The Apostle Paul said, "God hath not cast away His people which He foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, 'Lord, they have killed Thy prophets, digged down Thine altars, I am left alone and they seek my life.' What saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. {..} [Israel refused her Messiah the Lord Jesus] ... To the ingrafting of the Gentiles I say then, Have they [Jews] stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall - salvation is come to the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh [the Jews], and might save some of them. For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou [Gentiles], being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree."![]() Romans 11:1-2, 3-6, 7-17, 18-24 July 2015, Pete Garcia* - God plants us in the times we live in, and uses us and our gifted abilities, to speak to the things the Holy Spirit leads us to speak. Whether you are Polycarp, Martin Luther or a modern day lay person who loves and obeys the Lord Jesus, we each address mankind in the times in which we live. Christ Himself would build (future tense) His Church: (Matt. 16:16-19) Although the Gospel of the Kingdom was not shared with the Gentiles during Christ’s earthly ministry, (Matt. 10:5-6; 15:24), Israel’s rejection of her Messiah, opened up the door of salvation to all - including Gentiles. The Apostle Paul, a former Pharisee who hated and persecuted Christians [Acts 8:1-8], was given the ministry to the Gentiles (Gal. 2:8,Rom. 15:15-16, 2 Tim. 1:11). He was given personal, progressive revelation directly from the risen Christ, specifically about the Church and the mysteries surrounding this new body of believers (Gal. 1:11-12, Eph. 3:8). Paul learned that the Church mystery was/is hidden in Christ. (Col. 1:26, Eph. 3:9; 5:32) Although there were now three categories of people: Jews, Gentiles and the Church (1 Cor. 10:32); there is neither Jew nor Gentile, male nor female, slave nor free, INSIDE the body of Christ. (Gal. 3:28) We are all one born again body in the Lord Jesus. (Mark 3:3, 7; Col. 1:18, 1 Cor. 12:12) A significant portion of professing Christian denominations are caving - succumbing to - on a number of moral and spiritual issues, which only emboldens those who hate Christ. So, in keeping with the model of the Seven Churches as found in Revelation 2:1, 3:1, we see the final stages playing out before our eyes, and know, that the last church age, is that of the lukewarm, nauseating church in whom Christ spews out of His mouth. *Excerpted and adapted full original message here Comments are closed.
