The Foreigner God Speaks Of

Isa. 56:3-5 "Do not let the son of the foreigner
Who has joined himself to the Lord
Speak, saying,
'The Lord has utterly separated me
   from His people',
Nor let the eunuch say,
'Here I am, a dry tree.'
For thus says the Lord:
'To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths,
And choose what pleases me,
And hold fast My covenant,
Even to them I will give in My house
And within My walls a place and a
   name
Better than that of sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name
That shall not be cut off.' "
Israel insight
 		We are included in the Old Testament.
God is not throwing us away, or His treasure, Israel.
See (God's Treasure Is Israel)
Isa. 60:1-5




 		"Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the Lord is risen
   upon you.
For behold, the darkness shall cover the
   earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.
The Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your
   rising.
Lift up your eyes all around, and see:
They all gather together, they come to
   you;
Your sons shall come from afar,
And your daughters shall be nursed at
   your side.
Then you shall see and become radiant,
And your heart shall swell with joy;
Because the abundance of the sea shall
   be turned to you,
The wealth of the Gentiles shall come
   to you."
Isa. 60:10-11 "The sons of foreigners shall build up
   your walls,
And their kings shall minister to you;
For in My wrath I struck you,
But in My favor I have had mercy on
   you.
Therefore your gates shall be open
   continually;
They shall not be shut day or night,
That men may bring to you the wealth
   of the Gentiles,
And their kings in procession."
See (Israel Will Be Returned To Their Country)
BibleNote: When we visited Israel we were fulfilling prophecy.
Matt. 13:45-46

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it."

Matt. 15:21-28 "Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, 'Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon- possessed.' But He answered and said, 'I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.' Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, 'Lord, help me!' But He answered and said, 'It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs.' And she said, 'True, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.' Then Jesus answered and said to her, 'O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.' And her daughter was healed from that very hour."
Rev. 21:21 "And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass."
Israel insight
 		The little dogs represent the Gentiles, as well as the pearls, which were considered unclean, thus the Gentiles are to welcome Israel to the new Jerusalem - with love.

and Bless Abraham And Israel - Be Blessed Of God)
