Have you ever wondered how Israel could be the CHOSEN PEOPLE, but - TopicsExpress



          

Have you ever wondered how Israel could be the CHOSEN PEOPLE, but they have lived and died for thousands of years not knowing the identity of their messiah?? Doesnt that translate into them being lost?? The scripture says they are SAVED, but Jesus is the ONLY WAY and they dont know him all the way to their deaths. Heres what I came up with....:) I could be wrong, but the end result is HOPE - and thats a fruit of the Spirit!! God changed the grandson of Abraham - Jacobs name to Israel. Thats why they are called Israel. Genesis 32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. God made promises to Abraham that HE MUST KEEP. Thats WHY Israel is chosen, and if you take a look at what those precious people have faced as a cost for being chosen, you might find yourself feeling thankful that you werent. God has made them a scourge to the whole earth. They NEVER have recognized Jesus Christ as their messiah, and they still dont. Every single one of them who dies without accepting Him, IS LOST according to scripture, right?? Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Generations and generations of Gods chosen people lost.......doesnt that sound a bit odd to you?? It sure does to me, so Im doing a little studying and look what God shows me.....:) They might just have a loophole........:) Check this out. Jesus went into the lower parts of the earth and preached the gospel to the DEAD Old Testament saints, and those who believed Him were resurrected with Him. Even they who died before Jesus was ever born had to accept the Savior to enter the Kingdom. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS.....EVEN FOR ISRAEL. 1 Peter 3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 1 Peter 4:6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. Jesus went and preached to them that are DEAD from the Old Testament. He set a precedent for preaching to the dead.......and I think thats how He is saving Israel because it is HIM who has purposely blinded them for generations to His identity.....:) Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. Israel is blinded PURPOSELY until the fulness of the gentiles comes in. Thats the mid-trib rapture. Then, the abomination of desolation occurs, the temple is defiled, and Israels blindness is removed. 2 Corinthians 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. YES.....Israel must embrace the messiah Jesus Christ or they are lost, but it sure looks to me like the King has set a precedent for preaching the gospel to them after they die.....and if they believe Him they are saved....:) That would reconcile why He is willing to blind them to His identity for generations while they are here.....:) God favored them, but that favor has cost them SO MUCH!!! Because of that favor, they are a target for the whole world, everyone hates them.....the world is consumed with ridding the planet of them. They bear the responsibility as the keepers of the knowledge of God. Without them, the world has no chance to survive.....but the world is clueless. God calls us sheep.....hes right, were totally clueless. God has purposely blinded them to their Savior......and yes, generations of them have been slaughtered, lost.......but Jesus went to the others even after their deaths to show them.....:) I hope thats also what He will do for those Jews who have died not knowing Him.....its possible!!! He did say that ALL of Israel would be saved......:) Romans 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: Israel are those who BELIEVE GOD like Abraham did. If they believe God but are blinded to the Savior by God purposely, then Hes got another way to reach them that STILL meets the bible criteria....:). It looks like He preaches to them after they are dead, and those who believe Him then are real Israel...:) Those who arent Gods children wont LOVE HIM even after they die. The real ones will embrace Him once He proves His identity.....:) Ive wondered for a long time how He could choose Israel, and then let so many of them die lost. That would reconcile that question Ive had. Its a possibility......:) Its HOPE!! Where you find HOPE, you find the King at work!!
