Two Separate Groups

Jesus comes back to the earth twice, once for His Bride (before the great tribulation) and separately for Israel (at the end of the seven year period).

Because of many teachings discounting Israel and redefining their irrevocable covenant applying to the church, most believers have not properly understood certain aspects of Scripture.

Why would Paul, an expert in The Mosaic Law, be selected to bring forth the mystery of the church and much of the revelation of the New Testament?  Israel consistently failed to walk in the Fear of THE LORD which caused them much suffering.  The Book of Judges demonstrated their deliverance multiple times only to revert back to unrighteousness.  However, FATHER’S Word is irrevocable and can be fully trusted.  It is absolute Truth!  Their experience should be considered as patterns for our instruction.

Jesus walked the earth as a Jew and fully understood the Law AND Its Intent.  Several of His parables defied Mosaic Law which indicated that there was a separate group of people who would become His Bride.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 13:

10  And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”

11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but to them it has not been given.

12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

To whom had Jesus been preaching?  The Jews, including the scribes and Pharisees.  He healed on the Sabbath.  He forgave sins.  He and His disciples pluck heads of grain on the Sabbath.  He told the lame man to take up his bed on the Sabbath.

Jesus made it abundantly clear in Matthew chapter 12:

3  But Jesus said to them (the Pharisees), “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:

4 how he entered the House of God and ate the showbread which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?

5 Or have you not read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?

6 Yet I say to you that in this place there is One greater than the temple.

7 But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless.

8 For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 13:

33 Another parable He spoke to them: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened.”

Leaven was seen as unlawful for the Jews to use to make bread.  This parable applied to the Gentiles who would have The Word preached to them throughout the earth so that they could receive salvation through their adoption by FATHER.

Matthew chapter 13:

44   “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

The field is the world and Jesus gave His Life for the entire world, not just the Jews.

45  “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,

46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.”

A pearl is not kosher or clean in the eyes of the Jews yet Jesus sold all He had (i.e. His Life) and give It for such a treasure (the world).

47  “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind,

48 which, when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away.

49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just,

50 and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”

The fish were not limited to Jews, but all men were separated into two groups: the just and the wicked.  FATHER’S justice will determine every person’s outcome.  We have the decision whether to submit to His Righteousness or pursue the world and its trappings.  We determine our outcome.

Finally, Jesus concluded with:

51 Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”

52 He responded, “Every scholar of the Scriptures, who is instructed in the ways of Heaven’s Kingdom realm, is like a wealthy home owner with his house filled with treasures both new (Gentiles) and old (Jews).”
