TO THE JEW FIRST, THEN TO THE GENTILES AND WHY IT HAD TO BE SO?

TO THE JEW FIRST, THEN TO THE GENTILES AND WHY IT HAD TO BE SO?

Although the Romans had many Gods, they were too anti-Jewish to accept someone in sandals and a corn sac cloak rocking up, claiming to be here to save them; they would have fed Him straight to the lions. So now, read God’s strategy that had the Romans literally seeking out the man that Jesus sent as the ensign to call the Gentiles. Isa 11:10. Although the Jews believe that anyone who is not a Jew is a Gentile, that is wrong. As I said, the first mention of Gentiles is in Genesis 10:5 KJV, the version that was translated specifically for the Gentiles in Europe, and the only Bible that confirms everything I have been inspired to tell you.

TO THE JEWS FIRST, AND THEN TO THE GENTILES

Although God had to allow the Gentile descendants of Japheth to degenerate into pagan barbarians, they were still His soldiers and so, was still able to speak into their conscience to allow the Rod to reclaim them in Isa 11:10. But how was God's elect Servant, Jesus, going to call these, by now, pagan, barbarian, Roman Gentiles? Had the Rod gone straight to the Gentiles, as I said, they would just have fed Him to the lions, therefore, God sent Jesus to the Jews first.

For whatever reason, the Jews were already anticipating the arrival of their Messiah. So, they would be far easier to convince that He had arrived than the Gentiles. God merely put His Spirit on Jesus and empowered Him to perform a few healing miracles in front of His wife John Joan* Zebedee, His brother-in-law James, and a few friends. However, not the unbelievable miracles invented by the Pauline Christians, albeit, allowed by God to rapidly call the Gentiles; just enough for Jesus’ friends to notice that his attempts to help people were having spectacular sucesss. Soon, a few more of His friends began tagging along, becoming increasingly hopeful that something very big was happening.

Jesus' disciples, as they were referring to themselves now, were pretty much convinced by His unbelievable ability to cure even lepers and the blind, that He was indeed the promised Messiah. In time, because God was inspiring Jesus’ disciples to call Him, Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace, and Messiah, He soon attracted the attention of the Jewish bureaucracy, angering them, because they knew that He did not have the attributes of the promised Messiah.

As Jesus healed ever more people, His followers increased in number and grew louder in claiming him as the Messiah. However, Jesus himself never claimed that, and never failed to uphold the beliefs and customs of His Jewish upbringing Matt 5:17. So, it was not for His adulteration of the Law that the Jews wanted Him gone. Eventually, the Pharisees arrested Him for blasphemy. Even though it was not Jesus claiming to be the Messiah or corrupting the Law, His arrest and crucifixion had the desired effect of attracting the attention of the Gentiles. When the Pharisees charged him in the Gentile’s court for claiming to be the anticipated Messiah and He was crucified, dead and buried by Pontius Pilate, Rome had to take notice. Rome had been notified that someone performing amazing miracles had been crucified, and that many believed that He really was the Christos. All God needed to do now, was to bring Jesus back to life, or at least appear too, to His followers, for it to echo across the known world.

Now, enter Paul of Tarsus, a respected senior Jewish leader. Paul has just witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus and now he believes he is seeing Him alive again on the road to Damascus. Although he was not one who had known Jesus or even anyone who had, Paul instantly became convinced that his people were guilty of crucifying the Messiah and that Jesus must be God, or the son of God or both. So, off this well-respected Rabbi went to spread the word, which he knew nothing about. First, to tell his own people that they had crucified the Messiah. Then, after having caused such a commotion as to be heard in Rome, he confirmed to the Gentiles that they were right, Jesus was the Messiah; that the Jews had totally lost their standing with God in favour of the Christians, and that circumcision and Torah study were no longer necessary to become a Christian. Besides, this new god could turn water into wine.

If God’s purpose was to prove to satan, as it was, that the Christians now hated the Jews with a passion for crucifying the Messiah, and that Jews hated the Gentiles for adulterating the Law by eliminating circumcision, teaching that God had a son, and accusing them of crucifying the Messiah, then He certainly achieved that. Satan was now totally convinced that the reciprocal hatred between them was such that these pagan Christians, who were more like his own disciples then God’s, would never come to the aid of the Jews if he attempted to exterminate them.

Sadly, to prevent the far less offensive message that Jesus actually taught the Nazarene Christians, from contradicting Paul’s outrageous adulteration of the Jew’s Law, God inspired Jesus to tell His followers and the disciples, that some would not see death before He returned. And so, when Rome invaded Jerusalem in 72ad, neither the disciples nor the Nazarene Christians would leave Jerusalem for fear of missing Jesus’ return, and so, they joined the ranks of the many Christian martyrs, and the real message of Jesus was replaced by Paul’s version.

As God had planned, the animosity between the Jews and the Gentiles continued until God’s trap was sprung. Satan’s host Hitler and his Nazis  followers finally risked eliminating the Jews, even though he had not yet produced a son for satan to transpose into on his death, and so, when the prince of this world was judged John 16:11 in 1945, his ability to get around to observe through the senses of his host and destroy, ended for all eternity.

Footnote.

Although Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life," the Rod coming forth out of the stump of Jesse, was only the Way, not yet The Truth or The Life. As well as becoming the Way when He gave His life to forgive our past sins, Jesus had only one other prophecy to fulfil, and that was to call the Gentiles, as explained above. However, a seed (descendant) of Jesus in Isa 53:10, became the Truth in 1945, because Hitler, the prince of this world, was judged; this allowed God to choose one of the Branches growing out of the Rod, Isa 11:1b, as a living standard of righteousness or unrighteousness, which we must all attain to be part of the resurrection. The Truth is also the Spirit of Truth, the Jew’s real Messiah, the Helper, the Comforter, and the Holy Ghost, but definitely not the Holy Spirit, which is God.

God bless all who love God and give wisdom to those who do not yet.
