House of Israel was to receive God’s Spirit when they came to their own land.

 “I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it,” says the Lord.’” Ezekiel 37:14

The Spirit of God was working within the Jewish people when they felt excited, hopeful, and revived upon hearing about the establishment of the State of Irael in 1948. They believed that they would live again, as spoken by the word of God. God motivated them, led them by His Spirit to migrate to their newly formed Jewish state. They had no question that God spoke it, and it happened.

Unfortunately, the Jewish people have never been able to transition from the Old Testament promises to the New Testament promises made through Jesus Christ. By rejecting Christ Jesus, they oppress the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is the guarantee of the inheritance of eternal life, “...the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession…” Ephesians 1:14 Believers are the purchased possession, purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed on the Cross. We belong to Him; we are His possession, and He will redeem us with a new eternal body.

For us who believe in Jesus Christ, God puts His Spirit in us, this is the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead. In His Spirit, He will bring us to the promised land of the eternal New Jerusalem, “But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.“ Romans 8:11

God has created us to be the Temple of the Holy Spirit, by the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:2

We trust in Jesus Christ after believing His Gospel and we are sealed with the Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of possessing the promised land of the New Jerusalem, “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance…” Ephesians 1:13-14

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
