From Moses to Messiah: The Biblical History of Judaism

The idea that all descendants of Abraham are Jewish is wrong. The Bible says Abraham was the father of many nations, not just one. One of the seeds descending from him were a covenant line, but they were not always obedient to God, and they comingled with pagans. The idea that people are Jewish by matrilineal descent is not based off God's word. VF-2419.

Many in Christ’s day believed that because they had the covenants, the promises, and the law that they didn’t need salvation. Although they were anticipating a Messiah, they rejected Christ and everything He had to say. Paul makes it clear as to “why” in the book of Romans: not all Israel is of Israel. Some people known as “Israel” had the capacity to respond to Christ. Many did not. The same is true today, and until God gives the capacity, no one can receive. VF-2426.

Not all the Jews rejected Christ, but many of the spiritual leaders were against Him because they had no spiritual discernment and they perceived Him as a threat to their position. There were also many people who only followed Jesus for self-serving reasons. The rejection of Christ was foretold by God and there are still many people today who will not hear. The Apostle Paul is an example of one called by God, who rejected Christ until God turned him around. In the end, God will have those ...

The practices and identity of the Jewish people began to crystallize after their return from exile in Babylon. They began to strictly enforce the law and to separate themselves from the ways of the foreigners who ruled over them. This period also saw the addition of new laws and holidays, which the Jewish people strictly adhered to. They developed a national spirit and fought to protect their religion. VF-2422.

The Jewish identity and practices of Judaism did not begin to emerge until after the return from Babylonian captivity. Although the priesthood had maintained certain practices and preserved the Hebrew tongue, most of the population had forgotten these things. During this time there were waves of religious zeal as well as disobedience among the people. VF-2421.

Do not take your salvation for granted and get complacent lest you engage in spiritual pride. It takes vigilance to stay by the stuff. In the Old Testament the children of Israel drifted away repeatedly and much of the church in America today has departed from the ways of God, but there is still time to return to Him. He promises a new covenant in which He will put His law in our hearts and forgive our iniquity. To those who take Him at His word and trust Him, He will be merciful. Romans ...
