Matthew 12:21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
Amen. It was no secret that Gentiles that blessed Israel would be saved. I think I have posted that Scripture.
Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Isaiah 60:3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
Gentiles that blessed Israel could inherit the promises of Israel. That was no secret. However, do we come to God by the brightness of Israel's rising? No we don't. We come to God through Christ without Israel. It is because of the fall of Israel that we (gentiles that never blessed Israel) can be saved.
Romans 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Now think about it.
Can we bless Israel?
Do we come to God through Christ.... or through Israel?
Do we come to God through Israel's rising... or their fall?
What do the Scriptures say?
In Christ,
