Eph 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called
Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of
Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of
Christ.
Eph 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of
partition between us;
Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in
ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Eph 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the
enmity thereby:

Even God cannot make Israel into Israel. That would be a contradiction of terms. He made
Israel and the Gentiles into something that was neither Israel nor the gentiles. That one new man
is the church, not Israel.

God Bless
