Wasnt this Christ mission to redeem mankind from sin and death. And not all rejected Christ as Peter, Paul, JOhn, Mark and many others at Pentecost accepted Christ as Lord and saviour and did they not bring the gospels to us, and they were Jews.
The Son of God, Jesus Christ, was the perfect Lamb sacrifice (which no animal sacrifice was capable of doing) to cover the sins of the ELECT only. Yes, the Elect Jews believe and obey Christ, including the apostles. He only loves His Elect.
So isnt it a fact that because Christ died for all of mankind that we are all guilty of nailing Him to the cross as He bore the wrath of God for our sins? and if one does not believe that Christ gave His life for one, then how can His heart belong to the Lord, if he/she walks in unbelief and only believes that it is the Jews who are guilty of crucifying our Lord, Would we have accepted Him as Lord and Kind if the Jews had accepted Him as their king. And then how would death have been defeated the Last enemy to be destroyed? So Christ conquered death for us and stood in the breach for us, while we were yet sinners. So because the Lord has shown mercy to us, why can we not show mercy to them? as Israel is God’s first born or His chosen nation.
Christ died for His own, His Elect, those of a contrite and broken spirit – Jew or Gentile. He did not spill one drop of blood for the proud, impenitent sinner – Jew or Gentile. That is the perfect will of God. The apostate, rebellious Jews responsible for the murderous plot and who insisted upon the crucifixion of Our Lord imputed that sin upon their posterity, their children. (“Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.” Matthew 27:25) Therefore, the Jews must repent for killing Christ. And, there will be repentant Jews who are given a heart to know their God at the hand of the Heavenly Father, who will indeed repent of that grievous sin, seeking His forgiveness (Zechariah 12:10). On the other hand, the rebellious Jews will die in their rebellion and awake in hell, just as the rebellious Gentiles will die in their sin for not submitting unto their Creator in obedience and with humility.
We are merciful unto them. By preaching Christ and for all to come to repentance, it is the most loving and merciful act for them. Perhaps they will come out from their rebellion and be separate and serve God in spirit and truth instead of the traditions of their fathers.
The Lord God only hates those who do evil in His sight. to say the Lord God hates Jews, is an assumption, He would not have restored them to their former estate as He has promised. this has happened since the holocaust where He once again gathered them to their land Israel. and I agree it is written that God will gather all nations against Israel, but He Himself will fight for Israel, so the whole earth will see His glory “For all man shall see the token That His Word is never broken. the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
God says He hates them as in His hatred for Esau who is the standing type in the Bible for all the disobedient (Genesis 25, Malachi, Romans 9).
The Lord turned unto the Gentiles for a people for His name following the gross apostasy and rebellion of the Jews, which culminated in the killing of their Savior. His love is fixed only upon the obedient and faithful Jews who are Jews inwardly and not in the flesh – meaning it is not by blood one is called a Jew in the New Covenant but by the obedient spirit given of the Father. (Romans 2)
It is not their land according to God’s decree when He said “a blessing if you obey and a cursing if you disobey.” (Deut 11) It was taken from them for their rebellion when God punished them by sending heathen nations to scatter them and destroy them. God also sent the Holocaust due to their rebellion and not just Jews died at that event, by the way. Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
The “Israel” that God will fight for is His Church in the last days who have not forsaken His law nor are they ashamed of Christ. THAT Israel is the Church, the Bride of Christ, made up of true believers – penitent Jews and Gentiles who suffer shame for His name.
