Paul often read from the scriptures on the sabbath (which is kept by the apostles 84
times in the book of Acts). And the only scriptures at that time was the old testament.
(Acts 17:2) As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue,
and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures.
the children of Israel -Who are Israelites ?
throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, Israel for
an everlasting covenant:1 Chronicles 16:17 Psalms 105:10
-the children of Israel , physical decendents of Abraham,
would spread around the world, be like sands of the sea shore,
or like the stars above in heaven- there still here on earth.
The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and [let my name]
be named on them, and [the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac];
and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth”
-you could be a physical decendent of Abraham and not even know it.
Are you A man ?
Mark 2:27
And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man,
Are you A Jew in heart ?
Romans 2:29 (KJV)
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart,
in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Are you A begotten Son of God ?
Romans 9:4
Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth [the adoption], and the glory, and the
covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and [the promises];
after Acts 13, Acts 26:7
Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come.
For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
-here Paul says that his hope to come, is in the promises given to the twelve tribes.
For knowledge
'
Psalms 111:10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding
have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
