Israel and the Gentiles

[marks]

Romans 11:9-27 KJV
9) And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
10) Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.

David prophesied that Israel would be blinded, their eyes darkened.

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.
12) Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

Israel has fallen - temporarily - to bring salvation to the Gentiles.

13) For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
14) If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
15) For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

"The casting away of them", "the receiving of them" These are changes in how God is working with different groups of people.

16) For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17) And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18) Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19) Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
20) Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21) For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22) Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

23) And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.

More changes to come!

24) For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
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.

Reiteration . . . part of Israel is blinded, until the full complement of Gentiles be come in. God has changed His working with Israel as He is working with the Gentiles.

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:
27) For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

This will change back as God again works with Israel, their blindness removed.

God has blinded part of Israel until the full number of Gentiles be come in. God will unblind Israel after this, and so All Israel shall be saved.

This is dispensationalism.

Unless you understand dispensations in the Bible, you will be forced to "reinvent" Scripture after Scripture, denying the plain sayings of the Bible, and substituting convoluted arguments for clear teachings, of why we should not believe those clear teachings.

However, when you recognize dispensational changes, you can read it as written, no substitutions needed.

Much love!

Romans 5:12-14 KJV
12) Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13) (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14) Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

This changed when the Law was given, as Israel was now accountable to God in the form of codified Law. This again shows a change of dispensation.

Much love!

The King James Bible translates dispensation from oikonomia, "house law", that is, the manner and methods of providing for the needs of the occupants of the house. Managing one's family, for instance.

This is "the rules for how things get done", again, to provide for the needs of those living there.

God set Adam in the garden, and told him how things will work. You can eat from all these, but not that one. This was the original dispensation. When Adam ate from the forbidden tree, God changed things. This was the next dispensation. Now you cannot eat from any of these trees, and you will have to work for your food.

Can you spot other dispensational changes in the Bible?

Much love!

Matthew 11:10-13 KJV
10) For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11) Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12) And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13) For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

Israel has fallen - temporarily - to bring salvation to the Gentiles.

So, the salvation to the Gentiles is also "temporarily"?

So, the salvation to the Gentiles is also "temporarily"?

I'm not sure what you mean, I believe that "saved" is forever.

In Acts, Paul speaks of no more going to the Jews, and that's when the signs and wonders stopped. Those letters Paul wrote prior to the events recorded in Acts 28 contain references to the signs and wonders. Letters written after this do not, and in fact show that some people were not healed of their ills.

The Jews seek signs, the Greeks seek wisdom.

In Romans 11, Paul speaks of "the full complement of Gentiles", or "the full number", after which all Israel will be saved.

Regarding this dispensational outreach to the Gentiles, it appears to end when the blindness of Israel is removed.

My personal thinking is that even as some gentiles were joined to Israel and shared their covenant with God, even now some Jews are being saved along with the Gentiles. And that in the time to come, some Gentiles will also be saved as the focus is once more on Israel.

Much love!

In Romans 11, Paul speaks of "the full complement of Gentiles", or "the full number", after which all Israel will be saved.

No, dispensationalists are always misreading the verse. Paul did not say "after that", he said "in this way".

Regarding this dispensational outreach to the Gentiles, it appears to end when the blindness of Israel is removed.

Meaning what, what will happen to Gentiles, to Americans, Europeans, Asians...?

Romans 11:25-26 KJV
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.
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:

Paul is addressing the question, why is not Israel saved?

Romans 11:7-8 KJV
7) What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
8) (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

Israel was partially blinded, that they don't see, but that blindness will end when the full number of Gentiles is come in, and so all Israel will in fact be saved.

Meaning what, what will happen to Gentiles, to Americans, Europeans, Asians...?

The indication from Scripture as I understand it is that at least for the most part, they will not repent.

What will change for Americans, Europeans etc., in your theology, compared to today, regarding the cross, salvation through faith etc.?

What is "the fullness of Gentiles" - is it some specific number?

but that blindness will end when the full number of Gentiles is come in

The text doesn't say that.

Let's not confuse the Dispensationalism of John Nelson Darby associated with the doctrine he first preached called a Pre-trib Rapture theory. Darby's Dispensationalist theories are not what Paul was pointing to in that Romans 11 Scripture. And today when most use that word 'Dispensationalism', they are pointing to Darby's false theories on it.

There are various dispensations written of in God's Word. Christ's 1st coming was a dispensation of God's Plan of Salvation; so was Christ's birth, and Christ's death and resurrection, etc. God's Word can be divided up into many dispensations of God's Plan of Salvation. And that is what 'true' dispensations are about.

But we have to be careful when the seminaries get ahold of that, for they are notorious for creating religious theories that are not written in The Bible, and Darby's brand of Dispensationalism is one of them, specifically taught in the Pre-trib Rapture type Christian seminaries.

I've seen a number of different ways people have divided up the dispensations over the years. Clarance Larkin, if I'm remembering rightly, had the most complex concept of the dispensations I've seen. I've never actually read anything from Darby, so I don't know his POV.

Something I like to be clear about is the difference between the facts of the different dispensations, and the implications of those facts. Hebrews has a nice example in showing that as the new covenant replaces the covenant that then was, this is the fact of the dispensation. The implication is, as the writer brings out, that the old covenant was inferior, and therefore subject to replacement with a better covenant.

Yes about the Book of Hebrews, The New Covenant Jesus Christ is... a better covenant, because the law could never save anyone, and the law was what the old covenant was based on. The word Torah (law) can mean'to point', like an arrow (from Hebrew yarah). It suggests a pointer to Jesus Christ and The New Covenant that He would manifest.

The popular usage of the word Dispensationalism in today's seminaries usually involves the 1830's doctrines of Darby and his preaching of a pre-trib rapture theory, the first evidence of that doctrine being preached in a Christian Church.

Later in the 1880's, the excellent British Bible scholar E.W. Bullinger would follow suit with Darby's Dispensationalism, and later it expanded into further divisions. Its main character is the idea that Christ's Church is separate from the Kingdom of Israel, which Biblically is not supported.

Dispensational teachings really seem to get people tied up in knots. That's why I like to simplify matters, and just look at the Scriptures, and see what is and is not supported.

Interesting that you post this, but thats some good understanding in the word of God. But you said, "Israel has fallen - temporarily - to bring salvation to the Gentiles."

Let's get some understanding on this commet, because Israel has fallen even thought Paul says in Romans 11: 1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

God have use the Gentiles for others reasons not that salvation comes to the Gentiles, because Israel fallen temporarily. Peter said in Acts 15:6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. 7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 9 And put no difference between us and them, This dispute is mainly talking about the Gentiles being circumcise, understand that some of those Israelites didn't want Gentiles in this word of God. Jesus gave Peter the keys to the kingdom, and this for a reason.

Even today it's still the same, because Paul says in Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. If you are a Gentile or from any other nation, and you are being taught by another Gentile or nation, who have not been taught by a Hebrew Israelite, (who keeps the commandments, statues and judgments), then there’s going to be a lot of miss understanding and miss leading.

The question is How can one who is not of the lineage of Israel, become partakers of the covenant of God? Lets take a look into (Ephesians 2:11-22) let’s look at the 11th through 13th verses. "Wherefore remember, that ye being in the time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called the circumcision in the flesh made by hands; (12th vs.) That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenant of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: (13th vs.) But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ."

The Gentiles and any other nation still have to get the word of God through Israel or a Israelite, why? Because Paul says in Romans 9: I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: 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; 5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

Missed this earlier. "until the fulness of the gentiles be come in."

Marks, your understanding of this section of this verse is very wrong.

It should be understood to read as: - "until the fulness, with respect to time, of the Gentiles has come to its conclusion," is mine and Paul's understanding of this portion of the verse. The fulness with respect to time of the gentiles is a reference to Daniel 8:14-15 when the Little Horn will be given armies over a period of 2,300 years to trample God's Sanctuary and His Earthly Hosts. When this prophecy has come to the end of the prescribed 2,300 years this prophecy will have reached its conclusion.

At the same time the prophetic completion of the Exodus 20:4-6 of the visitation of the iniquities of the fathers will be visited upon their children and the children's children during the third and the fourth age of the existence of the nation of Israel after which God will turn once more back unto Israel and will begin gathering Israel to Himself. The completion of both prophecies will occur at the end of this age which is the sixth age of mankind and the fourth age of the existence of the nation of Israel. During the seventh age, the nation of Israel will once more become His special people during the seventh age.

What Marks has presented is simply replacement theology.

Nah... that's seed glorifying, and is NOT Biblical.

A Gentile Christian can... preach The Gospel to other Gentiles, and even baptize them in Christ's Name.

Trying to limit the spreading of The Gospel only by the seed of an Israelite is ludicrous!

BRETHREN IN CHRIST:
I recall a discussion I once had with a Jewish fellow who got all angry when I revealed to him, per the written Bible Scripture, about God's Birthright Blessings first given through His servant Abraham and down to Jacob and Israel, had been moved from the blinded unbelieving Jews and Jerusalem, and instead given to those who believed The Gospel of Jesus Christ and would produce its fruits. Lord Jesus even revealed this in Matthew 21 in His parable of the husbandmen of the vineyard.


Jesus speaking to the chief priests and elders of the unbelieving Jews...

Matt 21:33-43
33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:

Jesus put the reality of His 1st coming and crucifixion and rejection by the unbelieving Jews in the form of this parable about a vineyard and the husbandmen whose job it was to care for the vineyard.

The vineyard in this parable is a symbol for the "house of Israel", and Judah as His "pleasant plant" that He placed to care for His vineyard (see Isaiah 5:7). Originally the Biblical term "house of Israel" meant all the seed of Jacob. But after God split of old Israel in Solomon's day per 1 Kings 11, that "house of Israel" label then meant only the northern ten tribe "kingdom of Israel" under a king God setup from the tribe of Ephraim. God had originally ordained that Israel's kings only come from the tribe of Judah, so God making Ephraim king over ten tribes was a big deal, because Ephraim is involved with The New Covenant.

34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.

Apostle Paul revealed in Galatians 3 and Romans 4 that The Gospel was first preached to Abraham, and Abraham believed, which is the SAME FAITH those in Christ today have believed. And God counted Abraham's FAITH as righteousness. That is one of the "fruits" Lord Jesus was pointing to in this parable that was supposed to be produced by Judah with God's vineyard, as God's Birthright Blessings first given through Abraham includes care and promotion of The Gospel of Jesus Christ. A remnant of Old Testament Israel knew this, Abraham being the first, even as Lord Jesus in John 8:56-58 said that Abraham rejoiced to see His day, and was glad.

But what did the ancestors of those Jewish chief priests and elders do to the Old Testament prophets which God sent to them? They killed God's prophets.

37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, "They will reverence my son."
38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, "This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance."
39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.

Then God sent His Son Jesus of Nazareth, The Christ, and they persecuted and slaughtered Jesus on the cross, just so they could try and maintain their own place over His people and steal His Kingdom. Thus the symbols God uses about what those false Jews would do per Isaiah 5 was they were supposed to have produced good fruit with His vineyard of the "house of Israel", but instead they produced 'wild grapes' (poison berries per Hebrew of Isaiah 5:4).


40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?

Jesus then asks those blind chief priests and elder Jews what do they expect the lord over His vineyard will do to those husbandmen He put in charge over His vineyard when He returns? He is setting them up, and only later do those blinded Jews realize that Jesus was speaking this parable about them as those wicked husbandmen.

41 They say unto Him, "He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons."

Those chief priests and elders of unbelieving Jews even pronounce their own... sentence by their answer, unaware they are doing that.

42 Jesus saith unto them, "Did ye never read in the scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?'"

Lord Jesus was quoting from OT Scripture like Habakkuk 1:5 and Psalms 118:22-23. It was a prophecy about Jesus' 1st coming as God in the flesh, Immanuel, the Stone which the builders (those Jews) rejected, and those Jews would not be aware of it, even if it were told them beforehand, just as Lord Jesus was doing right here with His parable of the vineyard and husbandmen.

And you'd think that the chief priests and elders of Israel would have been learned enough in Old Testament Scripture to have understood Jesus beforehand, but they were not following God's Word, but only a modicum of their own traditions built from it, and the Babylonian Talmud philosophical sage writings which is the heart of Judaism still to this day, which came out of the corruptions of Judah's seventy years Babylon captivity.

The ten tribes of Israel under Ephraim did not go through that Babylon captivity with the Jews of the "house of Judah", so something better was provided the ten tribe "house of Israel" once God scattered them to new lands, and purged their old Baal idol worship out of them, and gave the ten tribe "house of Israel" The New Covenant.


43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
KJV

There it is, Jesus said God's Kingdom, represented by that vineyard symbol involving the "house of Israel", would be taken out of the care of those false unbelieving Jews, and instead given to "a nation" that would bring forth that vineyards fruits. The "nation" means Christ's Church. And the "fruits thereof" are represented by the care of The Gospel of Jesus Christ, and not only that, but all of GOD's Birthright Blessings that He originally gave to Abraham, and then was transferred to his son Isaac, and then was given to his son Jacob, and then to his son Joseph, and then to Joseph's two sons born to him in Egypt named Ephraim and Manasseh, where God's Birthright still remains to this day, with the founders of the Western Christian Nations that are in The Gospel of Jesus Christ, the believing Gentiles with them.
