I believe Israel will be saved. But it is conditional.

The first condition which must be fulfilled is: to turn from religion, occult and witchcraft to genuine faith.
Admitting Jesus as saviour.
And the second - very important one: I believe Israel will become the nation which admits wrong doings and crimes against many other nations and people.
And will ask forgiveness and will pay restitution as minimum 4 times in value in good case 7 according to biblical requirements. Or just will restore everything that was wronged or devastated.
Royal Love Law
Deuteronomium 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments (Exodus 20:1-22) that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
Exodus 13:14 “In days to come, when your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ say to him, ‘With a mighty hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 15 When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the LORD killed the firstborn of both people and animals in Egypt. This is why I sacrifice to the LORD the first male offspring of every womb and redeem each of my firstborn sons.’ 16 And it will be like a sign on your hand and a symbol on your forehead that the LORD brought us out of Egypt with His mighty hand.”
It is very nice! There are powerful instructions! The most interesting are Deuteronomium 6:8-9 and Exodus 13:16. These verses give advice on how to apply the Royal Law of Love. It is an amazing part of scripture, the most outstanding one. Written by the Holy Spirit. It gives an idea how to establish intime relation to the Highest authority the KING of KINGS and the LORD of LORDS the author of all creation and everything that is good.
This text is worth being understood as a spiritual one. Let's open ourselves to the supernatural experience and spiritual realm. The word sign or token gives us a very clear link and indication it is anything physical. The instructions of the LORD are always very specific and I really do miss the instructions which would say anything like this: make the black boxes, write the laws and put them inside the boxes, aad the ties to these boxes and finally tie them on your physical body?
Anything like this in this text. Even stronger, It is all about our spiritual body. Deuteronomium 6:4 verse speaks about heart and soul instead of physical body. A part of the physical heart we have a spiritual heart as well.
In this paticular case the bible talks about our spiritual body.
It is really a pity to see this boy.

Jeremiah 17:1 “Judah’s sin is engraved with an iron tool, inscribed with a flint point, on the tablets of their hearts and on the horns of their altars. The prophet definitely is speaking about the spiritual heat!
Hebrews 10:11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the Right Hand of God, 13 and since that time he waits for His enemies to be made His footstool.14 For by one sacrifice He has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. 15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says: 16 “This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them in their minds.” 17 Then he adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.” 18 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.
It is a powerful revelation made by Paul. It finally confirms and explains Deutronomium.6:8-9
Deuteronomium 6:8 And thou shalt bind [H7194] them for a sign [H226] upon thine hand, [H3027] and they shall be as frontlets [H2903] between thine eyes. [H5869] 9. And thou shalt write [H3789] them upon the posts [H4201] of thy house, [H1004] and on thy gates. [H8179]
Exodus 13:16 And it shall be for a token [H226] upon thine hand, [H3027] and for frontlets [H2903] between thine eyes: [H5869] for by strength [H2392] of hand [H3027] the LORD [H3068] brought us forth [H3318] out of Egypt. [H4714]
We can also read this scripture this way:
And thou shalt tie in love (spiritual love ties) them as a miracle working power, and they shall go around the fulness of the chest (a place there heart is) to be seen, visible 9. And thou shalt write (inscribe) them upon the posts of thy temple (personal body), and on thy gates (eyes, ears, mouth, mind).
These are the ancient gates, doors. From David's psalm 24 we understand that these are actually spiritual eyes, spiritual years, other supernatural spiritual senses up to 12 ones.
Psalm 24: 3 Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? 4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god. 5 They will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God their Saviour.6 Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, God of Jacob. 7 Lift up your heads, your gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.9 Lift up your heads, your gates; lift them up, your ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. 10 Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty — he is the King of glory.
Psalm 24 gives the clarification of these Deuteronomium 6:8-9 verses. After trading in Heavenly Courts, and getting vindication from Heavenly Judge on the Heavenly mountain. Psalm 24:3 and 5, after cleansing the heart from evil, wrong feelings, unforgiveness, juging, generational issues, after getting free from slavery of the sin (Egypt evil dead works and conscience), by the strength - the power of hand [H3027] the LORD [H3068] brought us forth [H3318] out of Egypt.
Exodus 13:14<...>the LORD killed the firstborn of both people and animals in Egypt. This is why I sacrifice to the LORD the first male offspring of every womb and redeem each of my firstborn sons.’
When we allow the Lord to kill the firstborns of Egypt (these are all the sinful fruits and works and especially done as the first ones in our life since the beginning of the sining). So after marking Yeshua blood on the door and allowing the dead spirit to pass away. And instead of doing sinful things, but giving all first for God. The first morning time, the first money, the first born, the firs efforts and work of the day all the first and the best to the LORD. Only this way we are opening ourselves - our hearts and souls for the King of Glory - so the ancient gates are lifting up! The spirit of Yeshua is entering. The King is standing near us and the spirit of the Holy Person is knocking at our heart door.
Rev. 3:19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
Eating is definitely meaning studing the word of God. The Holy word is a person which is standing near You, it is the spirit of Yeshua..
Rom.10:8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
It means a very simple thing: letting love spirit inside and building strong loving heart ties with the KING of KINGS. Allowing the heart, filling with love, working in love, thinking about others in love, and through love a redemption of the whole world.
Vers 8 starts with the word H2903 טופפה to go around or bind in love. It is about spiritual soul ties! It says as a sign אות H225, but it also means a mark or even more a miracle. Love is a miracle! Love of the LORD makes all the miracles beyond imagination! Love covers multitudes of sins. Love leads to salvation. The Hebrew word H3027 יד stands for hand but it is also for power. The power of Love and life is magnifucent. The LORD is almayty, the most powful, because He is the owner of all the love. Is there any single being who could resist the power of love! Everybody surrenders to Love. Love of the LORD makes powerful miracles! It changes the course of history. When love becomes visible it is possible to see it. Love also makes the eyes shine and the face is smile and this sign, mark or seal of the LORD appears on the forehead. Yeshua is love!
This condition signifies salvation from death and destruction. It is possible only through Yeshua.
Those whom God saves bear the divine mark of love! John 13:34 “A new command I (Yeshua) give you: Love one another. As I (Yeshua) have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Rev. 7:2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: 3 “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”
Love is a sign and a seal!
It is freedom from wrong instructions and self torture!

A right interpretation of scripture gives amazing freedom. These ties are not needed anymore . The Bible is a spiritual book. It is talking about the spiritual things and principles and laws, which affect our spiritual body. The bible does not speak about physical ties, and boxes, by the way anywhere is mentioned the black box (a set of gassos). And letter shin with couwn is sanding for human hart.

Luke 10:27 He answered, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.
Romans 13:8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.
James 2:8, If you really keep the Royal Law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbour as yourself,” you are doing right. <…> 12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the Law that gives Freedom, 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Gal.5:13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbour as yourself.” 15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. 16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
The Royal Law of love versus a law of revenge
New flag is also representing a new Royal law of grace and love. James 2:8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbour as yourself,” you are doing right.
From Amland notes is produced oil. Representation of Messiah. Dropping golden love. It is not an easy thing as hard as the shell of the note. But when we press through, God is dropping.
Gal.5:15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
Genesis 4:24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold. Paul is giving reference to the Leviticus 24:20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury.
This is the law of revenge at work. It only multiplies evil. There is nobody who is a winer nobody is happy. It leads to endless war. And finally every single person is angry, bitter, injured, toothless or blind. But God wants us to be happy, healthy and whole and this is a sign of Heavenly Kingdom on earth this is what is coming with coming of Yeshua: Matthew 11:7 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. 6 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”
The Royal Law of love versus a law of death
Exodus 21:29 If, however, the bull has had the habit of goring and the owner has been warned but has not kept it penned up and it kills a man or woman, the bull is to be stoned and its owner also is to be put to death.
This is the law of revenge and death is at work. It only adds to the damage and multiplies victims and a curse on earth.
Deuteronomy 22:23 If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her, 24 you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death—the young woman because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man’s wife. You must purge the evil from among you.
It is very much understandable the aim of this law - to get rid of evil. It is a spirit of furnication at work here which comes from man and by the power imposed on to the woman. To prevent this spirit passing to the following generations was required the death of the body. There was no other way to get rid of demonic spirits.
But after the atonement of Yeshua and shared His Holy Blood. After spreaded all over the power of the Holy Spirit. Instead of blaming anybody or putting guilt, it became possible to ask forgiveness for every single side every single person involved. While genuine repentance breaking the lies and being delivered from fornication or any other spirit being active in the whole bloodline in the name of Yeshua.
The guilt of women is very strangely interpreted. It is a lot of condemnation, it is the wrong attempt of looking for wrong imperfection in some other person especially in a woman. Yeshua brings forgiveness, instead of condamination, guilt and shame. With Yeshua we are free from wrong legislation and habit judging and acusing. Hardly possible that a virgin pledged to be married Deut.22:23 would intentionally put herself in the wrong situation and would be risking to die or be ashamed instead of being honourably married. It is impossible by imperfect laws of death made by man (under the spirit of adversary) to cover multitudes of cases in life. And that comes as continuation of this law is in contradiction to the main aim of the old covenant to get rid of evil. Deautronmy 22:25 But if out in the country a man happens to meet a young woman pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die. 26 Do nothing to the woman; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders a neighbour, 27 for the man who found the young woman out in the country, and though the betrothed woman screamed,there was no one to rescue her. 28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered,29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.
Marriage is not able to set free the body from furnication spirit. Marriage can not deliver from any evil spirit active in the body or through generations in the bloodline. In oposite these spirits, multiplies, are passed on to the following generations and their activities even increases with time. Even the blood of animals or humans unable to do that! The laws of death contradict the Godly Commandments Exodus 20:13 “You shall not murder. God is life, God is love. How can somebody possibly think that murder or killing is God's true law?
Discernment is a powerful thing!
The killing only brings more sin in this world. The blood calls for revenge out the earth, the curses and the heaviness are multiplying, finally the earth spits its people Gen.4:10.Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. 11Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, <...>2 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”
The only true solution is the Holy blood of Yeshua. Only Holy blood is able to cleanse us. Because it is the blood which came from Heaven. Yeshua had no biological father and by the help of placenta Yeshuas' blood was not mixed with the blood of Mary, also Yesua was born without causing bleeding or pain to Mary. Mary remained virgin after the deliverance of Yeshua. And Yeshuas' true parents are God is His Heavenly Father and Holy Spirit His Heavenly mother. He is a Heavenly child totally pure and clean. That is why only the blood of Heaven is able to purge the evil from among you (us).
Rom. 3:21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law (Commandments) and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
Biblically seen we are 5784 years of God's patience and more than 2000 years we have lived in an extreme time of grace. Somebody had a chance to use this grace maximum. Some other ones are missing the chance. But everyone is invited until Revelation 11:15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet <...> The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and your people who revere your name, both great and small—and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”
How do we orientate in time?
Acts 2:15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! 16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17 “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 20 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.21 And everyone who calls on the name (Yeshua) of the Lord will be saved.’
Hebrews 1:1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.
Having in mind the New Era of the Holy Spirit brings the end for the old law of sin, death, killing and revenge Genesis 4:24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold. Paul is talking about the law of death, revenge and sin. Were many laws all around the world which required killing. But with Jeshua it is supposed to be over.
The Law of Love versus a law of sin which acts within the body.
Royal law of love and grace established by Jesus and can be achieved only by the help of Holy Spirit Rom 8.
Rom.7: 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law. 23 But I see another law at work in me (old law) waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.
Jok.2:9 But if you show favouritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.
So we are called for the New Covenant with God. We are called to walk in love of Holiness.
Be holy because God is Holy!
The law of love is versus to customs
The law of circumcision is for everyone!
Deuteronomy 30:6 “Moreover the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live.
Thomas 53 His disciples said to Him (Jeshua): Is circumcision useful or not? He said to them: If it were useful, their father would beget him from their mothers (already) circumcised. But the true circumcision in the Spirit has proved useful in every way.
Jeremiah 4:4 “Circumcise yourselves to the LORD And remove the foreskins of your heart, Men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, Or else My wrath will go forth like fire And burn with none to quench it, Because of the evil of your deeds.”
John 7:22 Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision, though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs.
While reading the bible and observing the Israel nation. I have a feeling that this nation, even though being very close to the truth, imposed on herself many, not necessary burdens by man made scrupulous laws, which have no single sense at all, only distraction and misleading. But there is a huge power while understanding true laws.
For example physical, anatomical, astronautical, electronical, digital laws.
These always existed.
But the first flight shorted to sky when clever people understood and applied gravitation laws in combination with aviation laws. The digital and electronic laws always existed but it was the wisdom of those made available to make digital payments, video films, distant connections and many other things. It is the desire of God to understand the laws, which would help to live in creative freedom in preservation of our earth.
I would encourage you to apply ancient wisdom and biblical knowledge for innovations instead of unnecessary laws. In freedom and braveness.
And the most essential things become even stronger in our hearts.
The biggest trust on Jeshua’s teachings:
The Fulfilment of the Law
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practises and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Murder
21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgement.’ 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgement. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell. 23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift. 25 “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
Adultery
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
Divorce
31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Oaths
33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfil to the Lord the vows you have made.’ 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
Eye for Eye
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Aren't even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
