So now we can see that the Most High has a people in this earth that He have separated for a special purpose.
So now we can see that the Most High prefers a particular people over all the nations that are in this earth. Some may think that this is not the type of attribute that an all loving God should have.
You must use common sense to rebuke this type of thinking. How can mankind have the ability to love, hate be happy, feel sad, get mad, angry, upset and jealous; yet the Most High only has the attribute of love. This would mean that the Most High made man more complex than Himself.
Remember, we were made in the Most High’s image. Therefore, the same way you have the ability to choose what color shirt you want to wear, or the same way you have the ability to prefer a pair of sneakers over another, the Most High has the same power to prefer one nation over another.
Here’s another scripture to prove this fact:
Amo 3:1 Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
Amo 3:2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying: We can see that this message is being addressed the children of Israel. You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities: Though the Most High created all nations, He states that the only family that He knows is the nation of Israel. How can it be possible that the Most High created all nations, yet he only recognizes the nation of Israel:
Psa 147:19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
Psa 147:20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
The Most High revealed His laws, statutes and judgments to the nation of Israel. By doing so, the Most High’s relationship with the inhabitants of the earth was established through the nation of Israel. This is how the Most High only knows the nation of Israel. This is also why it states in Amos 3:2 that He would punish Israel for their iniquities. They were the only nation that received the law and yet transgressed the will of the Most High. This leads us to the understanding of why the Israelites needed salvation.
Some may believe that the idea of Israelites being the heir of the kingdom is an Old Testament idea. For Christians who may reject the Old Testament, you may want to start in the New Testament to show the Most High’s relationship with His people.
Mat 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
Mat 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Mat 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
These twelve Jesus sent forth and commanded them, saying: These 12 is referring to the 12 disciples. Their whole mission was to be sent forth to a particular people. Go not into the way of the Gentiles: The disciples were initially commanded not to go into the way of the gentiles. Though the disciples were later commanded to teach all nations (Matt. 24:19-20), they were commanded first to go preach to the nation of Israel. And into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: Why did Christ tell the disciples not to go into the city of the Samaritans? When you read 2 Kings the 17th chapter, you will read about how the Northern Kingdom was removed out of the land of Samaria for their idolatry that was set up by king Jeroboam. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel: Christ commanded the disciples to go to the lost sheep of the House of Israel.
Why were these people lost?
According to Jer. 17:4, the Most High would cause His people to be discontinued from their heritage. These are the people who are lost from their identity, culture, and customs and have no idea that they are the chosen people of God. This now gives understanding as to whom some of the gentiles were that you read about in the New Testament. Though you had some natural gentiles, you also had Israelites who were separated from the practices of their forefathers and were thus referred to as gentiles. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand: The importance of this can sometimes be overlooked. Christ told the disciples to let these people know that the kingdom of heaven is at hand; to show you that the kingdom was set up for these particular people. These were the people who were waiting to receive power and ruler ship in the earth.
This point is also reiterated in Matt. 15: 24:
Mat 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Some may make statements such as “It seems like you are preaching hate. What about salvation?” Here’s the answer to that question:
Joh 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
Christ was speaking to a woman of the land of Samaria. Remember, we mentioned earlier that the true Israelites were taken out of the land and gentiles were placed in the land. 2 Kings 17 makes mention of how even though these gentiles were taught the practices of the true Israelites, they still gave reverence to the gods of their native lands. For example, the commandments state that one must remember the Sabbath to keep it holy.
Though the Samaritans kept the Sabbath, instead of reverencing the Most High on this day, they would give reverence to their gods and idols on the Sabbath. This can be read in 2 Kings 17:17-41. This is why Christ told the Samaritan woman that she had no idea what she was worshipping. Though she believed she was worshipping the God of Israel, she in reality was given reverence to the idols of her forefathers (2Kings 17:41).
The biggest deception in Christianity is the understanding of John 3:16.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Let’s examine this scripture for a second. The same John that wrote John 3:16 is the same John that wrote John 17:9:
Joh 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
How can Christ in one breath state that God loves the world, yet Christ states that he doesn’t even do as much as pray for this world. Yet he prays for those who were given unto him. Who are they? Before we show that lets now go to John 13:1:
Joh 13:1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
John 13:1 states that Christ showed love unto his own that were in the world; not the whole world. Who was Christ’s own:
Mat 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
1Jn 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
This is where some may get confused. How can the scriptures in one breath state that God loves the world; yet in another breath state that if a man so much as love this world, the love of the Father is not in Him. Now it’s time we get the true understanding of John 3:16.
When someone reads John 3:16, rarely do they read a few verses up:
Joh 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
When Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, he didn’t lift up the brazen serpent to the whole world. In order to get the understanding of this, you must read Num. 21 to get the understanding as to why and who Moses raised up the serpent to:
Num 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Num 21:7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
Num 21:8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
Num 21:9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
We can see that according to Numbers 21:6-9 that the serpent was raised up before the nation of Israel. So the same way Moses raised up the serpent in the wilderness to heal the Israelites, Christ was raised up for the same reason.
Joh 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
In this society, we are taught that only definition of world is the whole universe and its inhabitants. Yet, common sense tells us that there more than one definitions for the word world. You have the fashion world, the hip-hop world, the old world, the new world, the western world, the world of rock and roll, etc.
The word world also can refer to one particular facet of society. So the question is what world is John 3:16 referring to:
Isa 45:17 But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
We can see that according to the Bible, Israel is referred to as a world of its own.
Another deception that Christians try to use is John 1:11-12.
Joh 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Christians try to use this scripture to make it seem as though all the Israelites rejected Christ; therefore beginning a new covenant in which the gentiles are included while the Israelites are excluded. Yet once again, that idea can be refuted with just dealing with common sense.
It states in John 1:111 that Christ only came to his own people which were the Israelites.
It doesn’t say that he went to anyone else besides his own.
Therefore, those who received him had to be of his own people. So that no one gets confused, here’s a scripture that brings total clarity:
Joh 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
Christians try to make it seem as if all Jews rejected Christ, yet we can read in John 8:31 of Jews that believed in Christ.
Joh 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
