And So All Israel Shall Be Saved, Part 2

 

I have more on what I wrote yesterday And So All Israel Shall Be Saved. This is Part 2 of what the Apostle to the Gentiles wrote about the "great mystery" of how Jewish and Gentile believers in Yeshua/Jesus are like a marriage union (Ephesians 2:15).

So now I want to point out that in Genesis 1-3, we see God create man and all the forms of life on the earth. Then God says that none of those life forms could fulfill man's need not to be alone without a helper/an aid.

So God put the man into a deep sleep and open Adam up taking something from inside the man with which to form a woman to be with the man. God did not form the woman out of the soil of the earth as He did the man, but instead, He removed something from the man and that became the material God used to form the woman.

This is in the same sense that Christianity has been birthed out of Judaism. Likewise as with Adam, the first man, God took Israel and put them into a "deep sleep" too. Isaiah 6:10 "Make the hearts of this people calloused; deafen their ears and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.”

This was not Divine cruelty, it was putting Israel to sleep while God created Christianity. God's plan saw it necessary to put Israel aside until the timing when He would return to restore them spiritually.

Aslo God did not create a whole new religion, but Christianity was born out of Judaism - the same Jewish Messiah, all Jewish apostles, the original ekklesia or congregation established in Jerusalem - and the risen Savior's promise to return to the same place, Jerusalem to set up His Kingdom.

In this great mystery of God, even the creation of women as a help and aid to the man, is a foreshadow to the birth of Christianity out of Judaism, and the destiny of Christianity, like the destiny of women, to be an aid and helper in the "one new man" mariage-type unity God is bringing together in these last days.

Do you see it?

Ephesians 5:31“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” 32 THIS MYSTERY IS PROFOUND, but I am speaking about Messiah and the ekklesia. 33 Nevertheless, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

What stands in our way of this is the next spiritual breakthrough.
