You have to think about it from a Jews perspective. They are taught all their life to believe they are ROYAL and above all others. So think about it. If you grew up under this type of teaching, accepting the savior would mean you are no longer a king among men, you are equal with your brothers. Not gonna lie, if i was raised jewish, this would be an extremely hard pill to swallow. And I think Jesus knew this, and outlined it in the Bible. So, we should have compassion for them, and be gentle in trying to give them the Gospel. ANY of us would have a difficult time with this!

When Paul said in Rom 9:6 that not all Israel is Israel, he meant that not all Jews are part of the "remnant" that gets into the Kingdom first (those who believe in Jesus while they´re still alive, therefore they never die). Jews who do not believe in Jesus before they die _will_ get into the Kingdom, but they will be among the last who enter. They are those who believe in Jesus even when they´re dead and will live again. This is what Paul meant when he said that "if the first part of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch" in Rom 11:16. The rich man in Hades is still a child of God, for Abraham calls him "son"! (Luke 16:25) Romans 11:26 doesn´t say "the bulk of Israel will be saved" nor "most of Israel will be saved." It says *_"all_* Israel will be saved." There´s no way around it. Of course, salvation is only through faith in Jesus, therefore all Jews will believe in Jesus. Jeremiah 31:33,34 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the Lord. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all *know me*, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the Lord. “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.” [Emphasis mine] John 17:3 “Now this is eternal life: that they *know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ*, whom you have sent.” Psalm 130:7,8 “Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins.” Isaiah 45:17 “But Israel will be saved by the Lord with an *everlasting salvation;* you will never be put to shame or disgraced, to ages everlasting.” Isaiah 45:25 “But *all the descendants of Israel will find deliverance in the LORD* and will make their boast in him.” Hosea 13:14 “I will deliver this people from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death.” Scripture is clear. All Jews will be saved from sin and death through faith in Jesus.

Have you read Deuteronomy?? Read the curses. Then, read the parable of the tenants.

@ViolinistJeff7 ай бұрын
@@lukusmaximus The curses in Deuteronomy speak absolutely nothing of eternal, postmortem suffering. They are finite, earthly punishments dealt out to the people of Israel in Old Testament times for continuously breaking God´s law. The "wretched end" mentioned in Mt 21:41 is death which is the wages of sin including rejecting Jesus. It can´t be eternal though because of all the verses mentioned in my previous comment. Since every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord, no one will ever reject Jesus eternally, even if they do so for their entire earthly life. God gets this universal worship because all people will learn to trust in Jesus and learn of his goodness. Jesus always forgives and restores. God is not partial because I know this goes for everyone, not just Jews. Titus 2:11 in the original Greek: "For the grace of God has been revealed, saving all people." It is not by any merit of the flesh but rather because Jesus brings _all_ people to faith in him.

Some have even claimed the error that they are under a different covenant with God, based on who their parents would be. The "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53, and the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34, and the timeline of Daniel 9, prove Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah promised in the Hebrew scriptures.

Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Gal 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. Gal 3:18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. Gal 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Gal 3:20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. Gal 3:21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. Gal 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. Gal 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Gal 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. Gal 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. .

If you don't know the difference between Judah and Israel, your guesses at the interpretation of prophecy are misled. Look at Genesis 49... 26The blessings of your father are mighty beyond the blessings of my parents, up to the bounties of the everlasting hills.i May they be on the head of Joseph, and on the brow of him who was set apart from his brothers. Here, Jacob reminds us that he got one blessing from Isaac and another blessing from the Angel that he wrestled...the one who gave him the name Israel. "May they" - may the two blessings- be upon the head of Joseph and the crown of the head of him was separated from his brethren. In Genesis 38, we find out who the person was that was separated from his brethren... 1It happened at that time that Judah went down from his brothers and turned aside to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. So one blessing went on the head of Judah to establish the house of Judah. On the other hand, Genesis 48 tells us that the blessing from the Angel and the name of Israel went to Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. So, though Judah was of Jacob/ Israel, he was NOT Israel. Jacob gave the birthright to Ephraim and Manasseh rather than to Reuben. Ephraim was made the head of the 12 tribe nation of Israel while Judah was made a one tribe nation. Jeremiah 3 and Hosea ch's 1 & 2 tall us how the destinies of the 2 houses changed. The Lord divorced srael but not Judah. The Lord remained married to Judah until she forced Pilate to kill the Lord. Pilate convicted Jesus for being "King of the Jews". Thus, the house of Judah was left desolate. In Christ's resurrection, He betrothes divorced Israel to Himself. See 2 Corinthians 11 and Romans 7:1-4 to see who populates that Israel.

Many others have quoted great verses. Quite a lineup of them in comments. I'll add this to the list: (Emmanuel speaking here) But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? *Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.* And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Still Jesus is the only way, He has the power to raise them from the dead, all. Because they are the people who carried the promise. I know in my heart this is true, yet i am heathen i got no part in their favor. 😁 But all ye heathens, do not take the power of salvation lightly, for u are the branches of the desert.

But when the veil is uncovered they will see Him, and all Israel will be saved, but that day wont come until the fullness of the gentiles.

Today's saved Jews will not be grafted in at some time in the future. As believers they are already a part of the Body and grafted in the place of those who were broken off. Paul in Romans 11 is speaking of those who were broken off as being grafted in again at the end time. The Church, the body of Christ, the saved, which includes believing Jews, have never been broken off and cannot be re-grafted in because they would first have to lose their salvation and then be "engrafted" back in their old position. This formulation is unbiblical from an exegetical and systematic viewpoint. Paul speaks of Israel as any honest appraisal of Romans 11 asserts. When Christ comes, the sheep will look up and be saved. Why wouldn't they? "Oh, it's too late for them!" It's never too late for God. The Tribulation will be a saving time. Read the whole book and you realize that hordes of people are saved during the Judgment Cycle of God, the Day of the Lord. But if we have to cram people into categories and draw bright lines as to who can be saved and when they can be saved we fall into contradictions. God is always up for saving people.
