I say, then, Did they stumble that they might fall? let it not be! but by their fall the salvation is to the nations, to arouse them to jealousy
Romans 11:7-11


Salvation was to all nations anyway. All nations would be blessed through Abraham!!! Melchesidek, the King of Salem, (Jerusalem before the Isrealites of old invaded it)was a priest unto God. Was he a Jew? No. Yet here we find faithful Abraham paying homage to this priest of the Most High God by giving a tenth of all he had. Why??? Because the law saves no man. God is only pleased by F A I T H.... There were many prophets of God who were not even remotely associated with the Jews. Did that make them least in the household of faith? NO it didn't, they were justified by faith just like Abraham.

Now this brings us to a question that we can't just cast aside especially since so many Christians use it as a defense for the Jews. Are, or have the Jews ever been till this day aroused to jealousy? Heck no!!!! They don't care spit about Jesus Christ!!!! Jealous??? You can go from kingergarten till college years and not even find mentioned the name of Jesus in the curriculum. Provoked to jealousy??? Hardly!!!

It is dangerous to just take a few scriptures and build a doctrine about it if that doctrine doesn't line up with the central theme woven through the entire old and new testaments.
