship of the Promised Land with the Immortals. Her people will truly live a life of rejoicing, and will never again be put through the fires and waters of tribulation.

So too will believing nations and believers of every nation labor toward that sacred rite of passage from reborn childhood to adult Immortality in Eternal Israel. Israel will labor together and confer with her Gentile counterparts throughout the Commonwealth. The dynamics of intra-commonwealth relationship will expose subtle adamic allegiances to be overcome.

But amid the exposures, each will learn the laying down of human heritage before the other under Agape’s Law. All will esteem and emulate Eternal Israel’s Transnationals—who will shepherd and arbitrate for the nations in overcoming their adamic vestiges. (We can assuredly know that the glorified Paul will have a major role in mentoring Israel’s aspiring Immortals in the discipleship graces of heritage denial!)

Truly the lion and the lamb will learn to lie down together.

Such is the peace of Jerusalem for which we are to pray.
