I am the way, and the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:6

Today we have an extremely interesting topic – together, we will analyze who according to the Holy Scriptures is the true Israel, and even, according to some examples, who are the true Judeans. Personally, I don’t favor the word „Jews” because it is an artificial term that emerged much later; it would be more correct to speak of „Judeans.” Therefore, in my reflections, you will encounter this word, even though in most Bible translations the term „Jews” appears. There will be a lot of valuable content, time will pass quickly, I assure you – it will be interesting, so stay focused. Let’s move on to the topic.

Isaiah 49:6. See what the prophecy announced long before Christ’s coming: „It is too small a thing that you should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel! I will also make you a light for the nations [gentiles], that My salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.” Note the difference between the words „gentiles” and „nations”. In everyday language, many Christians say „gentile” to mean non-Jew, but in reality, the Bible uses the word „nations”, which is much more neutral. It’s an interesting linguistic detail.

Let’s return to this passage: here we have a clear message that grace and salvation are meant not only for the descendants of Jacob, meaning the twelve tribes of Israel, but for the entire world. This is very important, because Israel itself was a small group – God wanted to expand the covenant to all nations. Let’s move on. Isaiah 59:20. „But to Zion there shall come a Redeemer, and to those of Jacob who turn from transgression – declares the Lord.” Here it refers to Christ, who was to come as redeemer. Many believe this refers to the future, to the second coming of the Messiah, but let’s remember: Christ has already come as Savior – that’s the meaning of His name Yeshu. Now we wait for His return as King and Judge. It is worth pausing here and analyzing further prophecies.

Psalm 118:22. „The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” This prophecy was fulfilled at the moment Yeshu came as the redeemer but was rejected by those who were supposed to be the „builders” – the leaders of the people, as well as by Israel itself as the chosen nation, meant to build the community, congregation, Church. They were the sons of the Kingdom of God, and yet they rejected the Messiah, considering Him the unfit „stone”.

Let’s move on to another very important prophecy: Exodus 19:5-6. „Now if you will listen carefully to My voice and keep My covenant, you shall be My special possession out of all the nations… But you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” Zionists are eager to emphasize Israel’s uniqueness but overlook the condition: „if you listen carefully to My voice.” Today’s Israel as a nation largely does not listen to God’s voice, and orthodox Jews (because orthodox means „true”) reject Christ, in fact, they are openly hostile toward Him. Therefore, the covenant does not find its full fulfillment in them. It’s worth highlighting: the original promise was addressed to this nation, but on the condition of obedience.

Now let’s stop at a very important story, crucial for understanding today’s topic – the parable of the vineyard from Matthew 21 starting from verse 33. „There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He built a wall around it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, and finally rented it to some farmers and went away.” In this parable, the landowner is God, the vineyard is the Israelite nation, and the farmers are the leaders of that people. When the time for harvest came,The landowner sent his servants to collect the harvest – this is a symbol of the prophets. But the tenants beat them, killed them, rejected them. Finally, he sent his Son, thinking that they would respect Him, but they also killed the Son, thinking they would seize the inheritance.

This is a clear reference to the fate of Christ, who was rejected and killed by the leaders of Israel. Yeshu asks: „When, therefore, the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” And here comes the answer – the people concerned themselves admit: „He will miserably destroy those wretches, and lease the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits at the proper time.” Yeshu adds: „Therefore I tell you: The Kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation that will produce its fruits.”

Those to whom these words were addressed eventually realized that Yeshu was speaking about them and were greatly offended – from then on, they wanted to get rid of Him. Christ spoke very clearly: if you reject the Messiah, you will lose the covenant and all privileges, and another nation that obeys God will receive them.

Today, some Zionist Christians claim that the vineyard still belongs to Israel, that „nothing has changed”, and the Messiah has not taken away their rights – unfortunately, in this way they twist the teachings of the Lord Yeshu. We must remember: what Christ declared is the truth – the Kingdom and the privileges were taken away from those who rejected the Son of God. They themselves admitted it with their words, and history has shown that this is exactly what happened. When they demanded Christ’s death from Pilate, they said: „His blood be on us and on our children” – today they do not like these words, but they are a historical fact.

Just as this parable is a historical fact, I want to emphasize so that no one thinks it’s just an invented story. Listen, I didn’t write this, I didn’t make it up – these are the words of Christ Himself, who was an Israelite, or more precisely – a descendant of King David. He was therefore the rightful heir to the throne, a king by lineage, and had every right to address his nation. This passage of the New Testament does not come from some opponent of Israel, but from its most distinguished representative. What’s more, these words were written down by Matthew – a Judean who today would unhesitatingly be called a Jew. This shows that we are not dealing with some anti-Jewish narrative – quite the opposite.

It is worth talking about this, because many contemporary Jews think that the New Testament was written by pagans hostile to their nation. Yet these are words spoken by the King of Judah, by their own Messiah, and written by a man who was one of them. Of course, I realize that the terms “Jew” and “Judean” are not identical, but to more easily reach people accustomed to current Bible translations, please allow me to use this term for the purposes of this conversation. I would like to make it clear that I do not hold a hostile attitude toward this group – I approach the topic as Christ taught. I believe we should have the same attitude toward others as He did Himself. However – as the parable shows – it was those involved who by their own decisions judged themselves and lost the privileges.

It is worth noting how the Jews present at Yeshu words did not immediately understand that the parable concerned them, and when they realized what it was about, they became very angry. So we see that Christ spoke very clearly about the future of the nation of Israel. To better understand this teaching, let’s see what Christ Himself said in the Gospel of Matthew – written by a Jew about the Jewish Messiah. I repeat, even though I do not fully agree with equating a Judean with a modern Jew, for the sake of simplicity let’s use this term to better understand the message.

In the eighth chapter of Matthew, we meet a Roman centurion, a gentile, who had great faith in Yeshu as the Son of God. And what did Christ say then? He was amazed and turned to the people with Him: „Amen, I tell you: I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” Note that the praise goes not to an Israelite, but to a foreigner. And further: „Many will come from the east and the west and will sit with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven.” Thus, Christ foretells that people from different nations—not just Israel—will enter the Kingdom of God, and the sons of the kingdom, that is, the descendants of Israel, will be rejected and thrown outside, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

This is a clear picture: the tenants of the vineyard—the Israelites—will be deprived of their inheritance, and their place will be taken by others. Their anger and weeping will be the result of their own decisions, not the judgment of outsiders. Christ clearly prophesied this, so I do not understand how Christians can succumb to the narrative that the nation of Israel has retained special privileges. After all, the Messiah Himself, their rightful king, said that those who rejected Him would themselves be rejected.

In the New Testament, we have other parables that confirm this—though we won’t discuss them today, it is worth returning to them to build understanding and not be misled by stories of eternal privileges for the chosen nation. Of course, we may hear the argument that today’s Jews are not to blame for the death of Christ because they live two thousand years later. That is true, but it is not about historical guilt, rather about whether a person recognizes Christ as their King, submits to Him, and follows His way. If not, they cannot enter God’s Kingdom.

Let’s also look at the Gospel of John—written by a Jew, but containing the words of Christ: „I am the gate for the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers… I am the entrance. If anyone enters through Me, they will be saved.” (John 10:8-9). There is no other way to God. John emphasizes this also in chapter 14: „I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” There is no such thing as a „Jewish path” to God that bypasses Christ!

Matthew, in chapter seven, cites another important thought: „Enter through the narrow gate! For the gate and the broad road lead to ruin [destruction], and many enter through them.” (Matthew 8:13) This is not a warning against atheists, but against believers who, in seeking God, follow false guides. Christ warns against false prophets who appear innocent but actually lead to destruction. This is a warning for us today as well, not to let ourselves be deceived by teachings suggesting that Israel has retained its privilege despite rejecting Christ.

All the above arguments show that Israel—as a nation—was rejected, and its place in ownership, that is, in the vineyard, was to be taken by other people, those who accepted Christ. If anyone denies this, then—unfortunately—they make Christ out to be a liar, because He Himself foretold it: „You will kill Me, you will lose power, and the vineyard will be entrusted to others.”

The apostles, who were also Judeans, continued this teaching. An example is Paul, from the tribe of Benjamin, who after his conversion understood the depth of God’s plan. In the Letter to the Romans 11:1, Paul asks: „Has God rejected His people? By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.” The proof that God has not completely rejected Israel is the fact that He left Himself a remnant of the faithful—like in the times of Elijah, when, despite widespread apostasy, God preserved 7000 men faithful to Him. It is similar today—salvation is for those who follow Christ, regardless of their origin.

Thus, even in present times, only „the remnant chosen by grace” remains. Paul emphasizes that not all Israel, but only a remnant of that nation, will attain salvation. This small group will receive grace—and if by grace, then no longer by works, because then grace would no longer be grace. Of course, I mean works understood in the context of the Law. So, what results from this teaching? Israel did not fully achieve what it so zealously sought—only the chosen, the „remnant”, attained salvation. You will often hear that God „has not rejected Israel” and similar arguments. However, it is often overlooked that this refers only to a small part, to that remnant chosen from Israel.

We read further that Israel did not attain what it desired—that is, salvation—while the chosen, the remnant, the small group, received it. The rest, however, became hardened. That’s simply how reality looks—the „breath” was taken from them: they have eyes but do not see, ears but do not hear—up to this day. Verses 9-10. „Let their table become a snare, a trap, a stumbling block and a recompense! Let their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and keep their backs bent forever!”

You see, although some will quote passages suggesting that Israel is still the chosen, one must remember what Paul truly emphasizes: only a few, only a remnant of Israel will be saved. So the question arises: did the Israelites stumble so badly that they cannot rise again? Paul answers: by no means! It is precisely through their rejection that salvation has been offered to the nations, to stir Israel to competition. Remember the prophecy which says that a remnant will be saved from the house of Jacob, but that’s not enough—so God will make Israel a light for the nations. Paul refers to this: he hopes that seeing how the nations grow in Christ, the Israelites will feel a certain jealousy and long to return to this. If Israel’s fall brought riches to the world, and their loss enrichment to the nations, how much more will their return bring?!

Here we enter ground often used by various manipulators: interpretations of what „the whole” and what „the remnant” are. But let’s go on. Paul addresses the nations directly in verses 13-14: „To you nations I speak: as an apostle to the nations, I take pride in my ministry in this hope that I might stir my compatriots to competition and save at least some of them.” Paul never speaks of the salvation of all Israel—his desire was to save even just a few. He devoted his ministry to this.

There thus remains room for hope—for if Israel’s rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be, if not life from the dead? It is not about a mass, mythical conversion of Israel, but even one or a few people—that is already reason for great joy, as in the parable of the prodigal son. Verse 16: „For if the firstfruits [the dough] are holy, then so is the whole batch; if the root is holy, so are the branches.”

And here we come to the image of the olive tree. „If some branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, do not boast over those branches. And if you do, [remember that] you do not support the root, but the root supports you.” Paul warns: „Don’t let it go to your head”—you received the privilege because of their rejection, but that is no reason for pride or to belittle them. Don’t think, either, that the branches were cut off just so you could be grafted in. They were cut off because of unbelief—they were like dry, dead branches. In their place those from the nations were grafted in. But if you fall into pride or sin, you too can be cut off.

Paul clearly calls for humility here: if God did not spare the natural branches, He will all the less spare you if you stop persevering in faith. So consider the kindness and severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but kindness toward you—provided that you continue in that kindness. Otherwise, you too will be cut off. So there is no difference—Jew or Gentile, if one does not persist in faith, they will be cut off. This is precisely the essential meaning of this teaching.

And they – the Israelites – if they stop persisting in unbelief, can be grafted in again with ease. God has this power: anyone who believes will be grafted in again, regardless of nationality. However, the condition is faith in Christ, not simply lineage. Verses 24-26: „For if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature and, contrary to nature, were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more easily can these, who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree. I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers – so that you do not think too highly of yourselves – that hardness has come upon part of Israel until the full number of the nations has come in. And this is how all Israel will be saved, as it is written: The deliverer will come from Zion and will turn ungodliness away from Jacob.”

But how does this happen? Imagine that from the olive tree, which is Israel, the withered branches were cut off – then only a small, inconspicuous tree was left. However, because branches from the nations were grafted into this little tree, the whole – all Israel – is saved. This is Paul’s idea: by grafting people from the nations into the tree of Israel, a new, beautiful, lush tree arises. This is „all Israel”, not just a stump, not just remnants. Unfortunately, not everyone understands this image – there is no mention here of a future, mass conversion of all Israel. In fact, it is always mentioned that only a small handful is involved.

Moreover, the conversion of the remnant of Israel has already taken place – it occurred in the 1st century. Unfortunately, some, manipulating the Bible or seeking to defend Israel’s interests, try to convince others that this is yet to come. Meanwhile, according to the biblical account, it already happened back then.

It is also interesting that on the one hand, because of the Gospel, present-day Israelites are enemies for your sake, but because of the election – they remain beloved for the sake of the patriarchs. The gifts and calling of God are irrevocable. Any Jew who converts will be received with open arms – and this is a cause for great joy, like the return of the prodigal son. But only at the moment when they truly convert. Without that, there is no new „grafting in” – without faith they are destined, as foretold earlier, for destruction.

We see the same in the parable of the vineyard: if someone repents, they can receive forgiveness, and the vineyard can be leased out again. Indeed, that is exactly what happened – look at Acts, chapter 2. Peter speaks in verse 32: „God raised up this Yeshu, of which we are all witnesses.” How did the Jews react? Verse 37: „They were cut to the heart,” they asked, „What should we do, brothers?” They did not hear: „It’s over for you,” but rather verses 38-39: „Correct yourselves, and let each of you be immersed in the name of Yeshu the Anointed for the forgiveness of your failings, and you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit. Because the promise is for you, for your children, for all those who are far off, as well as for everyone whom the Lord our God will call.” Since they regretted, repented, they were accepted back into the vineyard.

It was only a remnant – a small part of the nation of Israel that accepted Christ’s teachings. The majority, however, remained in opposition, the result of which was the later persecution of the apostles. Christ did not reject Israel, but rather developed and expanded it. It was not about rejecting Israel, as many mistakenly believe. The essence of this change was the opening of Israel to people of all nations who wished to follow God. In this way, God recognized this new community as His chosen people – as His true Israel. That is exactly why the apostles spoke of „grafting” new people into Israel, which is not accepted in the eyes of today’s Zionists, for whom bloodline and genetic heritage are what matters most. Meanwhile, even modern DNA studies show that today’s Jews do not have the kind of genetic consistency they would expect.So Christ did not „cast out” Israel, did not abandon its name and heritage, but accepted new people into it—„new farmers,” as he himself called them—from other nations. Who are these „new farmers”? Anyone who desires to bear good fruit.

Let us now look at a few historical events. First of all, let us turn to the Acts of the Apostles, chapter thirteen. Christ preached this truth, and the apostles continued His mission, doing everything they could to convert the Jews. However, the Acts of the Apostles describe what ultimately happened. In Acts 13:46-47, we read the words of Paul and Barnabas: „The word of God had to be spoken to you first. But since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. For this is what the Lord has commanded us: I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.” These prophecies, which we discussed earlier, were being fulfilled right before their eyes. The Gentiles responded with joy—of course not all, but a significant number. Verse 48: „When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord, and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.” And what did the Jews do? Verse 50: „But the Jews incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region.” Then the apostles did as Christ had taught: they shook the dust from their feet, signaling that they were no longer responsible for those who would not listen. But the key is their statement: we first preached to you, but since you reject it, we now go to the Gentiles. Just as was foretold! Those invited to the feast did not come, so others were invited.

So who is the true Israel today—or rather, from that time on? Let us listen to what Paul wrote in Romans 2:26-29. „If those who are not circumcised keep the law’s requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised?” So circumcision itself does not matter—what counts is keeping the law. „The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you, who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.” In other words—a Gentile who does not have the Mosaic Law, but has the law written in their heart and lives by it, will judge the unfaithful Israelite who had the law but did not keep it. Paul further explains: „A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical, but a person is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from people, but from God.” This means that it is not the external features, not physical circumcision, that determine being a true Israelite, but circumcision of the heart, obedience to God, living according to the Spirit. A Gentile who follows the teachings of Christ is a true Israelite.

Even in the context of today’s conflicts—if there is someone in Palestine who believes in Yeshu Christ, follows Him, and lives by His teachings, that person, according to Paul’s teachings, has more right to the title of „Israelite” than a Jew who has not accepted Christ. This is the fundamental teaching of the apostle Paul, a Jew, who clearly wrote that to be a Jew in God’s eyes is to follow the teachings of Christ, regardless of origin, genes, or circumcision. What counts is spiritual transformation—„circumcision of the heart”—not literal fulfillment of the Mosaic Law. A modern Israelite who claims genetic descent but persecutes or kills Christians is not the true inheritor of God’s promises. Of course, true followers of Christ have always been few—this is the „narrow road”—but those who walk it are in God’s eyes His true people.

Let us confirm this further with the letter to the Galatians 3:15-16 and 26-29. Paul writes: „Brothers! Even among humans, a ratified covenant cannot be set aside or added to. Yet the promise was given to Abraham ‘and to your seed,’ it does not say ‘and to the descendants,’ as if to many, but as to one, ‘and to your Descendant,’ who is the Anointed One.” Furthermore: “For you are all sons of God through faith in the Anointed Yeshu. For all of you who were immersed into the Anointed have put on the Anointed. There is neither Judean nor Greek; there is neither slave nor free; there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in the Anointed Yeshu. If you belong to the Anointed, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise.” Notice: Paul addresses these words to the Gentiles in Galatia, yet still says that they – through faith in Christ – are the true offspring of Abraham, heirs of God’s promises. In apostle Paul’s teaching, it is not the physical, but the spiritual Israel – that is, those who believe in Christ – who have the right to God’s blessings and promises given to Abraham. Israel is those who are „in Christ,” according to His teachings and the teachings of His apostles.

It is precisely to this Israel that all the Old Testament prophecies about God’s people in the end times refer—not to the earthly, fleshly Israel, but to spiritual Israel, which has existed for almost two thousand years now, since the breaking of the covenant with the old Israel that rejected the Messiah. This was sealed by the words of Christ himself, who said that since the heir was killed, the „vineyard” would be given to other nations.

This was not just Paul’s teaching. All the apostles taught this. Let’s take a look at 1 Peter 2:5. „You yourselves, like living stones, are being built up into a house of the Spirit, a holy priesthood, to offer sacrifices fitting for the spirit, pleasing to God through Yeshu the Anointed.” Peter writes to the nations, to Gentiles who have accepted Christ, even though according to the Law it was Israel that was to be a priestly nation, if only they obeyed God. Now, however, it is the Gentiles who have accepted Christ’s teachings that have become „a chosen group, a royal priesthood, a nation set apart for purity, a people purchased, so that you might proclaim the nobility of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. You, who once were not a people, now are God’s people; for whom once there was no mercy, now you have received mercy (grace).” (verses 9-10).

So we see clearly that the true chosen people are not those who merely claim physical descent from Abraham, but those who follow Christ and are his disciples. Even at the end of the first century, the apostles clearly stated that even those who are genetically descended from Abraham are not recognized by God as the true Israel if they have not followed the Messiah. God chooses those who serve him in spirit and in truth.

We now move to the fifth chapter of Revelation—we turn to the writings of the apostle John. He is another of the apostles, who wrote his revelations even later, probably about 30 years after the destruction of the temple and the total severance of ties with the nation of Israel. Until then, God was worshiped through the temple, his Spirit resided there. After the destruction of the temple, this bond was broken—for the apostles it became clear that the Jews no longer had any special privileges. Yet many people did not understand this, and still do not. So it is worthwhile to see what John wrote on this subject—although it should be remembered that what he conveys is a vision.

Revelation 5:9-10. „And they sing a new song: ‘Worthy are you to take the book and to open its seals, for you were slain and by your blood purchased for God [people] from every tribe, language, people, and nation, and you made them for our God a kingdom and priests, and they shall reign on the earth.’”

Take note—Gentiles will reign on the earth! The earlier verses even say that they will judge the Jews for their lack of faith. John understood this perfectly, though it is not his personal opinion but the revelation he received. Let’s look further.

Revelation 2:9. „I know your tribulation and poverty—but you are rich—and [I know] the slander by those who call themselves Jews, but are not, but are a synagogue of the slanderer (Satan).”

Similar words appear in Revelation 3:9:

Behold, I will give you [people] from the synagogue of the slanderer (Satan), among those who say that they are Jews—but are not, but lie. Behold, I will make them come and fall down at your feet, and they will know that I have loved you.”

This is not about a genetic lie—they may well have been Jews by flesh—but they were rejected by God. For God, they no longer existed as a chosen nation. The true Jews were those who followed Christ—this was the true nation, the true Israel. The apostles understood this perfectly—though today many preachers try to distort this truth.

But that’s not all—let’s see what Paul writes in the Letter to the Galatians. This is the real „cherry on top.” Few churches teach about this openly, and certainly not those who build their theology on promoting Zionism.

Galatians 4:21-31. „Tell me, you who want to live under the Law, do you not understand that Law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one from the slave woman and one from the free woman. But the one from the slave woman was born only according to the flesh, while the one from the free woman was born as a result of the promise. These events also have an allegorical meaning: these women represent two covenants; one, established on Mount Sinai, leads to slavery, and it is represented by Hagar: Sinai is a mountain in Arabia, and its counterpart is present-day Jerusalem. For it, along with its children, remains in slavery. Meanwhile, the heavenly Jerusalem enjoys freedom and it is our mother.”

So we have an earthly Israel and a spiritual Israel; a physical Jerusalem and a Jerusalem from heaven. Hagar symbolizes physical Israel. Further we read:

Rejoice, barren woman who has not given birth, shout for joy, you who have not known the pains of childbirth, for the lonely woman has more children than she who has a husband. You, brothers, are like Isaac, children of the promise.”

Pay attention: This letter is addressed to the Galatians, that is, pagans. They are called children of the promise, like Isaac! Hagar and Ishmael symbolize Israel according to the flesh, while the children of the promise are those who believed—both Jews and pagans. Further:

But just as then the one born only according to the flesh persecuted the one born according to the spirit, so it is now. But what does Scripture say? Drive out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman will not inherit along with the son of the free woman. So then, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free.”

Both Peter, who was a Jew, and the Galatians—pagans—are children of the promise. Peter as the remnant of faithful Israel, pagans as those who joined from among the nations—all are part of the heavenly Jerusalem, not the earthly one. This is the true Israel, whose King is the Messiah, Yeshu.

We find a similar message in the Letter to the Hebrews 12:22-24.

But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to myriads of angels in festive gathering, to the Church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God, the judge of all, to the spirits of those who are righteous and have reached their goal, to the Mediator of the New Covenant — Yeshu…”

We can see clearly: both Gentiles and Jews who have believed have an equal place—there is no longer any difference. And although God has not rejected the Jews to the extent that they cannot convert—they can always come back, like prodigal children, and will be welcomed with open arms—the status of the chosen nation has been lost.

That is why it is so important to teach people properly so they are not led astray. Because if someone is deceived by false prophets who twist biblical prophecies, it is easy to get drawn into accepting actions that are not approved by God. Supporting a „false Israel” that lays claim to divine rights means the return of the tenants of the vineyard who rejected the Messiah. Now Satan has reorganized them and convinces the world that they have this right—it is he who gives them power. Many Christians are deceived because they do not know or understand the passages we discussed today. But if you have learned these texts, you possess unique knowledge and will not be deceived.

What does this mean for the future? In Revelation, chapter 21 describes the finale: a new heaven and a new earth, the first world has passed away, the holy city—the new Jerusalem—descends from heaven, adorned like a bride for her Husband. This is not literally a city as a building, but rather the community of Christ’s brothers, His Bride. This is the place where God will dwell with people, wipe away every tear, there will be no more death, sorrow, or suffering, because everything will be renewed.

What I mentioned at the beginning is already well known to us. As for the comparison to the olive tree—you need to understand that some branches were cut off. Currently, there is one olive tree whose roots go back to ancient Israel. It is into these roots, into these old branches, that wild shoots—people from other nations—were grafted two thousand years ago. They are the ones who today form the true Israel. It is a beautiful shrub that has grown from spiritual, not earthly, roots.

Unfortunately, Satan, seeing that true believers make no claim to earthly possessions but only to spiritual ones, decided to create his own imitation olive tree—looking similar, but lacking real fruit. This tree claims the right to authenticity, from Abraham to today, but in reality it is a mixture of various nations. It is estimated that only about 7% of these people actually come from the cut-off branches, while as much as 93% are entirely wild branches, grafted in from various places.

If you have the right knowledge, you probably know that the majority of modern Jews are so-called Ashkenazi Jews, often also referred to as Khazars. This is important—Khazaria was an Asian kingdom, not of Semitic origin, not descended from either Abraham or even Shem, although one third of people on Earth do indeed come from Shem. At one point the Khazars, but also people from various other nations, including Poles, converted to Judaism. A person who joined this religion was initially called a proselyte, but after a few generations all their descendants were then considered native Jews. In reality, therefore, these are artificially grafted branches, often not even typical olive branches.

In this way, Satan creates his competing olive tree and sells it as God’s. He is assisted by agitators who convince believers that their tree is the real one. But, as I have already mentioned, it does not produce any good fruit. The fruits of the spirit should be visible in the lives of true believers—because our olive tree is spiritual. Meanwhile, those branches focus on observing often distorted laws, falsify history, and introduce coercion.

In today’s Israel, even the appearance of authentic worship of God is extremely difficult. If someone were to openly admit belief in the Messiah—Yeshu—life there becomes virtually impossible. I have not heard of any group, there is hardly anyone who would openly profess this faith—at most, there are rumors about a few individuals. Those who profess Yeshua are considered a completely different category, but even so, both secular and Orthodox Jews know that Yeshu is the name of Christ. Atheists do not care, but the Orthodox are capable of making life miserable for anyone who admits to this faith—there are known cases of disrupting messianic services or even arson attacks on homes.

It is therefore hard to speak of the free development of Christianity in Israel. The propaganda surrounding the name Yeshu is very strong there. Only those who truly believe can function in secret—they cannot step out of hiding. Israel as a state is officially atheist, and yet it does not tolerate Christianity. Interestingly, even a Muslim may receive citizenship if they can prove Jewish descent, whereas a Christian—even if from a Jewish family—is rejected. I know of a case of a Polish priest who, as a child, was rescued from a Jewish home by nuns: when he wanted to settle in Israel after retirement, he was denied citizenship because he was a Christian. He had to resort to legal tricks.

Many do not realize that today Christians are, in a way, forced to pay homage to Israel, which in turn rejects them. This is a huge deception. We must remember that the true Church—the true Israel—is the community of those who believe in Christ, both Jews and Gentiles. All who believe in Christ Yeshu may enter this „Upper Jerusalem.” Christ is the only gate through which one can enter this spiritual nation.

Christ did not break the covenant with Abraham—He fulfilled it. The covenant with Abraham concerned a blessing for all nations.

As I conclude this lecture, I would like to leave you with one key thought. Throughout our analysis of biblical texts, one fundamental conclusion has stood out: the identity of true Israel is not merely a matter of biological ancestry, and God’s promises have never been unconditional.

As we have seen in the example of the prophecies of Isaiah and the telling parable of the vineyard, from the very beginning God’s plan of salvation was universal and intended for all nations. The rejection of the Messiah by the religious leaders of the time resulted in the privileges of the Kingdom being given to a people who „will bear its fruit”—a community founded on faithfulness and spiritual obedience. However, this does not mean there is room for any hostility or prejudice. On the contrary, our task is to look at this complex history solely through the lens of Christ’s teachings—with deep understanding and respect. Let this biblical lesson remind us every day that belonging to God’s plan is a great privilege that requires us to continually bear good fruit.
