Many confuse the physical Children and Nation of Israel with the Spiritual Children of faith. In Chapter 9, Paul the Apostle uses the covenant of Israel to show the difference between the two and how God did not give the "Promises of Faith" to the Physical Bloodline but to a "Faith line" of Israel that believed. The promises are not to every person in the physical covenant of Israel but to believing Israel. Just as there are physical and visible churches that carry on the Spiritual line, so too, Physical Israel carried on a faith line of the Israelites who brought forth the Spiritual seed for the whole world.
In this lesson we show the Two Covenants God has used to preserve the Spiritual line of Faith in Both Old and New Testaments, Church and Israel. We show how Believing Israel will receive all the promises made to it and so too the Whole Believing Church Body will receive all things given to it. And how unbelieving people physically in either covenant, while receiving some of God's temporal blessings and benefits (by being close to God's people) will not receive anything into eternity.
