<<No one has ever said the Gentiles will be cut off only you have said that Israel has and will be cut off. >>
It's not me who said it , read for yourself:
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate Matt. 23:27-28
As you can see, these are the words of the rightful king of Jerusalem who was rejected. If that's not being cut of then what is it? If one of the prophets of the old testament had prophesied this curse over one of the heathen nations, the rabbis and other teachers would have relished and gloated over it.
This isn't to say that God has forsaken the nation, because for the time being grace is extended to all men. However it does mean that God will never again deal with that nation as He had in ancient times. Chris |
