It is very troubling to me that the American
Congress, Senate, and Supreme Court seats are filled with religiously pious anti-Israel showmen
and political puppets/puppeteers. The evil demoncrat party is 100% staffed with
anti-Christ, anti-American, and anti-Israel racist terrorists that have
literally gone to the dogs racing at break-neck-speed on the shady and slippery
highway to hell ever since muslim barak hussain obama’s tyrannous political/religious
coup in 2000.
It is a National shame and a societal moral
disgrace that a great deal of double-talking Americans claiming to speak as
Christians, while actually not having any relationship at all with Elohei, or
any clear understanding at all of Scripture – or what it means to BE a
Christian, have been so hoodwinked and self-hypnotized that they continue to
place these wicked morons in seats of governmental power.
As I have stated numerous times before, one
cannot be a Christian and be a politician … it is like mixing oil and water: it
does not blend and always results in a slimy mess.
It is also glaringly obvious that many people
claiming to be Christians do NOT KNOW their Bible! So let today’s study be a
refresher course, and maybe – just maybe an eye-opener also to prod them back
onto the straight and narrow.
THE BOOK OF ROMANS ~Chapter 9
I am telling the truth in Christ, and am not
lying. In this my conscience bears me witness in The Ruach. I have great sorrow
and the pain in my heart is unceasing. Indeed, I could even wish that I myself
might be sentenced to separation from Mashiach if that would help my brethren, my
own blood relatives. They are Israelites, Elohei’s Chosen People. Elohim gave
them the glory, the covenants, The Law, the Temple service, and the promises.
The patriarchs are of their race, and even Mashiach – according to the flesh –
and He is God over all, blessed be forever. Amen.
It is not, however, that the Word of God has
failed. Not all the descendants of Israel are true Israelites. And not all the
descendants of Abraham are considered the children of Abraham, for the promise
was, “Through Isaac shall your posterity be called.” This means that not those
who are natural descendants are thereby counted as Elohim’s children, but only
the children of the promise are counted. Such a promise was the word, “About
this time I will come, and Sarah shall have a son” (Genesis 17:18-21).
And again, a promise came to Rebecca when she
was to have twins by our father Isaac. The children were not yet born and they
had as yet not done anything either good or bad. And yet Elohim had made an
election and wanted His purpose to stand. It was not based on their works, but
on His own choice. He said to her, “The elder shall serve the younger.”
Scripture also put it this way, “I loved Jacob, but I rejected Esau” (Malachi
1:2).
Now, what shall we conclude? That Elohim is
unjust? That cannot be! For He said to Moshe, “I will have mercy on anyone I
choose to show mercy, and I will take pity on anyone I want to pity.” Elohim’s
mercy, then, is not on account of man’s will or his readiness, but is a matter
of Elohim’s choice. Just so, Scripture tells that he spoke to Pharaoh, “I have
raised you to high position for the reason that I want to show My power in
dealing with you, so that My Name may be made known throughout the world.” So
He shows mercy to whomever He chooses, and He hardens the heart of anyone He
chooses.
And now you ask, ‘Why does He still find
fault?’ Who of us, by resisting, can change His purpose? But, sir, who are you
to find fault with Elohim? Shall that which is made say to its maker, ‘Why did
you make me so?’ Certainly the potter has the right to make 2 different objects
out of the same lump of clay, the 1 for distinguished service and the other for
menial use. At times, Elohim is willing to show His wrath and make His power
known, yet He endures long and patiently with the objects of wrath who are fit
for destruction. He does this in order to make clear to those who are the
objects of His mercy, how rich is the glory that he has already prepared for
them. Yes, even we are objects of His mercy, Jews and Gentiles alike, as many
as He has called.
In Hosea He says, “I will call them ‘My
People’ who are not My people, and she who was not loved will be called ‘Beloved’!
And in the place where it was said, ‘You are not My People’, they will be
called ‘Sons of the living God’” (Hosea 1:10 & 2:23). Isaiah
cries out about Israel, “Though the number of Israel is as the sand of the sea,
yet only a remnant will be saved. For the Lord will carry out His orders on the
earth, concluding each matter with justice and efficiency” (Isaiah 10:22, 23).
Isaiah had also said earlier, “If the Lord of Hosts had not left us offspring
we would have become like Sodom; we would have fared like Gomorrah” (Isaiah
1:9).
What shall we conclude? That the Gentiles,
though not seeking justification, obtained justification; that is, they attained
justification by faith. But Israel, on the other hand, though seeking
justification through The Law, did not obtain justification. Why not? Because
they tried to obtain it by the works of The Law and not by faith. They stumbled
over the stone of stumbling. This is foretold in Scripture, “See! I pace in
Zion a stone of stumbling, a rock of offense. But everyone who believe on Him shall
not be put to shame” (Psalm 118:22 & Isaiah 8:14).
