Q: Where in Eph 2:11-22 mention two hopes rather it is trying to make one group by removing the wall Eph 2: 14?
Response:
I want to attempt to prove, that the first prophecy in the bible is very important:
(Genesis 3:15) . . .And I shall put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He will bruise you in the head and you will bruise him in the heel.”
Why? Because God’s will in Eden (Earth) has not changed, and will be performed by that “seed” in earth as in heaven, as Jesus will recover both realms.
I do this because many have lost sight of the original objective, distracted by heaven.
This led to also the first covenant in the bible, the Abrahamic Covenant. That is to be fulfilled upon “nations OF THE EARTH” Gen22, and “families OF THE GROUND”, earthly goals.
1. So what we have is not just Jews and Gentiles, which do also picture heaven and earth classes, but earth real recovery, by the “seed” of Heaven, Jesus.
2. Both groups have become symbolic of many nations.
Abraham
(Luke 3:8)..And do not start saying within yourselves, ‘As a father we have Abraham.’ For I say to YOU that God has power to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
Abraham’s flesh is not required for God to raise children of Abraham as needed by faith, NOT flesh and blood, yet some were flesh and blood it is true, but it is NOT a limitation God observes, he has no limitation in regard to fallen flesh.
(Romans 9:6-7)..For NOT ALL who spring from Israel are REALLY “Israel.” 7 NEITHER because they are Abraham’s seed are they all children..
(Galatians 3:7-9)..Surely YOU know that those who adhere to FAITH are the ones who are sons of Abraham. 8 Now the Scripture, seeing in advance that God would declare people of the nations righteous due to faith, declared the good news beforehand to Abraham, namely: “By means of you ALL the nations will be blessed.” 9 Consequently those who adhere to faith are being blessed TOGETHER with faithful Abraham.
(Galatians 3:14)..The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham might come to be by means of Jesus Christ for the nations, that we might receive the PROMISED spirit through our faith.
(Galatians 3:29) ..Moreover, if YOU belong to Christ, YOU are really Abraham’s seed, heirs with reference to a PROMISE.
And finally proving that sons of Abraham are provided by faith as well as natural lineage, but NOT limited to it, we have the illustration of the “many nations”, some by law (lineage/Jew), others by faith the undeserved kindness, the promise, (open adoption):
(Romans 4:13-17)..For it was not through law that Abraham or his seed had the promise that he should be heir of a world, BUT it was through the righteousness by faith.
14 For IF those who adhere to law are heirs, faith has been made useless and the promise has been abolished..On this account it was as a result of faith, that it might be according to undeserved kindness, in order for the promise to be sure to ALL his seed, NOT ONLY to that which adheres to the Law, but also to that which adheres to the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all,
17 just as it is written: “I have appointed you a father of MANY NATIONS.”
Again, the “Israel of God” are NOT limited by the pattern of Abraham’s flesh, for God himself has that pattern perfected in Jesus, that is why these ALL, whether Jew or Gentile, must become the “New Creation”, the “Israel of God”, perfected by faith AND the promise. Therefore, the 144000 “little flock” contain “many nations”, the seed of Abraham by promise and literal miracle.
(Galatians 6:15-16)..For neither is circumcision anything nor is uncircumcision, but a new creation is something. 16 ..even upon the Israel of God.
God’s children by promise have no human limitation of flesh, it’s a true miracle, earth recovered by heaven.
By this the earthly oath AND promise of Gen3:15 and to Abraham AND THE NATIONS OF EARTH will be kept, from heaven.
