YAHSHUA DECLARED HE IS THE DOOR THROUGH WHOM ENTRANCE INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS GAINED. Therefore, the seal of permanency of citizenship in the restored Kingdom upon the earth is through the acceptance of Him as Saviour. Peter stated this truth emphatically:
“There is no salvation through anyone else, for there is no one else in the world who has been named to men as our only means of being saved.” (Acts 4:12, Smith & Goodspeed Translation)
There are those who by virtue of birth, have a right of citizenship in the Kingdom but who will forfeit their citizenship if they fail to conform with the requirements which will secure its confirmation in the day of restoration. Yahshua was referring to the attainment of citizenship by those who had no acquired it by birth and the loss of citizenship in His Kingdom by those who by birth had right to it when He said:
“Many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 8:11-12)
Thus, those within the Kingdom, in order to remain, and those without, in order to enter, must have their right to citizenship established through Yahshua. This is what Paul meant when he said:
“For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.” (Romans 11:32)
It is through Yahshua that God will have mercy upon His Israel people, for He is the Redeemer of Israel.
