Time and time again the Jewish people have proven themselves smarter and more accomplished than others in all human fields of learning! Why then are they so easily deceived spiritually?! Rabbi's talking and meeting with Messiah, yet no grand entrance! And what is this supposed messiah waiting on to redirect the hearts and affairs of men? Riddle me this! TR They have been blinded in part, for our sake. Speaking as a gentile who likely doesn't have a drop of Jewish blood in him, I still can't fully comprehend this. I look forward to God explaining it fully to me. It's amazing and humbling to think about it. Romans 11:25 New King James Version 25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. This might explain to your riddle. My apologies but I just don't have an hour and a half to vet this video. Could you give us a brief synopsis? Thanks! Israeli News Live has a guest who is an ex-Orthodox Rabbi who talks about how Rabbinic Judaism and globalism fit together hand in glove. Basically it talks about how Rabbinic Judaism has made God subservient to the Rabbis. This is clearly laid out in the Talmud. Rabbinic Judaism claims that their oral Torah gives them the authority over Almighty God (absolutely blasphemous, of course), their own people as well as the gentiles. I can recommend a book called Rabbi Akiba's Messiah: The origins of Rabbinic Authority. It clearly lays out how Rabbinic Judaism "justifies" their authority. There are numerous citations from Rabbinic sources such as the Talmud, thr Mishna, Gemara, Zohar, etc. It is quite eye opening and disturbing in equal measure. Divine authority by vote! But God's vote is the only one that counts! Seems like the world's religions are also being exposed! Pier pressure no longer seems to be effective! If I were a Jew forced to go through Tribulation I could easily vent some anger towards Rabbi's! But culpability ultimately is more individualistic! That's how God likes it to be! No religious buses accepted! TR No group plans or grandfather clauses will be accepted! Sorry for any inconvenience! TR The Law of Moses became a stumbling block for the Jews. They didn’t understand what God really required. “They pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works”. Rom 9:32 The Law and the prophets were proclaimed until John and then the good news of the kingdom was preached. Yet how hard it was for people to let go of the Law of Moses – Luke 16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. This is why I believe one of the 2 witnesses will be Moses. As he preaches faith in the finished work of Jesus on the Cross .... 1/3 will have their eyes finally open and will receive Jesus as their Messiah. Yes, the veil is being lifted from their eyes, as we speak. Slowly but surely. Rabbinic Judaism is an insidious system that keeps the common people in bondage. Just like in Jesus' day with the Scribes and the Pharisees. I have given messages at my congregation from time to time. One message was on the Ten commandments. I read them and then explained how the law was designed to show us that we can't keep it and that we need a Saviour and that Saviour is Jesus Christ. I finished the message with Galations 3:19-25 Purpose of the Law 21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. 22 But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. Now, I had prayed beforehand that this message would speak to someone. I felt that my message was far from the best that I had ever given. God, however, delights in using the weaken and broken things. After the service, we have a fellowship lunch. When I went there, there were two new people sitting at a table alone. So, I introduced myself and they asked me to sit down and introduced themselves. They were Jewish and were attending the congregation for the first time. They were friends and the woman looked me square in the eye and said "your message answered every question I ever had! " She was just beaming! The male friend then explained that she had been kveching about something for a number of weeks. So, he finally told her (and this was out of character for him, he admitted) "Pray to God. " So, she did and they ended up attending my congregation, as a result. So, she was thrilled to hear the gospel explained and the true purpose of the law. It was truly an answer to my prayer about speaking to someone in particular and to her prayer. While this couple attended the congregation a few more times, I haven't seen them since this stupid lockdown started. I pray that a seed has been planted and that it will bear fruit. So, that's a firsthand experience that I've had. It's nice to be used by God. :good Thank you, Arthur! I appreciate the update. :good:
19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one.
