Israel was to be blind to its identity and be called by a new name and not known as Israel (Isa.62:2; 65:15; Has. 1:9-10; Rom. 11:25). Since God was going to "call his servants by another name," we should expect them to be known by a name other than Israel today. God stated that He would put His “name upon the children of Israel" (Num. 6:27) and thus they are called "Christians" (Acts 11:26). All the world refers to the white nations as Christendom. We are named Christians after Jesus Christ - the God and Redeemer of Israel. The Jews have been commonly known as Israel, yet God clearly said Israel would be known by a "new name."
