The Jews and The Holy Land (Christian Zionism

 

Romans 2:28 For he is not a Jew, who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

Tertullian of Carthage

AD 220

The flesh; and "the Jew which is one inwardly "will 

be a subject of the self-same God as he also is who 

is "a Jew outwardly; ". On exactly the same 

principle, they consider the special soil of Judaea to 

be that very holy land, which ought rather to be 

interpreted of the Lord's flesh, which, in all those 

who put on Christ, is thenceforward the holy land; 

holy indeed by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, 

truly flowing with milk and honey by the sweetness 

of His assurance, truly Judaean by reason of the 

friendship of God. For "he is not a Jew which is one 

outwardly, but he who is one inwardly."
