The Christian congregation is "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation." (1 Peter 2:9) Replacing natural Israel as God's nation, it becomes new Israel that is "really Israel.' " (Romans 9:6-8; Matthew 21:43) For this reason, it was quite proper for Jesus' half brother James to address his pastoral letter "to the twelve tribes that are scattered about," that is to the worldwide congregation of anointed Christians that in time would number 144,000. - JAMES 1:1.
