Another question.It's most likely my last..
Are Jews today who openly deny Jesus Christ of Nazareth as identified in the New Testament still saved?
Wonder why I feel like Peter before Gamaliel? <wry smile> but I am here for the same reason, “the hope of Israel.” God opened His Word anew after the new nation of Israel was founded in 1948 and Jerusalem was freed of Gentile control in 1967, but few want to believe it.
Several times in earlier posts I have proven Scripturally that the Jews of the Christian era are one of the two witnesses of Revelation 11:3-4. Revelation 1:20 states that candlesticks are churches, and 11:4 states that the two witnesses are candlesticks, so the two witnesses are two churches. The other descriptor in 11:4 states that the two witnesses are two olive trees. Romans 11:24-25 states that two olive trees of the Christian era of the Jewish people and the Gentile believers. So then we have to ask, can one of God’s two witnesses to the Christian era be lost? Romans 11:28-29 state this . . .
“As touching the gospel, they
(the Jews) are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.”
Menachem Begin was a prisoner in the Warsaw ghetto. He saw his parents and 500 other Jews driven into the Warsaw River and gunned down by the Nazis. As their blood stained the river red, they had their hands raised toward heaven and were singing that touching Jewish hymn, “Oh, how we love our Messiah and long for His appearance.” They weren’t praying to a tree or some false idol, but to the same Messiah I love with my whole heart. Right then, the Holy Spirit softened my heart. We are going to see in glory with us, those 500 Jews, and the millions more the church has persecuted throughout the Christian era.
No, I don’t believe all Jews are saved, anymore than I believe every Gentile who walks through a church door is saved, but I certainly believe that those Jews who have the “circumcision of the heart” are as saved as you and I because Romans 11:28-29 says so.
My posts aren’t attacked because I don’t believe the Bible, but because I place God’s Word above the traditions of men.
