Israelites of Blood and Spirit

Bloodline Israelites who are "born from the beginning" into the Malchut Elohim are they whom Jeremiah spoke of in regards to the New Covenant. The New Covenant was made with the house of Israel and Judah together, Mashiyach raised up his own people, then his people presented the Kingdom of Elohim to the rest of the world. These first generation followers of Y'shua held to the Way and entered into the New Covenant through believing upon Y'shua ben Yoseph and having Torah written upon their hearts. These who followed Y'shua were originally called those of the Way (derek in Hebrew). YHWH also said of Avraham, "For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the Derek (Way) of YHWH, to do justice and judgment; that YHWH may bring upon Avraham that which he has spoken of him." (Genesis 18:19)

Y'shua raised up talmidim (disciples) who were filled with the Ruach haKodesh and became sent ones or messengers Shlichim (Apostles), all the original followers of Y'shua were Jewish, they were both blood descendants and the spiritual line of Avraham. Many Levites and Priests accepted the Kingdom Offer that Y'shua made, the Kingdom Y'shua offered is a continuum of the Tree of Life that was planted in the Garden of Eden and was borne by Noach, Avraham, Moshe, David and then Mashiyach.

Yehudah

The original word for Jew is Yehudah which means Praiser of YHWH. YHWH chose Yehudah to carry the Scepter of Mashiyach's government. The physical and spiritual line of Yehuda brought Mashiyach through Ya'akov to Yitzchak to Avraham to Noah to Enoch to Adam all these men were spiritual Praisers of YHWH. It's only semantics to say that Ya'akov or Avraham weren't Jews because YHWH is very much employing genetics to secure His Promises for Jews and all others, He raises up a Set Apart people so the rest of the world will learn of Him and fear Him.

YHWH fulfills All His covenant promises to His people, even toward those who totally reject Him. Within Torah are blessings and curses that each one will experience according to their free choice to obey or disobey YHWH's Word. YHWH's people are in fact His Covenant. He created His people, chose His people and uses His people for His great Names sake and the rest of the nations are either learning to respect the Elohim of the Jews or they want to make war with YHWH and His people, so the Israel of Elohim has become the standard by which the rest of the world will be judged. Paul even says that YHWH blinded His people so that salvation could come to the Gentiles, but that He will open their eyes, indicating YHWH's Sovereign authority over everything in heaven and on earth, including His chosen people. Jews have free choice like everyone else and can obviously choose rebellion against YHWH, but the Renewed (New) Covenant makes every soul more accountable to YHWH, the Torah is magnified upon the heart, each soul is judged by the "spiritual priesthood" of Mashiyach. Mashiyach exemplifies the universal standard for all who would enter into the Malchut Elohim.
