"
lost sheep of the tribe of Israel"
All or most OT physical events were foreshadows of the Spirit to come, partially shown by Jesus.
The Lost Sheep.
Gal 16:15,16 -For in ChristJesusneithercircumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.
And as many as walkaccording to this rule, peace andmercy be upon them, and upon the Israelof God. (Spiritual).
Rom 2:29- Buthe is a Jewwho is one inwardly;and circumcision is of the heart, by the Spirit,not by the letter; and his praise is not from people, but from God.
Phil 2:11 -14 - Therefore remember that you,once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands
that at that time you werewithout Christ, being aliens from the citizenship ofIsraeland strangers from the covenants ofpromise, having no hope and withoutGod in the world.
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off (Lost sheep) have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one (Jew and Gentile = allIsrael), and has broken down themiddle wall of separation,
Rom 11:25,26 - For I do not desire, brethren, that you should beignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion (DBT's lol), that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.= (the full numbers of the Spiritual Israel isreached = all people that will come to Christ)
And so all Israel (SpiritualIsrael, Jews & Gentiles, now one olive tree) will be saved,as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion,And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
Written -> Isa 45:17 -Israel shall be saved by Yehowah With aneverlasting salvation; You shall not be ashamed or disgraced Forever andever.
Isa 45:25- In Yehowah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
Rom 11:17 - And if some of the branches were brokenoff, and you, being a wild olive tree, (Gentiles)were grafted in among them (Jews), and with thembecame a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,
Gal 3:29 -And if you areChrist’s, then you are Abraham’sseed,and heirs according to the promise.
Summary -> Some of the original Israelpeople are here and the Spiritual Israel people, who were once deemed asGentiles, now combine to be God's Israel, the Spiritual, as that is thetimes we are in after Jesus.
Hence, the ALL Israel that is saved, is ALL those of Jesus'speople, some Jews and some Gentiles make, the new Spiritual Israel.
Therefore, thefulfilling of the Gentiles means, the fulfilling of the entire Spiritual Israelnumbers.
Gal 4:26 - But Jerusalem which is above is free,which is the mother of us all.Heb 12:22 -But ye are come unto mount Sion, andunto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to aninnumerable company of angels,
