Lots of words here. To simplify things, "Unregistered" means that they are going by the spirit of the Constitution as relayed by the words of the Constitution, rather than just the words, which might have ambiguous interpretations if the spirit of the Constitution were not attached.
Of course, when Abraham was righteous, it was because he believed God.
Over the years, there have been incorporated, through marriage and simple "adoption into the nation," many "races" into Israel. They became Israel, not because they joined the nation of Israel, but because they believed God as did their father, Abraham.
"Not all who are of Israel are Israel." It is those who are of the descendants of the promise, the descendants of Isaac, THE DESCENDANTS OF THE PROMISE, the descendants of the faith that Jesus is the Messiah.
So Israel is not really the Israel of God until they believe the promise fulfilled in Jesus. This may be something that God will bring to pass in our generation. But until He does, and until they believe in Jesus as the Messiah, they are not of the Israel of God... though because of His promise to Abraham, they seem to receive all kinds of blessings. If they will not accept Jesus as Savior and Messiah, they are accursed right along with all the rest of the heathen nations of the world. |
