Bible Study The Arrogant Church (The Jew first and the Gentile)

[Douglas Summers]

The absence of the recognition of Israel and it's relation to the Church is arrogant to say the least. It is as if the self righteous church has kicked Israel (the Jew) to the side and claimed Christ unto themselves. The notion is that because Christ was rejected as their Messiah and Son of David, that Christ formed the Church instead or in it's place and rejected the Jew.....Scripture teaches no such thing, this is the teaching of the enemies of Christ.
First of all, Salvation comes through or from the Jew, Christ said that (John 4:22). While the Church began at Pentecost, it was predestined before the creation of the world (Eph. 1:3-12) and it was only the Jew who received the Gospel and formed the Church with 120 Jews (Acts 1:15; 2:1-21). Soon afterwards 3000 Jews were added to the Church (Acts 2:41-47). Then in Acts 4:4, Christ added another 5000 Jews to the Church. The Apostles always preached in the temples or Synagogues. (Act 3:1; 4:1). Notice, Peter is speaking to Israel, not the Gentile (Acts 2:22; 3:12). Even Saul, after his conversion, though he was a minister to the Gentile (Acts 9:15)....Always gave the Gospel to the Jew First (Acts 9:20; 11:19-20; 13:5; 14:1; 17:1; 17:16-17; 18:4; 18:18-19; 19:8). The Gentile was not added to the Church till Chapter 10 of Acts (Cornelius). The fact that Israel was not rejected, but that the kingdom was just delayed is proof of Acts 15:1-18 and even so it is discussed in Romans Chapter 11.
Early in the Church history, starting with the Church at Rome, the Jews have been persecuted and even now, hardly noticed by the Church. The Mystery was not of the Calling out of the Church itself, but that the Gentile was included with sonship ALONG with the Jew to become part of the commonwealth of Israel (Eph. 2:8-22). God will judge those who have forsaken Israel. In 1948 there were no Christian Jews in Israel, The population of Israel as of 2017 is about 7 million. There are 30,000 born again believing Jews at that time. But they received the Gospel by other Messianic Jews.
Every new Born again believer should support missions (first) of the command of Jesus in Acts 1:8. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the Salvation of Israel.

Amen very good post.
The Jews are still the chosen race. God never changes. Why would Jesus be setting up His kingdom from Jerusalem if it were not so.
The gentiles will be there too. If the Jewish people are over the gentiles what does that matter? I just want to be there.

The Jews are still the chosen race.

Tessa,
It should not be important but as sad as it is, the Race Matter is ignorant, unwarranted, unfounded, and viciously applied by Satan, even inside the Church of our LORD.

All of Mankind, Man, is twice of a single pair of parents. Our Heavenly Father created one Male ad then, from his body, He created one Female, a Help Mate to the Man He created from the dirt of the Earth, one family. From that, single, pairing was the Human Race derived and from none else about 4,000bc and then at somewhere about 2,500bc, with the world wide Noadic Flood eight persons were Miraculously Saved.

Noah, with his wife, their three sons and three wives repopulated the Earth, reestablishing the Human Race through Noah and his misses. Skin color, facial configuration, body types, athletic ability or the lack thereof, all due to adaptation when our LORD, YHWH dispersed our ancestors about 2300bc and confused our Languages. There is onlky one race on the Earth and regardless of skin tone of body and facial adaptation, we are all of us, brother and sisters.

Hi Tessa, It is not so much that the Jew or Israel will be over the Gentile, It is that the nations (the redeemed) will bring their Glory To Jerusalem to worship God. (Rev. 21:24-27) The Church will dwell in the new Jerusalem as Priest and king as sons of God and brothers of Christ by the Spirit of Holiness. (Rev. 21:1-6). Christ could come for His Church anytime. Too few are looking for Him.
