ABOUT THE ISRAEL OF GOD The Israel of God is a Bible Study Class. Our purpose is to teach the Word of God according to the Prophets (Old Testament) and Apostles (New Testament). We observe the Lord’s Sabbath Day, the Lord’s Feast Days (as outlined in Leviticus 23rd chapter), and the Lord’s Dietary Law (as outlined in Leviticus 11th chapter). We teach and observe the Royal Law, which is the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20). We also believe in the resurrection and that Jesus is the King of Israel who will rule over the House of Jacob forever. We believe that Jesus is the God of all people and that his house “shall be a house of prayer for all people.” (Isaiah 56:7)
