Who is "All" Israel in the New Covenant?

sheep wrecked Wrote:Could you please clarify this point. I am not understanding what this is in reference to. In others words, what do you mean by "us" and "we"?

Heb 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
If I understand the position held here, people believe everyone received freedom from law when the second covenant came into play. No one any longer is bound by the law. And they keep showing me proof texts where the authors are addressing believers and saying these things apply to "we" or "us". The author isn't saying all of mankind has been freed from law. No verse ever says that. They all have some personal pronoun in the passage that limits this freedom to the reborn. For instance, the "we" in Heb 10:10 refers to who were sanctified by through Christ's sacrifice.

Which of Israel's unsaved would fit any of the definitions of sanctified? I know of none. This passage does not pertained to those who do not accept Jesus. It is not proof that all of mankind was freed from law when Jesus was crucified. His sarifice was a universal invitation. But no change took effect for the individual that did not accept the invitation to eternal life and freedom from the bonds of the law. The law is ready to vanish because all have the opportunity for salvation. If all accepted Christ, judgment of our sins would not be required because Jesus paid that price. Judgment is a demand of law. There are two ways the law can finally vanish. Judgment demanded by law gets fulfilled or the need for judgment ceases because all have accepted the opportunity of salvation. The unsaved are not freed from law unless the become reborn into a new man not under the law.

A couple of things that I think are missed. The old covenant was *conditional* based on Israel's obedience. It was their choice to obey and live, or disobey and die. They chose to die. Their blindness was chosen - the covenant broken and dissolved. Jeremiah 31:31,32 says brand new covenant, not like the one given at Mt Sinai.

Secondly, God broke the covenant with Israel after they broke it again and again. This is why the new covenant has replaced it.

Zec 11:6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.
Zec 11:7 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
Zec 11:8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
Zec 11:9 Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
Zec 11:10 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
Zec 11:11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD.

If you believe this is the point where God cast Israel off for good, will you answer some questions for me?
Why, in the very next chapter does Zechariah show the Lord delivering this very same nation? Is Zec 12 about Christ's 1st advent?
When, during Jesus' ministry did :
1] Jerusalem come under seige by surrounding nations [Zec 12:2]?
2] Jesus smites a bunch of horses and riders with madness [Zec 12:4]?
3] The governors of Judah devour all the people round about them [Zec 12:6]?
There's more but you get the point. Zec 12 isn't talking about Christ's 1st advent. So why does Zec show Israel being delivered after God has cast them off permantly as a bnation? Do you believe the chapters in this book are in the wrong order?
Look centuries into the future. How does Jesus fulfill a covenant of Law that no longer exists? I've been told the Law ended with the destruction of the temple. Why did Jesus attend a passover meal? It was a matter of long gone law.
And let's say we found verses that prove law ended then, or at the cross, or when the temple fell. How does that prevent Israel from inheriting the land? The law does not establish the inheritance. Gal 3:16-18 says if the law established the promise it would not be a promise. You could end the law the day it was delivered and the promise would still be sure.
