Israel aren't all saints yet ...A Chapter by stranger-n-lifeand perhaps not even half the 144,000 of Rev7:3-8 are Jews...
God never set sinners to teach men , Even St Paul sent to teach sinners [not saints] was a saint, not any longer a sinner , although as he says he was the worst of sinners , actually slaughtering many of the Hebrew saints in his time as a sinner... God warned Israel that they really would regret requiring a man as king over them in place of Him ... when the kingship of the House of Israel ended they ceased to be a people at all , joined other nations , worshipping their pagan gods... but the Jews instead, having lost their last king before Jesus takes over chose to be led by the rabbis ... that was not a good move either from the point of view of getting any closer to God , power just corrupted the rabbis and they made all manner of laws from themselves , whole books full of laws about almost everything , but missing the law of love out ... not that much of their law is not loving, just that it is not the complete law of love of God [nor could be because it is in words, not spirit) and is not even all loving to God [as His commandment to them] , rabbis having changed things for Jews which God has said were set by Him for all time, even the very sign that He is their God , even to choosing a man to lead them in place of Him... So they leave out all the criticism of the rabbis by the prophets in teaching in the synagogues... it is seriously unsurprising really ... So how do they ignore Jer 31:31-34 ? - I find it 'astonishing' that God makes a new covenant with them alone and they ignore it and still try to make the old one work [with omissions because they have no temple, no high priest !] which God says failed them and has rejected them for breaking ... there is a time for coming to see it , seemingly soon, when the remnant of the House of Israel emerges and some Jews see what it is saying about their still-awaited messiah, because it fits not only what they do read in Torah and the Prophets, but also what they refuse to acknowledge of the Prophets... Ecc 3:1 ¶ To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: ... 17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. © 2010 stranger-n-life |
