Once more Shalom you prove that you can cut and paste Scriptrues
well. However, your understanding of what you paste is lacking.
God through His mercy provided a transitional period for the
ancient Jews who lived between Jesus' Resurrection and the
destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D. This was the transition from
the Old Covenant to the New Covenant in Jesus' Blood. It is easy to understand the
special mercies and grace of God in this period. The ancient
Jews were faced with the painful decision of abandoning the Old Covenant
with its God ordained Priesthood, its Temple, its Ark of the Covenant etc., and
turn to Immanuel--God Incarnate. For a time both existed simultaneously under
the Grace of God. God permitted this state of transition exist while
He began to pour out His Holy Spirit and empower His Apostles
and His Church with the many gifts that proved that the Messiah had
indeed come and the New Covenant had been established and the old
was passing away.
This speical period of Grace on the ancient Jews for the transition
from the Old Covenant to the New ended with God brought a final
end to the Old Covenant by destroying the Temple, the genealogy,
the Ark of the Covenant, the Priesthood.
The promises to Abraham and to his seed had been fulfilled in Christ.
The nation of ancient Israel had been trasformed from the shadow
into the full substance of the Body of Christ--the Church.
The holy remnant of Israel had been trasformed into a Holy Nation
a Divine priesthood to bring forth the glories of God.
These ancient Christian Jews went out as a Holy Nation and priesthood
and converted the whole world to Jesus Christ. All nations
came to their feet to hear of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob--Jeus
Christ.
--------------------------
The only real Jews in the world today are the descendants of this
Holy nation--Christians. Those that call themselves Jews and are
not Christians are the "Synagogue of Satan".

Rom. 2
28: For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the
flesh:
29: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not
in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Phil. 3
2: Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision(circumcision).
3: For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and
have no confidence in the flesh.

Gal. 3
Chapter: Gal.5
1: Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again
with the yoke of bondage.
6: For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which
worketh by love.
