The Salvation of All
"Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel…I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people…they ALL shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more." (Jeremiah 31:31, 33-34)
Like the old covenant, this new covenant is with ISRAEL. It will be establish when they are resurrected by Jesus their Messiah when he comes to earth again to establish his Millennial Kingdom. ISRAEL will become priests and "reign with him" over the present earth "for a thousand years".
“This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.” (Revelation 20:5-6)
Over the past 2000 years, God has caused blindness to happen to Israel. As a nation they still do not acknowledge that Jesus is their Messiah. But when they do, God will “forgive their iniquity”, and “all Israel will be saved”.
“For I (Jesus) tell you, (Israel) you will not see me again until you say blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord"... "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, there shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.” (Matthew 23:39; Romans 11:25-26)
During this time of blindness, God is revealing through the revelations given to the Apostle Paul His intent to save ALL mankind in His Grace, both Jew and Gentile.
“…the Grace of God has appeared bringing salvation to all men…Christ Jesus, who gave himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed… for there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time…it is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance, for it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men…for as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive…that God may be All in all.” (Titus 2:11-14; 1 Timothy 2:5-6; 4:9-10; 1 Corinthians 15:22-28)
It is not rocket science, just a matter of reading the Bible and believing what it says – and ignoring the "myths and commandments of men" made up over the years. A turning away from the truth given to Paul had begun before Paul died and continues today. Paul reproved them and so should we...
“…reprove them severely so that they may be sound in the faith, not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth… Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you. You are aware of the fact that all who are in Asia turned away from me.” (Titus 1:13-14; 2 Timothy 2:14-15)
