Are present-day Israeli people supposed to be super spiritual and moral?
No. The present-day Israeli government and the Jewish people should not be expected to be super spiritual or super moral; if anything, they are quite the opposite. They remain God's covenant people only by virtue of the covenant as yet, not because of superior spirituality or morality.
Les explains that people should not expect the present-day Israeli government or the Jewish people to be super spiritual or super moral, because if anything they are quite the opposite. They are still God's covenant people. God has His thumb on them, and He does not sanction much of what they are doing, yet they remain His covenant people. Les notes that people often wonder, if they are the people of God, why don't they behave like it? His answer is that they are the people of God only by virtue of the covenant as yet. Their standing is rooted in covenant, not in their current behavior.
