God Has NOT Forgotten His Chosen!

SF, Stagecoach, NV


Dear Brothers & Sisters,
            It came up in Bible Study, which Jews will be saved; many agreed the “Messianic” Jews will be, since they’ve accepted Christ.  Yet, ALL of God’s Chosen are under a different Covenant.  first they were under the Laws of Moses, which didn’t start until they came out of 450 years of bondage in Egypt with all their knowledge of idols, including serving the flesh.  That’s a lot of generations (11.25 [x40=450 yrs] not having God talk to them. 
Before God had them taken in captivity, you tell me, was God just?  The Levites’ sins are listed in Ezekiel 8:1-18 read it, it certainly shocked me, but now I understand the “WOE” to them.  Does this sound like followers of God?  No wonder during the millennium, the Levites will not come near God’s table (Ezekiel 44:6-16) it will be the Zadok lineage, for they honored the Lord's Sanctuary.
Paul, in the Book of Romans, (11:25-28) didn’t want us to be ignorant.  All mankind will have the option to freely choose Jesus or not.  Be forgiven or not.  Obey Him or not.  Life on earth is our right to choose how we live it, with or without Jesus and His blessings in our lives.  I must tell you, I’ve asked God to make me into a robot, so I wouldn’t offend Him in anyway!  Needless to say – I got a very strong NO!  The Lord gets no honor or glory when He chooses, only when we freely choose to obey Him.  Plus the Bible says in (Revelation 19:8), “It was given to her (the church) to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.”  So it’s the “right” acts of God we do that clothes the bride of Jesus.
Oops, I’ve gotten carried away forgive me, here are some of the Scriptures that will help you understand that one of the Book(s) (Revelation 20:12) that opens at the Day of Judgment, is the Book of “Remembrance”.  This is a book God created for the Jewish men who honored God in what they spoke about and knew to do.  At the time this book was created; there were no teachers, priests or scribes and many of the Jews were in captivity, but they talked to God without a them and probably hoped for the best. 
Malachi 3:16-18  NASB
16  “Then they that feared Jehovah spake one with another; and Jehovah hearkened, and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before him, for them that feared Jehovah, and that thought upon his name.
17  And they shall be mine, saith Jehovah of hosts, even mine own possession, in the day that I make; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
18  Then shall ye return (Jesus) and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.”

We’ve had an easier choice today, as in the days of Acts, each Christian has the Holy Spirit to guide, teach and comfort them, which only a few in the Old Testament received.

Acts 9:31 NASB
 “So the church throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified; and, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was multiplied

            We need to multiply the Church as this Scripture says; be at peace, edify the body – gently guide them in the Word, by trusting in the comfort of the Holy Spirit to convict the sinners or prodigals of their sin.  Pray, intercede for them….Love them, as Christ loved the church.  Always keep in mind, He Loved us first – before we were even lovable!  Can we do any less?

John 16:8-11  NASB
8  "And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;”
9  concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;
10  and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me;
11  and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

Blessings to All,
The Lord’s Servant – Sandy F
