Love Israel

Calling people to repent of the satanic, demonic religious spirit that irrationally and insanely compulses and enslaves people to make excuses to evilly speak against national Israel.

The Glory of being a Hebrew

2Co_11:21 To our shame, I say that we were too weak for that! But in whatever anyone is bold (I speak foolishly) I am bold also.

2Co_11:21 κατὰ ἀτιμίαν λέγω, ὡς ὅτι ἡμεῖς ἠσθενήσαμεν. ἐν ᾧ δ᾿ ἄν τις τολμᾷ, ἐν ἀφροσύνῃ λέγω, τολμῶ κἀγώ·

2Co_11:21 κατα ατιμιαν λεγω ως οτι ημεις Aησθενηκαμεν TSBησθενησαμεν εν ω δ αν τις τολμα εν αφροσυνη λεγω τολμω καγω

2Co_11:22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I.

2Co_11:22 ῾Εβραῖοί εἰσι; κἀγώ· ᾿Ισραηλῖταί εἰσι; κἀγώ· σπέρμα ᾿Αβραάμ εἰσι; κἀγώ·

2Co_11:22 εβραιοι εισιν καγω ισραηλιται εισιν καγω σπερμα αβρααμ εισιν καγω

2Co_11:23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am even more: in labors far more, in beatings immeasurably, in imprisonments far more, in deaths often.

2Co_11:23 διάκονοι Χριστοῦ εἰσι; παραφρονῶν λαλῶ, ὑπὲρ ἐγώ· ἐν κόποις περισσοτέρως, ἐν πληγαῖς ὑπερβαλλόντως, ἐν φυλακαῖς περισσοτέρως, ἐν θανάτοις πολλάκις.

2Co_11:23 διακονοι χριστου εισιν παραφρονων λαλω υπερ εγω εν κοποις περισσοτερως εν TSBπληγαις TSBυπερβαλλοντως TSBεν φυλακαις περισσοτερως Aεν Aπληγαις Aυπερβαλλοντως εν θανατοις πολλακις

2Co_11:22 NKJV Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I.

Notice the flesh boasts in being a Hebrew, and yet Paul also has this advantage, but considers it a circumstantial benefit to lose as a sacrifice for Anointed One

Php_3:5 – Hebrew of Hebrews

Php_3:5 NKJV Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee.

Php_3:4 CAB although I also am having confidence in the flesh. If any other person thinks to have confidence in the flesh, I even more:

Php_3:4 καίπερ ἐγὼ ἔχων πεποίθησιν καὶ ἐν σαρκί. εἴ τις δοκεῖ ἄλλος πεποιθέναι ἐν σαρκί, ἐγὼ μᾶλλον·

Php_3:4 καιπερ εγω εχων πεποιθησιν και εν σαρκι ει τις δοκει αλλος πεποιθεναι εν σαρκι εγω μαλλον

Php_3:5 circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; with respect to the law, a Pharisee;

Php_3:5 περιτομῇ ὀκταήμερος, ἐκ γένους ᾿Ισραήλ, φυλῆς Βενιαμίν, ῾Εβραῖος ἐξ ῾Εβραίων, κατὰ νόμον Φαρισαῖος,

Php_3:5 περιτομη οκταημερος εκ γενους ισραηλ φυλης βενιαμιν εβραιος εξ εβραιων κατα νομον φαρισαιος

Php_3:6 with respect to zeal, persecuting the church; with respect to righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

Php_3:6 κατὰ ζῆλον διώκων τὴν ἐκκλησίαν, κατὰ δικαιοσύνην τὴν ἐν νόμῳ γενόμενος ἄμεμπτος.

Php_3:6 κατα Aζηλος TSBζηλον διωκων την εκκλησιαν κατα δικαιοσυνην την εν νομω γενομενος αμεμπτος

Php_3:7 But such things as were gain to me, these I have considered loss for the sake of Christ.

Php_3:7 ἀλλ᾿ ἅτινα ἦν μοι κέρδη, ταῦτα ἥγημαι διὰ τὸν Χριστὸν ζημίαν·

Php_3:7 Aαλλα TSBαλλ ατινα ην μοι κερδη ταυτα ηγημαι δια τον χριστον ζημιαν

Php_3:8 More than that I also consider all things to be loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have sustained the loss of all things, and I consider them to be rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

Php_3:8 ἀλλὰ μενοῦνγε καὶ ἡγοῦμαι πάντα ζημίαν εἶναι διὰ τὸ ὑπερέχον τῆς γνώσεως Χριστοῦ ᾿Ιησοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου μου, δι᾿ ὃν τὰ πάντα ἐζημιώθην, καὶ ἡγοῦμαι σκύβαλα εἶναι ἵνα Χριστὸν κερδήσω

Php_3:8 αλλα Bμεν Bουν TSAμενουνγε και ηγουμαι παντα ζημιαν ειναι δια το υπερεχον της γνωσεως χριστου ιησου του κυριου μου δι ον τα παντα εζημιωθην και ηγουμαι σκυβαλα TSBειναι ινα χριστον κερδησω

Php_3:9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

Php_3:9 καὶ εὑρεθῶ ἐν αὐτῷ μὴ ἔχων ἐμὴν δικαιοσύνην τὴν ἐκ νόμου, ἀλλὰ τὴν διὰ πίστεως Χριστοῦ, τὴν ἐκ Θεοῦ δικαιοσύνην ἐπὶ τῇ πίστει,

Php_3:9 και ευρεθω εν αυτω μη εχων εμην δικαιοσυνην την εκ νομου αλλα την δια πιστεως χριστου την εκ θεου δικαιοσυνην επι τη πιστει

Php_3:10 so as to know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

Php_3:10 τοῦ γνῶναι αὐτὸν καὶ τὴν δύναμιν τῆς ἀναστάσεως αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν κοινωνίαν τῶν παθημάτων αὐτοῦ, συμμορφούμενος τῷ θανάτῳ αὐτοῦ,

Php_3:10 του γνωναι αυτον και την δυναμιν της αναστασεως αυτου και Aτην TSBτην κοινωνιαν Aτων TSBτων παθηματων αυτου Aσυμμορφιζομενος TSBσυμμορφουμενος τω θανατω αυτου

Php_3:11 if in some way I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Php_3:11 εἴ πως καταντήσω εἰς τὴν ἐξανάστασιν τῶν νεκρῶν.

Php_3:11 ει πως καταντησω εις την εξαναστασιν Aτην Aεκ TSBτων νεκρων

Paul’s heritage and identity:

Act_22:3 NKJV I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel…

Rom_11:1 NKJV I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

..

Abram/Abraham = a root of “Hebrew” identity:

Gen_14:13 NKJV Then one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew…

Supporting passages for the broader theme of covenant identity:

Deu_7:6 NKJV For you are a holy people to the LORD your God…

Isa_51:2 NKJV Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you…

Why could being a “Hebrew of Hebrews” be a potential boast?

* Eber in Gen_10 – 11: Gen_10:21; Gen_10:24-25; Gen_11:14-17; [Num_24:24]; 1Ch_1:18-19

Gen_10:21 NKJV And children were born also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.

Gen_10:24 NKJV Arphaxad begot Salah, and Salah begot Eber.

Gen_10:25 NKJV To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.

Gen_11:14 NKJV Salah lived thirty years, and begot Eber.

Gen_11:15 NKJV After he begot Eber, Salah lived four hundred and three years…

Gen_11:16 NKJV Eber lived thirty-four years, and begot Peleg.

Gen_11:17 NKJV After he begot Peleg, Eber lived four hundred and thirty years…

Supporting / related passages:

Num_24:24 NKJV But ships shall come from the coasts of Cyprus, and they shall afflict Asshur and afflict Eber…

1Ch_1:18 NKJV Arphaxad begot Shelah, and Shelah begot Eber.

1Ch_1:19 NKJV To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg…

>>Scrip: Hebrew!!!

Eber (ʿēḇer) = root:

·“beyond”

·“across”

·“on the other side”

The term “Hebrew” is derived from:

Eber (ancestor),

the root “to cross over,”

Eber ≈ Truth

Eber represents preserving Divine revelation by holiness.

Eber-ites, or Hebrews, preserve the knowledge of the genealogies which tie the mission of God through the redemption of man seed from Eve, to produce salvation against the seed of the serpent, and obsess over information technology in preserving this core sacred history that justifies God and inspired knowledge of how The Creator has used each of these seasons of different seed productions to speak his word and Truth of redemption to various generations.

The Point: Eber = “the one from across,” and Abraham becomes one who crosses over the same way/direction…

Abram the Hebrew

>>Scrip: ES Hebrew!!!

Jos_24:2 NKJV And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the LORD God of Israel: ‘Your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, dwelt on the other side of the River in old times; and they served other gods.’”

Jos_24:3 NKJV Then I took your father Abraham from the other side of the River, led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his descendants and gave him Isaac.

Nehemiah Reaffirms:

Neh_9:7 NKJV You are the LORD God, who chose Abram, and brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans, and gave him the name Abraham.

Gen_15:7 NKJV Then He said to him, “I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it.”

Gen_14:13 NKJV Then one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew…

Abram the Hebrew = the defining historical act of Abraham crossing the Euphrates to follow God’s call to separate, holy monotheism!

Joseph the Hebrew

Gen_39:14, 17; Gen_41:12 -- Joseph

Israelites Called to this same holiness:

Jos_24:2-3 -- "other side"

David and his band of Hebrews

>>Scrip: ES

1Sa_14:20-21 -- Hebrews joined fighting with the Israelites

Gen_15:18 NKJV On the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates.”

Deu_11:24 NKJV Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours… to the River Euphrates.

This reinforces that the Euphrates is the dividing river, the very river Abraham crossed.

Isa_7:20 NKJV …in the place beyond the River…

Zep_3:10 NKJV From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia My worshipers…

Zec_9:10 NKJV …and His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

Cost!

·Holy Hebrew = Separation from company of the Judged world (Gen_11)

All Nations Blessed Through Israel

Gen_18:18 CAB But Abraham shall become a great and populous nation, and in him shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.

Gen_22:18 CAB And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.

Gen_26:4 CAB And I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven; and I will give to your seed all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in your seed.

Gen_28:14 CAB And your seed shall be as the sand of the earth; and it shall spread abroad to the sea, and the south, and the north, and to the east; and in you and in your seed shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.

Act_3:25 CAB You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And in your offspring all the families of the earth shall be blessed.'

Blessed Bless-ers of Israel

Whoever Blesses You I will Bless

Gen_12:3 CAB And I will bless those that bless you, and curse those that curse you, and in you shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.

Gen_27:29 CAB …accursed is he that curses you, and blessed is he that blesses you.

Num_24:9 CAB He lies down, he rests as a lion; and as a young lion, who shall rouse him? Those that bless you are blessed, and those that curse you are cursed.

Remember:

Eze_25:8-9 CAB Thus says the Lord; Because Moab has said, Behold, are not the houses of Israel and Judah like all the other nations? 9 Therefore, behold, I will weaken the shoulder of Moab from his frontier cities, even the choice land, the house of Beth Jeshimoth above the fountain of the city, by the seaside.

Jesus responded to this as a Good testimony:

Luk_7:5 - He deserves your help because he loves our nation

Saving Favor = Believing God’s Promises!

This is the Life of Favor – to Believe on the Promises of God!

As Jesus ascended into the heavens, He left the disciples with the great future hope of their entire nation being made alive by the good announcement and favor from the hand of God and the Truth of Jesus. If Jesus left us with such great promise and sure hope for the Jews, let us also partake of this favor and light from God and live by hope for our own souls, and for those souls of the nation of Israel. Let us believe in the hope which our forerunners suffered persecution for:

Act_28:20 CAB …because of the hope of Israel I am wearing this chain…

Land Promises

Jos_23:4 WEB Behold, I have allotted to you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea toward the going down of the sun.

Jos_23:4 See, that I have given to you these nations that are left to you by lots to your tribes, all the nations beginning at the Jordan; and some I have destroyed; and the boundaries shall be at the Great Sea westward.

Jos_23:4 ἴδετε ὅτι ἐπέρριφα ὑμῖν τὰ ἔθνη τὰ καταλελειμμένα ὑμῖν ταῦτα ἐν τοῖς κλήροις εἰς τὰς φυλὰς ὑμῶν· ἀπὸ τοῦ Ιορδάνου πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ἃ ἐξωλέθρευσα, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς μεγάλης ὁριεῖ ἐπὶ δυσμὰς ἡλίου.

There is a Superior Profit in Being Jewish

Let us Consider the Many Countless (Physical) Benefits of being Jewish.

We see from these many passages that there is a physical “superiority” in being Jewish (i.e. “circumcision,” etc.). What follows are just some of the physical “superiorities” that ought to teach us as parables about how to be holy and spiritually separated from the world today:

NC = Covenant with ISRAEL

>>Scrip: ES OT

Heb_8:10 CAB For this is the covenant which I shall covenant with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind, and I shall inscribe them upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

>>Scrip:

Jer_31:31

Remember: Don’t Boast against the branches!

See: Romans 11: All Israel Saved

Jews First

Seed Prioritized

Heb_2:16 CAB For indeed He does not ·take hold [upon] [ἐπιλαμβάνεται – fig. give aid ^NKJV] of angels, but He does take hold [ἐπιλαμβάνεται] of the seed [σπέρματος] of Abraham.

Heb_2:16 οὐ γὰρ δήπου ἀγγέλων ἐπιλαμβάνεται, ἀλλὰ σπέρματος ᾿Αβραὰμ ἐπιλαμβάνεται.

√ GNT-V

Heb_2:16 NKJV For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham.

Conditions/Costs:

· Let God grab you & help you [ἐπιλαμβάνεται]

· Faithful to Abraham (to be his seed)

The Jews Still Come First -- Even Today!

Rom_1:16 CAB For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes, both to the Jew first and to the Greek.

Rom_2:9-10 CAB …tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that works evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek; 10 but glory, honor, and peace to everyone that works good, both to the Jew first and to the Greek.

Zec_12:7-10 KJV The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first…

[more quoted later]

Summary Of Jews First -- Throughout the Bible

Mat_10:6 – Sent to Israel (first; comp. Mat_28:18-20; Mar_16:15-18)

Mat_15:24 – To lost sheep of Israel

Luk_24:47 – Repentance begins at Jerusalem

Act_1:8 – Witnesses start in Jerusalem (then Judea, Samaria, and to the end of the earth) [ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς]

Act_3:25 – Abraham’s seed blessed

Act_3:25-26 – Jesus sent to Israel first -- for Repentance

Act_13:46 – Word spoken to Jews first (then Gentiles)

Act_17:1-5 – Paul reasoned with Jews, Greeks persuaded (Act_17:1: synagogue of the Jews; Act_17:4: “some…persuaded [ἐπείσθησαν]…devout Greeks, a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women” - CAB)

Act_18:4 – Persuaded Jews and Greeks (in that order)

Rom_1:16 – Gospel to Jew first

Rom_2:9 – Tribulation to sinning Jew first [κατεργαζομένου τὸ κακόν]

Rom_2:10 – Glory, honor, peace to Jew first [δόξα δὲ καὶ τιμὴ καὶ εἰρήνη] (then the Greek)

Rom_9:4-5 – Israel’s Adoption, Glory, Covenants, law-giving, worship, promises, the fathers, and Anointed One

Joh_4:22 – Salvation is of the Jews

Gen_22:18; Act_3:25 – All nations blessed in Abraham’s seed

Gal_3:16 – Seed is Anointed One

Gal_3:26-29 – Baptized Believers = Abraham’s seed (Gentiles finally Included & Prioritized)

Conditions/Costs:

· Listen (to witnesses: Act_1:8. Comp. Obedient-Listening: Gen_22:18; Deu_6; Deu_30, etc.), Believe Good Message (Rom_1:16; Gal_3:26-29; etc.), Respond, Repent (Luk_24:47; Act_3:25-26)

· Get “found” (Mat_15:24); Get Saved (Joh_4:22)

· Become a believing baptized disciple (Gal_3:26-29)

The Point: Stop boasting your Ab’s Seed and/or “saved” and start being an obediently-listening, repentant, no-sinning, believing Biblically baptized disciple!

This brings us straight to Act_3:25…

>> where???

Circumcision Superiority

Rom_2:25 CAB For indeed circumcision profits [ὠφελεῖ – Rom_2:25 = Rom_3:1] if you keep [πράσσῃς] the law; but if you are [being (ᾖς ^V-PAS-2S)] a transgressor [παραβάτης] of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision [ἡ περιτομή σου ἀκροβυστία γέγονεν].

>> Sync: herein

Rom_3:1-2 CAB What then is the superiority [περισσὸν^G4053 (perisson) – i.e. overflowing-all-around] of the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? 2 Much in every way! First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

See: Circumcision is Special

This is very consistent with so many OT promises…

Above All Peoples

Deu_10:14 WEB Behold, to Yahweh your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is therein.

Deu_10:14 LB Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens belong to the Lord your God, the earth and all things that are in it.

Deu_10:14 ἰδοὺ κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ἡ γῆ καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἐστὶν ἐν αὐτῇ·

Deu_10:15 WEB Only Yahweh had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day.

Deu_10:15 Only the Lord chose your fathers, to love them, and He chose out their descendants after them, even you, beyond all nations, as it is this day.

Deu_10:15 πλὴν τοὺς πατέρας ὑμῶν προείλατο κύριος ἀγαπᾶν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐξελέξατο τὸ σπέρμα αὐτῶν μετ᾿ αὐτοὺς ὑμᾶς παρὰ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη κατὰ τὴν ἡμέραν ταύτην.

Deu_10:16 WEB Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.

Deu_10:16 Therefore you shall circumcise the hardness of your heart, and you shall not stiffen your neck.

Deu_10:16 καὶ περιτεμεῖσθε τὴν σκληροκαρδίαν ὑμῶν καὶ τὸν τράχηλον ὑμῶν οὐ σκληρυνεῖτε ἔτι.

>> Sync: herein

Deu_10:17 WEB For Yahweh your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn't regard persons, nor takes reward.

Deu_10:17 For the Lord your God, He is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great and mighty; the awesome God, who is no respector of persons, nor will He by any means accept a bribe;

Deu_10:17 ὁ γὰρ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν, οὗτος θεὸς τῶν θεῶν καὶ κύριος τῶν κυρίων, ὁ θεὸς ὁ μέγας καὶ ἰσχυρὸς καὶ ὁ φοβερός, ὅστις οὐ θαυμάζει πρόσωπον οὐδ᾿ οὐ μὴ λάβῃ δῶρον,

Holy Nation & Royal Priesthood

Separated from All People

Royal Priesthood; Holy Nation

Exo_19:6 CAB And you shall be to Me a royal priesthood and a holy nation. These words shall you speak to the children of Israel.

Holy, Chosen, Acquired, from All

Deu_14:2 CAB For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord your God has chosen you to be a peculiar [“purchased” or “possessed”] people to Himself of all the nations on the face of the earth.

Separated from All

Lev_20:24 CAB and I said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you for a possession, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God, who has separated you from all people.

Holy & Separated from All

Lev_20:26 CAB And you shall be holy to Me; because I the Lord your God am holy, who separated you from all nations, to be Mine.

Beyond All

Deu_7:6 CAB For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; and the Lord your God chose you to be to Him a peculiar people beyond all nations that are upon the face of the earth.

Above All

Deu_26:19 CAB and that you should be above all nations, as He has made you renowned, and a boast, and glorious, that you should be a holy people to the Lord your God, as He has spoken.

Note

· How did God Make them “Holy,” and “separate”?

· It was not in their heart (yet), but in their flesh (see especially: Romans, Galatians, and Hebrews)

· It is the New Covenant that necessarily purifies the heart (see: Matthew 5-7)

Take it to Heart

We should take these physical benefits (superiorities) to heart as those from the nations, especially because these things are recognized and shown their proper place in the New Covenant throughout the Letters of the Apostles when they wrote to the nations (non-Jews). If the apostles recognized these physical benefits of the Jews before the non-Jews, so should we today in all of our churches:

Rom_9:3; Act_22:3, Act_26:4; 2Co_11:22; Phi_3:5

Gal_2:15 Jews by nature (good) vs. sinners of Gentiles

Add: Rom 11 - Love Israel: a foolish people/ not a nation – being non-jewish has its disadvantages (compare Rom_3:4)

Jer_16:19 WEB Yahweh, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, to you shall the nations come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, even vanity and things in which there is no profit.

Jer_16:19 CAB O Lord, You are my strength and my help, and my refuge in days of evil. To You the Gentiles shall come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, How worthless were the idols which our fathers procured for themselves, and there is no help in them.

Jer_16:19 κύριε ἰσχύς μου καὶ βοήθειά μου καὶ καταφυγή μου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κακῶν, πρὸς σὲ ἔθνη ἥξουσιν ἀπ᾿ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐροῦσιν Ὡς ψευδῆ ἐκτήσαντο οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν εἴδωλα, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτοῖς ὠφέλημα.

Eph_2: Unsaved Pagan Atheists

Unsaved (Eph_2:8-10), Uncircumcised (Eph_2:11), Hopeless Atheist Strangers, separated far away from God (Eph_2:12-13)

Comp. Gentiles = Inferior & Atheists or Abraham?

ES: One in Christ

Eph_2:10 CAB For we are His handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Eph_2:10 αὐτοῦ γάρ ἐσμεν ποίημα, κτισθέντες ἐν Χριστῷ ᾿Ιησοῦ ἐπὶ ἔργοις ἀγαθοῖς, οἷς προητοίμασεν ὁ Θεὸς ἵνα ἐν αὐτοῖς περιπατήσωμεν.

Eph_2:10 αυτου γαρ εσμεν ποιημα κτισθεντες εν χριστω ιησου επι εργοις αγαθοις οις προητοιμασεν ο θεος ινα εν αυτοις περιπατησωμεν

Eph_2:11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh--who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made by hands in the flesh--

Eph_2:11 Διὸ μνημονεύετε ὅτι ὑμεῖς ποτὲ τὰ ἔθνη ἐν σαρκί, οἱ λεγόμενοι ἀκροβυστία ὑπὸ τῆς λεγομένης περιτομῆς ἐν σαρκὶ χειροποιήτου,

Eph_2:11 διο μνημονευετε οτι TSBυμεις ποτε Aυμεις τα εθνη εν σαρκι οι λεγομενοι ακροβυστια υπο της λεγομενης περιτομης εν σαρκι χειροποιητου

Eph_2:12 that ·at that time you were [ἦτε ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ] apart [χωρὶς] from Christ, being estranged from the commonwealth of Israel [πηλλοτριωμένοι τῆς πολιτείας τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ] and strangers to the covenants of promise [ξένοι τῶν διαθηκῶν τῆς ἐπαγγελίας], not having hope [ἐλπίδα μὴ ἔχοντες] and atheists in the world [ἄθεοι ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ].

Eph_2:12 ὅτι ἦτε ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ χωρὶς Χριστοῦ, ἀπηλλοτριωμένοι τῆς πολιτείας τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ξένοι τῶν διαθηκῶν τῆς ἐπαγγελίας, ἐλπίδα μὴ ἔχοντες καὶ ἄθεοι ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ.

Eph_2:12 οτι ητε TSBεν τω καιρω εκεινω χωρις χριστου απηλλοτριωμενοι της πολιτειας του ισραηλ και ξενοι των διαθηκων της επαγγελιας ελπιδα μη εχοντες και αθεοι εν τω κοσμω

Eph_2:13 But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far away [ὄντες μακρὰν] have come to be near by the blood of Christ.

Eph_2:13 νυνὶ δὲ ἐν Χριστῷ ᾿Ιησοῦ ὑμεῖς οἵ ποτε ὄντες μακρὰν ἐγγὺς ἐγενήθητε ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ Χριστοῦ.

Eph_2:13 νυνι δε εν χριστω ιησου υμεις οι ποτε οντες μακραν TSBεγγυς εγενηθητε Aεγγυς εν τω αιματι του χριστου

Eph_2:14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and who destroyed the dividing wall of separation,

Eph_2:14 αὐτὸς γάρ ἐστιν ἡ εἰρήνη ἡμῶν, ὁ ποιήσας τὰ ἀμφότερα ἕν καὶ τὸ μεσότοιχον τοῦ φραγμοῦ λύσας, τὴν ἔχθραν, ἐν τῇ σαρκὶ αὐτοῦ

Eph_2:14 αυτος γαρ εστιν η ειρηνη ημων ο ποιησας τα αμφοτερα εν και το μεσοτοιχον του φραγμου λυσας

Eph_2:15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that He might create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace,

Eph_2:15 τὸν νόμον τῶν ἐντολῶν ἐν δόγμασι καταργήσας, ἵνα τοὺς δύο κτίσῃ ἐν ἑαυτῷ εἰς ἕνα καινὸν ἄνθρωπον ποιῶν εἰρήνην,

Eph_2:15 την εχθραν εν τη σαρκι αυτου τον νομον των εντολων εν δογμασιν καταργησας ινα τους δυο κτιση εν Aαυτω TSBεαυτω εις ενα καινον ανθρωπον ποιων ειρηνην

“Other Sheep”

Joh_10:16 And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; those also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

Joh_10:16 καὶ ἄλλα πρόβατα ἔχω, ἃ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τῆς αὐλῆς ταύτης· κἀκεῖνά με δεῖ ἀγαγεῖν, καὶ τῆς φωνῆς μου ἀκούσουσι, καὶ γενήσονται μία ποίμνη, εἷς ποιμήν.

Joh_10:16 και αλλα προβατα εχω α ουκ εστιν εκ της αυλης ταυτης κακεινα TSBμε δει Aμε αγαγειν και της φωνης μου ακουσουσιν και Aγενησονται TSBγενησεται μια ποιμνη εις ποιμην

A Foolish Nation

Deu_32:21 WEB They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God. They have provoked me to anger with their vanities. I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people. I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

Deu_32:21 LB They have provoked Me to jealousy by that which is not God, they have exasperated Me with their idols; and I will provoke them to jealousy with them that are not a nation, I will anger them with a nation void of understanding.

Deu_32:21 αὐτοὶ παρεζήλωσάν με ἐπ᾿ οὐ θεῷ, παρώργισάν με ἐν τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν· κἀγὼ παραζηλώσω αὐτοὺς ἐπ᾿ οὐκ ἔθνει, ἐπ᾿ ἔθνει ἀσυνέτῳ παροργιῶ αὐτούς.

God is not in the business of praising Western Culture, but of EASTERN Truth!

Isa_41:2 WEB Who has raised up one from the east? Whom called him to his foot in righteousness? He hands over nations to him, and makes him rule over kings. He gives them like the dust to his sword, like the driven stubble to his bow.

Isa_41:2 CAB Who raised up righteousness from the east, and called it to His feet, so that it should go? Who shall appoint it as an adversary of Gentiles, and shall dismay kings, and bury their swords in the earth, and cast forth their bows and arrows as sticks?

Isa_41:2 Greek τίς ἐξήγειρεν ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν δικαιοσύνην, ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὴν κατὰ πόδας αὐτοῦ, καὶ πορεύσεται; δώσει ἐναντίον ἐθνῶν καὶ βασιλεῖς ἐκστήσει καὶ δώσει εἰς γῆν τὰς μαχαίρας αὐτῶν καὶ ὡς φρύγανα ἐξωσμένα τὰ τόξα αὐτῶν·

If a gentile gets into God’s covenant it is through Israel, not their own independent guidance spirits

Imitate Israel

1Th_4:3-5 CAB For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from fornication, 4 that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles [that is, the non-Jews] who do not know God,

1Th_2:14 CAB For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus...

[also compare and contrast the rest of this verse]

Other passages about morally imitating the Jews and not being like the nations: Eph_4:17-19; 1Pe_4:3

Deniers of Jewish Superiority

(A) A significant number of people today are saying there is no profit to being a Jew, even though this passage clearly says there is profit (or “superiority” as CAB has it) in being Jewish.

(B) If the Bible says there is a profit in being Jewish, and we say that there is not, then we are certainly found liars:

Church Person = Moabite Unbeliever

Israel-denying Church People Have An Atheistic Moabite Spirit…

LB: Prophecy Against Moab and Seir

Eze_25:8 WEB Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because Moab and Seir say, Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations;

Eze_25:8 LB Moab “Thus says the Lord; Because Moab has said, ‘Behold, are not the houses of Israel and Judah like all the other nations?’

Eze_25:8 Τάδε λέγει κύριος Ἀνθ᾿ ὧν εἶπεν Μωαβ Ἰδοὺ ὃν τρόπον πάντα τὰ ἔθνη οἶκος Ισραηλ καὶ Ιουδα,

Eze_25:9 WEB therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim,

Eze_25:9 Therefore, behold, I will weaken the shoulder of Moab from his frontier cities, even the choice land, the house of Beth Jeshimoth above the fountain of the city, by the seaside.

Eze_25:9 διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ παραλύω τὸν ὦμον Μωαβ ἀπὸ πόλεων ἀκρωτηρίων αὐτοῦ, ἐκλεκτὴν γῆν, οἶκον Ασιμουθ ἐπάνω πηγῆς πόλεως παραθαλασσίας.

It is terrifying when some Israel-denying church people today speak just like these anti-Bible pagan unbelieving Moabites by saying that the Jews are no longer special, and that they are no different at all than any of the other nations!

Also see: Deu_32:4; Psa_92:15; Psa_145:17; Zep_3:5; Job_40:8; Psa_100:5; Psa_119:160; Joh_3:33; Tit_1:2; Rom_9:14; Heb_6:18; 1Jn_5:10

God = True; Every Man = Liar

Rom_3:3-4 CAB For what if some did not believe? Surely their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God? 4 Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar, just as it is written: "That You may be justified in Your words, and You may overcome when You are judged."

Sabbath Obedience is a special “sign” God gave between Himself and Israel

Eze_20:20 WEB and make my Sabbaths holy; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am Yahweh your God.

Eze_20:20 LB and sanctify My Sabbaths, and let them be for a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am the Lord your God.’

Eze_20:20 καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου ἁγιάζετε, καὶ ἔστω εἰς σημεῖον ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ὑμῶν τοῦ γινώσκειν διότι ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν.

Eze_20:20 NKJV hallow My Sabbaths, and they will be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.

If everyone did the same rules, then Jewish Sabbath would not be a sign of anything unique and particular for the Jews like God ordained.

>>Scrip:

See:

Deu_5:

do not profane My Sabbaths (Eze_20:11-12)

hallow My Sabbaths (Eze_20:12; Eze_20:20 / Eze_20:18-20)

hallow the Sabbath (Neh_9:14)

but this special physical “sign” turned into a sin when flesh-addicts turned it into a boasting of superiority without moral proof and sacrifice…

Sabbath Over Healing

Sabbath Observance While Condemning Jesus’ Healing

Healing on the Sabbath (core passages)

Mat_12:10 NKJV And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked Him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?—that they might accuse Him.

Mat_12:12 NKJV Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.

Mar_3:2 NKJV So they watched Him closely, whether He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him.

Luk_6:7 NKJV So the scribes and Pharisees watched Him closely, whether He would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against Him.

Luk_13:14 NKJV But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath day.

Luk_14:3 NKJV And Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?

Jesus exposes their hypocrisy (supporting verses)

Joh_5:9 NKJV And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath.

Joh_5:10 NKJV The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.

Joh_5:16 NKJV For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath.

Joh_7:22 NKJV Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

Joh_7:23 NKJV If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

Boasts in Fake Rule-keeping

GPT: Additional verses showing their boast in rule-keeping

Joh_9:16 NKJV Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How can a man who is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.

Luk_11:39 NKJV Then the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of greed and wickedness.

Luk_11:42 NKJV But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.

GPT: These passages collectively show that they boasted in circumcision, boasted in law-keeping, and condemned Jesus for healing on the Sabbath, even though they themselves would circumcise on the Sabbath—something Jesus used to reveal their double standard.

Circumcision is Special

Abrahamic Covenant of Circumcision

Gen_17:1-27 – Covenant of Circumcision

· Circumcision = (physical) Holy-ifying that through which human seed is planted -- it is VERY anti-flesh

· God did not give Abraham any promised seed until the Covenant of Circumcision had ‘sealed his faith’ * and holified his flesh
(* Rom_4:11 -- quoted in the next point)

Gen_17 Highlights

Gen_17:9 WEB God said to Abraham, "As for you, you will keep my covenant, you and your seed after you throughout their generations.

Gen_17:9 LB And God said to Abraham, “You also shall fully keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you for their generations.

Gen_17:9 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεὸς πρὸς Αβρααμ Σὺ δὲ τὴν διαθήκην μου διατηρήσεις, σὺ καὶ τὸ σπέρμα σου μετὰ σὲ εἰς τὰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν.

Gen_17:9 NKJV And God said to Abraham: “As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.”

Gen_17:10 NKJV This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised.

Gen_17:10 WEB This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your seed after you. Every male among you shall be circumcised.

Gen_17:10 And this is the covenant which you shall fully keep between Me and you, and between your descendants after you for their generations; every male of you shall be circumcised.

Gen_17:10 καὶ αὕτη ἡ διαθήκη, ἣν διατηρήσεις, ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ὑμῶν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ σπέρματός σου μετὰ σὲ εἰς τὰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν· περιτμηθήσεται ὑμῶν πᾶν ἀρσενικόν,

Gen_17:11 WEB You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of the covenant between me and you.

Gen_17:11 And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be for a sign [σημείῳ] of a covenant between Me and you.

Gen_17:11 καὶ περιτμηθήσεσθε τὴν σάρκα τῆς ἀκροβυστίας ὑμῶν, καὶ ἔσται ἐν σημείῳ διαθήκης ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ὑμῶν.

Gen_17:12 WEB He who is eight days old will be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your seed.

Gen_17:12 LB And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised by you, every male throughout your generations, and the servant born in the house and he that is bought with money, of every son of a stranger, who is not of your offspring.

Gen_17:12 καὶ παιδίον ὀκτὼ ἡμερῶν περιτμηθήσεται ὑμῖν πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν, ὁ οἰκογενὴς τῆς οἰκίας σου καὶ ὁ ἀργυρώνητος ἀπὸ παντὸς υἱοῦ ἀλλοτρίου, ὃς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματός σου.

Gen_17:13 WEB He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant will be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

Gen_17:13 He that is born in your house, and he that is bought with money shall surely be circumcised, and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant [αἰώνιον].

Gen_17:13 περιτομῇ περιτμηθήσεται ὁ οἰκογενὴς τῆς οἰκίας σου καὶ ὁ ἀργυρώνητος, καὶ ἔσται ἡ διαθήκη μου ἐπὶ τῆς σαρκὸς ὑμῶν εἰς διαθήκην αἰώνιον.

Gen_17:13 NKJV He who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money must be circumcised, and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

Gen_17:14 WEB The uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant."

Gen_17:14 And the uncircumcised male, who shall not be circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin on the eighth day, that soul shall be utterly destroyed from his family, for he has broken My covenant.”

Gen_17:14 καὶ ἀπερίτμητος ἄρσην, ὃς οὐ περιτμηθήσεται τὴν σάρκα τῆς ἀκροβυστίας αὐτοῦ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ, ἐξολεθρευθήσεται ἡ ψυχὴ ἐκείνη ἐκ τοῦ γένους αὐτῆς, ὅτι τὴν διαθήκην μου διεσκέδασεν.

Un-Circumcision = Death

· Capital Punishment for Breaking Circumcision

· Abraham (Gen_17:14) → Moses (Law)

NC = Harsher (Reminder)

See: LOB; JTC

>>Scrip:

New Covenant = Harsher Punishment than Old Testament:

Heb_2:2-3; & Heb_10:28-30; Heb_6:12; & Heb_13:7

Disobeying Abraham & Moses = Death Penalty

Disobeying New Covenant = Hell (Heb_2 & 10) & Excommunication (1Co_5)

Law Reinforces Circumcision

Exo_4: Moses’ Near-Death Experience with Circumcision

Exo_4:24 WEB It happened on the way at a lodging place, that Yahweh met him and wanted to kill him.

Exo_4:24 LB And it came to pass that the Angel of the Lord met him by the way in the inn, and sought to kill him.

Exo_4:24 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ἐν τῷ καταλύματι συνήντησεν αὐτῷ ἄγγελος κυρίου καὶ ἐζήτει αὐτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι.

Exo_4:25 WEB Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, "Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me."

Exo_4:25 And Zipporah, having taken a stone, cut off the foreskin of her son, and fell at his feet and said, “The blood of the circumcision of my son is established!”

Exo_4:25 καὶ λαβοῦσα Σεπφωρα ψῆφον περιέτεμεν τὴν ἀκροβυστίαν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς καὶ προσέπεσεν πρὸς τοὺς πόδας καὶ εἶπεν Ἔστη τὸ αἷμα τῆς περιτομῆς τοῦ παιδίου μου.

Exo_4:26 WEB So he let him alone. Then she said, "You are a bridegroom of blood," because of the circumcision.

Exo_4:26 And he departed from him, because she said, “The blood of the circumcision of my son is established.”

Exo_4:26 καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ, διότι εἶπεν Ἔστη τὸ αἷμα τῆς περιτομῆς τοῦ παιδίου μου.

Exo/Lev_12: Moses Re-Legislates Circumcision

11/24/25; 11/27/25

Review:

Gen_17:10-14 – Male infants circumcised_8th Day; uncircumcised cut off

Exo_4:24-26 – Moses’ son circumcised – Almost executed

Exo_12:44 – Slave circumcised (when purchased)

Exo_12:48 – Foreigners circumcised for Passover (to partake)

Lev_12:3 – Male infants circumcised 8th Day (like Gen_17:10-14)

Lev_12:3 WEB In the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

Lev_12:3 CAB And on the eighth day she shall circumcise the flesh of his foreskin.

Lev_12:3 καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ περιτεμεῖ τὴν σάρκα τῆς ἀκροβυστίας αὐτοῦ·

Just as…

Gen_17:14 WEB The uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant."

Gen_17:14 And the uncircumcised male, who shall not be circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin on the eighth day, that soul shall be utterly destroyed from his family, for he has broken My covenant.”

Gen_17:14 καὶ ἀπερίτμητος ἄρσην, ὃς οὐ περιτμηθήσεται τὴν σάρκα τῆς ἀκροβυστίας αὐτοῦ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ, ἐξολεθρευθήσεται ἡ ψυχὴ ἐκείνη ἐκ τοῦ γένους αὐτῆς, ὅτι τὴν διαθήκην μου διεσκέδασεν.

For some reason this was treated as a “land-command” and was not strictly kept until Jos_5

Spiritual Circumcision – through Moses

Deu_10:16 – Circumcise heart obedience

>> Sync: herein

Deu_30:6 – God circumcises heart obedience

The Point: Even as early as Moses, Israel was being told that this physical Circumcision act (Exo/Lev_12) was a “parable” pointing to a higher-standard of moral reality (Deu_10; Deu_30).

Joshua Enforces Moses’ Circumcision Requirements

Jos_5:2-12 – Joshua finally circumcises the new generation

Jesus References Moses’ Circumcision Requirements

Joh_7:22 CAB Because of this Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

Joh_7:22 διὰ τοῦτο Μωϋσῆς δέδωκεν ὑμῖν τὴν περιτομήν, οὐχ ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ Μωϋσέως ἐστὶν, ἀλλ᾿ ἐκ τῶν πατέρων, καὶ ἐν σαββάτῳ περιτέμνετε ἄνθρωπον.

Joh_7:22 NKJV Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

Joh_7:23 NKJV If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

Joh_7:23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

Joh_7:23 εἰ περιτομὴν λαμβάνει ἄνθρωπος ἐν σαββάτῳ, ἵνα μὴ λυθῇ ὁ νόμος Μωϋσέως, ἐμοὶ χολᾶτε ὅτι ὅλον ἄνθρωπον ὑγιῆ ἐποίησα ἐν σαββάτῳ;

Abrahamic → Mosaic Circumcision Requirements

The Point: Circumcision → Law-keeping

Moses’ Reinforcement of Circumcision as LAW makes Circumcision profoundly linked with Law-keeping.

Paul Reinforces Circumcision Requirement

Act_21:21

Act_21:20 CAB And hearing this, they were glorifying the Lord, saying to him, "You see, brother, how many myriads of Jews there are having believed, and they are all zealous for the law;

Act_21:20 οἱ δὲ ἀκούσαντες ἐδόξαζον τὸν Κύριον, εἶπόν τε αὐτῷ· θεωρεῖς, ἀδελφέ, πόσαι μυριάδες εἰσὶν ᾿Ιουδαίων τῶν πεπιστευκότων, καὶ πάντες ζηλωταὶ τοῦ νόμου ὑπάρχουσι.

Act_21:21 and they have been informed about you, that you are teaching defection [ἀποστασίαν] from Moses, to all the Jews who are among the Gentiles, saying for them not to circumcise their children nor to walk in our customs [ἔθεσι].

Act_21:21 κατηχήθησαν δὲ περὶ σοῦ ὅτι ἀποστασίαν διδάσκεις ἀπὸ Μωϋσέως τοὺς κατὰ τὰ ἔθνη πάντας ᾿Ιουδαίους, λέγων μὴ περιτέμνειν αὐτοὺς τὰ τέκνα μηδὲ τοῖς ἔθεσι περιπατεῖν.

Act_21:21 κατηχηθησαν δε περι σου οτι αποστασιαν διδασκεις απο BAμωυσεως TSμωσεως τους κατα τα εθνη παντας ιουδαιους λεγων μη περιτεμνειν αυτους τα τεκνα μηδε τοις εθεσιν περιπατειν

Act_21:22 What then? It is necessary for an assembly to come together; for they will hear that you have come.

Act_21:22 τί οὖν ἐστι; πάντως δεῖ πλῆθος συνελθεῖν· ἀκούσονται γὰρ ὅτι ἐλήλυθας.

Act_21:22 τι ουν εστιν παντως TSBδει TSBπληθος TSBσυνελθειν ακουσονται TSBγαρ οτι εληλυθας

Act_21:23 Therefore do this, which we say to you: There are four men with us who have taken a vow upon themselves.

Act_21:23 τοῦτο οὖν ποίησον ὅ σοι λέγομεν· εἰσὶν ἡμῖν ἄνδρες τέσσαρες εὐχὴν ἔχοντες ἐφ᾿ ἑαυτῶν.

Act_21:23 τουτο ουν ποιησον ο σοι λεγομεν εισιν ημιν ανδρες τεσσαρες ευχην εχοντες εφ εαυτων

Act_21:24 Take them and purify yourself with them, and pay for them that they may have their head shaved, and that all may know [γνῶσι] that those things of which they have been informed about [κατήχηνται] you are nothing [οὐδέν], but that you are agreeing with and keeping the law yourself [στοιχεῖς * καὶ αὐτὸς τὸν νόμον φυλάσσων (* Act_21:24 = Rom_4:12)].

Act_21:24 τούτους παραλαβὼν ἁγνίσθητι σὺν αὐτοῖς καὶ δαπάνησον ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς ἵνα ξυρήσωνται τὴν κεφαλήν, καὶ γνῶσι πάντες ὅτι ὧν κατήχηνται περὶ σοῦ οὐδέν ἐστιν, ἀλλὰ στοιχεῖς καὶ αὐτὸς τὸν νόμον φυλάσσων.

Act_21:24 τουτους παραλαβων αγνισθητι συν αυτοις και δαπανησον επ αυτοις ινα Aξυρησονται TSBξυρησωνται την κεφαλην και Aγνωσονται TSBγνωσιν παντες οτι ων κατηχηνται περι σου ουδεν εστιν αλλα στοιχεις και αυτος Aφυλασσων τον νομον TSBφυλασσων

Act_21:25 But concerning the Gentiles having believed, we wrote, having judged that they should keep no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from things offered to idols, from blood, and from anything strangled, and from fornication."

Act_21:25 περὶ δὲ τῶν πεπιστευκότων ἐθνῶν ἡμεῖς ἐπεστείλαμεν κρίναντες μηδὲν τοιοῦτον τηρεῖν αὐτοὺς, εἰ μὴ φυλλάσσεσθαι αὐτοὺς τό τε εἰδωλόθυτον καὶ τὸ αἷμα καὶ πνικτὸν καὶ πορνείαν.

Act_21:25 περι δε των πεπιστευκοτων εθνων ημεις επεστειλαμεν κριναντες TSBμηδεν Bτοιουτο TSτοιουτον TSBτηρειν TSBαυτους TSBει TSBμη φυλασσεσθαι αυτους το τε ειδωλοθυτον και TSBτο αιμα και πνικτον και πορνειαν

Act_21:26 Then Paul, having taken the men, on the next day having been purified with them, entered into the temple, thus giving notice to the completion of the days of the purification, until the time when the offering was offered in behalf of each one of them.

Act_21:26 τότε ὁ Παῦλος παραλαβὼν τοὺς ἄνδρας, τῇ ἐχομένῃ ἡμέρᾳ σὺν αὐτοῖς ἁγνισθεὶς εἰσῄει εἰς τὸ ἱερόν, διαγγέλλων τὴν ἐκπλήρωσιν τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῦ ἁγνισμοῦ, ἕως οὗ προσηνέχθη ὑπὲρ ἑνὸς ἑκάστου αὐτῶν ἡ προσφορά.

Paul Reinforces Circumcision Superiority

Rom_2:25 CAB For indeed circumcision profits [ὠφελεῖ – Rom_2:25 = Rom_3:1] if you keep [πράσσῃς] the law; but if you are [being (ᾖς ^V-PAS-2S)] a transgressor [παραβάτης] of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision [ἡ περιτομή σου ἀκροβυστία γέγονεν].

Rom_3:1 CAB What then is the superiority [τὸ περισσὸν] of the Jew, or what is the profit [ὠφέλεια – Rom_2:25 = Rom_3:1] of circumcision?

Rom_3:1 Τί οὖν τὸ περισσὸν τοῦ ᾿Ιουδαίου, ἢ τίς ἡ ὠφέλεια τῆς περιτομῆς;

Rom_3:2 Much in every way! First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

Circumcision = Nothing???

1Co_7:19 – Circumcision is nothing, but keeping God's commands is...

1Co_7:19 CAB Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God.

1Co_7:19 ἡ περιτομὴ οὐδέν ἐστι, καὶ ἡ ἀκροβυστία οὐδέν ἐστιν, ἀλλὰ τήρησις ἐντολῶν Θεοῦ.

√ GNT-V

1Co_7:19 NKJV Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.

Circumcision “Profits” & “is Nothing”???

· [√] “circumcision profits [ὠφελεῖ – Rom_2:25 = Rom_3:1]” (Rom_2:25 CAB)

· [√] “the superiority [περισσὸν^G4053 (perisson)] of the Jew…is the profit of circumcision? [is] 2 Much in every way” (Rom_3:1-2)

· [√] “Circumcision is nothing” (1Co_7:19)

And how do we obey ALL the Bible?

· Most people will simply disobey one of these Bible verses (Truths) in order to fabricate the other…

· Disobedience is NOT a disciple of Jesus/the Word / an Obeyer

And exactly why is circumcision “nothing” if it is one of God's commands to the Jews?

(I just answered the question!)

This is a pattern and a template for all of the rules of the Jewish rules of the law of Moses when being reapplied and misapplied to gentiles

Circumcision ≠ Gentiles

Total Jewish Law-Keeping -- Required by Circumcision

GPT: Circumcision as a covenant obligation that demands full Torah obedience

Physical Circumcision Requires Obeying ALL Moses’ Law to Israel

Gal_5:3 NKJV And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.

Gentiles/uncircumcised ≠ “a debtor to keep the whole law”

Gal_5:3 -- Simply put:

Circumcised → Keep All Other Jewish rules of the Law

Circumcised → Total Jewish Law-Keeping

…Because you ARE Jewish, as a proselyte or native-born, if you are circumcised

And because Total Law-Keeping -- Required by Circumcision therefore…

Rom_2:25 CAB …if you keep [πράσσῃς] the law; but if you are [being (ᾖς ^V-PAS-2S)] a transgressor [παραβάτης] of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision [ἡ περιτομή σου ἀκροβυστία γέγονεν].

>> Sync: herein

Rom_2:25 Περιτομὴ μὲν γὰρ ὠφελεῖ, ἐὰν νόμον πράσσῃς· ἐὰν δὲ παραβάτης νόμου ᾖς, ἡ περιτομή σου ἀκροβυστία γέγονεν.

The Point: Circumcision requires Jewish rules (Gal_5:3) therefore breaking rules undoes circumcision (Rom_2:25)

Jewishness Requires Rules

Circumcision → Jewish rules (Gal_5:3)

Broken Rules → Circumcision = UN-Circumcision (Rom_2:25)

(this is entirely symmetrical, and completely consistent, all throughout the entire Bible)

Israelite Circumcision has been tightly bound to Jewish rules, and it cannot be undone/loosed.

Hypocritical circumcision is physically useless because the parable has lost moral significance -- been morally broken.

Jewish Law-Keeping is a real serious cost, which is neglected by hypocritical apostate Jews and church people alike.

Boasting In Circumcision -- Against Gentiles

>>Scrip: TTS

Judaizes -- Jewish-izing Gentiles

Act_15; Gal_2

Act_15:1 NKJV And certain men came down from Judea and taught the brethren, Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.

Act_15:5 NKJV But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.

Gal_2:3 CAB But not even [οὐδὲ] Titus who was with me, although he was [being (ὤν)] a Greek ^N-NSM, was compelled [ἠναγκάσθη] to be circumcised;

Gal_2:3 ἀλλ᾿ οὐδὲ Τίτος ὁ σὺν ἐμοί, ῞Ελλην ὤν, ἠναγκάσθη περιτμηθῆναι,

Gal_2:3 NKJV Yet not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

Gal_2:4 and that was because of false brothers secretly brought in (who slipped in to spy out our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might reduce us to slavery),

Gal_2:4 διὰ δὲ τοὺς παρεισάκτους ψευδαδέλφους, οἵτινες παρεισῆλθον κατασκοπῆσαι τὴν ἐλευθερίαν ἡμῶν ἣν ἔχομεν ἐν Χριστῷ ᾿Ιησοῦ, ἵνα ἡμᾶς καταδουλώσωνται·

Separate Eating

Gal_2:12 NKJV For before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

In general: Jewish eating requires special diet & practices. -- this poses practical limits to Jews eating with Gentiles.

Illustration of separate Jewish eating: Passover Requires Circumcision to participate.

Law-Breaking Circumcision Boasters -- Without Obedience!

Rom_2:17 NKJV Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God.

Rom_2:23 NKJV You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law?

Rom_2:25 CAB For indeed circumcision profits [ὠφελεῖ – Rom_2:25 = Rom_3:1] if you keep [πράσσῃς] the law; but if you are [being (ᾖς ^V-PAS-2S)] a transgressor [παραβάτης] of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision [ἡ περιτομή σου ἀκροβυστία γέγονεν].

>> Sync: herein

Rom_2:25 NKJV For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

...

Rom_2:28 NKJV For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.

Rom_2:29 NKJV But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.

This agrees with Jer_4:4

See: Prophets: OBEY Circumcision Parable!

Judaizing Flesh-Boasting -- in Gentile Circumcision

Gal_6:12 NKJV As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

Gal_6:13 NKJV For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

Judaizing Boasters = Perverted “Cut-Down-er” Pagans!

Php_3:2 CAB Beware of the dogs [κύνας = Mat_7:6], beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision! [τὴν κατατομήν ^G2699 – i.e. the cut-down-ers/ones]

Php_3:2 Βλέπετε τοὺς κύνας, βλέπετε τοὺς κακοὺς ἐργάτας, βλέπετε τὴν κατατομήν·

Php_3:2 NKJV Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation!

Php_3:3 NKJV For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

Php_3:3 For we are [being] the true circumcision [ἐσμεν ἡ περιτομή], worshipping by the Spirit of God, rejoicing in Christ Jesus, and having no confidence in the flesh [πεποιθότες],

Php_3:3 ἡμεῖς γάρ ἐσμεν ἡ περιτομή, οἱ Πνεύματι Θεοῦ λατρεύοντες καὶ καυχώμενοι ἐν Χριστῷ ᾿Ιησοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐν σαρκὶ πεποιθότες,

Php_3:4 although I also am having confidence in the flesh. If any other person thinks to have confidence in the flesh, I even more:

Php_3:4 καίπερ ἐγὼ ἔχων πεποίθησιν καὶ ἐν σαρκί. εἴ τις δοκεῖ ἄλλος πεποιθέναι ἐν σαρκί, ἐγὼ μᾶλλον·

Php_3:2 = G2699 → G2697.2 & G2697.3 (ABP Greek)

Judaizing = Pagan -- As Seen below…

(i) Pagan Cutting

“Cut down” (Php_3:2) = invalidates disobedient fleshly Judaizing gentile-circumcisers as pagan, and NOT Jewish

(ii) Priestly Holiness

Lev_21:5 WEB " 'They shall not shave their heads, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beards, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

Lev_21:5 LB And you shall not shave your head for the dead with a baldness on the top; and they shall not shave their beard, neither shall they make gashes [κατατεμοῦσιν] on their flesh.

Lev_21:5 καὶ φαλάκρωμα οὐ ξυρηθήσεσθε τὴν κεφαλὴν ἐπὶ νεκρῷ καὶ τὴν ὄψιν τοῦ πώγωνος οὐ ξυρήσονται καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς σάρκας αὐτῶν οὐ κατατεμοῦσιν ἐντομίδας.

(iii) Mourning

Isa_15:2 WEB They have gone up to Bayith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and over Medeba. Baldness is on all of their heads. Every beard is cut off.

Isa_15:2 LB Grieve for yourselves; for even Dibon, where your altar is, shall be destroyed; there shall you go up to weep, over Nebo of the land of Moab; howl; baldness shall be on every head, and all arms shall be wounded [κατατετμημένοι].

Isa_15:2 λυπεῖσθε ἐφ᾿ ἑαυτοῖς, ἀπολεῖται γὰρ καὶ Δηβων· οὗ ὁ βωμὸς ὑμῶν, ἐκεῖ ἀναβήσεσθε κλαίειν· ἐπὶ Ναβαυ τῆς Μωαβίτιδος ὀλολύζετε ἐπὶ πάσης κεφαλῆς φαλάκρωμα, πάντες βραχίονες κατατετμημένοι·

(iv) Self-Cutting -- by the Devil’s Martyrs

1Ki_18:27 WEB It happened at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud; for he is a god: either he is musing, or he is gone aside, or he is on a journey, or peradventure he sleeps and must be awakened.

1Ki_18:27 LB And it was noon, and Elijah the Tishbite mocked them, and said, “Call with a loud voice, for he is a god; for he is meditating, or else perhaps he is engaged in business, or perhaps he is asleep, and needs to be awakened.”

1Ki_18:27 καὶ ἐγένετο μεσημβρίᾳ καὶ ἐμυκτήρισεν αὐτοὺς Ηλιου ὁ Θεσβίτης καὶ εἶπεν Ἐπικαλεῖσθε ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, ὅτι θεός ἐστιν, ὅτι ἀδολεσχία αὐτῷ ἐστιν, καὶ ἅμα μήποτε χρηματίζει αὐτός, ἢ μήποτε καθεύδει αὐτός, καὶ ἐξαναστήσεται.

1Ki_18:28 WEB They cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them.

1Ki_18:28 And they cried with a loud voice, and cut themselves [κατετέμνοντο] according to their custom with knives and lancets until the blood gushed out upon them.

1Ki_18:28 καὶ ἐπεκαλοῦντο ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ κατετέμνοντο κατὰ τὸν ἐθισμὸν αὐτῶν ἐν μαχαίραις καὶ σειρομάσταις ἕως ἐκχύσεως αἵματος ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς·

(v) Lustful Self-cutting

Hos_7:14 WEB They haven't cried to me with their heart, but they howl on their beds. They assemble themselves for grain and new wine. They turn away from me.

Hos_7:14 And their hearts did not cry to Me, but they howled on their beds; they pined [κατετέμνοντο] for oil and wine.

Hos_7:14 καὶ οὐκ ἐβόησαν πρός με αἱ καρδίαι αὐτῶν, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ὠλόλυζον ἐν ταῖς κοίταις αὐτῶν· ἐπὶ σίτῳ καὶ οἴνῳ κατετέμνοντο. ἐπαιδεύθησαν ἐν ἐμοί,

(vi) Oppression

>> Greek ABP:

Lev_25:53 WEB As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him: he shall not rule with harshness over him in your sight.

Lev_25:53 LB He shall be with him from year to year; you shall not oppress [κατατενεῖς] him with labor before you.

Lev_25:53 ὡς μισθωτὸς ἐνιαυτὸν ἐξ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἔσται μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ· οὐ κατατενεῖς αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ μόχθῳ ἐνώπιόν σου.

The Point: Just as the Jews were invalid in their fleshly boasting in circumcision without obedience, so also all church boasting in g-d is vain, empty, sinful and demonic without clean Truth of obeying everything God says.

Amo_5:21 NKJV I hate, I despise your feast days, and I do not savor your sacred assemblies.

Php_3:3 NKJV For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

Therefore even the women are not directly involved in the Jewish icing of circumcision, yet they are involved in doing Jewish rules and pretending to be Jewish when the Bible is forbidden them to leave their position and feeling their gentile.

Circumcision = Parable

The Logical Parable of Circumcision

Physical Circumcision is a parable of logical, moral, spiritual crucifixion.

Circumcision in the FLESH -- & Beyond…

Gen_17:13 WEB He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant will be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

Gen_17:13 περιτομῇ περιτμηθήσεται ὁ οἰκογενὴς τῆς οἰκίας σου καὶ ὁ ἀργυρώνητος, καὶ ἔσται ἡ διαθήκη μου ἐπὶ τῆς σαρκὸς ὑμῶν εἰς διαθήκην αἰώνιον.

Gen_17:13 NKJV He who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money must be circumcised, and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

Remember…

This is a flesh-based holiness for producing the “Holy Seed”

Gentile Fleshly Circumcision = BAD Boasting

Gal_6:12 NKJV As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

Gal_6:13 NKJV For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

Real Jew = Beyond Circumcision in Flesh

REAL Jewishness Requires Obedience Beyond Fleshly Circumcision

Rom_2:28 NKJV For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh;

Rom_2:29 NKJV But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter...

So…

Circumcision = in the flesh -- initially, but…

Circumcision ≠ in the flesh -- ultimately, spiritually, logically, Truthfully

The Point: Circumcision is in the FLESH therefore Circumcision is a parable

>>> NEW/PENDING Presentation

We know circumcision is a parable because it's in the flesh... It is not directly moral in and of itself therefore is a fleshly picture that tells a story about something else that is concretely moral (in the realm of metaphysics)

Circumcision is a parable because it's in the flash

11/30/25-12/1/25; 12/6/25

Graphically:

[FLESH(Circumcision)FLESH] = Parable → Crucifixion (Logical & Physical) = Death to (NO) Sinning

FLESH(Circumcision)FLESH ∴ Circumcision = Parable

Crucifixion = moral-Heart Circumcision

Problem:

[FLESH(Circumcision-Parable)FLESH] + Sinning = No Point to the Parable (moral-Heart UN-Circumcision)

Circumcision Boasting = confusing the Parable with the Point!

So…

Don’t Boast in Broken/Sinful Circumcision/Benefits -- it’s not real/literal/True

Failed/False Benefits = Hell

Continued Boasting = Hypocrisy/Worst Hell

Crucifixion = Beyond FLESHLY Circumcision

Flesh Circumcision is a parable of Crucifixion (inner-Circumcision) which saves us from sin. -- Circumcision BEYOND flesh is required for (& equals) salvation from sin!

Law: OBEY Circumcision Parable!

The Law itself Teaches Circumcision = Parable

GPT: Circumcision of the heart commanded in Torah (the parable’s origin)

Deu_10:16 WEB Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.

Deu_10:16 Therefore you shall circumcise the hardness of your heart, and you shall not stiffen your neck.

Deu_10:16 καὶ περιτεμεῖσθε τὴν σκληροκαρδίαν ὑμῶν καὶ τὸν τράχηλον ὑμῶν οὐ σκληρυνεῖτε ἔτι.

Dis-Obeying Circumcision = “those…[having been ^LXX] circumcised in their uncircumcision” (Jer_9:25) “and…uncircumcised in heart” (Jer_9:26) = to “sow among thorns” (Jer_4:3) “and…evil…doings” (Jer_4:4)

Questions About Boasting…

· In what ways did Apostate Jews boast? -- think: against Moses, Jesus (Joh_8:33-41), & Paul (Acts)
Think: Rebellions in the Wilderness (esp. Kora’s Rebellion, etc.)

· Is that at all similar to how religious church people (A) boast, (B) flatter, & (C) self-flatter today?

· What cost was associated with being a saved blessed Jew? (Gen_22:18, etc.)

· What sacrifice did later Jews not make? (omit, skip, ignore)

· Do Baptists (OSAS) & other church people boast in benefits without cost, much like the unbelieving Jews did in the Bible?
(that makes these boasting church people as unbelieving and lost as the Jews they pretend to surpass)

· How can we legitimately get (into) the blessed promises and divine revelations of monotheistic Israel? (Gal_3:7-28, etc.)

How can we identify the pitfalls & overcome them?

Boasting Problems

Boasting Examples (reminders)

· Circumcision boasted against gentiles (Act_15; Gal_2); see: Boasting In Circumcision -- Against Gentiles

Condition/Cost

Pay special attention to the Condition/Cost in these passages, because this saving MORALITY is exactly what rebellious apostate sinful flattery always ignores!

Boasting benefits without cost = Flattery (of self & others)

Greatness is At Stake!

Blessing of Israel...! We've got a chance to join in! -- but don’t boast and be apostate churchianity like the Jews were apostate Israel

Problems of Sinning Seed

· Good to Bad: Abraham’s Seed was good, but now it’s bad!

· Flattery Validates Rebellion: Apostasy sets in strong when sin is disguised as good with flattery and boasting without sacrifice.

Joh_6:27 NKJV Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”

Joh_5:44 NKJV How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God?

Rom_2:17 NKJV Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God,

Rom_2:18 NKJV and know His will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

Rom_2:19 NKJV and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

Rom_2:20 NKJV an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and truth in the law.

Rom_2:21 NKJV You, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal?

Rom_2:22 NKJV You who say, “Do not commit adultery,” do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

Rom_2:23 NKJV You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law?

Rom_2:24 NKJV For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” as it is written.

Rom_9:6 NKJV But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel,

Rom_9:7 NKJV nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.”

Rom_9:8 NKJV That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.

Gal_3:7 NKJV Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.

Mat_7:21 NKJV Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord, Lord,” shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

Luk_9:23 NKJV Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.”

Heb_12:14 NKJV Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

1Pe_1:15 NKJV but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,

1Pe_1:16 NKJV because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”

Mat_3:9 NKJV and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

Luk_3:8 NKJV Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

Rom_2:28 NKJV For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh;

Rom_2:29 NKJV but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.

Mat_5:8 NKJV Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.

Rom_9:31 NKJV but Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.

Rom_9:32 NKJV Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were, by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone.

Isa_48:1 NKJV “Hear this, O house of Jacob, Who are called by the name of Israel, And have come forth from the wellsprings of Judah; Who swear by the name of the Lord, And make mention of the God of Israel, But not in truth or in righteousness;

Joh_8:31 NKJV Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.

Joh_8:32 NKJV And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Joh_8:33 NKJV They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?”

Joh_8:34 NKJV Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.

Joh_8:35 NKJV And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever.

Joh_8:36 NKJV Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

Joh_8:37 NKJV “I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

Joh_8:38 NKJV I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.”

Joh_8:39 NKJV They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

Joh_8:40 NKJV But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.

Joh_8:41 NKJV You do the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.”

Joh_8:42 NKJV Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.

Joh_8:43 NKJV Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.

Joh_8:44 NKJV You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

Joh_8:45 NKJV But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.

Joh_8:46 NKJV Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?

Joh_8:47 NKJV He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.

Rom_9:8 NKJV That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.

Gal_4:28 NKJV Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.

Rom_4:12 NKJV and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while still uncircumcised.

Joh_1:12 NKJV But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

Joh_1:13 NKJV who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Col_1:12 NKJV giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

Act_13:46 NKJV Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, “It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

1Jn_3:8 NKJV He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

1Jn_3:10 NKJV In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.

1Jn_3:12 NKJV not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother’s righteous.

Boasting Murderous Seed of Abraham?

(A) False Freedom

Joh_8:33 CAB They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants [σπέρμα ᾿Αβραάμ – i.e. seed of Abraham; see: Joh_8:37], and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, 'You will become free'?"

Joh_8:33 ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτῷ· σπέρμα ᾿Αβραάμ ἐσμεν καὶ οὐδενὶ δεδουλεύκαμεν πώποτε· πῶς σὺ λέγεις ὅτι ἐλεύθεροι γενήσεσθε;

Joh_8:33 απεκριθησαν Aπρος Aαυτον TSBαυτω σπερμα αβρααμ εσμεν και ουδενι δεδουλευκαμεν πωποτε πως συ λεγεις οτι ελευθεροι γενησεσθε

Joh_8:33 NKJV They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?”

False Benefits / Flattery / Boasting

· Isn’t it ironic they are boasting that Ab’s seed means auto-freedom from slavery?

· How does that figure/compute consistently that they were slaves in Egypt and at other times throughout their history when they sinned???

Why do they randomly claim the benefits of being Ab’s seed???

This is rebellious, self-flattering apostasy!

Do Abraham’s REAL children get to randomly Boast with Self-Flattery for no reason, with no proof of virtue, while they murderously continue in sin right in front of Jesus Himself?

(B) Murderous Seed ≠ Abraham’s Produce

Joh_8:37 CAB "I know that you are Abraham's descendants [σπέρμα ᾿Αβραάμ – i.e. seed of Abraham; Rom_9:7 = Joh_8:33, Joh_8:37], but [ἀλλὰ] you seek to kill Me, because My word finds no place in you.

Joh_8:37 οἶδα ὅτι σπέρμα ᾿Αβραάμ ἐστε· ἀλλὰ ζητεῖτέ με ἀποκτεῖναι, ὅτι ὁ λόγος ὁ ἐμὸς οὐ χωρεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν.

Joh_8:37 οιδα οτι σπερμα αβρααμ εστε αλλα ζητειτε με αποκτειναι οτι ο λογος ο εμος ου χωρει εν υμιν

Joh_8:37 NKJV “I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.”

Joh_8:38 I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father."

Joh_8:38 ἐγὼ ὃ ἑώρακα παρὰ τῷ πατρὶ λαλῶ· καὶ ὑμεῖς οὖν ὃ ἑωράκατε παρὰ τῷ πατρὶ ὑμῶν ποιεῖτε.

Joh_8:38 Aα εγω TSBο εωρακα παρα τω πατρι TSBμου λαλω και υμεις ουν Aα TSBο Aηκουσατε TSBεωρακατε παρα Aτου Aπατρος TSBτω TSBπατρι TSBυμων ποιειτε

Joh_8:39 They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children [τέκνα; Rom_9:7 = Joh_8:39], you would do the works of Abraham [ἐποιεῖτε].

Joh_8:39 ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν ᾿Αβραάμ ἐστι. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς· εἰ τέκνα τοῦ ᾿Αβραάμ ἦτε, τὰ ἔργα τοῦ ᾿Αβραὰμ ἐποιεῖτε·

Joh_8:39 απεκριθησαν και Aειπαν TSBειπον αυτω ο πατηρ ημων αβρααμ εστιν λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους ει τεκνα του αβρααμ Aεστε TSBητε τα εργα του αβρααμ εποιειτε Bαν TSαν

Joh_8:39 NKJV They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.”

Joh_8:40 But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has spoken to you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.

Joh_8:40 νῦν δὲ ζητεῖτέ με ἀποκτεῖναι, ἄνθρωπον ὃς τὴν ἀλήθειαν ὑμῖν λελάληκα, ἣν ἤκουσα παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ· τοῦτο ᾿Αβραὰμ οὐκ ἐποίησεν.

Joh_8:41 You do the works of your father." Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father--God."

Joh_8:41 ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε τὰ ἔργα τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν. εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ· ἡμεῖς ἐκ πορνείας οὐ γεγεννήμεθα· ἕνα πατέρα ἔχομεν, τὸν Θεόν.

Joh_8:41 υμεις ποιειτε τα εργα του πατρος υμων Aειπαν TSBειπον Aουν TSBουν αυτω ημεις εκ πορνειας ου γεγεννημεθα ενα πατερα εχομεν τον θεον

Israel = Evil Seed?

Isa_1:3 WEB The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's crib; but Israel doesn't know, my people don't consider.

Isa_1:3 LB The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's crib; but Israel does not know Me, and the people have not regarded Me.”

Isa_1:3 ἔγνω βοῦς τὸν κτησάμενον καὶ ὄνος τὴν φάτνην τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ· Ισραηλ δέ με οὐκ ἔγνω, καὶ ὁ λαός με οὐ συνῆκεν.

Isa_1:4 WEB Ah sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and backward.

Isa_1:4 Alas, sinful nation, a people full of sins, an evil seed [σπέρμα πονηρόν], lawless children [υἱοὶ ἄνομοι]; you have forsaken the Lord, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.

Isa_1:4 οὐαὶ ἔθνος ἁμαρτωλόν, λαὸς πλήρης ἁμαρτιῶν, σπέρμα πονηρόν, υἱοὶ ἄνομοι· ἐγκατελίπατε τὸν κύριον καὶ παρωργίσατε τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ισ

Conditions/Costs:

· Know real Lord - be submissive like an owned animal

· Get rid of all sinning

God has rejected their sinful seed-&-child-boasting!

Illegitimate or Live?

Heb_12:5 CAB And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: "My son, do not despise the discipline of the LORD, nor be discouraged when you are reproved;

Heb_12:5 καὶ ἐκλέλησθε τῆς παρακλήσεως, ἥτις ὑμῖν ὡς υἱοῖς διαλέγεται· υἱέ μου, μὴ ὀλιγώρει παιδείας Κυρίου, μηδὲ ἐκλύου ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐλεγχόμενος.

Heb_12:6 For whom the LORD loves He disciplines, and scourges every son whom He receives."

Heb_12:6 ὃν γὰρ ἀγαπᾷ Κύριος παιδεύει, μαστιγοῖ δὲ πάντα υἱὸν ὃν παραδέχεται.

Heb_12:7 It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons. For what son is there whom a father does not discipline?

Heb_12:7 εἰ παιδείαν ὑπομένετε, ὡς υἱοῖς ὑμῖν προσφέρεται ὁ Θεός· τίς γὰρ ἐστιν υἱὸς ὃν οὐ παιδεύει πατήρ;

Heb_12:7 BAεις TSει παιδειαν υπομενετε ως υιοις υμιν προσφερεται ο θεος τις γαρ TSεστιν υιος Bεστιν ον ου παιδευει πατηρ

Heb_12:8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.

Heb_12:8 εἰ δὲ χωρίς ἐστε παιδείας, ἧς μέτοχοι γεγόνασι πάντες, ἄρα νόθοι ἐστὲ καὶ οὐχ υἱοί.

Heb_12:8 ει δε χωρις εστε παιδειας ης μετοχοι γεγονασιν παντες αρα νοθοι TSBεστε και ουχ υιοι Aεστε

Heb_12:9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we respected them [ἐνετρεπόμεθα]. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?

Heb_12:9 εἶτα τοὺς μὲν τῆς σαρκὸς ἡμῶν πατέρας εἴχομεν παιδευτὰς καὶ ἐνετρεπόμεθα· οὐ πολλῷ μᾶλλον ὑποταγησόμεθα τῷ πατρὶ τῶν πνευμάτων καὶ ζήσομεν;

Heb_12:9 ειτα τους μεν της σαρκος ημων πατερας ειχομεν παιδευτας και ενετρεπομεθα ου Aπολυ Aδε TSBπολλω μαλλον υποταγησομεθα τω πατρι των πνευματων και ζησομεν

Perverse Generation

Deu_32:5 LB They have sinned, not pleasing Him; spotted children, a crooked and perverse generation.

Deu_32:5 ἡμάρτοσαν οὐκ αὐτῷ τέκνα μωμητά, γενεὰ σκολιὰ καὶ διεστραμμένη.

Their ‘circumcision has become uncircumcision’ (Rom_2:25 -- seen below) and they are children of sin/evil/the devil (Joh_8:44; 1Jn_3:10; 1Jn_5:19; Eph_2:2), even though they are His people…

Rom_2:25 CAB For indeed circumcision profits [ὠφελεῖ – Rom_2:25 = Rom_3:1] if you keep [πράσσῃς] the law; but if you are [being (ᾖς ^V-PAS-2S)] a transgressor [παραβάτης] of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision [ἡ περιτομή σου ἀκροβυστία γέγονεν].

Rom_2:25 NKJV For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

Rom_2:26 NKJV Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?

Rom_2:27 NKJV And he who is physically uncircumcised, if he keeps the law, shall judge you who, even with your letter and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law.

Phi_3:3 NKJV For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

Mat_3:10 But even now, the ax is laid to the root of the trees [δένδρων]. Therefore every tree not producing [ποιοῦν] good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

Mat_3:10 ἤδη δὲ καὶ ἡ ἀξίνη πρὸς τὴν ῥίζαν τῶν δένδρων κεῖται· πᾶν οὖν δένδρον μὴ ποιοῦν καρπὸν καλὸν ἐκκόπτεται καὶ εἰς πῦρ βάλλεται.

Mat_3:10 ηδη δε TSBκαι η αξινη προς την ριζαν των δενδρων κειται παν ουν δενδρον μη ποιουν καρπον καλον εκκοπτεται και εις πυρ βαλλεται

Mat_3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightie [ἰσχυρότερός]r than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit,

Mat_3:11 ἐγὼ μὲν βαπτίζω ὑμᾶς ἐν ὕδατι εἰς μετάνοιαν· ὁ δὲ ὀπίσω μου ἐρχόμενος ἰσχυρότερός μου ἐστίν, οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς τὰ ὑποδήματα βαστάσαι· αὐτὸς ὑμᾶς βαπτίσει ἐν Πνεύματι ῾Αγίῳ καὶ πυρί.

Prophecy: Jerusalem Trampled

· The temple destruction prophecy marks the beginning of Jerusalem being trampled by Gentiles.

· Jerusalem is trampled by Gentiles into the End Times, even until the Two Witnesses in Rev_11.

· Revelation 11 - reverses Temple destruction by some kind of rebuilding of the Temple, while Jerusalem is still trampled by gentiles

They lost their temple, their benefits, their Glory, their testimony of truth to the Nations...

Just as the Jews lost their temple, so also the gentiles can lose their lamb stand...

Seed ≠ Produce -- Paul Quotes Jesus

Rom_9:7 nor are they all children [τέκνα – Rom_9:7 = Joh_8:39] because they are the seed of Abraham [ὅτι εἰσὶ σπέρμα – Rom_9:7 = Joh_8:33, Joh_8:37]; but, "In Isaac your seed shall be called."

Rom_9:7 οὐδ᾿ ὅτι εἰσὶ σπέρμα ᾿Αβραάμ, πάντες τέκνα, ἀλλ᾿ ἐν ᾿Ισαὰκ κληθήσεταί σοι σπέρμα·

Rom_9:7 ουδ οτι εισιν σπερμα αβρααμ παντες τεκνα αλλ εν ισαακ κληθησεται σοι σπερμα

Rom_9:8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh, are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

Rom_9:8 τοῦτ᾿ ἔστιν οὐ τὰ τέκνα τῆς σαρκὸς ταῦτα τέκνα τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀλλὰ τὰ τέκνα τῆς ἐπαγγελίας λογίζεται εἰς σπέρμα.

Apostasy Reverses Monotheism-Mission

It is a crying shame when Jews are apostate (Rom_3:1-4; Rom_11:20-21) and end up reversing the essential characteristic of their monotheism by flattering themselves (Joh_5:44; Rom_2:17-24) instead of being pierced with conviction from the sinfulness of their own flesh (Jer_17:9 MT; Rom_3:9-20; Luk_18:9-14) (as seen from their proclamation above) - as apostates they have self-flattered (see previous) and failed to be the light of the world (Rom_2:19 vs. Mat_5:14-16, etc. as seen above) and to bring salvation through themselves (Isa_42:6; Isa_49:6), to ‘save themselves and their hearers’ among the gentiles (1Ti_4:16; Act_13:46-47; comp. Light of World).
This Jewish Apostasy (Rom_3:1-4; Rom_11:20-21) is one of the biggest questions Paul is answering throughout Romans when he teaches about sin (Rom_3:23; Rom_7:18) as a remnant Jew fulfilling his parable’s purpose (Rom_11:1-5; Rom_15:16). Self-flattery and boasting made apostate Jews murders of Jesus (Joh_8:44; Act_3:14-15; 1Th_2:15), but Paul’s righteous faith shined light (Act_26:18) and proclaimed Jesus to the gentiles (Act_9:15; Act_13:47) all throughout the World! (Rom_15:20; Col_1:27; 2Co_10:14)

It is a crying shame when Jews are apostate and end up reversing the essential characteristic of their monotheism by flattering themselves instead of being pierced with conviction from the sinfulness of their own flesh (as seen from their proclamation above) - as apostates they have self-flattered and failed to be the light of the world and to bring salvation through themselves, to save themselves and their hearers among the gentiles.
This is one of the giant questions Paul is answering throughout Romans when he teaches about sin as a remnant Jew fulfilling his parable’s purpose. Self-flattery and boasting made apostate Jews murders of Jesus, but Paul’s righteous faith shined light and proclaimed Jesus to the gentiles all throughout the World!

Luk_18:9 NKJV Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

Luk_18:10 NKJV “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

“Always Resisted the Holy Spirit”

Neh_9:16-17 CAB But they and our fathers behaved proudly, and hardened their neck, and did not hearken to Your commandments, 17 and refused to listen, and remembered not Your wonders which You worked among them. And they hardened their neck, and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But You, O God, are merciful and compassionate, long-suffering, and abundant in mercy, and You did not forsake them.

Neh_9:29 WEB and testified against them, that you might bring them again to your law. Yet they dealt proudly, and didn't listen to your commandments, but sinned against your ordinances, (which if a man do, he shall live in them), and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.

Neh_9:29 LB And You testified against them, to bring them back to Your law; but they did not listen, and sinned against Your commandments and Your judgments, which if a man does, he shall live in them; and they turned their back, and hardened their neck, and did not hear.

Neh_9:29 καὶ ἐπεμαρτύρω αὐτοῖς ἐπιστρέψαι αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν νόμον σου, καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν, ἀλλὰ ἐν ταῖς ἐντολαῖς σου καὶ ἐν τοῖς κρίμασί σου ἡμάρτοσαν, ἃ ποιήσας αὐτὰ ἄνθρωπος ζήσεται ἐν αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἔδωκαν νῶτον ἀπειθοῦντα καὶ τράχηλον αὐτῶν ἐσκλήρυναν καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν.

Neh_9:30 WEB Yet many years you put up with them, and testified against them by your Spirit through [ביד – in-HAND (of)] your prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore you gave them into the hand [ביד] of the peoples of the lands.

Neh_9:30 καὶ εἵλκυσας ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς ἔτη πολλὰ καὶ ἐπεμαρτύρω αὐτοῖς ἐν πνεύματί σου ἐν χειρὶ προφητῶν σου· καὶ οὐκ ἠνωτίσαντο, καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ λαῶν τῆς γῆς.

Neh_9:31 WEB Nevertheless in your manifold mercies you did not make a full end of them, nor forsake them; for you are a gracious and merciful God.

Neh_9:31 But You in Your many mercies did not appoint them to destruction, and did not forsake them; for You are strong, and merciful, and compassionate.

Neh_9:31 καὶ σὺ ἐν οἰκτιρμοῖς σου τοῖς πολλοῖς οὐκ ἐποίησας αὐτοὺς συντέλειαν καὶ οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπες αὐτούς, ὅτι ἰσχυρὸς εἶ καὶ ἐλεήμων καὶ οἰκτίρμων.

Neh_9:29 NKJV And warned them in order to turn them back to Your law. Yet they acted proudly, And did not heed Your commandments, But sinned against Your judgments, Which if a man does, he shall live by them; And they shrugged their shoulders, Stiffened their necks, And would not hear.

Incarnation Denial = Hell

>>> JBS -- recompile???

Denying the Incarnation of God Means Damnation for the Unbeliever

1Jn_2:22-23 CAB Who is a liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father either.

It goes without saying that this includes all Jews who deny Jesus

1Jn_4:3 CAB and every spirit which does not confess [Greek: confess together] that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard that it is coming, and now is already in the world.

2Jn_1:7 CAB Because many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and the antichrist.

Side Note: Incarnation includes Jesus’ Divinity

If you do believe that Jesus has come in the flesh, then it necessarily means He “came” from being God unto manifesting himself in the flesh of men:

1Ti_3:16 WEB Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great: |God| was revealed in the flesh, Justified in the spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the nations, Believed on in the world, And received up in glory.

Still Acknowledged -- Despite Being Unsaved

Other date(s), seen at top; 1/15/26

National Israel is still acknowledged in the midst of the New Covenant, even though they have been declared lost and rejected unto this day:

Balaam: Israel = Sinful, but Blessed & Loved

Even though National Israel was rebellious in the Old Covenant, God still poured out adoration and Love upon them, and continued to bless them and call them His people…

Balaam’s Full Story: Num 22 – 24

Num_24:1 – Balaam pleased God by blessing Israel (also see: Num_23:3-12; Num_23:15-26; Num_24:1-10)

even though…

Num_25:1-18 – (in the very next chapter) they were still completely hard-hearted, sinful and rebellious.

Deu_23:5 WEB Nevertheless Yahweh your God wouldn't listen to Balaam; but Yahweh your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because Yahweh your God loved you.

Deu_23:5 LB But the Lord your God would not hearken to Balaam; and the Lord your God changed the curses into blessings, because the Lord your God loved you.

Deu_23:5 (23:6) καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν κύριος ὁ θεός σου εἰσακοῦσαι τοῦ Βαλααμ, καὶ μετέστρεψεν κύριος ὁ θεός σου τὰς κατάρας εἰς εὐλογίαν, ὅτι ἠγάπησέν σε κύριος ὁ θεός σου.

For more on Balaam see:

Deu_23:3-6; Neh_13:2; Mic_6:5; Num_25:1-3; Num_31:8; Jos_13:22 (they killed Balaam); Jos_24:9-10; 2Pe_2:15; Jud_1:11; Rev_2:14

The Children’s Bread

The Jews are still called “The children” in the Phrase, “The children’s bread”: Mat_15:26; Mar_7:27

Jews = God's People

The Jews are still called God's people

Mat_2:6 CAB 'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you shall come forth a Ruler who will shepherd My people Israel.' "

Luk_1:67-68 CAB Now... Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and he prophesied, saying, 68 "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He has visited and redeemed His people,

Luk_1:76-79 CAB "And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Highest; for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways, 77 to give knowledge of salvation to His people by the remission of their sins, 78 through the tender mercy of our God, with which the Dayspring from on high has visited us; 79 to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."

Note: This was before salvation had been particularly proclaimed to the nations, and this prophecy was about John the Baptist, and by extension, Jesus Himself, and both John and Jesus preached primarily to the Jews.

Luk_7:16 CAB Then fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying, "A great prophet has risen up among us"; and, "God has visited His people."

Act_3:25 CAB You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And in your offspring [σπέρματί – seed] all the families of the earth shall be blessed.'

Act_3:25 ὑμεῖς ἐστε οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν καὶ τῆς διαθήκης ἧς διέθετο ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ὑμῶν, λέγων πρὸς ᾿Αβραάμ· καὶ ἐν τῷ σπέρματί σου ἐνευλογηθήσονται πᾶσαι αἱ πατριαὶ τῆς γῆς.

Act_3:26 To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities."

Act_3:26 ὑμῖν πρῶτον ὁ Θεὸς ἀναστήσας τὸν παῖδα αὐτοῦ ᾿Ιησοῦν ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὸν εὐλογοῦντα ὑμᾶς ἐν τῷ ἀποστρέφειν ἕκαστον ἀπὸ τῶν πονηριῶν ὑμῶν.

Note: If Peter says here to the Jews that they are the (physical) sons of the prophets and the patriarchs and we say that they are not recognized at all, then we need to repent and become of the same faith as Peter.

And even after the Jews were Rejected, Paul Clearly and consistently says & quotes…

Rom_15:10 CAB And again he says: "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!"

Other Verses

Also see the following passages: Rom_11:1-2 (quoted elsewhere); also see: Hos_11:12 (especially see this passage in the LXX since it is not as clear in the MT – Masoretic Text).

We should know that this theme of calling the Jews “God’s People” is carried over from the Old Testament: Psa_41:13; Psa_72:17-19; Psa_106:48 (we should know that this is only a very small representative sample).

Explanation

Although there is a decreasing but still significant minority that do not believe the Bible verses about our obligation to bless National Israel, there are virtually none that disagree with Israel’s current state of lostness. This is one of the very few clear Truths in the Bible that church goers don’t usually ever argue against. The plain fact that physical national Israel is lost and on her way to hell goes without saying for virtually every form of christianity, and does not call for much of a fight to establish in people’s minds, since almost all church goers are already aware of these tragic realities. The Scriptures are plain and clear on this point, and in addition to this clarity of the Scriptures, thankfully, for the most part, even though most church goers are lost themselves, so far no one within the church really disagrees with the fact that Israel is lost at our point in history.

[If anyone reading this knows of any main-stream church groups that think National Israel is going to heaven, please let me know (not counting liberals that think ‘everyone is going to heaven’)].

Contradicting Israel’s Salvation in the Bible

It is high time that we insistently held people accountable to plainly obey the commands in the Bible, including those commands for us to believe for the promised future salvation for national Israel, and it is time that we called sinners to repent of creating unreasoning excuses to disobey these passages. It is high time that we repented of this old heresy of ancient counterfeits and wicked reformers. Whether it is the “spiritualizing” excuses of “Covenant Theology” (which essentially came through an initially subtle heretic named Origen), or the “eschatological” excuses promoted by other free-thinking heretics, it is time we called the church to repent of reproducing the lawless language and theology of heretics.

The very last thing on earth that we need in our lawless and perverse age that we live in, is to find more excuses to not obey the Bible, But there are tireless perverts inside of the church who labor with all they can to disprove what God has said, and there are so many of these that labor so that they may think despairingly of Israel, but instead of this cancer we so desperately need continuous and perfect demands charged upon us to simply believe and obey everything the Bible says, including this point about loving and blessing national Israel, and believing for her ultimate salvation.

Repent of Straw Man Arguments

The Fictional Threat

When talking about the promise of Israel being saved, many irrational people have quickly tried to rebuke and correct the Scriptures whenever they are spoken out loud by insisting with their theoretical religion that “the Jews are going to have to come into salvation by Jesus just like everyone else.” But while this statement in and of itself can be technically correct, using these words as though we were fighting some epidemic false doctrine that the church at large is falling for, is deceptive, since it tries to incriminate the promise and slander the proclamation of Israel’s guaranteed future national salvation as though it were motivated by false beliefs, and it pretends that there is someone out there who is trying to say that the Jews do not have to repent and believe in Jesus to be saved, so that they can cloud over the promise with the scare of a make-believe scenario of false doctrine. A rational and sound mind does not do this.

When we talk about a regular person from the nations being saved, everyone in any form of christianity (even as bad as the modern religion is) at least theoretically knows that a person has to come to God by faith in Jesus. But for some reason, when we start talking about all Israel being saved people argue back that the Jews have to come in by faith in Jesus, as though the promise of Israel’s salvation was somehow contrary to this. This is what is called a straw man argument; You make it look like someone is arguing something that they are not so that you can look like you proved your point when you disprove the thing that no one was ever proposing in the first place.

There is no real threat, even within modern christianity, of people believing that Israel will be saved without coming to Jesus by faith, and we ought to repent of deceptively pretending that there is, just so we can scare people away from believing what God said on this matter, and use it as another excuse and occasion to belittle physical Israel, and make it look like we have disproved the promise of God to save this nation.

Let it Stand clear for the Record from now on!

As a whole, in general, for the vast majority of all churches today, there is no one arguing that Israel is going to be saved apart from faith in Jesus. To bring this up as a counterpoint is deceptive and evil, because it irrationally fights against the promise of Israel being saved as though the promise depended upon some argument that they are going to be saved without being cut to the heart and crying out to Jesus for mercy:

Zec_12:10 KJV …and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

For those who unreasonably claim that this has already happened: While it is stated that there has been some kind of pre-fulfillments to this passage (in John), it is abundantly clear that this repentance, or “mourning,” has not happened yet as Israel has not yet fully looked on Jesus in this completed way (see the section called, “The Promise is to those who Pierced”).

Using straw man arguments to avoid acknowledging the good promises of God toward the nation of Israel is dishonest, and in the end, it betrays the debater as having a perverse zeal and indignation against this blessed people, since such wrathful descriptions do not simply submit when the Scriptures talk about the particular mercy that has been promised to these physical descendants of Jacob.

If you have wrathful warnings that may benefit us into the sobriety of truth by gloriously honoring the justice of God against the lawlessness of men, then I beg you to preach on. But if you have some perverted darkness that does not submit to the Scriptures when they speak of God’s goodness and promises toward a people, then you are the one who needs the warnings of God’s wrath, since you do not actually care enough to Love and obey Jesus when He commands us to believe for the salvation of His elect nation.

Don’t be irrational and theoretical in finding ways to disobey the Scriptures. Repent and be Biblical.

Conclusion

Although it is abundantly clear that national Israel is currently lost, we should not use this fact (that everyone already knows and agrees with) as though it were leverage to support the heresy that says National Israel will never be saved. Although the Bible makes it clear that they are lost (seen above), it is irrational to use this fact to assume that they will always be this way, especially when we have to reject and disbelieve Bible verses (also seen above), even the emphatic promises of God, to establish and teach our rebellious presumptions.

---------------

Why Fight the Bible?

One of the basic problems (which I have already somewhat indicated) is that there is practically no motivation to state that all Israel will be saved except the fact that the Bible says it, and I can say this even after significant experience being exposed to the most ungodly and wicked types of "pro-Israel" churches. It is very true that after they have established that all Israel will be saved they embellish it with many unfounded religious nonsense (especially in their unreasonable eschatology), yet still, no one would ever stand up and come up with the initial, basic idea that all Israel would be saved if the Scriptures had not said it first. This is why it makes no sense to call yourself a christian and fight against the initial and basic fact that all Israel will be saved, since the only thing you can really argue against is the Bible itself. No one else is responsible for asserting this promise outside of the Bible, so please do not be found opposing what God said.

Other Summary Warnings

Beware of the religious mind that imagines unwarranted evil against the Jews that is not motivated by the scriptures

why is it that people among us so often pop up with new and random zeal against the Jews without any apparent motivation when they are not even a threat or temptation to us, our faith, or our safety?

why is it that people so frequently imagine straw man arguments that are not even being debated in order to criticize the Jews? make no mistake—when people do this it is demonic irrationality since there is no Scriptural nor current threat to answer for such actions. satan has always randomly and irrationally incited as much ill will against the Jews as he can for, no apparent reason throughout history. These irrational arguments are ones that come out of no where and pretend threats as an excuse to speak against the Jews:

·they are not going to get in to heaven any different than anyone else - as though someone is arguing otherwise

·they are a rejected people

it is a very obvious reality that the Jews have been hardened for a reason, and it is even more obvious and simply stated in scripture that this hardening is temporary.

Did you notice that it is people like Luther and other such un submitted persons that feel randomly motivated against the Jews, not even recognizing their fleshly superiority.

- They would even wish that the Jews would “come to Jesus” and then become “un circumcised” contrary to the commandment

- They would say that there is no profit in circumcision

Rom_3:5 NKJV But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say?

(GPT: “Our unrighteousness” = Jewish unrighteousness, because he is still answering_3:1-2.)

..

Rom_3:7 NKJV For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? [Gentiles don’t teach this or even wrestle with this dilemma]

(GPT: Still Jewish context: “lie” refers to Jewish failure under the law.)

Rom_3:8 NKJV And why not say, Let us do evil that good may come?—as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. [comp. Rom_6:1, Rom_6:15; (Psa_31:13; Psa_109:2; Jer_20:10)] Their condemnation is just.

(GPT: The “we” slander is aimed at Jewish Christian preachers like Paul.)

Rom_3:9 NKJV What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.

[Note: we = Jews; they = Greeks]

(GPT: This is the key identification)

Rom_3:10 NKJV As it is written: There is none righteous, no, not one.

…

Rom_4:1 NKJV What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?

(GPT: Only Jews can say “Abraham our father according to the flesh.”)

…

Rom_3:19 NKJV Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

Rom_3:20 NKJV Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Note: SINFULNESS is what real Jews are supposed to proclaim to the whole world!

This is what Paul does as a redeemed spiritual True Jew who REALLY fulfills the Law…

Just look at what he keeps talking about when reading Rom_3! (both above and below…)

Rom_3:23 NKJV For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

…

Rom_7: Jews Know They’re Sinful!

“those who know the law” (Rom_7:1) are fully aware that “the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members” (Rom_7:5 NKJV)

Rom_7:1 NKJV Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?

(GPT: He explicitly identifies the audience of the “we” that follows: Jews who know the law.)

Rom_7:4 NKJV Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ…

Rom_7:5 NKJV For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members…

(GPT: “We were in the flesh” = Jewish bondage under the law.)

Rom_9:3 NKJV For I could wish that I myself were accursed… for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh.

Rom_9:4 NKJV who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises.

(GPT: This defines Israel as “my” group—Paul’s people, the “we.”)

Rom_9:5 NKJV of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came…

Rom_15:8 NKJV Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God…

Rom_15:27 NKJV For if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things…

(GPT: “Their” = the Jews’ spiritual things — same “we” Paul belongs to.)

Proof of Jew-Context -- Summary

“Abraham our father” (Rom_4:1) → Only Jews can say this by flesh.

“Are we better than they? … we … both Jews and Greeks” (Rom_3:9) → Paul explicitly calls “we” Jews.

“Our unrighteousness” and “our lie” (Rom_3:5,_3:7) → Jewish failure under the law.

“We say” and “we are slanderously reported” (Rom_3:8) → Jewish apostolic preachers.

We-They

we = Jews

they = Greeks/Gentiles [vs. Rom_3:2]

Slander -- Sidenote

Psa_31:13 NKJV For I hear the slander of many; fear is on every side…

Psa_109:2 NKJV For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful have opened against me; they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

Jer_20:10 NKJV For I heard many mocking: Fear on every side! Report, they say, and we will report it!

Real Jews Actually Proclaim No-Sinning:

Rom_6:1 NKJV What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?

Rom_6:15 NKJV What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!

Isa_2:2 NKJV Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains… all nations shall flow to it.

Isa_2:3 NKJV Many people shall come and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD… He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Isa_42:6 LB “I, the Lord God, have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will strengthen you; and I have given you [σε ^P-AS] for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles;

Isa_42:6 ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἐκάλεσά σε ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ κρατήσω τῆς χειρός σου καὶ ἐνισχύσω σε καὶ ἔδωκά σε εἰς διαθήκην γένους, εἰς φῶς ἐθνῶν

Isa_42:6 NKJV I, the LORD, have called You in righteousness, and will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, as a light to the Gentiles.

Isa_49:6 WEB yes, he says, "It is too light a thing that you ^Singular should be my servant ^Sing to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give you ^Sing for a light to the nations, that you [inherits previous grammar?] may be my salvation [ישׁועתי – i.e. root-salvation-word for “Jesus”] to the end of the earth."

Isa_49:6 LB And He said to me, “It is a great thing for you to be called My servant [παῖδά μου], to establish the tribes of Jacob, and to recover the dispersion [διασπορὰν] of Israel; behold, I have given you [σε ^P-AS] for the covenant of a race [γένους], for a light of the Gentiles, that you [σε ^P-AS] should be for salvation to the end of the earth.” [Act_13:47 = Isa_49:6]

Isa_49:6 καὶ εἶπέν μοι Μέγα σοί ἐστιν τοῦ κληθῆναί σε παῖδά μου τοῦ στῆσαι τὰς φυλὰς Ιακωβ καὶ τὴν διασπορὰν τοῦ Ισραηλ ἐπιστρέψαι· ἰδοὺ τέθεικά σε ^P-AS εἰς διαθήκην γένους εἰς φῶς ἐθνῶν τοῦ εἶναί σε ^P-AS εἰς σωτηρίαν ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς.

Isa_49:6 NKJV Indeed He says, It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles, that You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth. [Act_13:47 = Isa_49:6]

Isa_60:3 WEB Nations [Gentiles] shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.

Isa_60:3 LB And kings shall walk in your light, and nations in your brightness.

APOSTLES AS LIGHT TO THE NATIONS (QUOTING ISAIAH)

Act_13:46 CAB But Paul and Barnabas, speaking boldly said, "It was necessary for the word of God to be spoken to you first; but since you thrust it away, and judge yourselves not worthy of eternal life; behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

Act_13:46 παρρησιασάμενοι δὲ ὁ Παῦλος καὶ ὁ Βαρναβᾶς εἶπον· ὑμῖν ἦν ἀναγκαῖον πρῶτον λαληθῆναι τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ· ἐπειδὴ δὲ ἀπωθεῖσθε αὐτὸν καὶ οὐκ ἀξίους κρίνετε ἑαυτοὺς τῆς αἰωνίου ζωῆς, ἰδοὺ στρεφόμεθα εἰς τὰ ἔθνη.

Act_13:47 For so the Lord has commanded us: 'I have set you to be a light of the nations [i.e. Gentiles ^NKJV], that you should be for salvation to the end of the earth.' " [Act_13:47 = Isa_49:6]

Act_13:47 οὕτω γὰρ ἐντέταλται ἡμῖν ὁ Κύριος· τέθεικά σε εἰς φῶς ἐθνῶν τοῦ εἶναί σε εἰς σωτηρίαν ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς.

MESSIAH AS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

(ISRAEL’S REPRESENTATIVE)

Isa_9:2 NKJV The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined.

Mat_4:15 NKJV The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali… Galilee of the Gentiles.

Mat_4:16 NKJV The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light…

Luk_2:32 NKJV A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel.

JEWS TO BRING SALVATION TO NATIONS

Rom_1:16 NKJV For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

Rom_9:4 NKJV who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises.

Rom_11:11 NKJV I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.

Rom_11:12 NKJV Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!

Rom_11:15 NKJV For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

GPT: Here Paul explicitly teaches that Jewish history mediates salvation to the world.

Jewish Mercy For Gentile Prise

GENTILES PRAISING GOD BECAUSE OF JEWISH MERCY

Rom_15:8 NKJV Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God…

Rom_15:9 NKJV and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, and sing to Your name.

Rom_15:10 NKJV And again he says: Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!

Rom_15:11 NKJV And again: Praise the LORD, all you Gentiles!

>> SRP

Example that a Jew expressed:

Some people think we Jews flatter ourselves by saying where God's chosen people, when in fact actually the Bible says a lot about how stubborn and rebellious we are

Conviction Commission

· Monotheism convicts the world of sin

· It's the ongoing mission divinely commissioned to the children of monotheism

Law-Obsession = Good Truth -- all the way into the End-Times!

· Get on Mission: It’s high time we joined the monotheistic ministry to us gentiles!

· Law-Obsessed: Jews are supposed to be obsessed with the law: details, purity needed

· Shine on Sin: Jews bring light to the world by obsessing over the law, which especially reveals human sinfulness, which leads people to anointed one

>>>NEW /\\/\/

Eph_5:11 CAB And have no partnership with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

Eph_5:11 καὶ μὴ συγκοινωνεῖτε τοῖς ἔργοις τοῖς ἀκάρποις τοῦ σκότους, μᾶλλον δὲ καὶ ἐλέγχετε.

Eph_5:11 και μη συγκοινωνειτε τοις εργοις τοις ακαρποις του σκοτους μαλλον δε και ελεγχετε

Eph_5:12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things being done by them in secret.

Eph_5:12 τὰ γὰρ κρυφῇ γινόμενα ὑπ᾿ αὐτῶν αἰσχρόν ἐστιν καὶ λέγειν·

Eph_5:12 τα γαρ κρυφη γινομενα υπ αυτων αισχρον εστιν και λεγειν

Eph_5:13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.

Eph_5:13 τὰ δὲ πάντα ἐλεγχόμενα ὑπὸ τοῦ φωτὸς φανεροῦται·

Moses Continues -- Till the END!

You're never going to get done talking about Moses when trying to talk about Jesus and monotheism

Revelation 10 – Gospel

Revelation 11 – 2 Witnesses (remember the law of Moses Malachi 4)

Revelation 12 – the salvation of the Jews along with the gentiles

The Point: End Times = Jewish Law-of-Moses Obsession & Resulting Sin-Confrontation, bringing light to the World in Jesus (i.e. Remember [yet again, yet still…] the law of Moses -- Malachi 4)

Flattery vs. Conviction <<<<<<<

· Self-flattery ruins the mission of monotheism

· Benefits without proof / sacrifice disqualifies your opportunities for announcing the good message

Flattery = Downfall of rich people…

Rich People Like Positivity

· Rich people don't like monotheism because it's so focused on sin-confrontation

· Monotheism interrupts the self-delusion of positive Rich luxury

Saving Solution <<<<<<<

If you want to escape this trap of luxury...

Start getting poor and press down and desire to live good reverently and you'll get plenty of persecution (2Ti_3:12) and then you will be comforted when monotheism condemns the flesh which is waging war against your hope

The Filter of Being Chosen

Filter of “Election”

(A) Jewish Filtration

Invalid Inclusiveness: Abraham’s seed → Chosen Seed (Imagined by boasting-flattering-hypocrites)

Valid Filter: Abraham → Isaac (Gen_22) → Jacob (Psa_105:6) → Filtered Repeatedly → Chosen Seed → Glorious/Rejoicing/Exalted Identity of Seed

The Point: Abraham → Isaac → Jacob → Chosen

This parallels today with…

(B) Gentile Filtration

Invalid Inclusiveness: Christian → Saved/Predestined/Eternal Life/Heaven

Valid Filter: Repentance/Turn/Change from all sinning → Begging → Clean Faith → Obey ALL → Invisible/Heavenly Kingdom

(C) Inclusiveness vs. Filter

With Jews & with Gentiles: Hypocrites love to boast & self-flatter with Inclusiveness of sinners, instead of the remnant-filter of God’s chosen.

Blasphemous rebels act as if God were “a respecter of persons” just because some people have physical privileges and acknowledge certain facts, like “believing & confessing JC”.

So, with Israel…

This “Valid” Abraham-Filter starts with Isaac…

Isaac -- One-of-a-Kind Patriarch

CHAT/Slide:

Circumcision Holiness → Isaac → One-Of-A-Kind Child

Isaac = Holy Circumcision = One-Of-A-Kind Child

The blessed promise seed of Abraham is through Isaac, whose generation was specifically and particularly holy applied through the circumcision Covenant of Genesis 17, which resulted in Isaac being called the one-of-a-kind special generated one... (Gen_22:2, Gen_22:12, Gen_22:16; Heb_11:17 -- See: Abraham Listened; Seed Blessed)

Circumcision Holiness → Isaac

The Circumcised Seed-production starts with the special physical holiness of Circumcision and is confirmed by the supernatural child-birth of Isaac (one-of-a-kind)

Isaac = Product of Holy Circumcision & One-of-a-kind supernatural child-birth = Holy Chosen Seed of Abraham

Specialness

· Notice the holy particularity -- don’t flatten, level, equalize, when God has said something special!!!

· Parable: people have particular preferences -- defiling this parable excludes you from monotheistic blessings!

· Indifference to exciting specialness is why your flesh knows nothing about how to really love people!

>>Scrip:

Give me the soup my soul loves

See: Hope of Being special

>>Scrip:

Isn’t my word like fire

The Point: Initial Circumcised Seed-Production = Holy one-of-a-kind birth -- based on elimination of bad (Ishmael, etc.) & selection of a remnant (through Isaac)

The Point: Isaac = NextGen Chosen Seed Filter of Holy Remnant by Circumcision & supernatural child-birth

Isaac = Narrowing Remnant-Filter

· Blessing of Isaac: Being Abraham's seed through the filtering qualifying narrowing of Isaac is quite the blessing of being Abraham's promised seed.

· Paul’s Specialness: Paul draws out that the whittling down onto Isaac is the only promised spiritual seed of Abraham

Isa_10:22 καὶ ἐὰν γένηται ὁ λαὸς Ισραηλ ὡς ἡ ἄμμος τῆς θαλάσσης, τὸ κατάλειμμα αὐτῶν σωθήσεται· [|versification difference|] λόγον γὰρ συντελῶν καὶ συντέμνων ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ,

Isa_10:23 WEB For the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, will make a full end, and that determined, in the midst of all the earth.

Isa_10:23 He will finish the work [λόγον γὰρ συντελῶν], and cut it short in righteousness [καὶ συντέμνων ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ]; because the Lord will make a short work [συντετμημένον ποιήσει] in all the world [ἐν τῇ οἰκουμένῃ ὅλῃ; Rom_9:28 = ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς].

Isa_10:23 ὅτι λόγον συντετμημένον ποιήσει ὁ θεὸς ἐν τῇ οἰκουμένῃ ὅλῃ.

The Point: Isaiah & Paul Agree in predicting/teaching an end-times “remnant” (left-over) all throughout the Bible -- which is a continuous filter of elimination as potently illistrated with, and continued from Isaac.

Remnant Reserved

>> Greek:

Rom_11:4 But what does the divine response [χρηματισμός] say to him? "I have reserved [κατέλιπον – i.e. left-behind/remnanted] for Myself [ἐμαυτῷ] seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal."

Rom_11:4 ἀλλὰ τί λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ χρηματισμός; κατέλιπον ἐμαυτῷ ἑπτακισχιλίους ἄνδρας, οἵτινες οὐκ ἔκαμψαν γόνυ τῇ Βάαλ.

Rom_11:5 CAB Even so then, at this present time [ἐν τῷ νῦν καιρῷ] also there is [become/been-generated (γέγονεν)] a remnant [λεῖμμα] according to the election [chosen-out-with-words] of grace [κατ᾿ ἐκλογὴν χάριτος].

Rom_11:5 οὕτως οὖν καὶ ἐν τῷ νῦν καιρῷ λεῖμμα κατ᾿ ἐκλογὴν χάριτος γέγονεν.

√ GNT-V

“Remnant” is Consistent in Greek

Notice that these remnant words are all the same consistent Greek root…

· Rom_9:27/Isa_10:22 CAB Isaiah …the remnant [τὸ Aυπολειμμα TSBκατάλειμμα] shall be saved;

· Rom_11:4/1Ki_19:18 …"I have reserved [i.e. left-behind/remnanted (κατέλιπον)] for Myself… [NT = MT, however… LXX: remnant-left-behind in Israel [καταλείψεις ἐν Ισραηλ]]

· Rom_11:5 CAB …there is [become/been-generated (γέγονεν)] a remnant [λεῖμμα]…

Filter Summary: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Hosea, Isiah, Elijah

from Paul

To be REAL Israel (Rom_9:6), Paul…

· (1) starts with Abraham, the selected patriarchal-monotheistic goal (Rom_9:7 -- he was called out of polytheism in Gen_12, etc.), and

· (2) narrows down to Isaac’s selection (Rom_9:6-10), whose seed explicitly narrows down the chosen ones, and

· (3) moves on to Jacob’s selection against Esau (Rom_9:11-13), which brings us back to the goal of being REAL Israel, and (using these initial filters as demonstrated proof) eventually

· (4) Appeals to Hosea’s filtering-prophecy against Israel’s sinful illegitimacy, as “not My people” (Rom_9:25-26), and then

· (5) Quotes Isiah’s exclusive, end-times (Rom_9:28 [συντελῶν]/Isa_10:23/Rev_10:7 [ἐτελέσθη]), saved remnant, as only * “the remnant shall be saved” [τὸ κατάλειμμα σωθήσεται] (Rom_9:27-28/Isa_10:20-23), and then Paul…

· (6) uses Elijah’s revelation-vision in 1Ki_19:18 [καταλείψεις ἐν Ισραηλ] (quoted and explained in Rom_11:2-4) to move to a large-scale national filtering and remnant, as the “leftovers”/remnant [λεῖμμα (Rom_11:5)] of Israel (1Ki_19:18 [LXX: καταλείψεις ἐν Ισραηλ]) after all else has been eliminated by national sin, rebellion, idolatry (Rom_11:4/1Ki_19:18) and persecution (1Ki_19:14/Rom_11:3)…

[* “only” is (ironically) typically used in the paraphrases to correctly summarize this exclusive remnant salvation: ISV/NIV/ESV/CEV/ERV/BBE/GNB/GW]

We Need to be Remnant! -- End-times Apostasy Applies to US!

Paul teaches about Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Hosea, Isiah, Elijah as Bible-Proof that the filtering throughout the Old Testament applies to his day (Rom_9:27; Rom_11:6, Rom_11:7, etc.) just exactly like we are supposed to obediently and observantly apply it to our day, because after all, this Bible Truth/Theology takes us straight into the end-times (Rom_9:28 [συντελῶν]/Isa_10:23/Rev_10:7 [ἐτελέσθη]).

Obey: Apply Israel’s example of apostasy & remnant filtering to US gentiles today like Paul teaches us (by God’s authoritative inspiration)

Apostasy vs Remnant - Proof Demanded

12/14/25

· Apostasy Denial = Flattering

· Assuming remnant status is "boasting against the truth" (like Jam_3:14 says not to) without obeying the Truth to "watch out!" And "beware" (Mat_24:4-11, etc.)

· Fantasy Can’t Save: Naive and presumptuous pride and illogical assumptions do not save you from apostasy nor secure you as God's chosen remnant

OBEY Moral-Proof of Remnant

Other date(s); 12/13/25-12/14/25

· Remnant Requires Proof

· Remnant Invalidates Boasting Flattery

· Boasting Flattery Contradicts Remnant

· Doomed Fantasy: Naivety, Satisfaction, Lazy thinking, and Self-Flattery guarantees apostasy because it disobeys the warnings of selective elimination against the majority which Remnant-Realities Proclaim

Love the Remnant!

1/18/26

Specialness: what special (non-equalizing, non-flattening, non-deflating) faithfulness are you showing to the remnant to show that you've come out of rebellious apostasy?

Do you recognize the special identity of those who are holding mightily to the traditions of the apostles that church has abandoned??

Do you beg them for truth and encourage them like Ruth did to Naomi - like virtually no one is obeying today?

NT Remnant: Keeping in mind we haven't even gotten into the New Testament proclamation of the remnant!

Real Love is where your faith in God's remnant really shows itself to be true or false - it shows whether you really are in God's Remnant from Isaac to revelation or if you're still part of the flattened unholy non-special majority...

("the rubber really meets the road")

Are you hazarding your social life so that it might be sacrificially ruined to be in good company with the right ragged hardcore remnant obeyers of all the Bible?

Identifying the Remnant

Identifying those who obey all of the Bible is not as subjective and unclear as liberals would try to pretend

>>Scrip:

These things were not done in a corner somewhere but you yourself know them

Ezra 10 already answered this thousands of years ago.

2nd Thessalonians 2 - don't lose your brain

you're not allowed to pretend like identifying The Remnant is subject to interpretation or is it in any way not objectively made clear already

Remnant (Rom_9) = Few Saved (Luk_13)

· Question (Remnant): “are there few who are [being] saved?” (Luk_13:23) [ει ολιγοι οι σωζομενοι ^V-PPP-NPM]

· Answer: YES! (Luk_13:24-29)

· Solution: Agony of Narrow Gate (Luk_13:24) [αγωνιζεσθε εισελθειν δια της στενης Aθυρας TSBπυλης]

The Point: Meager-Few [Ολιγοι] Saved (Luk_13:23) ≈ Saved Left-Behind-Remnant [τὸ Aυπολειμμα TSBκατάλειμμα σωθήσεται] (Rom_9:27/Isa_10:22)

Jesus = “Stumble” Filter!

Isa_8:13 WEB Yahweh of Armies is who you must regard as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.

Isa_8:13 LB Sanctify the Lord Himself; and He shall be your fear.

Isa_8:13 κύριον αὐτὸν ἁγιάσατε, καὶ αὐτὸς ἔσται σου φόβος.

Isa_8:14 WEB He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel, he will be a trap and a snare for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Isa_8:14 And if you shall trust in Him, He shall be to you for a sanctuary; and you shall not come against Him as against a stumbling stone, neither as against the falling of a rock; but the houses of Jacob are in a snare, and those who dwell in Jerusalem are in a pit.

Isa_8:14 καὶ ἐὰν ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ πεποιθὼς ᾖς, ἔσται σοι εἰς ἁγίασμα, καὶ οὐχ ὡς λίθου προσκόμματι συναντήσεσθε αὐτῷ οὐδὲ ὡς πέτρας πτώματι· ὁ δὲ οἶκος Ιακωβ ἐν παγίδι, καὶ ἐν κοιλάσματι ἐγκαθήμενοι ἐν Ιερουσαλημ.

Isa_8:15 WEB Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured."

Isa_8:15 Therefore many among them shall be weak and fall, and be crushed; and they shall draw near, and men shall be taken securely.

Isa_8:15 διὰ τοῦτο ἀδυνατήσουσιν ἐν αὐτοῖς πολλοὶ καὶ πεσοῦνται καὶ συντριβήσονται, καὶ ἐγγιοῦσιν καὶ ἁλώσονται ἄνθρωποι ἐν ἀσφαλείᾳ ὄντες.

Isa_8:16 WEB Wrap up the testimony. Seal the law among my disciples.

Isa_8:16 Then those who seal themselves, that they may not learn the law, shall be made manifest.

Isa_8:16 Τότε φανεροὶ ἔσονται οἱ σφραγιζόμενοι τὸν νόμον τοῦ μὴ μαθεῖν.

1Pe_2:6 CAB For it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I place in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen [ἐκλεκτὸν (chosen-out-with-words)], precious [ἔντιμον (NOT equal!)], and he who believes on Him shall by no means be put to shame." [καταισχυνθῇ]

1Pe_2:6 διότι περιέχει ἐν γραφῇ· ἰδοὺ τίθημι ἐν Σιὼν λίθον ἀκρογωνιαῖον, ἐκλεκτὸν, ἔντιμον, καὶ ὁ πιστεύων ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῇ.

1Pe_2:6 BAδιοτι TSδιο TSκαι περιεχει εν TSBτη γραφη ιδου τιθημι εν σιων λιθον ακρογωνιαιον εκλεκτον εντιμον και ο πιστευων επ αυτω ου μη καταισχυνθη

1Pe_2:7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,"

1Pe_2:7 ὑμῖν οὖν ἡ τιμὴ τοῖς πιστεύουσιν, ἀπιστοῦσιν δὲ λίθον ὃν ἀπεδοκίμασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες, οὗτος ἐγενήθη εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας

1Pe_2:8 and "a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense." They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.

1Pe_2:8 καὶ λίθος προσκόμματος καὶ πέτρα σκανδάλου· οἳ προσκόπτουσι τῷ λόγῳ ἀπειθοῦντες, εἰς ὃ καὶ ἐτέθησαν·

1Pe_2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellent virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

1Pe_2:9 ὑμεῖς δὲ γένος ἐκλεκτόν, βασίλειον ἱεράτευμα, ἔθνος ἅγιον, λαὸς εἰς περιποίησιν, ὅπως τὰς ἀρετὰς ἐξαγγείλητε τοῦ ἐκ σκότους ὑμᾶς καλέσαντος εἰς τὸ θαυμαστὸν αὐτοῦ φῶς·

1Co_1:18 CAB For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

1Co_1:18 ῾Ο λόγος γὰρ ὁ τοῦ σταυροῦ τοῖς μὲν ἀπολλυμένοις μωρία ἐστί, τοῖς δὲ σῳζομένοις ἡμῖν δύναμις Θεοῦ ἐστι.

√ GNT-V

1Co_1:23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness,

1Co_1:23 ἡμεῖς δὲ κηρύσσομεν Χριστὸν ἐσταυρωμένον, ᾿Ιουδαίοις μὲν σκάνδαλον, ῞Ελλησι δὲ μωρίαν,

1Co_1:23 ημεις δε κηρυσσομεν χριστον εσταυρωμενον ιουδαιοις μεν σκανδαλον Aεθνεσιν TSBελλησιν δε μωριαν

Rom_9:32 CAB Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were, by the works of the law. For they stumbled the stone of stumbling.

Rom_9:32 διατί; ὅτι οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως, ἀλλ᾿ ὡς ἐξ ἔργων νόμου· προσέκοψαν γὰρ τῷ λίθῳ τοῦ προσκόμματος,

Rom_9:32 BAδια BAτι TSδιατι οτι ουκ εκ πιστεως αλλ ως εξ εργων TSBνομου προσεκοψαν TSBγαρ τω λιθω του προσκομματος

Rom_9:33 Just as it is written: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling [λίθον προσκόμματος] and rock of offense [πέτραν σκανδάλου], and everyone believing on Him will not be put to shame."

Rom_9:33 καθὼς γέγραπται· ἰδοὺ τίθημι ἐν Σιὼν λίθον προσκόμματος καὶ πέτραν σκανδάλου, καὶ πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ οὐ καταισχυνθήσεται.

Isaiah’s, Peter’s, & Paul’s Remnant Filter Climaxes on Jesus -- Whom we Need for Salvation!

Church ≠ Saving Scandal!

· Are you the remnant, or have you stumbled?

· Scandal-Stumble ≠ “Tooth Fairy” Faith

· Scandal = Counter-Majority-Church-Apostasy

· Remember: where’s the morality to the story of “everyone believing on Him”???

· Answer: Contrasted with “they stumbled the stone of stumbling”

Gal_5:11 CAB And I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? ·In that case [ἄρα] ·the offense [scandle] of the cross [τὸ σκάνδαλον τοῦ σταυροῦ] has been done away with [κατήργηται – dismantled-down].

Gal_5:11 ἐγὼ δέ, ἀδελφοί, εἰ περιτομὴν ἔτι κηρύσσω, τί ἔτι διώκομαι; ἄρα κατήργηται τὸ σκάνδαλον τοῦ σταυροῦ.

√ GNT-V

No Flesh!

This “scandal-insistence” is sooo subversive against the flesh, worldliness, and perverted unbelief…

Stop the Hypocrisy of Hyper-Avoidance!

· Where is your “church scandal”???? (as opposed to “a moral scandal”)

· Preachers keep going back to the exact same old formula: DBR, JC is lord -- never confronting the virtually universal, world-wide apostasy of churchianity!

· STOP “the same old vomit” (stinky-abomination) which God condemns from Isaiah to Revelation!

· Pseudo-restoration-ists get even worse with de-education: Jewish-izers/Sabbatarians (flesh as the answer, Adventists denying eternal hell), JWs (irrational blasphemy), CoC, iCoC (Still fleshly & disobeying OT)

Remember: this is NOT church vs secular worldviews.

“Scandal” = FILTER to make a REMNANT from Jews & Gentile/Church rebellion -- (where the problem of “apostasy” is already stated and presupposed)!

Truth Examples that Scandal Church

Stumbling Block Examples

· Question: What are some MORAL examples (Col_2:23) that scandal church people (Gal_5:11 -- quoted above)???

· Real remnant is… (A) CLEAN (wisdom from above: Jam_3:17) (B) MORAL (as in the whole Bible & obeying ALL) (C) Counter-culture, incl. church

· Depravity & Desolation = Scandal-Stumble blocks -- virtually everyone in church (& the rest of the world) thinks they’re good/saved/loving/wise/spiritual/sufficient

· Depravity & Desolation vs. Flattery & self-boasting

· Begging Required for salvation = BIG scandal for church today

· Doctrine of us -- the right people

· Headcovering -- it says it, church doesn’t do it, and it’s hard for people to have Biblical faith about it

· Divorce and Remarriage Repentance

Where is your faith?

Faith = OBEYING what He SAYS! (NOT what you Feel/see)

· Jesus is the Word of God!

· Word is spoken & you’re commanded to obediently-LISTEN, (not see…)

· Sight-dependent Perversion: Faith in His name based on what YOU SEE = rejected/invalid (Joh_2)

· Valid Faith = OBEYING the CHARACTER of His name, by what He SAYS & DOES

Temporary Lost-ness; Future Salvation

Their Lost State is Only Temporary; Their Salvation Comes in the future…

1Sa_12:22 CAB For the Lord will not cast off His people for His great name's sake, because the Lord graciously took you to Himself for a people.

Lam_3:31-32 CAB For the Lord will not reject forever. 32 ( כ ) CHAPH. For He that has brought down will pity, and that according to the abundance of His mercy.

Isa_54:7-10 CAB For a little while I left you; but with great mercy will I have compassion upon you. 8 In a little wrath I turned away My face from you; but with everlasting mercy will I have compassion upon you, says the Lord that delivers you. 9 From the time of the water of Noah this is My purpose; as I swore to him at that time, saying of the earth, I will no more be angry with you, neither when you are threatened, 10 shall the mountains depart, nor shall your hills be removed; so neither shall My mercy fail you, nor shall the covenant of your peace be at all removed; for the Lord who is gracious to you has spoken it.

- It is clear that this salvation is not “spiritual Israel” but “National Israel”

Psa_77:7 CAB Will the Lord cast off forever? And will He be well pleased no more?

Psa_94:14 CAB For the Lord will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His inheritance;

Jer_31:31-37 CAB Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah. 32 Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day when I took hold of their hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; for they abode not in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. 33 For this is My covenant which I will make with the house of Israel: after those days, says the Lord, I will surely put My laws into their mind, and write them on their hearts. And I will be to them a God, and they shall be to Me a people. 34 And no more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord. For all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins I will remember no more. 35 Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for a light by day, the moon and the stars for a light by night, and makes a roaring in the sea, so that its waves roar: the Lord Almighty is His name: 36 if these ordinances cease from before Me, says the Lord, then shall the family of Israel cease to be a nation before Me forever. 37 Though the sky should be raised to a greater height, says the Lord, and though the ground of the earth should be sunk lower beneath, yet I will not cast off the family of Israel, says the Lord, for all that they have done.

- It is clear that verses Jer_31:31-34 began being fulfilled with the New Covenant (Heb_8:6-13; Heb_10:16-17)

- It is even clearer that as long as we have “the moon…the stars…a roaring in the sea…37 ...the sky…and…the ground of the earth” God says that “these ordinances” prove that “Israel [will not] cease to be a nation before [Him] forever.”

- With the words “a nation” and “Israel,” we know that National Israel is intended as the ultimate object of this salvation described by this passage.

- This covenant started with the mysterious surprise of the salvation of the nations (gentiles), but it climaxes with the very salvation of God’s own physical people in view of Jesus’ return (see Eph_3:1-6; Rev_7:3-12; and also: Rev_14:5)!

Isa_49:14-17 CAB But Zion said, The Lord has forsaken me, and, The Lord has forgotten me. 15 Will a woman forget her child, so as not to have compassion upon the offspring of her womb? But if a woman should even forget these, yet I will not forget you, says the Lord. 16 Behold, I have painted your walls on My hands, and you are continually before Me. 17 And you shall soon be built by those by whom you were destroyed, and they that made you desolate shall go forth from you.

(see all of: Isa_49:14-26)

Amo_9:15 CAB And I will plant them on their land, and they shall no more be plucked up from the land which I have given them, says the Lord God Almighty.

Eternal Salvation Promise

The Promise of Israel’s Salvation Endures Forever!

We have already seen many of these statements in previous passages, but let us lock in on this promise, take it to heart, and not forget it but believe it and preach it for the sake of Truth!

Psa_105:5-11 CAB Remember His wonderful works that He has done; His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth; 6 you seed of Abraham, His servants, you children of Jacob, His elect. [also Psa_105:42-43] 7 He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth. 8 He has remembered His covenant forever, the word which He commanded for a thousand generations; 9 which He established as a covenant to Abraham, and He remembered His oath to Isaac. 10 And He established it to Jacob for an ordinance, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant; 11 saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the line of your inheritance;

Romans 11: All Israel Saved

The Main Promise: All Israel will be saved – in Rom 11

Rom_11:1-32 CAB I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying, 3 "LORD, they killed Your prophets and they torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they are seeking my life"? 4 But what does the divine response say to him? "I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal." 5 Even so then, at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6 And if by grace, it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work. 7 What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded. 8 Just as it is written: "God has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day." 9 And David says: "Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a recompense to them. 10 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see, and their back always be bowed down." 11 I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But by their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy. 12 But if their transgression is the riches of the world, and their defeat is the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness! 13 For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle to the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry, 14 if somehow I may provoke to jealousy my fellow Jews, and I may save some of them. 15 For if their casting away means reconciliation for the world, what will their acceptance be, if not life from the dead? 16 For if the firstfruit is holy, so also the lump; and if the root is holy, so also the branches. 17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and became a partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree, 18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in." 20 Well said. By unbelief they were broken off, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, perhaps* He may not spare you either. 22 Behold then the kindness and severity of God: upon those that fell, severity; but upon you, kindness, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also shall be cut off. 23 And they also, if they do not remain in unbelief, shall be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more shall these, the natural ones, be grafted into their own olive tree? 25 For I do not desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, lest you be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel shall be saved, as it is written: "The Deliverer shall come out of Zion, and He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob; 27 For this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins." 28 As regards to the gospel, they are enemies for your sake; but as regards to election, they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now you were shown mercy through their disobedience, 31 even so these now were disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also might be shown mercy. 32 For God has shut up all to disobedience, that He might show mercy to all.

[* I do not agree with representing “μήπως οὐδὲ” in Greek as “perhaps He may not.” I think it would be better to simply represent it as “He may not”]

Considerations and Notes from Romans 11

· The previous passage speaks so clearly for itself.

· If you believe in something other than a plain and natural reading of this previous passage, then you can be sure sin has found a place in your theology.

· It is absolutely clear that Paul means physical, national Israel in Rom_11:26 when he says “Israel,” since he spends verses Rom_11:1-25 describing Israel as a hard-hearted and lost people:

The “Israel” in Romans 11 is described this way, verse by verse:

Rom_11:3 - Killing God's Prophets and tearing down His alters;

Rom_11:4 - Bowing down to idols;

Rom_11:7 - Receiving blindness and not obtaining salvation;

Rom_11:8 - Receiving a “spirit of stupor” and blindness, and being made deaf;

Rom_11:9 - Falling into a snare, trap, and falling by a stumbling block;

Rom_11:10 - Darkened eyes and bent backs;

Rom_11:11 - Stumbling and transgressing without salvation;

Rom_11:12 - Transgressing and being defeated;

Rom_11:14 - Being not yet saved;

Rom_11:15 - Being cast away and not yet saved;

Rom_11:17-23 - Being severely not spared, broken off and fallen branches by unbelief;

So:

Rom_11:25 - “...blindness in part has happened to Israel...”

- It is obvious that this “Israel” that Paul is talking about is not a saved “spiritual Israel,” but an unsaved fleshly Israel that is blind and given over to sin.

- These words cannot at all speak of “saved Gentiles” in the New Covenant as “spiritual Israel,” since the saved Gentiles Paul describes were not living in sin (for example: Rom_6:17-23)!

- It is concerning this unsaved “Israel” and in this context of utter lostness that Paul says in the very next verse, “all Israel shall be saved” (Rom_11:26).

- If Romans 11 says that “all Israel shall be saved” (Rom_11:26) and you choose to believe that all of national Israel will not be saved, then your damnation is just. You have no excuse since the Scriptures have so clearly spoken and you have directly chosen to rebel against them and believe something else.

- As seen above in verse Rom_11:28, Israel is beloved by Christians for the sake of “election” and the Old Testament patriarchs.

- If the Jews are not beloved by you, then you are not a Christian, because Paul says to the real Christians, “they are beloved” (Rom_11:28-29)

- It is always a struggle for some people to consider Jews “beloved” when they do not believe in God’s promise of their election, and resulting national salvation.

- If they are not yet especially “beloved” by you, then repent and become a real Christian like the ones described in Romans 11!

Promise to those who Pierced

The Promise is to those who Pierced

Zec_12:7-10 KJV The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah. 8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. 10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

Psa_22:16 CAB For many dogs have compassed Me; the assembly of the evildoers has enclosed Me; they pierced My hands and My feet.

Pre-fulfillment: Psa_22:16; Joh_19:37; (Act_2:36-39)

Future Promised Fulfillment: Rev_1:7

Notes on Prophesied Mourning and Salvation

- “Mourning” did not happen among Israel during the pre-fulfillment of Jesus’ crucifixion (Joh_19:37)

- When the future fulfillment comes, it will be spiritual life for the physical nation, and it will cut national Israel to the heart so that they mourn unto repentance (v. Zec_12:10) and salvation (v. Zec_12:7)

Jesus Affirms Promise

And Jesus Himself Certainly Agrees with this Promise to National Israel

Mat_17:10-13 CAB And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?" 11 Jesus answered and said to them, " Elijah truly does come first, and shall restore all things. [that is, the nation of Israel] 12 But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they desired. Thus also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them." 13 Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist.

(also Mar_9:11-13)

Notice What Jesus is saying here!

Although it is clear that the immediate context and application of this passage is the past tense fulfillment of John the Baptist, yet it is equally explicit that Jesus predicts a future fulfillment of “Elijah coming” in the words, “Elijah truly does come first, and shall restore all things,” or as Mark has it: “…Indeed, Elijah is coming first…” (Mar_9:12 CAB). When Jesus says, “shall restore all things” it is very clear that the ultimate fulfillment of “Elijah” is a prophecy that is still in the future which Jesus gives us a surety that it will happen in the words “Elijah truly does come,” and “…Indeed, Elijah is coming first…” and we know from this that it does not just “happen theoretically.” It is enough if we should just believe Jesus’ Words here, but for all affirmation, the book of Revelation confirms this future appearance of Elijah in the end times (Rev_11:3-12).

In speaking about this future coming of Elijah compared with the past coming of Elijah, Jesus points out that, Elijah does truly have to come and restore before Jesus can return to the earth, yet Jesus still shows that His first advent happened to also be legitimate as much as His future second coming, since it happened that the “Elijah” did actually already come in John the Baptist before Jesus Himself began His own birth and ministry before the people.

Jesus never even comes close to implying that the scribes or the disciples were wrong about their conclusions in this matter of a future restoration of Israel, but instead completely agrees in passing while teaching deeper, more immediate truths for the New Covenant:

Act_1:6-8 CAB Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, "Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" 7 And He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has placed in His own authority. 8 But you shall receive power…

It is clear and unmistakable that Jesus completely agrees with their expectation of a physical earthly kingdom, and with physical, national Israel being restored at that time. Jesus never says anything like, “No, I will never restore the kingdom to Israel!” But instead, His disciples ask ‘what time will you restore,’ and Jesus answers, ‘you cannot know what time,’ then Jesus proceeds to tell them what spiritual things they must focus on and occupy their hearts with for the present time until that time came when He would “restore the kingdom to Israel.” If Jesus says, ‘you cannot know what time,’ it very clearly indicates that there is indeed a time that God has in mind of doing this very promise that their hearts are clinging to. Jesus is not being a cheap “spiritual” liar by leading His disciples on to believe that their nation would one day be saved only to switch up the promise later to a “spiritual Israel” that will alone be saved.

Note

It goes without saying and it is very clear that “restoring Israel” in this passage is not talking about “Spiritual Israel” because Jesus was going to immediately “restore” the nations (spiritually) at this time with the Gospel of a heavenly kingdom that He would quickly give them. If Jesus speaks of a “not at this time” restoration, it is clear that this is a promise for the future salvation which is not immediately pertinent with the salvation of the nations which was just around the corner.

Salvation is from the Jews

Joh_4:22 – Salvation is from the Jews

Considerations

· By saying “Salvation is from the Jews” Jesus is honoring the superiority of the physical parable, not the vanity of the present apostasy

· We ought to join with Jesus in glorifying this physical parable and honor what God has done, not fight against it

· If we glory in the physical example in truth, then we (with Jesus) will be catapulted in to truly honoring God by the Spirit

· The purpose of Israel has always been to be a parable to the nations

· We cannot reasonably claim to understand how to accomplish righteousness by spiritual things if we fail to first acknowledge and learn the basic physical parable of carnal things in national Israel

· If we say that Israel is no longer significant before God as a benefit to us, then we say that we don’t actually need the parable that God has insistently given us for holiness and obedience

· It is hypocritical to claim that we are walking according to holiness and truth if we rebel and devalue the very symbol of holiness that God made Israel into for us

SPIRITUAL Salvation of Abraham’s Seed

Gal_4:28 NKJV Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.

Boasting Without Virtue

The apostate Jews tried to boast and flatter themselves as Abraham's seed without holding themselves to the sacrificial integrity of doing righteousness like the works of Abraham

The Integrity of the New Covenant

You need to demand higher standards of yourself if you're going to claim the privilege of being Jewish, just like you need to demand even higher standards if you're going to claim that you really are a new creation experiencing the New Covenant (Rom_2, etc.)

Benefits without Proof = Flattery

Boasting and benefits without paying the price is definitely a recipe of flattering yourself just like the apostate Jews

Isa_51:1 LB “Listen to Me, all you that follow after righteousness, and seek the Lord; look to the solid rock [πέτραν ^N-ASF], which you have hewn, and to the hole of the pit which you have dug.

Isa_51:1 Ἀκούσατέ μου, οἱ διώκοντες τὸ δίκαιον καὶ ζητοῦντες τὸν κύριον, ἐμβλέψατε εἰς τὴν στερεὰν πέτραν ^N-ASF, ἣν ἐλατομήσατε, καὶ εἰς τὸν βόθυνον τοῦ λάκκου, ὃν ὠρύξατε.

Isa_51:2 WEB Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one [אחד – lit. one; fig. alone ^KJV (H259 = same as Deu_6, etc.)] I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.

Isa_51:2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for he was alone when I called him, and blessed him, and loved him, and multiplied him.

Isa_51:2 ἐμβλέψατε εἰς Αβρααμ τὸν πατέρα ὑμῶν καὶ εἰς Σαρραν τὴν ὠδίνουσαν ὑμᾶς· ὅτι εἷς ἦν, καὶ ἐκάλεσα αὐτὸν καὶ εὐλόγησα αὐτὸν καὶ ἠγάπησα αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπλήθυνα αὐτόν.

Isa_51:2 NKJV Look to Abraham your father, And to Sarah who bore you…

Benefits

· “I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many”

Conditions/Costs

· LOOK! (Isa_51:1-2)

· Chase after righteousness! (Isa_51:1)

· Seek the monotheistic Lord

· Consider that: Abraham = Rock, just like Simon was named “Perter”/“Rock” & Jesus = Rock -- this is NOT “Christ Alone”! Because Jesus is “rock” WITH Abraham & Peter!

· Be True/Faithful to Abraham & Sarah! -- being ONE, just like God is ONE in Deu_6 (i.e. Monotheism)

· Doctrine of US = required <<<< NEW

Abraham is Imitate-able

Abraham = Ideal/Model Hebrew (i.e. he’s holy: Gen_17:1), Israelite (Deu_5; 6, 30), & Disciple (Deu_5:1 Greek …Hear & learn to DO!; -- (same as Mat_28:18-20; (Mar_16:15-18); Luk_14:25-35; etc.)

Hebrew ≈ Eber in Gen_10 – 11 * -- Abraham also “crossed over” (Eber-ed/Hebrew-ed) the same river of separation/un-worldliness, just like Eber, for holiness sake

>>Scrip: /\/\\/\/

See: Eber (Reminder)

Jesus = Son of Abraham

Comp. Jesus = Son of Abraham! & Zacchaeus = a Son of Abraham!

ES: The Genealogy of Jesus Christ

Mat_1:1 LSV The scroll of the birth of Jesus Christ, Son of David, Son of Abraham.

Mat_1:1  Scroll of{become-sis[i.e. state of becoming]} of{Jesus, Anointed, son [of-]David, son [of-]Abraham}.

Mat_1:1 βιβλος γενεσεως ιησου χριστου υιου δαυιδ ναβ [δαβιδ] τσ υιου αβρααμ 

Before going into the details of the genealogy Matthew gives the summary of Jesus's essence as being the son of David and Abraham

Genesis Foreshadows the Law

Analogy: Ham is indirectly cursed through Canaan - which foreshadows the conquest of Canaan to wipe these worst sinners out

So also...

Abraham foreshadows the faithfulness which is later commanded to all of Israel -- from Genesis to Deuteronomy

So…

Israelites are supposed to imitate Abraham to be the ideal-model Israelite

The Point: We need to be like Abraham to be True and avoid all hypocrisy and flattery like apostate Jews (Joh_8:33-41)!

Benefits: 16 lines

·Costs = 4x Benefits (in Deu_5, 6, & 30)

·45 = 309.09% more than 11 (approximately)

·Often 300%+ more Costs than Benefits in monotheism

Costs Before Benefits

Maintain Statistical Integrity -- no Vivid Misleading

· Statistically Inconsistent: Notice that churches spend the vast majority of time boasting in benefits, but Monotheism majors on Proof/Sacrifice/Cost -- it is the opposite!

· Statistical misrepresentations ≈ Vivid Misleading -- logical falacy

· Sacrifice-Focused: Truth spends the vast majority of its time on costs, requirements, virtues, and proof.

· Good Message in OT: Remember: Deu_6 is quoted by Jesus & Deu_30 is the New Covenant! -- this is NOT just a tendency of the law, this is the scientific mentality and characteristic of all monotheism. -- if you doubt that for a moment, just wait until we get to the Sermon on the Mount!

· Logical Sequence of Benefits: Notice that when you prioritize/put costs before benefits, you have proven that you are True, and only after this integrity are the benefits legitimate to celebrate and rejoice in!

Gen_18:17 NKJV And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?

Amo_3:7 WEB Surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.

Costs of Friendship with God

Moses -- God’s Friend

Exo_33:10 WEB And all the people saw the pillar of the cloud standing by the door of the tabernacle, and all the people stood and worshipped, everyone at the door of his tent.

Exo_33:10 καὶ ἑώρα πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τὸν στῦλον τῆς νεφέλης ἑστῶτα ἐπὶ τῆς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς, καὶ στάντες πᾶς ὁ λαὸς προσεκύνησαν ἕκαστος ἀπὸ τῆς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς αὐτοῦ.

Exo_33:11 LB Yahweh spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn't depart out of the Tent.

Exo_33:11 And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as if one should speak to his friend; and he retired into the camp: but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle.

Exo_33:11 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν ἐνώπιος ἐνωπίῳ, ὡς εἴ τις λαλήσει πρὸς τὸν ἑαυτοῦ φίλον. καὶ ἀπελύετο εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν, ὁ δὲ θεράπων Ἰησοῦς υἱὸς Ναυη νέος οὐκ ἐξεπορεύετο ἐκ τῆς σκηνῆς.

Exo_33:11 NKJV So the LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend.

Benefits

· Friendship

· Hearing God in Prayer!

Cost

· Moses & Joshua were obsessed with knowing God in prayer!

· AGREE with God’s anti-flesh Truth despite all the rebels saying that they’re holy (Num_16)!

Example:

Exo_33:3 – You are a stiff necked people (Exo_32:9; Exo_33:3, Exo_33:5)

Exo_32:9 NKJV And the LORD said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and indeed it is a stiff-necked people!”

Exo_33:3 NKJV …for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you on the way.

Exo_33:5 NKJV …you are a stiff-necked people. I could come up into your midst in one moment and consume you.

Exo_34:9 NKJV …for it is a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin.

Deu_9:6 NKJV Know, therefore, that the LORD your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.

Deu_9:13 NKJV …I have seen this people, and indeed they are a stiff-necked people.

2Ch_30:8 NKJV Now do not be stiff-necked, as your fathers were…

Act_7:51 NKJV You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.

Psa_81:12 NKJV So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, to walk in their own counsels.

Zec_7:11 NKJV But they refused to heed, shrugged their shoulders, and stopped their ears so that they could not hear.

Zec_7:12 NKJV Yes, they made their hearts like flint…

Upright, Fear, Obey -- Get Secret Friendship

(Not about Abraham, but reinforces the biblical concept of intimate covenant friendship with God.)

Psa_25:14 NKJV The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant.

Pro_3:32 NKJV For the perverse person is an abomination to the LORD, but His secret counsel is with the upright.

Joh_15:14 NKJV You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

Joh_15:15 NKJV No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

Non-Worldliness!!! (reminder)

Jam_4:4 – Friendship with world = hatred of God

Jas_4:3 CAB You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend it in gratifying your lusts.

Jas_4:3 αἰτεῖτε καὶ οὐ λαμβάνετε, διότι κακῶς αἰτεῖσθε, ἵνα ἐν ταῖς ἡδοναῖς ὑμῶν δαπανήσητε.

Jas_4:4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world is constituted an enemy of God.

Jas_4:4 μοιχὶ καὶ μοιχαλίδες, οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι ἡ φιλία τοῦ κόσμου ἔχθρα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν; ὃς ἃν οὖν βουληθῇ φίλος εἶναι τοῦ κόσμου, ἐχθρὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ καθίσταται.

Jam_4:4 NKJV Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

>>Scrip: ES

Compare:

1Jn_2:15 NKJV Do not love the world or the things in the world…

1Jn_2:16 NKJV For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

1Jn_2:17 NKJV And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

Rom_12:2 NKJV And do not be conformed to this world…

Gal_6:14 NKJV …by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

Joh_15:19 NKJV If you were of the world, the world would love its own…

Tit_2:12 NKJV Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age.

See: WOW

Abraham = Disciple: Israelites need to be discipled to become a listener like Abraham, which presupposes Abraham was the ideal disciple who had already listened to God's voice

The Point: Don’t forget these COSTS of Abraham’s NC “Seed” Promise, because boasting/self-commendation without sacrificing/Proving = self-flattering of the apostate Jews, who persecuted Jesus, Paul, & the rest of the apostles

Self-flattery persecutes confrontation, but the righteous repent, believe, to hear and do!

Only = One-of-a-Kind (Heb to Greek)

“Only” (MT Hebrew: Gen_22:2, Gen_22:12, Gen_22:16) = One-of-a-Kind (Greek: Heb_11:17)

One-of-a-Kind = Joh_3:16; Luk_7:12; Jdg_11:34 (Jepthah's daughter); Jer_6:26; Amo_8:10; Zec_12:10; etc. (Same Greek, and/or sometimes Hebrew)

See: WS > H3173 (more cross-references about soul & lonely)

WS on H3173 ָיִחיד

yāḥiyḏ: An adjective meaning sole, only, solitary. This word is frequently used to refer to an only child. Isaac was Abraham's only son by Sarah (Gen_22:2, Gen_22:12, Gen_22:16). Jepthah's daughter was his only child, who came running out to greet him after his vow to sacrifice the first thing to come out of his door (Jdg_11:34). The father of an only child began teaching him wisdom when he was very young (Pro_4:3). Mourning an only child was considered an especially grievous sorrow (Jer_6:26; Amo_8:10; Zec_12:10). The feminine form is used parallel to life or soul, portraying the precious, only life we are given (Psa_22:20 [21]; Psa_35:17). It is also used to mean lonely or alone (Psa_25:16; Psa_68:6 [7]). See the related Hebrew root yāḥaḏ (H3161).

Gen_24:3-4; Eph_5:25-27 – Bride secured for the Son

Gen_24:63; 1Th_4:17 – Bride meets the son in the field/air

[* Golgotha: Mat_27:33; Mar_15:22; Luk_23:33; Joh_19:17; Heb_13:12]

Gen_26:2-5; Joh_6:38 – Obedient son who does the father’s will

Gen_22:14; Joh_8:56 – God’s provision seen on the mount

Heb_11:17 CAB By faith Abraham, when he was tested [πειραζόμενος; Gen_22:1: ἐπείραζεν τὸν Αβρααμ], had offered up Isaac, and he that received the promises offered up his only begotten [τὸν μονογενῆ; Heb_11:17 = Gen_22 MT (not LXX)] son,

Heb_11:17 Πίστει προσενήνοχεν ᾿Αβραὰμ τὸν ᾿Ισαὰκ πειραζόμενος, καὶ τὸν μονογενῆ προσέφερεν ὁ τὰς ἐπαγγελίας ἀναδεξάμενος,

Heb_11:18 of whom it was spoken, "In Isaac your seed shall be called," [Rom_9:7/Heb_11:18 = Gen_21:12 LXX: ἐν ᾿Ισαὰκ κληθήσεταί σοι σπέρμα]

Heb_11:18 πρὸς ὃν ἐλαλήθη ὅτι ἐν ᾿Ισαὰκ κληθήσεταί σοι σπέρμα,

Heb_11:18 προς ον ελαληθη οτι εν ισαακ κληθησεται σοι σπερμα

Heb_11:19 considering that even from the dead, God was able to raise him up, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.

Heb_11:19 λογισάμενος ὅτι καὶ ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐγείρειν δυνατὸς ὁ Θεός· ὅθεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐν παραβολῇ ἐκομίσατο.

√ GNT-V

Gal_3:8 CAB And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying that, "In you all the nations shall be blessed." [Gen_22:18]

Jephthah -- Female Version of Isaac

This “only begotten” is paralleled with Jephthah… (Jdg_11:34) who is also praised by name in the Hall of Faith (Heb_11:32) along with Abraham (Heb_11:17 )

Heb_11:32 And what more should I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, both Barak and Samson and Jephthah, both David and Samuel and the prophets:

Heb_11:32 Καὶ τί ἔτι λέγω; ἐπιλείψει γὰρ με διηγούμενον ὁ χρόνος περὶ Γεδεών, Βαράκ τε καὶ Σαμψών καὶ ᾿Ιεφθάε, Δαυΐδ τε καὶ Σαμουὴλ καὶ τῶν προφητῶν,

Heb_11:32 και τι ετι λεγω επιλειψει TSBγαρ με Aγαρ διηγουμενον ο χρονος περι γεδεων βαρακ TSBτε TSBκαι σαμψων TSBκαι ιεφθαε BAδαυιδ TSδαβιδ τε και σαμουηλ και των προφητων

…

Heb_11:38 of whom the world was not worthy, wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth.

Heb_11:38 ὧν οὐκ ἦν ἄξιος ὁ κόσμος, ἐν ἐρημίαις πλανώμενοι καὶ ὄρεσι καὶ σπηλαίοις καὶ ταῖς ὀπαῖς τῆς γῆς.

Heb_11:38 ων ουκ ην αξιος ο κοσμος Aεπι TSBεν ερημιαις πλανωμενοι και ορεσιν και σπηλαιοις και ταις οπαις της γης

SACRIFICE -- Applied to US!

· Are you forsaking ALL?

· Forsaking your own religion -- independent guidance spirits?

· Demonized kid protested to me: “What if someone asked you to give up what you though was god speaking to you?” -- that’s exactly the point!!! That’s precisely and exactly what the righteous always have done, and exactly what Monotheism is!

· Forsaking your own faith is (in fact) the core of forsaking all -- even being thrown into prison, the flesh still hold on…!

· Let your faith be proven wrong -- if it is True God Himself will insistently raise it from the dead

· Do we trust God with our faith and hope?

· Are you giving up your right to your own faith???

· Abraham gave up his orthodox faith in his special son… which is far more canonical and impressive than what sad delusions we often hold onto today

Obedience = Good Message -- in Abraham

Hearing = DO (reminders)

Doers of the Word

Jas_1:22 CAB But become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

Jas_1:22 Γίνεσθε δὲ ποιηταὶ λόγου καὶ μὴ μόνον ἀκροαταὶ παραλογιζόμενοι ἑαυτούς.

Jas_1:22 γινεσθε δε ποιηται λογου και μη μονον ακροαται παραλογιζομενοι εαυτους

Jas_1:23 Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;

Jas_1:23 ὅτι εἴ τις ἀκροατὴς λόγου ἐστὶ καὶ οὐ ποιητής, οὗτος ἔοικεν ἀνδρὶ κατανοοῦντι τὸ πρόσωπον τῆς γενέσεως αὐτοῦ ἐν ἐσόπτρῳ·

Jas_1:23 οτι ει τις ακροατης λογου εστιν και ου ποιητης ουτος εοικεν ανδρι κατανοουντι το προσωπον της γενεσεως αυτου εν εσοπτρω

Jas_1:24 for he observed himself and has gone away, and immediately forgot what sort of man he was.

Jas_1:24 κατενόησε γὰρ ἑαυτὸν καὶ ἀπελήλυθε, καὶ εὐθέως ἐπελάθετο ὁποῖος ἦν.

Jas_1:24 κατενοησεν γαρ εαυτον και απεληλυθεν και ευθεως επελαθετο οποιος ην

Jas_1:25 But the one who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one shall be blessed in what he does.

Jas_1:25 ὁ δὲ παρακύψας εἰς νόμον τέλειον τὸν τῆς ἐλευθερίας καὶ παραμείνας, οὗτος οὐκ ἀκροατὴς ἐπιλησμονῆς γενόμενος, ἀλλὰ ποιητὴς ἔργου, οὗτος μακάριος ἐν τῇ ποιήσει αὐτοῦ ἔσται.

Jas_1:25 ο δε παρακυψας εις νομον τελειον τον της ελευθεριας και παραμεινας TSBουτος ουκ ακροατης επιλησμονης γενομενος αλλα ποιητης εργου ουτος μακαριος εν τη ποιησει αυτου εσται

BTW: Romans ≈ James

DOERS Are Righteous-ified

>>Scrip: READ

Rom_2:13 (for not the hearers of the law are righteous with God, but the doers of the law shall be justified;

Rom_2:13 οὐ γὰρ οἱ ἀκροαταὶ τοῦ νόμου δίκαιοι παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ, ἀλλ᾿ οἱ ποιηταὶ τοῦ νόμου δικαιωθήσονται.

Rom_2:13 ου γαρ οι ακροαται TSBτου νομου δικαιοι παρα Aτω TSBτω θεω αλλ οι ποιηται TSBτου νομου δικαιωθησονται

Rom_2:13 NKJV For not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified.

SUM: Rom_2:13 – It’s not the hearers who are justified before/next to God, but the doers!

Mat_7:21 NKJV Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord, Lord,” shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

Mat_7:24 NKJV Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Joh_13:17 NKJV If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

Jam_1:22 NKJV But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

Jam_1:25 NKJV But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it… this one will be blessed in what he does.

1Jn_2:3 NKJV Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.

1Jn_3:7 NKJV Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.

But Returning to James…

(A’) Faith Without Works is Dead!

Jas_2:17 CAB Thus also that faith, if it does not have works, is dead, being by itself

Jas_2:17 οὕτω καὶ ἡ πίστις, ἐὰν μὴ ἔργα ἔχῃ νεκρά ἐστι καθ᾿ ἑαυτήν.

Jas_2:17 ουτως και η πιστις εαν μη TSBεργα εχη Aεργα νεκρα εστιν καθ εαυτην

(B) Works, Not Faith Alone

A man is justified by works, and not by faith alone

Jas_2:21 CAB Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? [Gen_22]

Jas_2:21 ᾿Αβραὰμ ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων ἐδικαιώθη, ἀνενέγκας ᾿Ισαὰκ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον;

Jas_2:21 αβρααμ ο πατηρ ημων ουκ εξ εργων εδικαιωθη ανενεγκας ισαακ τον υιον αυτου επι το θυσιαστηριον

Jas_2:22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by means of his works faith was made perfect?

Jas_2:22 βλέπεις ὅτι ἡ πίστις συνήργει τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἔργων ἡ πίστις ἐτελειώθη,

Jas_2:22 βλεπεις οτι η πιστις συνηργει τοις εργοις αυτου και εκ των εργων η πιστις ετελειωθη

Jas_2:23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." [Gen_15:6, Rom_4:3-6, Rom_4:10, Rom_4:11, Rom_4:22-24, Gal_3:6] And he was called a friend [φίλος] of God. [Loved-Firend: Isa_41:8 (ἠγάπησα); 2Ch_20:7 (Αβρααμ τῷ ἠγαπημένῳ σου)]

Jas_2:23 καὶ ἐπληρώθη ἡ γραφὴ ἡ λέγουσα· ἐπίστευσεν δὲ ᾿Αβραὰμ τῷ Θεῷ, καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ εἰς δικαιοσύνην, καὶ φίλος Θεοῦ ἐκλήθη.

Jas_2:23 και επληρωθη η γραφη η λεγουσα επιστευσεν δε αβρααμ τω θεω και ελογισθη αυτω εις δικαιοσυνην και φιλος θεου εκληθη

Jas_2:24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

Jas_2:24 ὁρᾶτε τοίνυν ὅτι ἐξ ἔργων δικαιοῦται ἄνθρωπος καὶ οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως μόνον.

Jas_2:24 ορατε TSBτοινυν οτι εξ εργων δικαιουται ανθρωπος και ουκ εκ πιστεως μονον

Initial Justifying Faith Came First

Rom_4:2 NKJV For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

Rom_4:3 NKJV For what does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

Rom_4:18 NKJV Who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, So shall your descendants be.

(A’’) Faith Without Works is Dead!

Jas_2:26 CAB For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Jas_2:26 ὥσπερ γὰρ τὸ σῶμα χωρὶς πνεύματος νεκρόν ἐστιν, οὕτω καὶ ἡ πίστις χωρὶς τῶν ἔργων νεκρά ἐστι.

Jas_2:26 ωσπερ γαρ το σωμα χωρις πνευματος νεκρον εστιν ουτως και η πιστις χωρις TSBτων εργων νεκρα εστιν

Step Followers = Promised Faithful <<<<

Faithful Step Followers = Promised

CAB: The Promise Realized Through Faith

Rom_4:11 And he received the sign [σημεῖον] of circumcision, a seal [σφραγῖδα] of the righteousness of the faith which he had while in uncircumcision, so that he should be the father of all those that believe, although uncircumcised, so that righteousness should also ·be imputed [εἰς τὸ λογισθῆναι] to them,

Rom_4:11 καὶ σημεῖον ἔλαβε περιτομῆς, σφραγῖδα τῆς δικαιοσύνης τῆς πίστεως τῆς ἐν τῇ ἀκροβυστίᾳ, εἰς τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν πατέρα πάντων τῶν πιστευόντων δι᾿ ἀκροβυστίας, εἰς τὸ λογισθῆναι καὶ αὐτοῖς τὴν δικαιοσύνην,

Rom_4:11 και σημειον ελαβεν περιτομης σφραγιδα της δικαιοσυνης της πιστεως της εν τη ακροβυστια εις το ειναι αυτον πατερα παντων των πιστευοντων δι ακροβυστιας εις το λογισθηναι Aκαι TSBκαι αυτοις Aτην TSBτην δικαιοσυνην

Rom_4:11 NKJV and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith…that he might be the father of all those who believe…

Rom_4:12 and the father of circumcision to those not only of circumcision, but also to those following [marching] in the steps of the faith [τοῖς στοιχοῦσι * τοῖς ἴχνεσι (* Greek: Act_21:24 Rom_4:12; Gal_5:25; Gal_6:16; Php_3:16); fig. who also walk in the steps of the faith ^NKJV] which our father Abraham had while in uncircumcision.

Rom_4:12 καὶ πατέρα περιτομῆς τοῖς οὐκ ἐκ περιτομῆς μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῖς στοιχοῦσι τοῖς ἴχνεσι τῆς ἐν ἀκροβυστίᾳ πίστεως τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν ᾿Αβραάμ.

Rom_4:12 και πατερα περιτομης τοις ουκ εκ περιτομης μονον αλλα και τοις στοιχουσιν τοις ιχνεσιν της Bπιστεως Bτης εν TSBτη ακροβυστια TSAπιστεως του πατρος ημων αβρααμ

Rom_4:12 NKJV and the father of circumcision to those…who also walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had…

Rom_4:13 For the promise that he should be heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Rom_4:13 Οὐ γὰρ διὰ νόμου ἡ ἐπαγγελία τῷ ᾿Αβραὰμ ἢ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ, τὸ κληρονόμον αὐτὸν εἶναι τοῦ κόσμου, ἀλλὰ διὰ δικαιοσύνης πίστεως.

√ GNT-V

Rom_4:13 NKJV For the promise… was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Rom_4:16 NKJV …Abraham, who is the father of us all [Αβραάμ, ὅς ἐστι πατὴρ πάντων ἡμῶν,]

√ GNT-V

Conditions/Costs:

· Have faith (Rom_4:13) to follow/march in Abraham’s steps (Rom_4:12)

· DO the Works of Abraham! (Joh_8:39)

· Do whatever God says -- even if it sounds as crazy as offering up your son on Mount Mariah

See: RiFi > Abraham & Lot Were Rich?

Righteous-Finances.htm#AbrahamAndLotWereRich

The Point: What is your sacrifice to Forsake ALL???

Virtue Summaries of Abraham

1/17/26-1/18/26

-- Under Construction --

Humility = Less than Others

Gen_13:9 — Lets Lot choose first -- peace maker = less than others

Gen_18:3 — Bows to 3 strangers (with generous hospitality)

So…

Collaboratively Speaking:

Choose/prioritize peace over personal advantage/gain/goals (Gen_13:9)

(Be radically generous, not self-protective)

Do hospitality! (Gen_18:3; Heb_13:2)

God's Chosen Friend

Isa_41:8 — Abraham = God’s chosen friend

2Ch_20:7 — covenant friend of God (remembered/memorialized)

Faith = Saving Morality & Endurance

Rom_4:3 — Believed God & "word-ed"/counted into righteous

Rom_4:20-21 — Trusts God’s word for Isaac despite impossibility

Neh_9:7-8 — Faithful to covenant promise (that is REAL faith!)

Gal_3:6 — Pattern of saving faith into righteousness

& comp. Sacrifice below...

So…

Collaboratively Speaking:

Be consistently faithful, not sporadic (Neh_9:8)

Live as God’s loyal friend (Isa_41:8)

Leave a legacy of covenant faith (2Ch_20:7)

Respond when God initiates (Act_7:2)

Become a model of true belief (Gal_3:6; Rom_4:3)

Sacrifice = Forsake ALL

Gen_11:31 — Leaves Ur of the Chaldees (land & family) (Gen_15:7; Neh_9:7; Act_7:2-4)

Gen_12:1/Heb_11:8 — Leaves Haran (land & family) at God’s command (2nd Mesopotamia Forsaking)

Gen_14:23 — Sodom’s spoils Denied to honor God/Cleanness

Gen_15:1-6 — Believes God’s promise of a future son

Gen_22:12 — Isaac offered up (in submission to God)

Heb_11:17 — Isaac offered, trusting God’s power to raise

Jam_2:20-24 — Righteous-ified by REAL faith & works -- offering Isaac

So…

Collaboratively Speaking:

Chose God over security/safety/comfort/familiarity & family ties/relationships (Gen_12:1, etc.)

Refuse/Despise/Push-away wealth/money that could steal God’s glory / Defile your life/hope (Gen_14:23)

Pass God’s hardest tests through obedience (Gen_22:12; Heb_11:17)

Prove faith through costly action (Jam_2:21)

[Non-Collaboratively:]

Most church people can’t even forsake dirty friendships to be around the righteous, much less are they ‘offering up their special son’ (even in a logical or metaphysical way), or forsaking all in any real way to get Truth…

Love = Saving People

Gen_18:23 — Pleads for Sodom’s righteous few (intercession)

Gen_19:29 — Lot saved through Abraham's prayers

So…

[Non-Collaboratively:]

· Never-mind Sodom’s lust-love / Feelings love…!

· Love others enough to (A) pray down heaven & (B) have an answer to save them!

· Loving = Saving -- & praying with tears until you know how!

· Prayerfully endure until you get promises (Gen_15:1-6; Rom_4:19-21)

Rom_4:19 CAB And not weakening in faith, he did not consider his own body, already having been worn out (being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb,

Rom_4:19 καὶ μὴ ἀσθενήσας τῇ πίστει οὐ κατενόησε τὸ ἑαυτοῦ σῶμα ἤδη νενεκρωμένον, ἑκατονταέτης που ὑπάρχων, καὶ τὴν νέκρωσιν τῆς μήτρας Σάρρας·

Rom_4:19 και μη ασθενησας τη πιστει TSBου κατενοησεν το εαυτου σωμα Aηδη TSBηδη νενεκρωμενον εκατονταετης που υπαρχων και την νεκρωσιν της μητρας σαρρας

Rom_4:20 he did not waver at the promise of God in unbelief, but was empowered by faith, giving glory to God,

Rom_4:20 εἰς δὲ τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ Θεοῦ οὐ διεκρίθη τῇ ἀπιστίᾳ, ἀλλ᾿ ἐνεδυναμώθη τῇ πίστει, δοὺς δόξαν τῷ Θεῷ,

Rom_4:20 εις δε την επαγγελιαν του θεου ου διεκριθη τη απιστια αλλ ενεδυναμωθη τη πιστει δους δοξαν τω θεω

Rom_4:21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to do.

Rom_4:21 καὶ πληροφορηθεὶς ὅτι ὃ ἐπήγγελται δυνατός ἐστι καὶ ποιῆσαι.

√ GNT-V

1Ti_4:16 – Save Self & Hearers!

1Ti_4:16 CAB Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for by doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

1Ti_4:16 GHT Be-having/holding-upon to{yourself} and to{the teaching-ia}. Be-remaining-upon to{same[plural]}, for doing the-same also you-will-save yourself and the hearing of{you}.

1Ti_4:16 ἔπεχε σεαυτῷ καὶ τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ, ἐπίμενε αὐτοῖς· τοῦτο γὰρ ποιῶν καὶ σεαυτὸν σώσεις καὶ τοὺς ἀκούοντάς σου.

√ GNT-V

Abraham ≠ a rebellious apostate or a defiled hypocrite!

Valid, Hard-core, Abraham-obedience is the ONLY way we can have assurance of God's promises -- NO hypocrisy, flattery, or boasting in benefits without Sacrifice

---------------

Zacchaeus = a Son of Abraham!

Other date(s); 1/18/26

Comp. Jesus = Son of Abraham! & Zacchaeus = a Son of Abraham!

Luk_19:7 But when they saw it, they all were complaining, saying, "He has gone to be a guest with a sinful man."

Luk_19:7 καὶ ἰδόντες πάντες διεγόγγυζον λέγοντες ὅτι παρὰ ἁμαρτωλῷ ἀνδρὶ εἰσῆλθε καταλῦσαι.

Luk_19:7 και ιδοντες BAπαντες TSαπαντες διεγογγυζον λεγοντες οτι παρα αμαρτωλω ανδρι εισηλθεν καταλυσαι

Luk_19:8 Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord, I give half of my possessions to the poor; and if I have extorted anything from anyone, I restore fourfold."

Luk_19:8 σταθεὶς δὲ Ζακχαῖος εἶπε πρὸς τὸν Κύριον· ἰδοὺ τὰ ἡμίση τῶν ὑπαρχόντων μου, Κύριε, δίδωμι τοῖς πτωχοῖς, καὶ εἴ τινός τι ἐσυκοφάντησα, ἀποδίδωμι τετραπλοῦν.

Luk_19:8 σταθεις δε ζακχαιος ειπεν προς τον κυριον ιδου τα Aημισια Aμου TSBημιση των υπαρχοντων TSBμου κυριε TSBδιδωμι τοις πτωχοις Aδιδωμι και ει τινος τι εσυκοφαντησα αποδιδωμι τετραπλουν

Luk_19:9 And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham;

Luk_19:9 εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς ὅτι σήμερον σωτηρία τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ ἐγένετο, καθότι καὶ αὐτὸς υἱὸς ᾿Αβραάμ ἐστιν·

√ GNT-V

Luk_19:9 LSV And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation came to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;

Just like Jesus = Son of Abraham!, so also now Zacchaeus = a Son of Abraham!

The Point: What if you were sacrificial like Zacchaeus and Jesus said about you, that you were as saved son of Abraham?

Applications

11/23/25; 11/30/25; 12/6/25-12/7/25

See: SRP > Justified AND Sinful?

Sin-Repentance-Perfection.htm#JustifiedANDSinful

Apostasy Paralleled

· We are just like the Jews in so many ways today...

Flattery Lacks Virtue of Salvation

W so much Flattery, it is no wonder why we lack...

· Begging, real value,

· Love

· Fully looking just like the Bible

No More Laziness!

· Non begging

· Self-Flattering, boasting

· Non urgency

LISTEN

Main-leading cost: LISTEN obediently like Abraham, to be truly blessed as Abraham's children!

do we and or church people listen to God today at all like Abraham?

Sacrifice -- No Matter What the Cost!

When God told Abraham to sacrifice his son do we today…

· happily accept head coverings,

· remarriage repentance,

· BOND, and

· all of the other controversial forsake all commandments throughout the Sermon on the Mount and the rest of the Bible?

12/6/25

Don't fail the monotheistic mission of sin-confrontation along with the self-flattering and apostating Jews and salvation boasting church people!

Stop all boasting and self-flattery about benefits without proof and sacrifice.

Stop thinking you're right while simultaneously sinning.

Stop thinking you're part of God's chosen people while still being fleshly.

Don't claim the circumcision of Anointed One if you're not dying to all sinning by spiritual, logical crucifixion

Don't even dare to claim association with Abraham unless you're walking in his steps!

Are you forsaking all along with Abraham?

>>>See [& update]: DTA > Forsake All

Are you sacrificing all relationships to get discipled into the New Covenant?

Don't let your flesh quickly say yes before you've proven that you are simultaneously obeying all Bible verses

Because that's flattery and boasting to congratulate yourself before you graduate and to exhibit premature arrival syndrome.

The gentiles who obey Noah have a part in the world to come, but every Jew who does not obey Moses has no part in God's people in this life or in the age to come, but his part in gehena. This is some very basic orthodoxy that even a reverent Jew will agree with.
