Hello All
This is another long one but it is mostly verses to back up the Point being made.
Dispensationalist Theology is not wrong they just do not see how God fulfilled his promise.
Covenant theologist are not wrong they just do not understand how God fulfilled his Promise.
What did Jesus mean by this
[24] He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
Jesus did not say this by accident he did not say the House of Israel by accident. Covenant Theologist would have us believe this just means Jesus was sent to Jewish sinners. That is ridiculous, Jesus knew exactly what he was saying. He knew full well the House of Israel is not The House of Judah. The House of Israel had been lost for over 700 years at this point scattered among the nations. Jesus is saying he has not come for the House of Judah because he knows they will reject him. He is coming for the (by Jesus' time) millions of descendants of the House of Israel.
Here again he confirms this the other Nation is the House of Israel.
Mt:21:43: Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
So it will be taken away from the nation of Judea. Who is the only other Nation God has a covenant with and promised salvation to? The nation of Israel which disappeared in 715 BC and which Jesus’ brother James tells us are scattered abroad.
1: James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
First let us look at How God says he will save the House of Jacob / Joseph / Israel.
Isaiah 27: 6: He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit. ……………….8: In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. 9: By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin;.
So they TAKE ROOT and Fill The World with Fruit and are saved by Fruit that takes away sins….does that sound a bit familiar.
So who is the ROOT they take?
Rv:5:5 Then one of the elders said to me, "Weep not; lo, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals."
Isa:11:10 In that day the root of Jesse shall stand as an ensign to the peoples; him shall the nations seek, and his dwellings shall be glorious.
