The coming of Jesus Christ into the world was a new beginning for Israel. We can go so far as to say that He brought forth a new Israel. A new Israel was born. This new Israel began in Jerusalem and was made up primarily of Jews. This new Israel was, of course, the New Testament Church. This new Israel had a new King who was Jesus Christ. In fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, this New Israel would consist not only of Jews but would bring in the Gentiles. So, both Jews and Gentiles would make up this new people of God. A new David had come just like the Old Testament prophets said He would. James in recognizing that it was God's will for the Gentiles to come into the church quoted from the prophets to show that this was so. The Greater David has now come. Today, Jesus continues to build His new tabernacle, the Christian Church and He invites all to come into it both Jew and Gentile. There is only one people of God, those who follow the new David - Jesus Christ.
