The woman is also Israel. The Church will be grafted back into Israel.

It is written.







The only part of the Church that will be grafted back into Israel
is that part which came from Israel, Christian Israelites.

The wild olive branch is grafted back... but notice...
it may be wild... but it is still an olive branch.

Olive is a symbol for Israel.


The tribes of Israel have been scattered to the four winds
since the Assyrian empire scattered them into the "cities of
the Medes" around 750BC.

Then Babylon uprooted most of Israel that remained in Palestine
around 600BC.

At the time of Christ most of Israel... most of the twelve
tribes lived outside of Palestine [James 1:1] That is why
Jesus spoke of the other sheep [sheep is another symbol
for Israel] he had and the jews knew these other sheep
were living among the gentiles [gentiles means nations.]

Much of those who had been scattered among the gentiles
the past 700 years had lost their identity and were lost
among the gentiles. Those were God's sheep the disciples
were to search out and bring the good news of the coming
of Israel's Messiah... thus Israelites became Christians
just as Jesus said... " My sheep hear My voice... and
they follow Me."
