We know from the Scriptures that the Jews will be delivered from all evil but we are not certain when and how it will happen.

God never changes. He has not for one moment forgotten His ancient people, the Jews. We Gentiles have become proud, thinking that the Christian Church is Gentile and that if a Jew is to be saved He must change his religion. The truth is, it is we Gentiles who must turn away from our demon worship and embrace the God of the Jews.

The Jew does not have to change his religion in order to become a Christian. All he must do is repent of his sins, turn in faith toward his own God, and embrace Jesus, His own Christ. He then is to be baptized in water, not as a sign he has left Judaism but in order to represent his identification with the crucifixion and resurrection of his Christ.

In so doing the Jew does not become a Gentile or a member of any Gentile church. Rather he enters the same Body of which Paul, Peter, James, John, and Jude—all Jews—are members. We of the elect Gentiles look on with joy as our Jewish brothers and sisters regain their own inheritance.

For two thousand years the ministries and gifts that come to us from the ascended Christ have been saying to elect Gentiles, "You are God's people. You are not of the world. You have been called out to be one with Christ as He is One with the Father. You are to come out of the world and to offer up spiritual sacrifices of prayer and praise to the Father, sacrifices acceptable to Him because of the blood and Person of Christ."

The time is drawing near when the eyes of many members of the nation of Israel, the race of the Jews, will be opened. God will use some of us Gentiles to begin teaching them, "You are God's people."

It is not our role to make Gentiles of the Jews or to make them members of any church. God forbid! The Jewish religion was ordained of God. Most of the liturgies and practices of the Christian churches never were ordained of God but merely are human adjustments to the Gospel of the Kingdom. The Jewish Law, feasts, priesthood, and sacrifices were commanded by the Lord!

It is our task as Gentiles to say to the Jew, "You belong to God. God has chosen you to be a king and priest to Himself. Receive your Christ, the Lord Jesus, for your salvation is in His name. Receive your Bridegroom. He loves you with an everlasting love.

"He is your sin-offering. He is your Passover Lamb. He is your Lampstand, your Light. He is your Booth, your Tabernacle in which to dwell before the Lord. The promised salvation has come and it is Christ."

To be continued.
