What About Those In Non-Christian Lands Who Have Never Heard The Gospel?

I said I can, but I want to know whether you are capable of 10? Points about the Jews at Pentecost.
You keep giving (IMHO) simplistic answers as: (a plan). I want you to flesh out your answers with scripture and jeremiah1five comments.
I am pro good guy Jewish persons. I am pro good guy gentiles. We are made into one new man. One through faith the other by faith. This is your opportunity to post.
We are not one yet.
The issue is ;

What About Those In Non-Christian Lands Who Have Never Heard The Gospel?​

An extremely good example are those righteous Jews that were from foreign lands (that appeared at Pentecost). Those are the ones that need 10 or so points about them. Not people Jesus met during his ministry.

The hearing of the gospel does not save. There were millions of Gentiles from Adam to Christ (including the Abrahamic and Mosaic Covenants) that never heard the Gospel of God which He had for His Covenant people that perished without salvation. Millions. There was a middle-wall partition. Gentiles as a people surrounded the children of Israel but the children of Israel journeyed as a whole population of people
But it says there were Gentiles like Rahab that converted to "Judaism." Now, I grant you that she did hear something which caused her to say the things God did for the Hebrews which caused fear of death or merely great concern over her welfare by which she hid the spies, but it was not the Gospel of God but what happened to those that challenged and fought against Israel. There were no preachers in Jericho telling these "Dogs" about God and their Promised Messiah. They were outside and ignorant of the Covenant of Moses and the writing of the Law with the finger of God on stone. No one that was from the tribes was visiting these lands that never heard the Gospel of God. No one. So, what happened to these people if this is a model? All these people did was come against the children of Israel out of pride in their own armies or in fear of their being wiped off the face of the planet (except Gibeon - Joshua 9:3.)

The people that "lived in foreign lands" and were present at Pentecost were of Hebrew heritage and lived in these foreign lands because of the exile and dispersal of the Hebrew people when they were conquered by Assyria and Babylon hundreds of years before. And not everyone returned when Cyrus gave permission for the people to return to their homeland (Israel.)
Take note that every 'foreign land' that is NOT Israel are non-Christian as well. There is only ONE Christian nation and that is Israel. Jesus is their Christ. And they expected Messiah before He came (they were Christian) and there were Christians after He came and went. And at least 3000 of them were of "Jewish" (Hebrew) when Pentecost was celebrated (Feast of Harvests) and were saved. But these knew and heard of the Gospel of God concerning His Son. Those 'foreign lands' that are NOT Israel and NOT Christian will suffer the same fate as those non "Jewish" lands and non-Christian lands that did not know or hear of the Gospel of God before God sent Joshua to eradicate them with extreme prejudice.
Who exactly will surround Israel right before Christ returns but those non-Christian lands who reject Israel's Messiah and Christ as King and savior?
But a remnant will be saved that are in those non-Christian lands because God has His people everywhere.
Even in North Korea and Iran, and Singapore, etc.

I throughly believe the gentile converts were at Pentecost because of the Jewish influence, and Gods plan. I mean 10? details and not a generic there was a plan.
eddif: There were Gentile converts but a very, very, small number.

There are details in Ezekiel and the other later prophets. I am trying hard to draw out the details from you. If you are pro Jewish,
eddif: If one is not pro-"Jewish" one cannot be pro-Christ for He comes from "Jewish" lineage. He is from the tribe of Judah.

Surely you can provide details.
Without Jewish history my belief is not very stable. Come on and start. Scriptures and your comments. The details if self evident you can list them.
eddif: I'll answer any question you pose to get to my understanding of this "so-great salvation."
 
The going up to Jerusalem was in the 400 years of silence and pre Jesus. The going to Jerusalem was how the gentiles who attacked Jerusalem became converted to be Jewish (Jews and converted Jews alike).
Still, a very, very, small number.
The Gospel (good news of Jesus) went to the
Nations after Pentecost.
It went to the nations because there were "Jews" living there. Jesus surely could not say "Go to Israel" from Israel and preach the gospel but He did send them back to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives. But sending them to Samaria (North) and Judaea (south) and Jerusalem (West), and the uttermost parts of the earth (East) were where the twelve tribes were scattered:

James, one of the apostles to the "Jews" says: "JAMES, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting."
You might should give me your definition of Gospel.
eddif
It merely means "good news."
And there is more than one "good news" in Scripture.
 
We are not told they are Jewish in the Bible . You guessing ?
No. The Times of the Gentiles are over, and God sends His two witnesses to herald to and against Israel AND the world Israel's Messiah and King. They herald their message from the Old Testament Scripture about Israel's Messiah.
The whole counsel of God in both Testaments are "Jewish." The whole of OT/NT Scripture is to and for Israel. It's a "Jewish" book.
Are you guessing ? Here is what we are told in the Book of Revelation .
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
The Olive Tree represents Israel.
Everything they say and do will have an Old Testament "Jewish" flavor stamped on it.
 
The people in foreign nations that had not heard the gospel, did hear of the God of Israel.

1. Jews that mourned over the sins of Israel
Were marked on their forehead and saved from death.
Ezekiel 9:1 kjv
1. He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
2. And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them wasclothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.

Bumped post by mistake I will continue.

The Jews were picked for being a stiff necked people:



Deuteronomy 9:6 Understand therefore, that the Lord thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.

Acts 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.



The book of God is zero to do with Jewishness, as God is a Spirit.

Jesus Christ was made according to the flesh of the seed of David.

All Jews and \Gentiles are proven to be under sin.

Christ died for all, as all were dead.

Now we know no man after the flesh, we once knew Christ after the flesh ( of the seed of David) now we know Him no more ( after the flesh, now the Spirit, which is not being Jewish.



Romans 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

Romans 3:1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

Romans 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

2 Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.



Revelations two witnesses, are not in Jerusalem and dead for three days and nights, without knowing this speaks of Jesus Christ. ( heavenly Jerusalem, and not the one that now is.)

Earthy Jerusalem along with Jews of the flesh, never were of Heaven, nor of the Spirit, that is why Jerusalem which is above is the mother of us all.

No man knows Jesus Christ by looking after the flesh, they only know Him in the Spirit, the two witnesses are not seen on earth, as this is all temporal, but what we do not see is eternal, as the two witnesses, it is witnessed are. ( called up to Heaven.)



Galatians 4:25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

Galatians 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.


Revelation 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

Revelation 11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

3. And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;
4. And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
5. And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
6. Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
7. And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
8. And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
9. Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
10. And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
11. And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.

Then Ezekiel goes into a vision. This vision lasts to chapter 11 verse 13. Really strange, but

Ezekiel 11:14 kjv
14. Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
15. Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD: unto us is this land given in possession.
16. Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.

Really strange the way the vision happen, but the ones who mourn over the sins of Israel are saved from death and scattered in foreign nations,
But they will return.

End of fact one.

Remembering all scripture speaks of Christ, the words to Israel in Isaiah show the same casting off of Israel, but a tenth return so the holy seed is the substance. ( the seed is Christ)

Ezekiel 11 continues exactly the same testimony, it is the new covenant of Christ writing HIs laws in our hearts. ( the sighing and crying for all the sins in Jerusalem was not by anyone, because all were doing no good, not one.)



Psalm 14:3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Psalm 53:3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.


Isaiah 6:9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
12 And the Lord have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.



Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
 
So what about those who have never heard ?

They did not hear about the love of God to die for them so they remain dead, they did not hear about the Spirit of truth, they remain of a dishonest spirit of man, they did not hear of what happened to Israel as an example to fear, the Lord, man and mortality/their own death, is feared instead, the meek inheriting the earth was not heard, exaltation is heard instead, never heard of the King meek and lowly on a donkey, but the Jews of Israel saw all of this, and still never believed right in front of them, so others far away, are much further away than them, from ever hearing also.
 
Actually I guess I should correct and make the list.

1. The people were grieved over the sins of Israel.
2. They were saved from death
3. They were scattered among the nations
4. They were given a sanctuary in the nation where they were scattered
5. They told their nation of the Jewish God
6. If the nation listened and went with them yearly to worship in Jerusalem, the foreign nation was blessed.
7. If the nation would not go with them to worship in Jerusalem they were cursed
8. When a nation saw the blessing and curses they became followers of the one true God
9. I suppose the men were circumcised and followed the law of Moses.
10. They (Jew and converted gentile) returned to Jerusalem and heard the Gospel at Pentecost and were saved. (They heard the Godpel in their own foreign language)
11. On returning to their Foreign nation they would carry the Godpel with them to the nations.
12. Paul would have help when he went to these nations
13. When the Gentile inclusion happened the Jewish Christians were on site to spread the Gospel in the nations.

The missionary journeys were started with a group of Jews sorry for the sins of Israel.

They first heard of a Jewish true God. Then they saw blessing and curses like the Jews had seen. The blessing and curses agreed with the law of Moses (on a physical level). Then the witnesses of the Messiah's life was revealed.

We carry the same message today:
All have sinned against the Father God
We have forgiveness through the Son Jesus
The Holy Spirit gives us power to to witness

The hearing of the gospel does not save. There were millions of Gentiles from Adam to Christ (including the Abrahamic and Mosaic Covenants) that never heard the Gospel of God which He had for His Covenant people that perished without salvation.
If those people of whom you spoke had the faith that Abraham had. They went to Abraham’s bosom at their death. In Abraham’s bosom they would have heard the Good News straight from the Messiah himself. If they believed they have the wedding garment and are awaiting the Resurrection as Christians.

Too bad they didn't and haven't.
Here is the answer to the OP question.
This is what happened to those non-Christian lands that never hear or heard the Gospel of God. But since there is a 99% chance those that died without Christ, in that 1%, we really don't know, and God can save them if their names are in the book of life.
God is following a book, not waiting around to see who'll accept Jesus or hear the gospel message to be saved. God saves merely on His Promise to save.
 
...and Gentiles were picked for being idol-worshipers. They had so many idols that they even had an UNKNOWN GOD erected so as not to exclude anyone.

The meek are picked oppoisite to the Jews stiff necked.


Is that why all 66 books of the OT/NT Scriptures is addressed to "Jews?"

A Jew either believes in Jesus Christ, the same as a Gentile, or they have nothing addressed to them.


A "Jew."

Christ died for His Bride His Church. His Church are Old Testament saints. Gentiles are grafted in.

Gentiles are fellow heirs, heirs through Christ, Jews have to be in Christ, or are in nothing.



Christ is still the Lion from the Tribe of Judah. Last I knew Judah is where we get the term "Jew."

Christ is also the Lamb of God, given as a sacrifice, which Israel/Jews sacrificed.

And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Rev 11:8.



That would be outside the city of Jerusalem.

The street of the city would be Jerusalem.


After the Times of the Gentiles are over God turns His full attention to Israel and sends two Hebrew prophets to Israel to herald Israel's Messiah to the Hebrew/"Jewish" people.

Blindness came to Israel, because Israel is no more special than anyone else, hence why they need to be grafted back in, as they have left.

The TWO witnesses are Christ, ( the faithful witness as told also in Rev) nobody else superceeds Him)



John 8:16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.


Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

God is following a book, not waiting around to see who'll accept Jesus or hear the gospel message to be saved. God saves merely on His Promise to save.
Names are in a book and can be blotted out.

That is the purpose of believing in the testimony to overcome even as Christ overcame, or you are trying to take the purpose of God away, which nobody is able to do at all, especially when they cant con fess the testimonies of the Lord, of how to be saved


Psalm 109:13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
 
The meek are picked oppoisite to the Jews stiff necked.
But after the Times of the Gentiles are completed on God's timetable, He turns His attention back to Israel and the two Jewish witnesses of Revelation evangelize God's people through the Old Testament and revival happens in Israel and they finally see their Messiah Jesus Christ.
A Jew either believes in Jesus Christ, the same as a Gentile, or they have nothing addressed to them.
A Jew will have better understanding of their Messiah because He is THEIR Messiah and they will see Him through the Scriptures unlike Gentiles who have Hellenized Christ and His mission.
Gentiles are fellow heirs, heirs through Christ, Jews have to be in Christ, or are in nothing.
Jews are the heirs. Gentile believers are fellow-heirs.
Christ is also the Lamb of God, given as a sacrifice, which Israel/Jews sacrificed.
Indeed.
The street of the city would be Jerusalem.
Blindness came to Israel, because Israel is no more special than anyone else, hence why they need to be grafted back in, as they have left.
Israel is the apple of God's eye. Gentiles are not. Israel is God's Chosen people. Gentiles are not in the same standing as Israel.
The TWO witnesses are Christ, ( the faithful witness as told also in Rev) nobody else superceeds Him)
The two witnesses are Jewish and will evangelize Israel like you've never seen evangelization before.
John 8:16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
Get ready. The party is about to begin.
 
Names are in a book and can be blotted out.
No, they cannot. There is no instance in Scripture of God blotting out a name. There are no mistakes with God. Everyone in that book will be saved. None are lost, not even Judas.
That is the purpose of believing in the testimony to overcome even as Christ overcame, or you are trying to take the purpose of God away, which nobody is able to do at all, especially when they cant con fess the testimonies of the Lord, of how to be saved

Psalm 109:13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Does it say blotted out from where?
Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Get ready. The party is about to begin.
