1st Corinthians 12:13, "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

 14 For the body is not one member, but many.

 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?

 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.

 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you."

The original congregation of Messianic believers were all Jewish.  The Jews were promised a leading role:

Genesis 49:1, “Then Jacob called together all his sons and said, “Gather around me, and I will tell you what is going to happen to you in the acharit-hayamim [last days]…

8 ‘Judah, your brothers will praise you…

—— 10 The scepter will not depart from Judah,  ——

 nor the ruler’s staff from his descendants,

 until the coming of the one [Heb: Shiloh] to whom it belongs,

 the one whom all nations will obey."

I Kings 11:9-13, “And YHWH was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from YHWH, El of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods, but he kept not that which YHWH commanded. Wherefore YHWH said unto Solomon: Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the king­dom from thee, and I will give unto thy servant. Not­withstanding, in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father’s sake; but will rend it out of the hand of thy son. Howbeit, I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant’s sake”

2 Chronicles 13:4-5, “Abijah stood upon mount Zemaraim in Ephraim and declared:  “Hear me, thou Jeroboam and all Israel.  Ought ye not to know that YHWH, El of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever and to his sons by a covenant of salt?”           ***  Matthew 5:13 ***

 

David and his SONS of Judah hold the scepter upon this earth (Genesis 49:10, Matt 16:18) – not Levi, not Lutheran, not Roman Catholic, not Mormon, not the twenty-three flavors of Baptist, not the eighteen flavors of Pentecostal, not any “Church of Christ”.  Peter was the Apostle to the CIRCUMCISION (Gal. 2:7-8, Rom 3:1-2). Not “all Israel”- only the TRIBE of Judah!

The church has NOT replaced the Jews.

Zechariah 8:23 “This is what YHWH Almighty says: In those days ten men from nations and languages around the world will clutch at the hem of one Jew’s robe. And they will say, ‘Please let us walk with you, for we have heard that YHWH is with you.’”

I am not a Jew, but I can read, learn and teach.
