Give none offense, neither to the JEWS, nor to the GENTILES, nor to the CHURCH OF EL 1Cor.10:31.
Who are the JEWS (Israel)? El’s earthly chosen people based on the promise Gen.12:1-3, and the covenant of the promise Gen.17:4-13 Yahweh made to Abraham according to “His story”: HISTORY Ex.6:5-8. And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. And Yahweh said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs (Egypt), and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; and also that nation (Egypt), whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance Ex.3:21,22, 11:2,3, 12:35,36 Ps.105:37. And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. But in the fourth generation, they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. On the same day, the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
FULFILLMENT OF THE PROMISE: And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Yahweh, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn. For they are an holy people unto Yahweh their Elohim Who hath chosen them to be a special people unto Himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. Yahweh did not set His love upon them, nor choose them, because they were more in number than any people; for they were the fewest of all people: But because Yahweh loved them, and because He would keep the oath which He had sworn unto their fathers, hath Yahweh brought them out with a mighty hand, and redeemed them out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt Duet.7:6,7. Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:
Thus saith Yahweh that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen Is.44:1,2. Hear this word that Yahweh hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against THE “WHOLE FAMILY” which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, YOU ONLY HAVE I KNOWN OF ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH Num.23:9,10: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. The audience is of no doubt Israel, the family that Yahweh started with Abraham Is.51:2, 63:16, through Isaac Gen.17:19, and Jacob according to His foreknowledge and purpose; He renamed Jacob to Israel Gen.32:28.
Destination? 1,000yrs earthly Messianic kingdom. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: and He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Matt.19:28-30, 25:32-34.
The Messiah Crucified: To the Jews was a stumbling block.1Cor.1:23. A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed Is.28:16; 1Pet.2:8
Tendency: Require signs and wonders 1Cor.1:22. From the call of Moses Ex.4:1-9 to the commissioning of the apostles Matt.10:1,8. Yahweh was dealing with His earthly people with signs and wonders. And the Yahweh said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them Acts.4:29,30,33, 5:12.
The Message: “Repent” Matt.3:22; Acts.2:38, 3:19. Israel, as a nation, had rejected the counsel of El against themselves, being not baptized by John’s baptism; and above all rejected Yahshua as the Messiah: “we” will not have this man rule over us; “we” have no king but Ceasa; and with wicked hand Crucified Him Acts.3:22,23; Lk.7:29,30, 19:14; Jn.19:15. So, Israel must have a change of mind of these two offenses. They must submit to go into the water and acknowledge Yahshua as the Messiah according to the Spirit of holiness by His resurrection from the dead. If His earthly miracles did not convince them, Jn.10:24,25, 15:22-24; His resurrection should have been sufficient evidence Matt.27:63-66.
Baptism: Water Jn.1:30-34. It was through water baptism that the Messiah identified Himself with Israel, and introduced to Israel; therefore, water baptism is obedience to the fulfillment of their righteousness in entering the kingdom as if they are entering the temple, for they are to be a nation of priests: the priests of Yahweh Is.61:6.
Their Hope: “Thy Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven” For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see El: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. Paul confessed unto Felix the governor, that after the way which Israel call heresy, so worship him the Elohim of his fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: and have hope toward El, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offense toward God, and toward men. AND NOW I STAND AND AM JUDGED FOR THE HOPE OF THE PROMISE MADE OF EL UNTO OUR FATHERS: UNTO WHICH PROMISE OUR TWELVE TRIBES, INSTANTLY SERVING EL DAY AND NIGHT, HOPE TO TO COME. FOR WHICH HOPE’S SAKE, KING AGRIPPA, I AM ACCUSED OF THE JEWS Roms.2:16; 2Tim.2:8. WHY SHOULD IT BE THOUGHT A THING INCREDIBLE WITH YOU THAT EL SHOULD RAISE THE Dead? Dan.2:44,45, 7:13,14; Matt.6:10, 9:35, 25:34, 27:62-66; Phil.3:10,11. And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Master, and of his Messiah; and he shall reign for ever and ever Rev.11:15.
B). The Little Flock Or Spiritual Israel: These are those Jews who submitted themselves to John’s baptism and believed that Yahshua was the Messiah according to the Scripture Deut.18:15-19; Lk.7:29,30. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of El, EVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE ON HIS NAME: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of El. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found Him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Yahshua of Nazareth, the son of Yoseph. Yahshua saith unto the Jews, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is Yah’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of El shall be taken from you (unbelieving Israel), and given to the new nation (believing Israel) bringing forth the fruits thereof. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Yahshua told Nicodemus, verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of El. And 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.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. He promised His disciples, that they which have followed Him, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, they also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. MANY THAT ARE FIRST SHALL BE LAST; AND THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST. This is now the game changer, the birth of a new nation from the old by faith in His name and His resurrection. Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children. That is, they, which are the children of the flesh, are not the children of El: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: for He will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Master make upon the earth. And as Esaias said before, Except the Master of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha. Shalom. To Be Continued.
