"<<At first only a few Jews accepted Jesus.>> Can I ask you exactly what you are meaning here, Emile? After the Crucifixion, only a few hundred and possibly a few thusand Jews remained faith ful to the Crucified Jesus. The Resurrection of Jesus prouduced a great turmoil in Jerusalem and many other Jews became believers. After the Ascension of Jesus and the baptism of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the number of Jewish believers increased geometrically. Five thousand were saved from only one of Peter's sermons. Shortly after the Scriptures tell us that a multitude of Priests were converted. Before the Temple was destroyed in 70 A.D., it is estimated that there were over 100, 000 Jews who had accepted Jesus as their Messiah. After the destruction of the Temple, thousands upon thousand of Jews converted as they saw the Words of Jesus and the prophets fulfilled and saw the end of old covenant Temple Judaism. They saw that there remained no other sacrifice for their sins but the sacrifice of Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God. Jesus Messiahship became fully apparent at that time to those with the faith of Abraham. So (thus) was all Israel saved as Paul had predicted. The new Israel of God, the Christian Church, was exclusively made up of Jews in the first decades of its existence. It is these Jews who went out into pagan Europe, Asia Minor and Northern Africa and established the Christian Chruch. These Jews converted memebers of every nation and tongue to the New Israel of God---the Body of Christ or the Christian Church. At first only a few Jews had accepted Christ but a few years later all of the real Israel of God came to Jesu for salvation. This remnanat of hundreds of thousands of Jews fulfilled the Old Test. prophecies about God final redemtion of His People. These Jewish Christians established the foundation of the Christian Church and then went out to convert the world to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. All nations came to the feet of these Jews to learn of Jesus Christ.
