Succinctly put, the meaning of an ISRAEL OF GOD pertains to an Israel that is approved of God. The first 6000 years of human history has not witnessed an Israel that was approved of God. In the Old Testament, those Israels were constantly turning from God, explaining why those prophets were constantly being sent. If you view history solely through the lens of the last 6000 years, and on that basis teach what an ISRAEL OF GOD is, you will not understand it. The original ISRAEL OF GOD, out of Ezekiel 36, is forming right now. The first one and the only one that will come with a written record will be a role model for future ISRAELs OF GOD.
During an ISRAEL OF GOD, Israel will be given global domination, allowing Israel to fulfill her call to
be a light to the nations. (See Isaiah 42:6, 49:6
51:4-5, and Acts 13:47.) Since we’ve not witnessed first hand an ISRAEL OF GOD being a light to the nations, there would be some limitations on understanding how being a light to the nations is applied. In my vision, during ISRAELs OF GOD, Israel ruled the globe with an iron fist. (See Jeremiah 12:16-17.)
When the Jews are lost, Israel is not an ISRAEL OF GOD, but when the Jews are saved, God will reward them by giving them global domination. The ideal situation in the earth is just that, an ISRAEL OF GOD. This is in the best interest of the Jews and Gentiles. As Israel, out of Ezekiel 36, continues to develop in the coming centuries, our grasp of an ISRAEL OF GOD will become more clear.
