“Jew” Does Not Equal the Israel of Romans 11
Here’s a response I wrote to a reader struggling to understand Romans 11 and the promise of the redeption to Israel.
(The reader equated modern Jews with Israel).
Since this is a common misconception I’m passing on my response here:
“You are asking the right questions.
I wrote a whole book answering them, so I’ll be brief (Heres is the book: Buy this book:https://a.co/d/bJWfn2H)
The Jews would confuse us to believe that anyone calling themselves a “Jew” is the same is the biological children of Jacob (the House of Israel). This is biblically, and historically false. Esther 8:17 — many different ethnic groups become Jews. Jesus Christ endores this view in Matthew 23:15 — the Jews made proselytes. The vast majority of European Jews are descendants of Khazars. Even the name “Askenazik Jew” shows they are from Japheth — they are not even Semities.
- — “Israel” is not that dirt over there. The “Israel” of Romans is the biological descendatns of Jacob, most of whom migrated to Europe and converted (past tense) to Jesus Christ as Europe became Christendom (the Kingdom of Christ).
- — The Gospel was designed for Europe — The New Testament was written in Greek — the premier European Tongue.
- — There is no Epistle to Jerusalem or the land around it.
- — There is no prayer for the peace of that city over there (Jerusalem) in the New Testament but every Epistles has a prayer for the peace of the Church (those of us in Christ) or for individual Christians.
- — The new Testament is entire hostile to “Jews,” which is not same as the House of Israel. The Jpost has a great article on that in 2019: “Is the New Testament Antisemtic?”
- — The House of Israel (the biological offspring of the man called Jacob) migrated to Europe (John 7:35).
- — The term “Jew” only starts to be used (in the Bible) deep iinto the apostasy of the southern two tribes (Judah, collectively). At that point they had already started murdering the prophets (1 Thes 2:15). The Ten Northern tribes (ISrael) had already gone into exile into Assyria (and from there to Europe) and those tribes NEVER referred to themselves as Jews.
