The Three Kinds of Israel

  • Definition of Israel:

    • Israel means "to overcome" and symbolizes God’s chosen people created through the one who overcomes (Genesis 32:26-28).

    • Three kinds: Physical Israel (Old Testament), Spiritual Israel (New Testament), and New Spiritual Israel (Revelation’s fulfillment).

  • Physical Israel:

    • Began with Jacob, who overcame an angel, was renamed Israel, and established the 12 tribes through his sons (Genesis 32:26-28, 35:9-11, 49:28).

    • Figuratively described as sun, moon, and stars (God’s family in heaven, Genesis 37:9-11).

    • God made a covenant with them as a treasured possession and holy nation (Exodus 19:5-6).

    • Betrayed God by worshiping gentile gods under Solomon, leading to division and destruction by Babylon and Assyria (1 Kings 11).

    • Ended at the first coming with John the Baptist, as the kingdom was taken away (Luke 16:16, Matthew 21:43).

  • Spiritual Israel:

    • Began with Jesus, who overcame the devil (John 16:33), becoming the new Israel.

    • Established through believers born of God’s spiritual seed, not physical descent, via the Holy Spirit (John 1:12-13, Matthew 1:18-21, Jeremiah 31:22).

    • Jesus sowed God’s seed in the churches of Christianity, creating the 12 tribes of spiritual Israel through his disciples (Matthew 13:24, 37).

    • Ended at the second coming due to betrayal, as the dragon’s group invades and conquers the tabernacle of heaven (Revelation 13:1-2, 6-7; Matthew 24:29-31).

    • The darkening and falling of sun, moon, and stars signify the corruption of shepherds, evangelists, and saints (Revelation 6:12-13).

  • New Spiritual Israel:

    • Begins at Revelation’s fulfillment through the one who overcomes the dragon (Satan) with the blood of the Lamb and testimony (Revelation 12:5, 9-11).

    • The overcomer, identified with Shinchanji’s Chairman Lee Manhi, delivers the revealed word of Revelation 10, harvesting and sealing believers from Christianity’s churches (Revelation 14:14-16, 7:4).

    • Creates the 12 tribes of new spiritual Israel (144,000 sealed and a great multitude in white, Revelation 7:9), the new heaven and new earth where God’s kingdom descends (Revelation 21).

    • This eternal kingdom, promised in Daniel 2:44, will never be destroyed.

  • Harvest and Sealing:

    • Jesus’ seed, sown 2,000 years ago, is harvested at the second coming from Christianity’s churches (Matthew 13:30, Revelation 14:14-16).

    • The sealed 144,000 and multitude in white are those who engrave God’s word in their hearts, becoming God’s new chosen people (Revelation 7:4, 9).

  • Call to Action:

    • Believers must recognize the end of spiritual Israel and join the new spiritual Israel by being harvested and sealed to avoid judgment (Matthew 8:11-12).

    • Those who cling to the old era, like the Jews at the first coming, risk persecution and missing salvation (John 16:25).

    • Pastors and believers are urged to share this word to enter God’s eternal kingdom together.

  • Shinchanji’s Role:

    • Identified as the new spiritual Israel, the 12 tribes created through the overcomer, fulfilling Revelation’s promises.

    • The seminar, broadcast in 24 languages, reveals the secrets of heaven as physical realities, fulfilling Jesus’ promise (John 16:25).

    • Encourages global believers to contact Shinchanji for inquiries and to sign MOUs to unite in God’s word.

  • Next Steps:

    • The next seminar (Lesson 23: Three Kinds of Heaven and the Figurative Key) will further reveal heaven’s secrets.

    • Believers are encouraged to attend and join the new spiritual Israel to enter the kingdom of heaven where God and Jesus dwell.
