Both Jews And Gentiles Have Ignorance And Arrogance To The Simple Truth.

YES, the Jewish people are beloved and chosen because of what God promised at the beginning by HIS OWN standard and HIS OWN character (Genesis 15), and YES, the Gentiles have been graciously grafted in, BUT, both of them are ignorant and arrogant to so much.

Romans 2:12/24

For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them) in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel. Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God, and know His will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law, and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and truth in the law. You, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal? You who say, “Do not commit adultery,” do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law? For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” as it is written.

• Gentiles today are split apart into so many different systems, ideologies, worship of men from the past and false comforts, it is no wonder the falling away cannot be rightly recognized in the church (2^nd Corinthians 11:3/4). Jews are split, many of them knowing Yeshua as Mashiach already and being in love with Him, obedient and faithful, while the other half is awaiting for a Mashiach figure which they believe is coming on the scene even now, and it is NOT Jesus. This is how close we are to the antichrist being revealed in our lifetime, when the Jews who are still wearing the veil, are anticipating another Mashiach figure who is no different than Herod or another tyrant who merely used them for gain (Donald Trump fits into this category).

• Gentiles are arrogant to the law because they have been bred in ignorance of it and only know what the world teaches them. Many Jews only know a form of it, because their teaches have spent centuries conforming it to man-made doctrines and systems of thought, instead of the heart of the law (Matthew 22:36/40). Because of this, both the Gentile and the Jew are ignorant of simply placing their trust in the Lord and following Jesus (Yeshua) as He is without conforming Him to a system, ideology, doctrine or religion.

• I have a firm belief that at the end of the age (which I believe is at the doors), the church (both Jew and Gentile) will be humbled. Systems of thought and ideologies will collapse. Multitudes will come back to the simplicity of following Jesus as He is (Hebrews 13:8, John 14:26, John 16:13), while finally being Bereans again and questioning, TESTING all other things that seek only to conform one to an ‘idea’ of Jesus (2^nd Corinthians 11:3/4).
