God blessed man who is created in ‘our image and in our likeness’. This is part of the everlasting covenant.
God has given the earth to man. Coming back to the key text, “The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s: But the earth hath he given to the children of men. (Ps.115:16) Fellowship of God with Man acknowledges no nation per se but man. so salvation plan of God at one level uses Trinity where God the Father sends his only begotten Son. (John 3;16). Second we have the Word. John’s Gospel begins with it. The Word was with God. Only begotten Son in the sense that God taking on human likeness lived among the children of men. “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”(John 1:14). “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one./And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.” (1 John 5:7-8). Whosoever believed in the Testimony of the Three were aligned in their body, soul and spirit.
Faith with works meant the testimony of blood shed by the Son worked in the believer. By baptism of water he established that he died to sin and the world. If this is the case what value one ought to attach to notions of the Gentiles or on Israel? By literalism the imposter church would legitimize Israel as a nation despite of the word of God has set down as the holy writ.
The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is another and it connects God with man through the Son of man whose Ascension as promised was freely given to him.
The earth was void and empty. The Spirit works with symbols so fire water rock and wind make the earth as a whole in ‘our image and our likeness. National identity of Israel or the Gentiles has no place.
The Bible as the God document is written for our instruction in righteousness. The only purpose of nationis to warn us of the pitfalls that national identity can exact from the unwary. “Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.”( 1 Co.10:11)
