Caleb - Esau's Descendant Received an Inheritance with Israel!


I was reading in the Book of Joshua today about Caleb. Caleb and Joshua were the only two of the adults of the people who came out of Egypt to be allowed to enter the Promised Land. They were the only two who stood up for the Truth of The LORD and said "Let's go in and take this land that the LORD has promised to give us."

As I was reading in Joshua I noticed once again that Caleb was a descendant of Esau! He was not on the lineage of Jacob. But he received an inheritance in the land along with Israel. A gentile was blessed along with Israel because of HIS faith in the LORD. He recieved the blessing promised in Exodus 19 and Deuteronomy 28.

Regardless of ethnicity those who trust in Yahweh, believing and obeying HIS Torah, are in HIS kingdom - HIS family. The Body of Messiah is/has been made up of believers from every ethnic heritage. Revelation tells us that those who stand before HIM are of every tribe, tongue, and nation.

We cannot disregard anyone based on their ethnic heritage. We all have a part to play in HIS kingdom, if we choose to hear HIS Voice and follow HIM according to what HE has established in HIS written Torah.

Israel is HIS chosen and named people. But HE said clearly that HE has sheep from another sheep pen. HE has broken down the middle wall of separation and we who were afar off, along with those who were near, have been made one new man in Yeshua HaMaschiach! We have an inheritance in HIM, from HIM, and not in any man, people group or through any man made system. It is by grace through faith in the LIVING TORAH, Yeshua HaMaschiach, who is the Torah made flesh who dwelt among us and now dwells in those who have surrendered to HIS Lordship.
