Larry Bray The True Israel of God

We the New Testament people, we are the true Israel of God. That is what is showing when the name of Jacob was changed from Jacob to Israel. Jacob is showing the Old Testament, that old Israel and Israel is showing the New Testament the new Israel. Now let’s go into the book of Genesis to see this. 

Genesis 28 10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep

Now you need to see what he Is talking about when he said the sun was set, and he took the stones and put them for his pillows, and laying down in that place to sleep.

The sun was set is showing that the sun went down on that Old Testament or that Old Israel, We not longer can serve God under that Old Testament Way, or the way that that old Israel served God.

Now let me try to show you where the sun went down on those Old Testament Prophets, Priests, and Kings. In other words the sunset, means that you cannot serve God under that Old Testament law.

Zec 11:8 - Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me. ( The three shepherds that God cut off were the Old Testament Prophets, Priests, and Kings. This was old Israel. God loathed them, in other words he was never satisfied with that old Israel and they abhorred him. In other words they detested him or hated God.

Still on verse 11**** And he took of the stones of that place, ( Old Testament or old Israel) and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. ( The stones that were his pillars were those Commandments that was wrote on stone and also the law, that old Israel, or Jacob. In other words his pillars or foundation was fixing to fall or they were going to be put to sleep as it was when Sampson shook the pillars of the temple and it fell down or was put to sleep. That is what the pillars are a foundation. He( Jesus) had to put the first man Adam ( Jacob or old Israel) to sleep to become the second man Adam ( Israel). 
We need to see this spiritual and not natural. Also we need to see what I am fixing to say about the ladder. 

Gen. 28: 12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. Is this not what was said in John?

Joh 1:51 - And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. 

Now to see what the ladder was. I hope you can see that this ladder was set up on the earth. This was Jesus as earthly man. In other words the footstone had become the headstone. This is the stone that the old Israel rejected.

Mr 12:10 - And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner

So to reach the top to heaven, we must be changed as Jesus was. We must have a name change. Jesus had to also have a name change. While here on earth he was Jesus the Son of Man( old Israel) and at the resurrection he was Jesus Christ the Son of God (new Israel). In other words he was the old Israel while on this earth and the new Israel at the resurrection. We must come into the new Israel a step at a time. That is what the ladder is showing. The ladder is Jesus Christ. 

The ladder is showing that it is the only way that we can get to God. We must go by that ladder (Jesus Christ) to get to God. There is no other way. The ladder is showing the mediator between us and God.

1Ti 2:5 - For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; ( See the ladder here in this verse.

Jesus also said, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.( So I hope you can see that Jesus is the ladder. We must go by the ladder to get to God.

Larry Bray Jesus was that ladder that reached from earth to heaven. He had to put the first man Adam (or Jacob, old Israel) to sleep to become the second man Adam ( Israel) the true sheep of God.

16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LO
RD is in this place; and I knew it not.( Awake means to come alive. Awake also means that it was a new day of new move of God. This is showing Jesus Christ coming forth as the Son of God at the resurrection. This is showing the name change. He went from being the son of man to being the son of God. This is also showing the old Jacob ( old Israel) coming forth as Israel (the true Israel.)

17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.( Now he said that this is the gate to heaven. What was the gate to heaven ? The ladder, of course. Now what is a gate? A gate is an entrance which is nothing but a door. Now that we know that Jesus is the ladder and the gate is a door let’s see what the door is.

Joh 10:9 *** I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. ( So we must enter in by the ladder which is the gate which is the door which is Jesus. This is the true Israel of God. The NT way of serving God. 

Joh 10:1**** Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. ( Now this is showing the old Israel. If you trying to get to God by the old way you are trying to come in as a thief and a robber. In other words if you are going through Jacob (OT) you are trying to enter in under the blood of bulls and goats. That old Israel (or Jacob) 

Genesis 28 18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.( See the rising up on the morning was showing a new day or as I had said before, a new move of God).

“And took the stone that he had put for his pillows” ( Before Jacob slept, he placed stones (plural) under his head, but when he woke up after his dream he took the stone that he had under his head (singular) and built it into an altar. This is showing that he was no longer under the headship of that old Israel but now he was under the headship of the true Israel of God. Now he was under the true pillar or the foundation which is Jesus Christ the Son of God.

Jesus Christ was that stone. That stone was the pillar or the foundation.

“And poured oil upon the top of it” ( Who was anointed in the Scriptures? This is showing the ANOINTING of Jesus.

Lu 4:18 - The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 

Ac 10:38 - 
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. 

This is showing the true Israel of God. In the Old Testament it was the High Priest that was anointed but now Jesus has become our High Priest. He is that stone. This is the stone which became the head of the corner with the anointing. This is the True Israel of God.

Eph 2:20 - And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone. ( See that Jesus Christ was the stone?)

Gen 28:1919- And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.
20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:
22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.

This stone ( Jesus) which was set for a pillar( foundation) was the true Israel of God.

So you see why Jacob had to have a name change. He could not come in under the name of Jacob ( Old Israel) which means deceiver. He had to come in under the name Israel the true name of God. This is where God put his name.

And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. 

And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. ( Jacob’s name was changed from "deceiver" to "Israel," which means, "God rules; or strives with God; or a prince of God;

The changing of a name in the ‘word’ I believe was showing a new move of God.

Romans 9
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

John 6 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

1 Corinthians 214 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

These verses tell us that the natural descendants of Abraham after the flesh are not the children of God.

The only chosen nation today are both Jews and Gentiles who have been born again by the Spirit of God and received the Holy Ghost and been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.

When you do this you take on a new name. This is the ones that are the true Israel of God. 

1 Peter 29 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

These only "are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people" The True Israel of God.

22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.

This stone ( Jesus) which was set for a pillar( foundation) was the true Israel of God.

So you see why Jacob had to have a name change. He could not come in under the name of Jacob ( Old Israel) which means deceiver. He had to come in under the name Israel the true name of God. This is where God put his name.

And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
