Israel

Is Israel a nation or a person? We will examine this question by looking at the teaching of Justin Martyr Russell Moore and Larry Harper. Justin was born around 110 A.D. and thus he was within a generation of the death of the last apostle John. So Justin was probably taught by Polycarp who was a disciple of John. Russell Moore approaches this subject from a Christocentric vantage point. Larry Harper comes to the same conclusion as Justin and Mr. Moore from a linguistic/idiomatic perspective. But all three conclude that Jesus (Yahushua) is Israel.
