Romans 9:7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Galatians 3:29 “And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise”. Confirms that the criteria to be Abraham’s seed is receipt and retention of God’s Spirit rather than being the flesh descendents of Abraham, as also documented in previous posts and Romans 9:8 that follows.
Romans 9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
English “promise” in Romans 9:8 & 9 were both translated from Greek feminine noun 1860 epangelia defined in prior posts as the permanent endowment of God’s Spirit. Matthew 13:17 “For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them” documents God’s differentiation of Old and New Testament processes and we will invest as much time as is necessary to explain God’s differentiation. Hebrews 10:7 says “Then said I, Lo, I come in the volume of the book it is written of me, to do thy will, O God”. Various tenses of English “come” were translated from Greek verb 1525 eiserchomai meaning to come into, Greek verb 1330 dierchomai meaning to come through one place to another, Greek verb 1831 exerchomai meaning to come from another place of origin, Greek verb 2064 erchomai meaning to come or go in the past or present tense, Greek verb 2240 heko meaning to be present, Greek noun 3952 parousia being the future coming of Jesus Christ, from Greek verb 5562 choreo meaning to make room to receive and from Greek verb 5348 phthano meaning to come beforehand in the sense of achieving or attaining an objective before others. English “come” in Hebrews 10:7 “Then said I, Lo, I come in the volume of the book it is written of me, to do thy will, O God” was translated from Greek verb 2240 heko meaning to be present. English “volume” in Hebrews 10:7 was translated from Greek feminine noun 2777 kephalis being the knobs [little heads] at the ends of wooden rods to which animal skin parchments and papyrus writing materials were attached. Animal skin parchments were hand written upon in Hebrew and papyrus pages were hand written upon in Greek. Etymology of English “volume” is from Latin volumen meaning “scroll” from Latin volvere meaning “to roll”. The first fifty bibles containing both a new and Old Testament were commissioned by the Roman Emperor Constantine in 325 AD. Theologians who believe the New Testament was written in Latin subsequent to the Western Roman Empire speaking Latin are wrong because the first fifty bibles were created for people in the Eastern Roman Empire whose language was Greek. The printing press was introduced by Johannes Gutenberg in 1436 AD. The King James Bible was introduced in 1611 AD. God’s Spirit is present in Old Testament Hebrew and New Testament Greek transliterated words; not in English words. God makes that clear to “seven thousand” “election”. Greek noun 1589 ekloge which was translated into English “election” in Romans 11:4-7, 28 was translated into “chosen” in Acts 9:15 confirming that the apostle Paul is among God’s “seven thousand” “election”. Greek verb 1586 eklegomai [the verb form of Greek noun 1589 ekloge] was translated into English “chosen” in John 15:16 confirming that Jesus’ eleven disciples [following death of Judas Iscariot] are among God’s “seven thousand” “election”. Greek adjective 1588 eklektos was 7 times translated into English “chosen” and 16 times into “elect”. Greek adjective 1588 eklektos was translated into “chosen” in 1Peter 2:9 “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” confirming that God’s “election” “shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years”. God proved in prior posts that God’s New Testament promise is the permanent endowment of God’s Spirit unto only “seven thousand” “election”. I need to remind you that in the beginning of this post Jesus said to his disciples “That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them” because the flesh Old Testament/covenant/contract/law between God and the Israelites consisted of the angel of God directly delivering a short message to God’s “prophets” who reiterated God’s brief message to a handful of people within walking distance because God’s spirit was not available to the masses until ten days after the ascension of Jesus Christ. The spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/constitution/law between God and “seven thousand” “election” is predicate to Jesus’ Luke 12:51 words “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division”. The “division” consists of God leaving “seven thousand” “election” to himself and removing “the rest” from God’s process pursuant to God’s will which is concisely expressed in 1Timothy 2:3-4 “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour” “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” which will occur during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” which will take place between this earth age and the eternal age that follows. The world’s 4,351 religions cover and hide God’s spiritual truth. Since the beginning of this earth age death has segregated human beings into heaven and on earth. Millions of human beings died before God came to earth in the embodiment of Jesus Christ, so how will God our Savior “have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”? Simple as Ephesians 1:10 “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him”. Aforementioned “thousand years” “Lord’s day” will commence “in the dispensation of the fulness of times” of Ephesians 1:10. “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour” “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” which will occur during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” which will take place between this earth age and the eternal age that follows.
