h)There is neither Jew nor Gentile (Galatians 3:28)
and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree..." This truly is a 'mystery'
as Paul suggests. Those Gentiles who come to faith in the risen Jewish Messiah are 'brought near'
(Eph 2:12) "That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth
of Israel, and
strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
Eph 2:13 "But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by
the blood of Messiah"
and then Yahweh/God desires to make us (if we are willing...)
'grafted in' i.e. made a part of the Olive Tree and then to begin to take nourishment
from the roots, and be nurtured by Him.
Therefore, we are able to conclude that:
Yahweh cares about the Gentiles and spoke of them through the prophets
f) A greater righteousness
Gentiles are to “Walk not as other Gentiles walk…” (Ephesians 2:11 and 4:11)
in order to be “…fellow heirs…” (Ephesians 3:6) acceptable to the
holy Elohim of Israel. So that the “Offering up of the Gentiles may be acceptable” (Romans 15:16)
It is Yahweh’s plan that the Gentiles should be brought in,“…until the fullness of the
Gentiles be brought in…”(Romans 11:25)
g) A blessed people
In Romans 15 Paul says; “There shall be a root of Jesse, and He that shall rise to
reign over the Gentiles: in Him shall the Gentiles trust. Be
filled with all joy and peace in believing…through the power of the Holy Spirit.”
“Praise Yahweh all you Gentiles!” He talks about the Gentiles
glorifying Yahweh for His mercy, he says “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with His people”
and “In Yahshua shall the Gentiles trust” The Gentiles are
blessed through Yahshua, they too have a part to play and an identity in the
Commonwealth of all Israel. They have “ been made partakers of
their spiritual things…”
In Galatians Paul expressly states that in the Body of Yahshua there is neither Jew nor Gentile, just as there is no bondman or free man, there
is neither male nor female. He states“We are all one” All these natural divisions are gone, we are a part of a new creation, in Him. We are no
longer separate beings, but all part of His glorious Body, His building in Messiah, Yahshua.
He then states: “…you are all one in Messiah Yahshua, and if you be Messiah’s,
then are you Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the
promise.
This is the reason that it is foolishness to think there are two separate peoples in
Yahshua’s body, we are ONE. We may look different on the
outside, some wear tsit tsit, some wear skirts, others trousers, some are from
natural Jewish stock, some are from the nations, England, Iraq, China, Africa etc.
but Yahshua said “The Kingdom of heaven is within you” We are all part
of an unseen kingdom, and in that kingdom, in the Body of Yahshua, we are equal,
we are ONE. Paul speaks of the Gentiles being 'grafted in' to the
Olive Tree which is Israel in Romans 11:17 "For I
speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles...
and if some of the branches be broken off, and thou,
being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them,
Yahshua ministered to multitudes of them (Matt.4:24-25) and to individuals (Matt. 8:5-13)
Salvation was sent to them too (Acts 28:28)
The “door of faith” has been opened for them (Acts14:27)
He designed for Yahshua to be their light
The Gentiles are to 'trust in His Name' (Matt. 12:21)
The Gentiles are able to flock to Yahshua and trust in Him
His blood has cleansed the Gentiles of their sins
They are fellow partakers of the Holy Spirit (Acts 10:45)
They are part of Yahshua’s Body
They shall be healed by the tree in the midst of the River of Life
They shall be in the New Jerusalem
They are fellow-heirs and one with the Olive Tree
In Yahshua they are made one with the Israel of faith.
