Fulfilled nearly 2000 years go by the apostle Paul and others
 
2Co 11:23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
2Co 11:24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
2Co 11:25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;

Paul does not seem to have received universal acceptance. Also, my reading of history over the last 2,000 does not show a universal desire to seek a Jew for his access to God.

That's the only way that gentiles received access to God, ie through God's chosen vessels. Those days are over forever in this age because the whole world has access now to God through their writings; but in a sense it still applies because people believe through their words.
 
So really any time someone reads the bible it's as if they're grabbing onto the skirt of a Jew (eg, Paul) and saying "Teach me the ways of God"
