ISRAEL REBORN
Written by Rev. Moshe ElijahShalom (Hello) in the name of Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus). Below is a brief outline of my book "Israel Reborn - Law versus Grace".
God bless you in Yeshua's Name.
This book is a combination of two books:
1. Law Versus Grace
This compares the old covenant of Law of Moses with the New Covenant of Grace of Christ.
2. God's Regathering and Restoration of Israel
This gives scriptural proof that God is restoring Israel by His divine Hand.
Preface
The New Covenant of the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ (Yeshua HA Mashiach) has replaced and superseded the Old Covenant of the Law of Moses, for righteousness with God - for salvation.We are saved by the Grace of God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha Mashiach). Repentance is a component of faith, and is essential for salvation.
There is only one gospel of Christ (Messiah) for salvation, for both Jew and Gentile.
The fact that the Old Covenant of the Law of Moses has been abolished for salvation, and also that the major part of Israel had rejected Christ (Messiah), does not mean, or result in, the promises of God to Israel being transferred to the Church. This is the false doctrine (heresy) of Replacement Theology. I strongly oppose this heresy which is inspired by the forces from the pit of hell. Israel is Israel, and the Church is the Church.
When the Lord Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha Mashiach) comes again, it will be to the Mt of Olives in Jerusalem, and He will become the King of Israel, reigning on David's throne in His temple in Jerusalem. Christ (Messiah) is also the Head of the Church. That is, Christ (Messiah) has a dual role.
God has made many other covenants with the nation of Israel, in addition to the Mosaic Covenant of Law. These other covenants have not been abolished – they are everlasting and unconditional, which would ensure the final restoration of the Nation of Israel with Christ (Messiah) reigning on David's throne as the King of Israel, fulfilling the Davidic Covenant. God is a covenant-keeping God.
This will happen in the time of the Millennial Kingdom of Christ (Messiah) – 1,000 years of peace with Christ (Messiah) as King of Israel, Head of the Church, and Emperor of the World – King of Kings, Lord of Lords.
I repeat (for emphasis); just because the Old Covenant of the Law of Moses has been replaced by the New Covenant of the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha Mashiach), and that Christ (Messiah) was initially rejected by the majority of Israel, this does not mean that God had rejected the Nation of Israel permanently and arranged for the Church to inherit all the promises of blessings to Israel. It is amazing how many people believe in this heresy of Replacement Theology.
The factual reality of the Rebirth of the Nation of Israel is by the Hand of God. This thesis gives scriptural proof to support and confirm all my statements. May God bless you mightily as you read it with an open mind.

Forewords
John Heininger
In Romans Chapters 9 to 11, Rabbi Saul of Tarsus (the Apostle Paul) give us an insight into the mystery of Israel. He talks of the unique and eternal covenant relationship that God shares with the Jews. The Jews are seen as the instrument whereby God would redeem the nations. The rejection of Christ by Israel has brought light to the Gentiles, and the restoration of Israel to Christ will result in the consummation and fulfilment of history, and the resurrection of the dead.It will also mean the end of further Tribulation of Israel and mankind and the ushering in of the Messianic Age of peace, with Christ as the benevolent ruler of the earth and rightful King of Israel, reigning from the throne of David in Jerusalem.
Moshe Elijah, the author of this book, represents the first fruits of a growing tide of Jews, who are now rediscovering the rightful Messiah, Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha Mashiach).
His bold testimony will have ongoing repercussions that will one day restore Israel to her true Messiah.
The section on Law versus Grace in this book would encourage a Christian to become a disciplined believer in Christ.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I found it faith inspiring and an accurate interpretation of the Word of God. It is a true overview of God's plan for all his children.

Further comments:
"It is very good. It is very concise, accurate, and interprets the scriptures accurately. When I read it, I could not put it down, as it was interesting. ...It is faith inspiring. ...It...will inform and enlighten many Christians. ...I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. I recommend it to every Christian. ...A lot of Christians are unaware that God has made everlasting covenants with the Jewish race, and God will keep His Covenants. It is a true overview of God's plan for all His children. A must for every Christian to read."
Senior Pastor Gordon Gibbs
Pastor Gordon Gibbs, due to a busy schedule, had only time to review Part A - Law versus Grace, as he was called upon to minister interstate and internationally frequently. His comments were:"I appreciated your thesis. I was particularly impressed with your theological exposition with regards to the Law. It was one of the best I had seen."

Dr Allan T Fisher, Doctor of Divinity
As a gentile raised among Jews one begins to see a special difference about the way Jews relate to the world around them and the situations that confront them as a normal part of every day life.Perhaps this special way of dealing with life is the result of thought and behaviour passed down from one generation to the next, form the time of the Holocaust, or perhaps it has been passed down from the time of God's promise.
As you read this book you will see clearly, maybe for the first time, the special relationship that God has with the nation of Israel and the Jewish people.
You will see, as I did, that these promises are for you and you'll gain valuable insight into the inheritance that has been given to Israel and how you can claim what is rightfully yours. My prayer is that you will enjoy this book and be blessed by it.
Shalom

"...It is time that someone presented the truth about Israel and its rightful place in our lives as vital Christians. This book does exactly that. It clearly demonstrates through scripture...Israel is being restored...I wholeheartedly concur with the findings of the author as outlined in scripture..."

“Today many questions are being raised by believers, new and old, in Jesus Christ; that is, about Law versus Grace and the Israel of today. How does one regard this biblically?“The Author challenges you to read this book with your Bible as your reference.
“This is a book that today Christians should read to get a true and clear understanding of both subjects."

Further comments:
"This is a book that today Christians should read to get a true and clear understanding of both subjects ("Law versus Grace" and "Restoration of Israel"). ...The contents of this book will leave you thinking, and I suggest it be read and studied by every interested Christian, to make up their own minds."
