Richard 640 17:44 The Importance of Romans 11 in the New Testament

Posted by North @ 18:51 on December 22, 2014  

I agree with John Hagee, but I disagree with Ekhardt and Cook. The fault is not in the New Testament, the fault is in misinterpretations of the New Testament. This is what John Hagee, a new and old Testament scholar, keeps pointing out. If the New Testament is understood, then observing Christians would understand that the Jews have a covenant with God that will never be broken, and this covenant promised them that they will remain the chosen people of God, and through them, and them alone, salvation comes. They, in fact, cannot be replaced by anyone. It is through them that Christ (Yeshua) appeared, and through them that Yeshua’s message was transmitted from one end of the earth to the other. Hagee has it right, and he would not be in agreement with Ekhardt and Cook on the New Testament, but would say that the New Testament has been misinterpreted and twisted out of shape by anti-Semites to fulfil their agenda, not God’s.

Paul, whose Hebrew name is and remains, Shaul, warns the gentiles who have been grafted into the Jewish tree that they should be aware that they owe their salvation to the Jews, and should act accordingly. If you want to verify this, read Romans 11. Romans 11 is the key to understanding the importance of the Jews to the spiritual past and the spiritual future. And as Hagee often points out we can find God’s eternal promise in Geneis 12:3. “He who blesses you (the Jewish people) will be blessed, and he who curses you will be cursed.” And if you look at history closely, you will see that God has cursed nations that have cursed the Jews, and blessed nations that have blessed them. I think anyone in doubt about the intentions of the New Testament regarding the Jews should read Romans 11. In Chrisitain congregations who believe they have replaced the Jews as the chosen people never read Romans 11 for obvious reasons. Organizations, like Christians United For Israel, know Romans 11 inside out.

I would also advise not letting other people read the New Testament for you and letting them tell you what it is about. I notice that Cook and Eckhardt never mention Romans 11.
