Page "Messianic Judaism" Paragraph 28

According to the Messianic group Jerusalem Council, " the people of Israel are members of the covenant HaShem made with Avraham, Yitzhak, and Ya ' akov.

Covenant membership is extended to converts to Judaism from the nations, as well as to the descendants of covenant members.

Israel is a nation of nations and their descendants, or more specifically a people group called out from other people groups to be a people separated unto HaShem for his purposes.

HaShem's promise of covenantal blessings and curses as described in the Torah are unique to Am Yisrael ( People of Israel ), and to no other nation or people group.

The bible describes an Israelite as one descended from Ya ' akov ben Yitzhak ben Avraham, or one who has been converted or adopted into that group by either human or spiritual means.
