Already listened on TFL app at 12. Just saying hello and praying you all are well. God bless! 🙏😊🙏 Psalm 16 English Standard Version You Will Not Abandon My Soul A Miktam of David. 16 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge. 2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.” 3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.[b] 4 The sorrows of those who run after[c] another god shall multiply; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips. 5 The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. 6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. 7 I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.[d] 8 I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being[e] rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. 10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption.[f] 11 You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

So sad that the priests of Israel never quite understood the prophecy Jacob spoke over his son's specifically what he said to Judah about the savior of all mankind, in a sense ,were in his descendants. Even if the Jewish people followed just the Torah they would have to have seen how God's plan was to unfold. Oh the bible is the Word, who became flesh and dwelt among us praise God for his Love for he is love ❤️🔥✝️🌊💪🏼‼️🤟

Sad? All part of God's providence. Romans 11:25-32 New International Version All Israel Will Be Saved 25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, 26 and in this way[a] all Israel will be saved. As it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. 27 And this is[b] my covenant with them when I take away their sins.”[c] 28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, 29 for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable. 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now[d] receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you. 32 For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all. 🙏😊🙏

Hi Mike McCormick question ❓ are you saying regardless of wether or not an Israelite comes to belief in the saving grace of Jesus Christ they will be saved❓ my understanding is that anyone who doesn't believe in what Christ accomplished on the Cross for all mankind they will not inherit eternal life in heaven with Jesus. Isn't that how it works . If not how is that just that an entire people group are saved just because God chose to use them to be a light to the world which frankly they fell short of quite often. Yes God is love and full of Grace but Jesus specially said no one comes to the Father except through me thus implying one must believe in him who the Father has sent, thank you Jesus ‼️✝️

@@donnylastella9441 Hello Donny La Stella. I'm not saying anything. The bible is. Hence the heading in Romans 11. ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED When the fullness of the Gentiles is accomplished then the hardness of Jacob will be removed. They WILL come to faith in Christ during the tribulation when the two witnesses will evangelize them. Who are you O' man to question the justness of God? They've fallen short many times??? Look in the mirror we've ALL fallen short many times. Yes Jesus said no one comes to the Father but through Me. What He also said was in John 6:44 John 6:44 Authorized (King James) Version 44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 3:1-8 Authorized (King James) Version 3 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Faith along with regeneration (born again) are both monergystic. God does the choosing not us. Once regenerated it becomes synergistic. Romans 9 and 11 specifically are Paul addressing the Jewish nation. Zechariah 12:10 Authorized (King James) Version 10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn Matthew 23:39 Authorized (King James) Version 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Romans 11:12 Authorized (King James) Version 12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
