Jesus can judge within his Jews, but Christians ARE NOT to judge outside the church. Furthermore, GOD has set the Jews aside for HIS own purpose, and they WILL be "
completed" as GOD brings events into existence.
Genesis 12:3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse; and by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves.”

I keep seeing Jews trying to apply that Gen.12:3 idea only to the nation state of Israel in the middle east today that the United Nations setup. But in reality, it applied to ALL TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL, and especially to the inheritance promises God first gave to Abraham. (The Jews only made up 1/3 of the children of Israel. That name did not apply to the northern ten tribes which God gave one of the tribe of Ephraim to rule over as "king of Israel" in the northern lands. See 1 Kings 11 forward.)
Here is the false prophet Balaam who was supposed to curse Israel, but instead was turned to speak good by God's Hand:
Num 24:5-9
5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.
7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
KJV
Verse 7 is a symbolic link to the "fruitful bough by a well" prophecy for Joseph's seed for the last days per Genesis 49:22-26.
Verse 8 is about God's promise to Abraham that his seed would rule the gates of his enemies, i.e., greatest military power.
Verse 7 is also about king David's house, that it would be perpetual and never end. God speaking of king David and his perpetual house and throne:
Ps 89:27-37
27 Also I will make him My firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and My covenant shall stand fast with him.
29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 If his children forsake My law, and walk not in My judgments;
31 If they break My statutes, and keep not My commandments;
32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33 Nevertheless My lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer My faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
36 His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
KJV
Can all that be applied to the Jews today??? No! Why?
Because in the nation state of Israel today, there is NO king of the House of David sitting upon David's throne! Yet God said He promised one of David's seed would sit upon it perpetually, established like the sun and moon. Has the sun and moon ever ended in this world? Nope! Thus David's throne is still established on earth today, but where? Who knows? Not in the nation state in the middle east called Israel today, because that is only a small remnant of Jews that have returned, not all 12 tribes.
Nor does the state of Israel in the holy land have the greatest military power on earth, which was another of God's promises to Abraham. Who does? I shouldn't have to answer that. It's not the nation state of Israel.
And what areas on the earth have been established in the best crop producing lands on the earth, and grows much more food than it could ever consume, and sends a lot of grain to the nations, etc.? I shouldn't need to answer that either.
It's like Apostle Paul said, those in Christ Jesus have become the children of Abraham, and inherit the promises with Abraham (Galatians 3).
