SOON THE JEWS WILL SPIRITUALLY "SEE" !

The Jewish people have never lacked resourcefulness. They have proven successful in almost every field of endeavour, with the exception of spiritual perception and obedience to the Will of God. Because of their defiance, the Lord has dulled their sensibilities until they are stirred to emulate "a nation that is no nation". (Rom 11:7 12 10:19 NEB). That "nation" is one gathered out of many nations, which our Lord prophesied would be gathered to Him by Holy Spirit, namely the 144,000. (2 Cor 1:21,22.  Rev 7:4). Now that the predetermined number of them is complete, Jehovah is turning His attention to the gathering of the "great crowd", including the Jews that remain.  (Rev 7:9,10)  (John 10:16).  The Christ will remove the insensibility of the Jews, giving them spiritual perception!

REMOVING "STUMBLING BLOCKS" TO SAVE JEWS THROUGH ENVY.
The curse from our Lord is written: "Let their table (1) become for them a snare and a trap and a stumbling block and a retribution; let their eyes become darkened so as not to see, and always bow down (2) their back."  (Rom 11:9,10).

The Jews have an excessive preoccupation with ritualistic observances such as those over foods ("their table" (1)), so much so that they have become a snare and a trap to their spiritual growth.  (Rom 11:9,10 NEB).  Even though many Jews obey the Mosaic Law as regards food consumption, righteousness cannot be attained merely by such observances. Some even "bow down (2) their backs unceasingly" to an old city wall to pray!  But the time is fast approaching for a Jewish remnant to be saved.

As it is written: "...this partial blindness has come upon Israel only until the Gentiles have been admitted in full strength; when that has happened, the whole of Israel will be saved, in agreement with the text of Scripture: 'From Zion shall come the Deliverer; he shall remove wickedness from Jacob. And this is the covenant I will grant them, when I take away their sins.'"  (From Rom 11:25-27 NEB).  This cannot take place  until their dulled sensibilities are corrected and they can spiritually "see" the "Way of Holiness".  (Isaiah 35:8-10).

Only through The Christ can repentant ones begin the process of spirit reconciliation and have their sins and the spirit of uncleanness removed. (See Zech 12:10 to 13:2). While many Jews have an ill-informed zeal for God, they cannot be saved by it. (Rom 10:1-21 NEB). Only righteousness acquired through active faith according to accurate knowledge of God can save them     righteous conduct by the principles of the Word of God The Christ Michael. While due regard must be given to the Mosaic Law according to the scripture, "Remember the Law of Moses My servant, the rules and precepts which I bade him deliver to all Israel at Horeb", the enmity between Jew and Gentile created by the issuance of the Mosaic Law to the Jews has been abolished by The Christ. (Mal 4:4 NEB). Christ has abolished the enmity "that he might create the two peoples in union with himself into one new man and make peace" (Eph 2:14-16).

Salvation for the Gentiles through The Christ is intended to stir the Jews to emulate them.  (Rom 11:11 NEB).  And as the "good news" has already come to a finish, they will be gathered out of their fear of calamities from God taking place on earth. (Rev 10:7 & 11:13). For those Jews being saved, "stumbling blocks" such as their isolationist   behaviour expressed through "outlandish fashions" and ritual observances must cease.  (See Pages 14/1/85A and 14/1/85B).
