Cloaks, Aprons, and Handkerchiefs

Should followers of the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) be wearing Jewish prayer shawls?

I have observed that the wearing of tallits is becoming more common in all kinds of congregations of the Children of Truth over the last decade or so.  Ministers of all stripes have appeared on television wearing tallits.  They are not just leaders in Messianic congregations nor are they only doing so while on a Holy Land tour.  Some of them do so at special occasions while others do so on a seemingly daily basis.  I have also observed that more and more tallits are appearing among the crowds at their events.

I have also noticed the same phenomenon at events that I have personally attended.  You may have noticed this too and might be wondering what is going on.  It may strike you as strange that so many Gentile Children of Truth have started wearing tallits.

In case you are not familiar the word "tallit" it is sometimes called a Jewish prayer shawl.  Modern tallits come in two basic sizes and their basic shape depends upon the size of the tallit.

The larger tallit is called a tallit gadol (great tallit) and is usually a large white rectangular cloth with blue stripes along the edges.  It will typically have border on one side with Hebrew writing called the atarah (crown) that distinguishes which side is the one to be worn over the head or around the neck.  On each corner is a tassel called tzitzit.  On each tzitzit is one one blue thread called the shamash (servant).  Some will also have shorter fringes along the edges as well.  Sometimes people wear these large tallits folded over and going over each shoulder to flow down the front like the academic stoles wore to denote some honor at a graduation ceremony.  Sometimes they are worn over the shoulders like a cape.  Other times people completely cover their heads with them and these large tallits are reminiscent of a tent.  It is often very obvious when someone is wearing tallit gadol and the tallit gadol is most likely the tallit you may have seen someone wearing.

The smaller tallit is called a tallit katan (small tallit) and usually resembles a tee shirt that is not quite sown together all the way down.  It usually has a tzitzit (tassel) on each corner with a blue thread.  It is worn under the clothing often with just the tzitzits sticking out from underneath the bottom of the shirt that is over it.  This is the type of tallit that was worn by the Jewish men in "Fiddler on the Roof".  It is can easily be missed in a crowd and the tzitzits can be hidden completely if necessary.  You are less likely to have seen someone wearing one of these tallits.

Alternatively to an actual tallit sometimes people wear just the tzitzits of a tallit on their belt loops.  They are effectively turning their everyday clothing into a tallit.

So why are more and more Jewish prayer shawls being seen among the Children of Truth?  Is this some sort of new trend that will fade away like wearing WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) bracelets?  Is this just the latest fad?  Is this from the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD)?  What does the Book of Truth (the Bible) say about tallits?

It all started with picking up sticks.

The Father of Truth provided a sacrifice for those who sinned because they were ignorant of His commandments (Numbers 15:27-29).  However there was no such provision for anyone who broke His commandments willfully in rebellion to Him (Numbers 15:30-31). [The Hebrew word translated as "presumptuously" literally means "in the face" which in context is rebelliously in the face of the Father of Truth.]  Shortly after that a man picked up sticks on the Sabbath in rebellion to His commandment to rest on the Sabbath (Numbers 15:32-33).  Since the man had done this rebelliously in the face of the Father of Truth he was stoned to death (Numbers 15:34-36).

So the Father of Truth made a new command that everyone, all Jews and all Gentiles that lived among them, were to wear a white tassel with a sky blue thread (a tzitzit) on the corner of their garments so that they would remember to keep His commandments (Numbers 15:37-40).  These tzitzits were commanded to be worn on every garment that was large enough for people to cover themselves with and their garments were not to be made of mixed materials like a wool and linen blend (Deuteronomy 22:11-12).  These tzitzits were the original WWJD bracelets and purity rings to help people remember to keep the commandments of the Father of Truth.

Originally, these tzitzits were worn on the corners of everyday clothes like belt loop tzitzits.  In fact, this commandment was for everyone to wear tzitzits on the corners of their garments so that everyone would be reminded of the commandments of the Father of Truth. So this included women and children as well as men.  There was simply no prohibition or exemption made for women and children wearing tzitzits on their clothing.  Any such prohibition or exemption came years later and is just another example of Rabbinic Distort.

Over the years, it became common for tzitzits to only be placed on the corners of the large cloak that was commonly worn to protect people from the elements.  This cloak is also called a mantle in the Book of Truth.  This cloak is where the tallit gadol came from and is the cloak or mantle that is so often mentioned in the Book of Truth.

It was probably a tallit gadol that Jael (Yael) used to cover Sisera, the oppressor of Israel, with when she lulled him to sleep so she could kill him (Judges 4:18-21). (The Kenites were Gentiles that lived in the area of Mount Sinai and came with the Jews into the Promised Land. So they probably wore tallits since the commandment applied to the Gentiles who lived among the Jews.  A quilt would be a covering for the body so it might have had tzitzits on the four corners.  So if that is the case then it was a large tallit gadol that Jael covered Sisera with.)  So this is the first time that a tallit was used in deliverance of the Children of Truth.

The corner of the tallit is called a "kanaph" and is often translated as "skirt" or "wing" instead of "corner".  The Hebrew word "kanaph" translated as "wings" is the same Hebrew word translated as "corners" in the command to wear tzitzits.  The corners of a garment are also called the wings of the garment for similar reasons that the corners of batman's cape help his cape form a wing shape on each side.  The corner of the tallit gadol is the wing or skirt of a garment that is so often mentioned in the Book of Truth.

It was the corner of the tallit gadol of Boaz that Ruth asked to be covered with to show that he was going to provide and protect her as a husband (Ruth 3:9).  In the same way the Father of Truth covered Israel with the corner of His tallit gadol to show that he was going provide and protect her as a husband (Ezekiel 16:8).  So the tallit was used to show that one is under the provision and protection of the Father of Truth.

The Prophets of Truth undoubtedly obeyed the command of the Father of Truth to put tzitzits on their garment, especially their long outer garments that covered their bodies.  These outer garment were usually rectangular in shape like a cloak so their mantles and other outer garments definitely qualify as tallit gadols.   However, these tallit gadols were not just religious garb for the Children of Truth who lived in Israel but were practical outer garments used to protect the wearer from things like sand, the sun, rain, cold weather and snow.  These tallit gadols were basically used as cloaks with tzitzits on the corners.

It was the corner of the tallit gadol of Samuel (Shmuel) that was torn when the kingdom of Israel was torn out of the hand of King Saul (Shual) (1 Samuel 15:26-28).  Years later when King Saul had the witch of Endor call up Samuel from the dead to consult him King Saul recognized Samuel by his tallit gadol (1 Samuel 28:13-15).  Samuel then affirmed that the Father of Truth would use the Philistines to finish taking the kingdom of Israel taken away from the family of King Saul  (1 Samuel 28:16-19).  So this is the first time that a tallit was used by a Prophet of Truth in announcing judgment for disobedience to the Father of Truth and the transfer of power.

In similar manner Ahijah (Achiyah) the Prophet of Truth tore his own tallit gadol into twelve pieces and gave ten of the pieces to Jeroboam to show that ten of the twelve tribes of Israel would be given to Jeroboam to rule as judgment against King Solomon (Shlomo) for turning away from the commandments of the Father of Truth (1 Kings 11:29-34).  So again a tallit was used by a Prophet of Truth in announcing judgment for disobedience to the Father of Truth and to signify the transfer of power.

When Elijah (Eliyahu) the Prophet of Truth heard the voice of the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) he wrapped his face in his tallit gadol before going out of the cave to talk with the Spirit of Truth (1 Kings 19:12-13).  This Prophet of Truth was told who to anoint to replace the wicked rulers as well as who was to be his own replacement (1 Kings 19:14-16).  This Prophet of Truth was then told that the wicked would be destroyed but the righteous would be preserved (1 Kings 19:17-18).  Then Elijah placed his tallit gadol on the shoulders of Elishah to show that Elishah was to be his replacement (1 Kings 19:19).  So again a tallit was used by a Prophet of Truth in announcing judgment for disobedience to the Father of Truth and the transfer of power.

Then Elijah used his tallit gadol to divide the Jordan river when Elishah asked for twice as much of the Spirit of Truth to be on him as Elijah (2 Kings 2:8-10).  Then Elijah signified that he was transferring the Spirit of Truth that had been on him by giving Elishah his tallit gadol (2 Kings 2:11-13).  Then Elishah put on the tallit gadol of Elijah and proved that the Spirit of Truth was now upon him by using the tallit gadol to divide the Jordan River like Elijah had done (2 Kings 2:14-15).  So not only was a tallit used for the transfer of power but it was also used for the first time to demonstrate the power of the Spirit of Truth.

The Priest of Truth also were diligent to obey the command of the Father of Truth to wear tzitzits on their mantles, cloaks and other outer garments that covered their bodies.  So their outer garments also qualified as tallit gadols.

Ezra the Priest of Truth also rent his tallit gadol when he heard of that the Jews had returned to disobedience to the commandments of the Father of Truth as soon as they returned to the Promised Land from their captivity that came from disobedience to those same commandments (Ezra 9:1-3).  Tearing his tallit gadol was part of what caused those who remained faithful to the Father of Truth to join him in earnest prayer for the Jews who returned to the Promised Land to return to obeying the commandments of the Father of Truth as well (Ezra 9:4-6).  So a tallit was used in bringing people to repentance.

In like manner, since the Children of Truth wore tzitzits on the corners of their garments in accordance with the command of the Father of Truth so that their outer garments were effectively tallit gadols.  So it is tallit gadols that the Prophets of Truth referred to in their writings.

King David prayed in his prophetic Psalm that the wicked would be covered with shame in the same way that a righteous man covers himself with a tallit gadol (Psalm 109:29).  Isaiah (Yeshayahu) the Prophet of Truth also said that the Man of Truth would cover himself with zeal for the Father of Truth like a man covering himself with a tallit gadol (Isaiah 59:17-21).  So the Children of Truth are spoken of by the Prophets of Truth as covering themselves with tallits.

These large rectangular garments had taken more or less the form of a modern tallit gadol by the time that the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) came to the Earth.  There were variations in the exact color scheme that distinguished different Jewish sects like the Pharisees and Sadducees from each other just as there are variations to distinguish Jewish sects like the Chasidic and the Conservative today.  Still for most Jews in Israel when the Man of Truth preached these tallit gadols were still won as practical outer garments used to protect the wearer from the elements.  The Children of Truth were still commonly wearing tallit gadols as cloaks with tzitzits on the corners in Israel and throughout the other countries where they had been scattered. 

The Prophets of Truth said there was healing in the corners of the tallit gadol, where the tzitzits were, of the Man of Truth (Malachi 4:2).  It is for this reason that the woman with the issue of blood had confidence in what the the Father of Truth said through the Prophets of Truth that lead to her touching the tzitzits on the corners of the tallit gadol of the Man of Truth (Matthew 9:20-22).  [The Greek word translated as "hem" literally means "tassel".]  It is for this same reason that the people of Gennesaret also sought to touch the tzitzits of the tallit gadol of the Man of Truth (Matthew 14:34-36).  [The same Greek word is also translated as "border".]  In fact the people there brought out all of their sick people into the streets of every village and every one of them who touched the tzitzits of the tallit gadol of the Man of Truth were healed (Mark 6:53-56).  All of them were healed just like the woman with the issue of blood was healed when her confidence in what the Father of Truth had spoken lead her to touch the tzitzits of the tallit gadol of the Man of Truth (Luke 8:43-44).  So the tallit gadol of the Man of Truth was used to bring prophecies of healing to fulfillment.  Once again a tallit was used to demonstrate the power of the Spirit of Truth.

The Prophets of Truth also said that those who pierced the hands and feet of the Man of Truth would cast lots upon his tallit gadol (Psalm 22:16-18). [The word translated as "vesture" is literally "a splendid garment" which is fitting description of a tallit gadol.]  So when the Man of Truth was crucified those who drove the nails into his hands and feet cast lots on his tallit gadol (Matthew 27:35).  Those who crucified the Man of Truth cast lots on his tallit gadol to determine which of the other garments each man would get (Mark 15:24).  Those who crucified him did not know that they were fulfilling the words of the Prophets of Truth when they cast their lots on his tallit gadol (Luke 23:33-34).  Those who crucified him cast lots afterwards for the tallit gadol of the Man of Truth because a tallit gadol is woven as a single piece of cloth without seams so dividing it into pieces would have ruined its value (John 19:23-24).  So the same tallit gadol that was used to fulfill prophecies of healing was used to fulfill prophecies of the death of the Man of Truth.  Once again a tallit was used in delivering the Children of Truth.

So the Children of Truth wore tallits from the time that the Father of Truth first gave the commandment to put tzitzits on the corners of their clothes until the death of the Man of Truth.  What about after the Man of Truth came back to life and left the Earth?

Examining the life of Paul the Jew (Shual aka Saul aka the Apostle Paul) should make the answer clear.

Paul the Jew forged a business relationship with Lydia the Jew when they met together on the river with the other Jews on the Sabbath at the river because she sold the blue dye used for the blue thread that was on the tzitzit on each corner of a tallit (Acts 16:13-15).

(Lydia the Jew was a seller of purple, a “porphyropōlis” in Greek, which was a literally someone that sold the garments dyed from the murex snail that was commonly called the purple fish due to the dye that was extracted from it.  This dye was very expensive as it took about 60,000 snails to produce one pound of dye.  This dye would color cloth to a deep purple if the cloth was kept in complete darkness during the dyeing process until the dye was set.  However, this same dye but would turn to a sky blue if the cloth was exposed fully to the sun on a cloudless day immediately after being dipped in the dye.  This was the Tyrian purple that emperors sought for their ceremonial clothes.  This was also the dye that was used for the “tekeleth” (sky blue) thread required to be on each the tzitzits on the corner of the each garment known as a tallit.   If Paul the Jew made tallits, then he would need to buy these sky blue threads from Lydia giving him a business association with her that he could build upon.  Of course, there would be no need for this dye in tent making because the cost of the dyed cloth was so prohibitively expensive that one of the Roman Emperors denied his wife a dress that was made completely from this cloth due the cost.  It would have also had very little use in making scene sets as well for the same reasons. So it is tallits that Paul the Jew made.)

Paul the Jew earned his living making tallits that he sold to other Jews and the Gentiles that joined themselves to the Jews (Acts 18:2-4).

(The Greek word, “skēnopoios” translated as "tentmakers" is literally someone that makes a “skene”.  The Greek word “skene” in the strictest literal sense was originally a tent used for holding props and for actors changing costumes in a Greek play.  The “skene” then became the hut that performed the same function as well as served as a place to attach the various backdrops when acts changed in the play.  The “skene” then became larger to the point that the side facing the audience became the entire backdrop for the play.  The English word “scene” used in theater comes from the Greek word “skene”.  So Paul the Jew would have been making scene sets for the Greek theaters that were present in the large urban areas that he went to, if “skēnopoios” is meant to be taken in the most strictly literal sense.  This is not entirely unreasonable since Jews had lived in Greece for more than five hundred years by this point and were heavily involved in the theater.  However, the Greek word “skene” itself came from the Hebrew word “shakan” that means “tent”, which is what the “skene” originally was.  The Hebrew word “shakan” is also the word that is the root of “mishkan” which is the Tabernacle.  So in the Septuagint and the Renewed Covenant  (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) the Greek word “skene” is used for the Tabernacle.  So Paul the Jew would have been making tents, if “skēnopoios” is meant to be taken in a less than strictly literal sense.  This was possible, but not as practical, since most people lived in houses instead of tents in the urban areas where he ministered.  However, there was also a figurative use of “skene” to denote a tallit because a tallit is symbolic of being wrapped in the Spirit of Truth and conveys the same symbolic meaning as the Tabernacle where the Spirit of Truth dwelt, which is a “skene” in Greek.  So Paul the Jew would have been making tallits, if “skēnopoios” is meant to be taken in a figurative sense.  This was very practical since the needed tools were easy to carry, he could carry the blue threads, and there was a demand for tallits every where that Jews lived.  It is impossible to determine if Paul the Jew was making scene sets, tents or tallits based on this verse alone.  However it is obvious that tallit maker is meant when one considers the entirety of the verses that give information about his trade.)

Not only did Paul the Jew make tallit gadols but he also made tallit katans that he sent out in his place to bring healing to the Children of Truth that he could not personally go to due to his work in the yeshiva of Tyrannus the Jew (Acts 19:9-12). [A Jewish yeshiva is literally a school of disputing.]

(These handkerchiefs were small tallits (four corner garments with a blue thread on the tassels (tzitzits) on the corners) that Jews had worn hidden under their normal clothing since the time of the Maccabees.  This was so that the Syrian Greeks during the time of the Maccabees would not know that the Jews were keeping the commandment of God concerning their clothes, because the Syrian Greeks had made wearing tallits a death penalty crime in their zeal to assimilate everyone into the Greek culture.  These aprons were mid-sized tallits shaped like a workman's apron that were worn around the waist and under the outer garments after wearing tallits stop being a death penalty crime but Jews were still being persecuted for wearing the tallit gadol.  These aprons were not completely hidden as the tzitzits could be seen when close to the wearer but they were a lot less noticeable the tallit gadol that was worn like a cloak.  The tzitzits could also be hidden quickly to avoid persecution. (The Rabbis later ruled that these had to be made larger and had go completely around the body so these aprons and handkerchiefs became the modern tallit katans similar to those worn in the movie “Fiddler on the Roof”. )  Paul the Jew could have made many of these tallit katans himself since that was his trade.)

The Father of Truth wraps Himself in light like the Children of Truth wrapping themselves in a tallit gadol (Psalm 104:1-2).  This made the tallit gadol remarkably important to the Jewish Children of Truth like Paul the Jew even when he was facing certain death and greatly desired to see Timothy the Jew (Timotheus) before he died in Rome (2 Timothy 4:6-9).  Yet Paul the Jew considered his tallit gadol so important that he sent Timothy the Jew (Timotheus) hundreds of miles out of his way to fetch it before coming to see him during his final imprisonment in Rome (2 Timothy 4:13).  This tallit gadol was so important to Paul the Jew that he wanted Timothy the Jew to make this side trip despite his urgent desire for Timothy the Jew to arrive in Rome before winter when all travel would cease (2 Timothy 4:21).  Paul the Jew greatly valued his tallit gadol.

(The Greek word translated “cloke” here is “phailonēs” which comes from the Greek word for beaming rays of light, “phainō” and carries the idea of being clothed in light.  This Greek word was used by Jews to denote a tallit gadol because when the tallit gadol was worn it was an earthly representation of the Father of Truth being clothed in light.  This Greek word is used no where else in the Renewed Covenant but it is used in other ancient Greek literature to refer to a tallit gadol.  Paul the Jew might have made this tallit gadol himself since that was his trade.)

So there can be no doubt that Paul the Jew made tallits when one considers all that the Book of Truth tells us about his trade.  After the resurrection many of the Children of Truth continued to wear the tallit gadol like the Man of Truth had worn.  In fact it was so common among the Gentile Children of Truth until about 350 AD that the Romans would mistake the Gentile Children of Truth for Jews because they commonly wore the tallit gadol that was distinctive of Jews even though they were not circumcised.  Like the Jews during the times of the Maccabees the Children of Truth would also wear the original small tallits during periods of persecution instead of the tallit gadols.  Many of the Children of Truth had this practice of wearing tallits passed down to them from those who knew Paul the Jew.

When the Man of Truth returns to this Earth and sends out the Law of Truth from Jerusalem the Jews will be wearing tallit gadols so that the Gentiles can grab the corners of their tallit gadols to be shown how to live according to the Law of Truth (Zechariah 8:20-23).   So even in the future the Children of Truth will be wearing tallits.

It is plain that there is great precedent for the Children of Truth to wear tallit gadols when they gather together, during special ceremonies and at other times.  It is plain that this was a common practice by the Children of Truth during the entire time that the Apostles of Truth were on this Earth and even for centuries afterwards.  It is plain that the Children of Truth will wear tallits in the future when the Man of Truth is ruling the Earth.  In these days leading up the the end times the Children of Truth have learned that the cloaks, aprons and handkerchiefs mentioned in the Book of Truth actually are various types of tallits.  So many of the Children of Truth have rediscovered the true purpose of wearing tzitzits and tallits.  It is for this reason that they have returned to wearing tallit gadols, tallit katans and belt loop tzitzits in ever increasing numbers.  This is not a modern fad among the Children of Truth like wearing WWJD bracelets.  Wearing Jewish prayer shawls is the revival of an ancient practice in response to the commandment of the Father of Truth that the Spirit of Truth has been reviving among the Children of Truth.

So it should not seem strange that the Children of Truth are wearing tallits when it's a Jewish thing to be following the Man of Truth.  After all the Man of Truth is first and foremost the Messiah of Israel.

Still it is important to remember that the purpose of wearing tzitzits is to remind the Children of Truth to obey the commandments of the Father of Truth (Numbers 15:39).  While some of the Gentile Children of Truth may benefit from wearing tzitzits just like some have benefited from wearing WWJD bracelets and purity rings they are under no obligation to do so in order to come into the House of Truth (Acts 15:28-29).

It should be remembered that tzitzits were given to Jewish people to help them to be the instruments of the Father of Truth to bring salvation to the whole world.  It is important to remember to not mistake the lessor matters of the Law for the weightier matters of the Law.  The Jewish Children of Truth should remember that it has always been about the Gentiles when they put on their tallits.

Those who come into the House of Truth are given a new heart and have the Spirit of Truth living in them so that they can keep His commandments (Ezekiel 36:26-27).  Those who come into the House of Truth keep His righteous commandments by walking in step with the Spirit of Truth (Romans 8:3-5).  Those who come into the House of Truth are given the Spirit of Truth so they can please the Father of Truth by keeping His commandments (Romans 8:8-9).  Those who come into the House of Truth have His commandments written on their hearts on the inside by His Spirit instead His commandments being written on stone tablets on the outside by His finger (2 Corinthians 3:2-4).  Those who come into the House of Truth do not need tzitzits to remember to keep His commandments (Galatians 5:16-18).  Those who come into the House of Truth have come into a better covenant through the Man of Truth than the covenant that came through Moses (Hebrews 8:4-6).  Those who come into the House of Truth have entered into the Renewed Covenant where the Father of Truth writes His commandments upon their minds so that they will not forget to keep His commandments (Hebrews 8:7-10).  Being able to say that His commandments have been written on my heart by the Spirit of Truth is so much better than tying a tassel on the corners of your clothes to remind you to keep His commandments!

You can come into the House of Truth and receive the Spirit of Truth that the Father of Truth gives to all of His children (Romans 8:14-16).  You come into the House of Truth when you surrender everything to the Man of Truth because you believe that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).  Both Jews and Gentiles can come into the House of Truth (Romans 10:11-13). Everyone who comes into the House of Truth will be made part of His forever family by the Spirit of Truth writing His commandments on their heart (Galatians 4:4-7)!

Come into the House of Truth.

The Messiah of Israel

Do Jews need the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) to be saved?

I visited a Messianic congregation a while back where I encountered one of strangest things that I have encountered in any congregation in a long time.  This takes some doing because it is not like I have not been around.

After I gave control my life to the Man of Truth in total surrender I frequently moved for about seven years.  During the course of my thirty years and counting journey I have visited hundreds of congregations of the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him).  I have been a member of about a dozen congregations.  Some for just a few months and two for eleven years.

Beyond that I have listened to countless sermons on the radio.  My son and I used to watch preachers on the television the way other people watched sports.  I have read many books as well in my efforts to become more like the Man of Truth.  I have spent innumerable hours on the internet researching things related to the Book of Truth (The Bible) and discussing spiritual matters with people from all kinds of backgrounds.  My desire to grow in the truth has been relentless.

This journey has had many interesting twists and turns.  You never know what you are going to encounter when you drop into an unknown congregation while you are traveling because you want to honor the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) with one day a week.  Someone might start passing rattlesnakes around or otherwise give you clues that you need to leave the service early.

Sticking around for a while in one place can also be eye opening.  I have known pastors who would lay down their lives for their flock and others who were plainly fleecing their flock.   I have seen religious professionals who pursued the truth that comes from the Father of Truth like their lives depended upon it and other religious professionals who defended their traditions against the facts laid out in the Book of Truth to the point of absurdity.   I have experienced the truly miraculous and witnessed the truly ridiculous.

The virtual experience has also been enlightening.  Some people who preach on television are sincere, some are racketeers and some just do strange things to get attention.  I have heard some wonderful sermons on the radio and others that made me question if the speaker really could be that lacking in education.  Some books have greatly increased my understanding while others only served to display the ignorance of their author.  While the internet has been a wonderful resource it also did not take long to encounter all kinds of goofiness online.

When it comes to the world of people who say they are followers of the Man of Truth I have seen the good, the bad and the just plain weird.

Still in this congregation during discussion time (midrash) this woman managed to tell me one of the strangest things I had ever heard.  She started telling me how Jewish people did not need to hear the Good News to be saved.  She insisted that everyone who was a Jew according to the flesh was automatically going to Heaven when they die.  When I asked others in the small group at our table about this I learned that it was pretty much the common consensus of this congregation.  I wondered where did they get such an idea.

So I investigated and learned that this doctrine was not confined to this sole Messianic congregation.  In fact, it is taught by a number of so-called mainstream denominations along with many evangelical ministers.  This doctrine is so common among religious professionals that it even has a name - dual covenant theology.

I went on to learn that dual covenant theology basically comes in one of two flavors.  There are those who teach that Jews are automatically saved under the covenant that the Father of Truth made with Abraham (Abram).  Then there are others who teach that Jews are automatically saved by keeping the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) that the Father of Truth gave to Moses (Moshe).  The bottom line in both cases is that there is no need to tell Jewish people about the Man of Truth because they do not need him to be saved.

I have learned in my journey that just because something seems strange to me does not mean that it is not true.  I have also learned that just because other things are familiar to me does not mean that they are true.  If you really want to know the truth about something you have to learn to listen to the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) while you examine the Book of Truth to see what it says about the subject.  After all the Book of Truth will tell you the truth about everything that matters if you will let the Spirit of Truth lead you to the truth while you are studying it.  The truth is in there.

So is this true?  Can Jews be saved without the Man of Truth? Or do Jews need to surrender to the Man of Truth to be saved?

The best place to start is with the idea that physical Jews do not need to be saved because they are the physical descendents of Abraham.  What does the Book of Truth say about that?

This idea is based on the promises that the Father of Truth made with Abraham concerning the Jewish people so examining those promises is the best place to begin.  The first promise that the Father of Truth made was that a great nation would come from Abraham if Abraham would leave his extended family and move to the land of Canaan (Genesis 12:1-3).  After he obeyed then the Father of Truth promised to give the land of Canaan to the descendants of Abraham (Genesis 12:6-8).  Then the Father of Truth promised to make his descendants so great in number so that they would fill the Promised Land (Genesis 13:14-17).  Then the Father of Truth promised that these descendants would be his physical descendants (Genesis 15:3-5).  The Father of Truth then promised Abraham that his physical descendants would not begin to possess the Promise land until the Amorites were beyond repentance (Genesis 15:13-16).  The Father of Truth then promised that his physical descendants would then return to the Promise Land and eventually possess the Promised Land that stretched from the east bank of the Nile river to the west bank of the Euphrates river (Genesis 15:18-21).  Then the Father of Truth promised that these descendants would possess the Promised Land forever (Genesis 17:7-9).  The Father of Truth then said that every man who would have a right to an inheritance in the Promised Land under this covenant had to be marked by circumcision (Genesis 17:10-14).  The Father of Truth then said that these descendants would come from Isaac (Yitzakh), the son of Sarah (Sarai) (Genesis 21:12).  The Father of Truth then confirmed that the descendants of Isaac would possess the dwelling places of their enemies (Genesis 22:16-18).  Then the Father of Truth confirmed these promises to Isaac, the son of Abraham and Sarah (Genesis 26:3-5).  Then the Father of Truth promised to make the descendants of Isaac great in number (Genesis 26:24).  Then the Father of Truth told Rebekah (Rivkah), the wife of Isaac, that He would bring the promises that He made to Abraham and Isaac to pass through the younger son named Jacob (Ya'acob aka Israel) (Genesis 25:23-26).  Then the Father of Truth confirmed to Jacob that his descendants were the ones who would possess and fill the Promised Land (Genesis 28:13-15).  Then the Father of Truth promised Jacob that his descendants would form a nation with kings named Israel that would possess the Promised Land (Genesis 35:10-12).

So the covenants that the Father of Truth made with Abraham concerning his physical descendants were all about possessing the Promised Land.  This was further defined in more covenants through Isaac and Jacob to be a nation made up of the Jews named Israel.  There is absolutely nothing in these covenants about each and every Jew being promised to be saved from Hell because they are the physical descendants of Abraham.

In fact the Father of Truth could have wiped out all of the Jewish people but Moses and started over with him to fulfill the promises that He made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Exodus 32:9-10).  The only reason that He did not do so was because He was concerned about what the Gentiles would think (Numbers 14:12-20).  The only reason the Father of Truth made these promises concerning the Jewish people was to save the Gentiles because it has always been about the Gentiles.

While the descendants of Abraham will inherit the Promised Land not even that is promised to any particular Jew regardless of what they do.  It is only those Jews who obey the Father of Truth who will inherit the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 29:10-13).  It is only those Jews who love Him who will inherit the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 30:19-20).  In fact, the Jews were removed from the Promised Land the first time because they would not do what He said was right (Ezekiel 33:23-29).

In the exact same way being a descendant of Abraham does not guarantee anyone eternal life with the Father of Truth.  In fact, Yochanon the Mikveh Man (John the Baptist) said the religious leaders of the Jewish people would perish if they did not turn from their wicked ways because the Father of Truth could raise up children to Abraham from other sources (Matthew 3:7-9).  The Man of Truth said the repentant among the Gentiles would sit down with Abraham while the unrepentant among the Jews would be cast into Hell (Matthew 8:10-12).  He said that any Jews who do not do what His Fathers says is right will not be joining Abraham in Heaven (Luke 13:27-28).  The rich man who went to Hell was just as much a Jew as Lazarus who went to Paradise with Abraham (Luke 16:23-25).  Just because someone is a physical descendant of Abraham does not mean that they are a child of Abraham (John 8:37-39).  The children of Abraham are those have confidence in the Father of Truth that leads to action like Abraham (Galatians 3:6-9).  Even Abraham had demonstrate confidence in the Father of Truth with his actions to be called righteous (James 2:21-23).

So the physical descendants of Abraham were only promised the right to live in the Promised Land in the covenants that the Father of Truth made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  Those covenants had nothing to do with salvation.  Even the promises in those covenants were only for their physical descendants who did what the Father of Truth said was right.  The physical descendants who did not do what He said was right would neither inherit the Promised Land nor enter Heaven when they died.  Instead they would go to Hell when they died like all the other wicked people.  So it is evident that Jews are not saved from Hell because they are physical descendants of Abraham.

Now we will examine what the Book of Truth says about Jews being saved by keeping the Law of Truth that was given to Moses.

It starts with understanding the purposes of the Law of Truth.  Abraham was chosen to receive these promises concerning the Promised Land because he would command his descendants to follow the Father of Truth as he did so the Father of Truth could bring to pass what He promised concerning the descendants of Abraham (Genesis 18:17-19).  These promises were secured for the descendants of Abraham when Abraham kept the commandments of the Father of Truth long before these commandments were written down and given to Moses at Mount Sinai (Genesis 26:3-5).

If the Jews did not keep the commandments of the Law of Truth then they would also be put out of the Promised Land like the wicked Canaanites (Leviticus 18:26-28).  The Jews who descended from Abraham had to obey the commandments of the Law of Truth to possess the Promised Land just like Abraham kept the commandments of the Father of Truth (Deuteronomy 5:31-33).  Whether or not the Jews possess of the Promised Land is entirely dependent upon their obedience to the Law of Truth (Deuteronomy 30:17-20).

Salvation that comes from the Law of Truth is dependent upon keeping every commandment of the Law of Truth (Leviticus 18:4-5).  The righteousness of the Jews under the covenant given to Moses was based upon keeping the commandments of the Law of Truth (Deuteronomy 6:25).  So every Jew who does not obey the commandments of the Law of Truth to follow the Father of Truth will be destroyed from among the Jewish people (Deuteronomy 29:18-21).  A Jew must do everything required in the Law of Truth in order to be justified by the Law of Truth (Romans 2:12-13).  So Jews can only be made righteous under that covenant if they never break any of the commandments of the Law of Truth (Romans 10:5).

The truth is that there are not any Jews who have not broken at least some of the commandments of the Law of Truth (1 Kings 8:46).  So no Jew can ever be justified by the Law of Truth (Romans 3:19-20).   Every Jew has sinned and came up short of reflecting the character of the Father of Truth (Romans 3:23).  Every Jew, just like every Gentile, was born with sin living in their flesh and the Law of Truth only made apparent the sin that was already at work in their flesh (Romans 5:12-14). No Jew is saved by the Law of Truth because they all have sinned by breaking the Law of Truth (1 John 3:4).

So the Law of Truth was given so the Jews could live in the Promised Land by keeping it.  In the covenant given to Moses the only way to be saved was to keep every commandment of the Law of Truth without fail.  However, no Jew has ever been able to do so because sin lives in their flesh.  So it is apparent that Jews are not saved from Hell by the covenant that was given to Moses.

So then if Jews are not saved from Hell because they are physical descendants of Abraham and they are not saved from Hell by the covenant that was given to Moses then how can they be saved?

Moses said that Father of Truth would raise up from among the Jewish people a Prophet of Truth that they must listen to in order to be saved (Deuteronomy 18:15-16).  He said that anyone who did not do what that Prophet of Truth said would be destroyed (Deuteronomy 18:17-19).  The Man of Truth is that Prophet of Truth (Acts 3:20-23).  He is the mediator of a better covenant than the one that came through Moses whereby Jews can be saved (Hebrews 8:6).

This covenant is the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) that He promised through Jeremiah (Yerimayahu) the Prophet of Truth (Jeremiah 31:31-32).  Make no mistake the Law of Truth is holy and its commandments are just and good (Romans 7:12).  The problem is that since sin dwells in our flesh no one can keep the Law of Truth in their own strength (Romans 8:3).  So the Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament) was insufficient to save anyone and had to be replaced (Hebrews 8:7).  Since the Father of Truth found fault in the Jews for being unable to keep the Original Covenant He made the Renewed Covenant with them so that they could be saved (Hebrews 8:8-9).

Under this Renewed Covenant their heart would be circumcised so that they could both inherit the Promised Land and be saved (Deuteronomy 30:5-6).  This Renewed Covenant would consist of the Father of Truth writing the Law of Truth on their hearts so that they can keep the Law of Truth and have their sins forgiven (Jeremiah 31:33-34).  The Law of Truth will be written on their hearts by the Spirit of Truth living within them so that they can keep the Law of Truth to inherit the Promised Land and be saved (Ezekiel 36:26-28).  They will be able to keep the Law of Truth by living their lives according to the leading of the Spirit of Truth (Romans 8:4-5).  It will be evident to everyone around them that the Law of Truth has been written on their heart by the Spirit of Truth (2 Corinthians 3:2-3).  This Renewed Covenant of having the Law of Truth written on the hearts of the Jews by the Spirit of Truth so that they can keep the Law of Truth is so much better than the Original Covenant that the Original Covenant pales in comparison (Hebrews 8:10-13).

The Man of Truth was born into this world to save Jews from their sins (Matthew 1:20-21).   He only sent His disciples to save Jews who were lost during his time on Earth (Matthew 10:5-7).  He was only sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel when he was on this Earth (Matthew 15:24).  He was born into this world to fulfill the promises made to Abraham so that the Jewish people would be able to keep the Law of Truth and live in the Promised Land (Luke 1:70-75).  He had to leave this Earth so the Spirit of Truth could come to live inside of the Jews who listened to him (John 16:7).  He had to leave so the Spirit of Truth could guide Jews in how to keep the Law of Truth in the way His Father intended (John 16:13-15).  The Law of Truth can only be kept with the help of the Spirit of Truth (Romans 7:14).  It is only through total surrender to the Man of Truth that the Father of Truth circumcises the heart of the Jews so they can keep the Law of Truth so that His Father can keep the promises that He made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Romans 15:8).  The Man of Truth made the only offering when he died on the cross that could take away the sins of Israel so their enemies could be brought under subjection to him (Hebrews 10:10-13).  His offering of his body on the cross made the Renewed Covenant available to the lost sheep of the house of Israel so that every promise concerning the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob could be fulfilled (Hebrews 10:14-17).  The Man of Truth is first and foremost the Messiah of Israel!

Abraham told the rich man that Jews can only escape Hell by believing what Moses and the Prophets of Israel wrote (Luke 16:27-29).  If Jews do not believe what Moses and the Prophets of Israel wrote then they will not be persuaded by the resurrection of the Messiah of Israel (Luke 16:30-31).  The resurrection had to follow the death on the cross to fulfill what Moses and the Prophets of Israel wrote about the Messiah of Israel (Luke 24:25-27).  The death on the cross and the resurrection of the Man of Truth was only proof that he is the Messiah of Israel spoken of saving people from sin throughout the entire Original Covenant (Luke 24:44-47).  The Man of Truth is first and foremost the Messiah of Israel!

Philip the Jew (the Apostle Philip) understood that the Messiah of Israel was who Moses and the Prophets of Israel wrote about when he told Nathaniel the Jew (the Apostle Nathaniel) about the Man of Truth (John 1:44-46).  Nathaniel the Jew recognized that the Man of Truth was the Messiah of Israel who Moses and the Prophets of Israel wrote about (John 1:47-49).  Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka the Apostle Paul) also testified to the Jews of Jerusalem that the Man of Truth was the Messiah of Israel who Moses and the Prophets of Israel wrote about (Acts 26:21-23).   Paul the Jew called the chief Jews of Rome to tell them about the Messiah of Israel who gave hope that the promises to Israel would be fulfilled (Acts 28:17-20).  Paul the Jew told them the Man of Truth was the Messiah of Israel who Moses and the Prophets of Israel wrote about (Acts 28:21-23).  The Man of Truth is first and foremost the Messiah of Israel!

So Jews can only be saved in the same way as Gentiles which is by surrendering control of their lives to the Man of Truth.  The primary difference is that Jews who do so recognize that the Man of Truth is the Messiah of Israel who will bring about the fulfillment of all that the Father of Truth promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob while Gentiles only know him as their savior.

It is for this reason that the Man of Truth told his Jewish disciples that he was the only way for them to come into eternal life, go to Heaven when they die and to know the Father of Truth (John 14:2-7).  That is why Peter the Jew (Cephas aka the Apostle Peter) told the Jews of Israel who were at Jerusalem that there was no other name other than that of the Man of Truth whereby Jews must be saved (Acts 4:8-12).  It was for this reason that Paul the Jew always preached the Good News of the Man of Truth first to the Jews and then to the Gentiles (Romans 1:16).  In like manner Paul the Jew taught that both Jews and Gentiles will either suffer in Hell or rejoice Heaven depending upon their deeds because the Father of Truth does not have any favorites (Romans 2:5-11).  Jews are no better off than Gentiles because they too have sinned (Romans 3:9-12).

Jews and Gentiles can only be saved from Hell by coming into the House of Truth (Romans 9:22-24).  Jews as well as Gentiles come into the House of Truth by surrendering control of their lives to the Man of Truth because they believe that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).  Jews and Gentiles both come into the House of Truth by calling upon the name of the Man of Truth (Romans 10:11-13).  Jews and Gentiles must both have the Good News about the Man of Truth preached to them before they can come into the House of Truth (Romans 10:14-17).  When Jews come into the House of Truth they find the Messiah of Israel just like when Gentiles come into the House of Truth they find the savior of the Gentiles (Romans 15:8-12).

Come into the House of Truth.

It Has Always Been About The Gentiles

Did the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) start over with the Gentiles?

I have heard it said by various people at sundry times that the Father of Truth started over with the Gentiles.  This statement has several implications about the Father of Truth, His dealings with the Jews and His dealings with the Gentiles.

First of all it, it implies, that the Father of Truth somehow failed with the Jews, and had to resort to using Gentiles instead.  Second, it implies, that the Father of Truth really had no interest in the Gentiles, until He failed with the Jews.  Third, it implies, that once the Father of Truth owned up to His failure with the Jews, and moved on to dealing with the Gentiles, that He now no longer has any interest in the Jews.

The root of the idea, that the Father of Truth started over with the Gentiles, is that the Gentiles were never part of His plan originally, because He viewed the Gentiles as being less valuable than the Jews.  It is as if, the Gentiles were kind of like unwanted orphans, that He reluctantly took in, because it was better than being alone, after the Jews left home, but all the while He secretly wished, that He could have the Jews instead.

This entire line of thought is insulting to the Father of Truth, the Jews and the Gentiles.  It is insulting to the Father of Truth, because it makes Him to be a failure.  It is insulting to the Jews, because it makes all Jews to be implacable rebels against the Father of Truth.  It is insulting to the Gentiles, because it makes all Gentiles to be second rate compared to the Jews.

Did the Father of Truth really fail with the Jews?  Did He really start over with the Gentiles?  Were the Gentiles really some sort of consolation prize when His plan for the Jews did not work out?

Or were the Gentiles always part of the plan and the Jews were merely the instruments that the Father of Truth used to carry out that plan?

Until the Father of Truth gave Abraham (Abram) the sign of circumcision that defines a Jew there were only Gentiles living on the Earth.  He did not begin His plan with Jews, who are defined by circumcision as a sign of the covenant that He made with Abraham, but with Gentiles. 

The Father of Truth gave the first glimpse of His plan to save the human race to Adam, who was a Gentile, as soon as the human race needed saving (Genesis 3:13-15).

His son Abel, another Gentile, was the first man to offer a lamb as a sacrifice that pictured part of His plan to save the human race (Genesis 4:4).  This Gentile was the first person to give their life in obedience to His plan (Genesis 4:8-10).  This Gentile was the first person who was made righteous by their obedience to His plan (Matthew 23:35).  This Gentile was the first person to called a prophet (Luke 11:49-51).  This Gentile was the first person to show confidence with their actions in His plan so that he pleased the Father of Truth with his death (Hebrews 11:4).

The first Child of Truth (someone who obeys The Father of Truth because they love Him) to be taken off the Earth, which revealed of another part of His plan, was Enoch, who was also a Gentile (Genesis 5:22-24).  This Gentile was the first person to show confidence with their actions in His plan so that he pleased the Father of Truth with his life (Hebrews 11:5).  This Gentile was the first person to prophesy about another part of His plan (Jude 1:14).

His descendant, Noah, another Gentile, became the first person that found grace in the eyes of the Father of Truth because of walking in truth, which revealed another part of His plan (Genesis 6:8-10).  This Gentile was the first person who the Father of Truth revealed to that His plan included destroying the wicked from off the face of the Earth (Genesis 6:13).   This Gentile was the first person to be given a covenant of salvation from the Father of Truth which was the basis of His plan to save the human race (Genesis 6:17-18).  Noah and his Gentile family were the first people to be saved from the wrath of the Father of Truth which revealed another part of His plan (Genesis 7:23).  Noah and his Gentile sons were the first people to repopulate the Earth after the wicked were destroyed off the face of the Earth which revealed yet another part of His plan (Genesis 9:1).  This Gentile was the first person to be given a covenant that included all of his descendants (Genesis 9:8-11).  This Gentile was the first person to be given a sign of the covenant between them and the Father of Truth (Genesis 9:12-17).  All of the Gentiles are descendants of Noah making them party to the covenant of salvation in the exact same way that Jews are party to the covenants of Abraham because they are his descendants (Genesis 10).  This Gentile Noah was the first person to inherit the Earth because of his confidence in the Father of Truth leading him to submitting to His plan (Hebrews 11:7).

All of these Gentiles were the first to receive revelation of the plan of the Father of Truth to save the human race. These Gentiles were the first to participate in His plan. These Gentiles were saved by confidence in His plan that lead to action.  It is not coincidence that Gentiles were so involved in the plan before Jews even existed.  It has always been about the Gentiles.

Then the Father of Truth called another Gentile, Abraham, to be part of His plan to save all of the families of the Earth (Genesis 12:1-3).  Abraham was still a Gentile when the Father of Truth promised to give him the land of the Canaanites as part of His plan (Genesis 15:18-22).  Abraham continued to be a Gentile until he was ninety nine years old (Genesis 17:1-2).  Abraham was still a Gentile when he was given circumcision as the sign of a covenant between his descendants and the Father of Truth (Genesis 17:3-14).  There were no Jews, that is a man who has been circumcised in accordance with the covenant that He made with Abraham, to be part of the plan of the Father of Truth until Abraham became the first Jew (Genesis 17:23-27).  It was the confidence that Abraham had in the Father of Truth while he was still a Gentile that caused him to become the first Jew as part of the plan of the Father of Truth to save the human race (Romans 4:10-12).

So it was only Gentiles that the Father of Truth promised to save for the first two thousand years of human history until Abraham the Gentile became the first Jew through circumcision as part of the plan of the Father of Truth to save the human race.  It has always been about the Gentiles.

Then the Father of Truth promised to create a Jewish nation from Jacob (Ya'acob aka Israel) to live in the land that He had promised to his grandfather Abraham as part of His plan to save all of the Gentile families on the Earth (Genesis 28:13-15).  Then his son Joseph (Yosef) was used in the next part of His plan to save many Gentiles as well as the Jewish people (Genesis 50:19-21).

So the Jewish people went into Egypt as part of His plan to save many Gentiles.  It has always been about the Gentiles.

Many years later the Father of Truth delivered the Jewish people from Egypt so that the Egyptians would know that He was the one true God (Exodus 7:5).  He delivered the Jewish people from Egypt so the Gentiles all over the Earth would hear of His fame (Exodus 9:14-16).  The Father of Truth lured the armies of Egypt to the Red Sea so the Egyptians would know that He was a higher authority than Pharaoh (Exodus 14:2-4).   Pharaoh and the armies of Egypt were destroyed in the Red Sea so that the Egyptians would know that the Father of Truth was more powerful than the most powerful army on Earth (Exodus 14:16-18).  The Father of Truth delivered the Jewish people from Egypt with a mighty hand so the Gentiles could see that He was the living God (Leviticus 26:45).

The nation of Israel was delivered from Egypt so that the Gentiles would know that the Father of Truth was the one true God in all the Earth.  It has always been about the Gentiles.

When the Jewish people were delivered from Egypt at Passover (Pesach) there was a mixed multitude of Gentiles that were saved as well (Exodus 12:37-41).  It was only afterwards that the Father of Truth required people to become Jews through circumcision before they could observe the commemoration of the Passover but there was still provision for the Gentiles to live among the Jews under the same law as the Jews (Exodus 12:42-49).

So from the very beginnings of the nation of Israel the Gentiles were saved along with the Jews as part of His plan to save the human race.   

Then the Father of Truth gave the The Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) to Moses so he could teach people how to walk in His ways (Exodus 24:12).  The Law of Truth that was given in the wilderness was to be applied equally to the Gentiles who lived among the Jewish people as it was to the Jewish people (Leviticus 24:22).  He gave the Law of Truth to the Jewish people so the Gentiles in all the Earth could see how righteous His Laws were (Deuteronomy 4:5-8).  His covenant was not just for the Jewish people that stood before Him that day but also for the Gentiles that were not present that day (Deuteronomy 29:13-15).

So the Law of Truth was given to the Jewish people to make known the righteous ways of the Father of Truth to the Gentiles.  It has always been about the Gentiles.

Afterwards the Father of Truth would have destroyed the Jewish people for their rebellion against Him and started over with Moses if He had not been concerned with what the Egyptians would think (Exodus 32:9-14).  He only refrained from doing so because He did not want the Gentiles to think that He was unable to bring the Jewish people into the Promised Land (Numbers 14:11-16).  He refrained from destroying the Jewish people and starting over with someone else so all of the Earth could be filled with His glory (Numbers 14:17-21).   The Father of Truth did not give the land of Canaan to the Jewish people because they were so righteous but it was because the Canaanites were so wicked that He promised to give the land of the Canaanites to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac (Yitzakh) and Jacob (Deuteronomy 9:4-6).  He only brought the Jewish people into the Promised Land because of His concern about what the Gentiles would think of Him if it appeared that He was not able fulfill His promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Deuteronomy 9:26-29).

So the Jewish people were only preserved in the wilderness and made into a nation that possessed the Promised Land because the Father of Truth was concerned about what the Gentiles would think if He started over with someone else.  It has always been about the Gentiles.

After the Jewish people took possession of the Promised Land then the Temple was built by Solomon and one of the reasons was so that the Gentiles could seek out the Father of Truth (1 Kings 8:41-43).  David made preparation for Solomon to build the most expensive and magnificent building in history so the Gentiles would hear of the Father of Truth (1 Chronicles 22:5).  The Father of Truth would answer the prayers of Gentiles in far countries when they faced the Temple so that all the people of the Earth could know His name so that they might seek after Him (2 Chronicles 6:32-33).

So the Temple was built to make the name of the Father of Truth known to the Gentiles so that they would seek after Him.  It has always been about the Gentiles.

The Queen of Sheba heard the fame of the Father of Truth, came to Solomon herself to be sure that it was true and then she worshiped Him (1 Kings 10:1-9).  It was the wisdom that the Father of Truth gave to Solomon and the magnificence of the Temple that caused her to worship the Father of Truth (2 Chronicles 9:1-8).  The Queen of Sheba came from the land that was furthest south of Jerusalem [probably modern South Africa] to confirm what she had heard about the wisdom that the Father of Truth had given to Solomon (Matthew 12:42).  The Queen of Sheba was made righteous when she turned to the Father of Truth (Luke 11:31).

So the Queen of Sheba was a Gentile that came from a nation that was as far south of Jerusalem as possible to learn of the Father of Truth because she heard of all that He had done for the Jewish people in giving them Solomon and the Temple.  It has always been about the Gentiles.

Years later after the kingdom of Israel was divided into two smaller kingdoms, the Father of Truth sent Jonah to warn the people of Nineveh of His impending judgment on them for their wickedness (Jonah 1:1-2).  It was for the sake of the people of Nineveh that He gave Jonah a second chance (Jonah 3:1-2).  When Jonah proclaimed the impending judgment on Nineveh the people there repented (Jonah 3:3-9).  Then the Father of Truth forgave the people of Nineveh (Jonah 3:10).  Jonah was so angry that he wanted to die when the people of Nineveh repented because they had heard that the Father of Truth was full of mercy (Jonah 4:1-3).  The Father of Truth rebuked Jonah for being angry that the people of Nineveh repented instead of being destroyed because that was why He sent Jonah to warn them (Jonah 4:9-11).  The people of Nineveh repented because they had heard the warning of Jonah the Prophet of Truth (Matthew 12:41).  The people of Nineveh were made righteous because the Father of Truth had given them a second chance (Luke 11:32).

So the Gentiles of Nineveh were saved because they repented when Jonah warned them of judgment for their wicked behavior.  The Gentiles of Nineveh repented because they had heard that the Father of Truth was full of mercy.  The Father of Truth confirmed this by sending Jonah to warn these Gentiles because he did not want to destroy them for their wickedness.  So Jonah was made a Prophet of Truth and given a second chance so that these Gentiles could be saved.  It has always been about the Gentiles.

When the Jewish people turned from the Father of Truth then He destroyed their kingdoms and scattered them among the Gentiles so that the Jewish people would be a cautionary tale to the Gentiles (Deuteronomy 28:36-37).  He made the Promised Land utterly desolate so that the Gentiles of all nations would understand that the Jewish people could only inherit the Promised Land by keeping His commandments (Deuteronomy 29:21-28).  The Father of Truth scattered the Jewish people among the Gentiles but did not destroy them completely because He wanted the Gentiles to know that it was His doing (Deuteronomy 32:26-27).  The Father of Truth did this so that the Gentiles would know what happens to those who turn from Him to worship idols (1 Kings 9:6-9).  The Father of Truth plucked the Jewish people out of the Promised Land and had the first Temple destroyed so that the Gentiles would understand that blessing was dependent upon obedience (2 Chronicles 7:19-22).  The Father of Truth made an example of the Jewish people so the Gentiles might not do the same things (1 Corinthians 10:11).

The Jewish people were scattered among the Gentiles so that they would serve as a cautionary tale to the Gentiles about turning from the Father of Truth. The kingdoms of the Jewish people and the first temple were destroyed so the Gentiles would understand that departing from the Father of Truth means departing from His blessing.  Even in being scattered for their rebellion the Jewish people served as a tool in His plan to save the human race.  It has always been about the Gentiles.

While the Jewish people were in exile in Babylon the Father of Truth sent the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) to save Shadrach, Meshach and Abendego from the fiery furnace so that the Gentiles throughout the Babylonian Empire would hold His name in reverence (Daniel 3:24-29).  Then Daniel was saved from the lions den so that the Gentiles throughout the Persian Empire would know that the Father of Truth was the only living God (Daniel 6:25-27).  When the Jews were saved from the plot of Haman then many Gentiles throughout the Persian Empire turned to the Father of Truth and even became Jews through circumcision (Esther 8:11-17).

So all during the exile of the Jewish people from the Promised Land for their rebellion the Father of Truth continued to use the Jewish people to bring the Gentiles back to Himself.  It has always been about the Gentiles.

The Father of Truth then brought back a remnant of the Jewish people to the Promised Land to build the second Temple so that the kings of Persia could see His mercy (Ezra 9:7-9).  Even the Gentiles that opposed Nehemiah had to acknowledge that the Father of Truth had caused the walls of Jerusalem to be repaired in just fifty two days (Nehemiah 6:15-16).  All of this was done so that the time when the Man of Truth would come to Jerusalem and die for the sins of all people would be known for certain (Daniel 9:24-26).

So the return of the Jewish people to the Promised Land to rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple was to make the way for the Man of Truth to die for the sins of all people.  It has always been about the Gentiles.

The Man of Truth was given the Gentiles for his inheritance (Psalm 2:7-8).  The Man of Truth came to be the Jew that the Gentiles would seek out (Isaiah 11:10).  The Man of Truth brought judgment to the Gentiles (Isaiah 42:1).  The Man of Truth gave light to the Gentiles so that they no longer walked in darkness (Isaiah 42:6).  The Man of Truth was given the Gentiles also because his suffering on the cross was too great to save only the Jewish people (Isaiah 49:1-7).  The Man of Truth is the Jew that the Gentiles have put their trust in (Matthew 12:17-19).  The Man of Truth is salvation for all people because he is a light to the Gentiles and the glory of the Jewish people (Luke 2:29-32).  Even the Jewish leaders who opposed the Man of Truth understood that the Messiah was supposed to teach the Gentiles (John 7:35).  It was the Gentiles seeking after the Man of Truth that signaled that it was time for him to die to save the human race (John 12:20-23).

So the Man of Truth died to save the entire human race because saving only the Jews was never part of the plan of the Father of Truth.  It has always been about the Gentiles.

In fact the plan relied on most of the leaders of the Jewish people rejecting the Man of Truth when no other people would have (Matthew 12:38-42).  It was an evil generation among the Jewish people who orchestrated his crucifixion (Luke 11:29-32).   Most of the Jewish people rejecting the Man of Truth made salvation possible for the Gentiles (Romans 11:7-11).  The Father of Truth was able to have mercy on the Gentiles who would put their trust in the Man of Truth because most of the Jewish people would not put their trust in the Man of Truth (Romans 11:30-32).

So some of the Gentiles were to come into the House of Truth because some of the Jewish people rejected the Man of Truth.  This was part of the plan to save the human race.  It has always been about the Gentiles.

It had always been the plan of the Father of Truth for Gentiles to come into the House of Truth to replace those of the Jewish nation who would not come into the House of Truth (Amos 9:10-12).  The Gentiles would worship the Father of Truth in every land because most of the Jewish nations did not worship Him in the Promised Land (Malachi 1:10-12).  Still it took the Gentiles being baptized in the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) and the Spirit of Truth performing miracles among the Gentiles for the Jewish Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) to understand that the Gentiles could come into the House of Truth without first becoming Jews through circumcision (Acts 15:7-12).  The Gentiles coming into the House of Truth was only the fulfillment of what had been spoken by the Prophets of Truth (Acts 15:13-17).  It had always been the plan of the Father of Truth to bring the Gentiles into the House of Truth (Acts 15:18).  This plan to save the Gentiles was the wisdom of the Father of Truth that those in unbelief could not see (Romans 11:33-35).  This plan to save the Gentiles is the mystery that had been kept hidden in the words of the Prophets of Truth (Romans 16:25-27).  If the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil), the Spirits of Lies (devils aka demons aka unclean spirits aka gods) and the leaders of the Jewish people had understood this mystery then they would have never crucified the Man of Truth and nobody would be able to come into the House of Truth (1 Corinthians 2:6-8).  The Man of Truth living in the Gentiles was a mystery that had been hidden through the ages (Colossians 1:24-27).  This is the mystery that had been hidden by the Father of Truth (Colossians 2:1-3).

So in no matter whatsoever did the Father of Truth start over with the Gentiles. The Gentiles coming into the House of Truth was not some sort of plan B because the Father of Truth failed to bring the Jewish people into the House of Truth as plan A.  The Father of Truth has only ever had one plan to save the human race and He has never failed.  Those who do not know Him have been unable to understand the secret plan to bring about His will in saving the entire human race.  It has always been about the Gentiles.

In the current phase of the plan the Father of Truth is using the Gentile Children of Truth to provoke the Jewish people into returning to Him (Deuteronomy 32:18-21).  The Gentiles who have come into the House of Truth are the nation that was not called by His name (Isaiah 65:1).  The Gentiles who have come into the House of Truth are the tool of the Father of Truth to bring all of the Jewish people into the House of Truth (Romans 10:19-20).  When the Gentiles have been used to provoked the Jewish people to jealous enough that all of the Jewish people come into the House of Truth it will bring about the salvation of the entire human race (Romans 11:11-15).

So now the Gentiles are the tools in the hand of the Father of Truth to bring salvation to the Jewish people.  For most of the last two thousand years it has been mainly the Gentiles that He has been using in His plan to save the human race.  This is not an accident or because the Father of Truth had to start over with the Gentiles.  It has always been about the Gentiles.

It had always been the plan for the Gentiles to rejoice together with the Jews in the House of Truth (Deuteronomy 32:43).  The Gentiles who come into the House of Truth were always meant to rejoice with the Jews in the House of Truth when the Man of Truth rules the Earth (1 Chronicles 16:31).  The Gentiles in the House of Truth will also clap their hands when the Man of Truth rules the Earth (Psalm 47:1-3).  The Gentiles have been grafted into the olive of tree of those Jewish people who were already in the House of Truth (Romans 11:16-18).  The Gentiles can also be removed from the House of Truth if they fall into disobedience (Romans 11:19-22).  One day the mission of the Gentiles will be completed and all of the Jewish people left on Earth will come into the House of Truth (Romans 11:23-27).  The Father of Truth has in no way ever changed His plans concerning the Jewish people by bringing Gentiles into the House of Truth (Romans 11:28-29).  The Gentiles will rejoice with the Jewish people in the House of Truth because that was always the plan of the Father of Truth (Romans 15:8-12).  The Gentiles in the House of Truth have become part of the Israel that the Father of Truth has always desired (Ephesians 2:11-13). The Gentiles have been made fellow heirs with the Jews in the House of Truth (Ephesians 3:1-7).

The Father of Truth did not start over with the Gentiles but rather has made them part of the Jewish people who first came into the House of Truth.  The Gentiles are not some sort of consolation prize for failing with the Jewish people for in the end all of the Jewish people on Earth will be in the House of Truth.  The Gentiles will rejoice with the Jews in the House of Truth when the Man of Truth rules the Earth.  The Gentiles in the House of Truth are part of a global conspiracy to bring the world under Jewish rule.  The Man of Truth is the Jew that these Gentiles have put their trust in so it should not be surprising that it's a Jewish thing to be in the House of Truth.  They will rule over the Gentile nations on behalf of the Man of Truth when he brings about the end of all trouble.  There simply is no other way to have peace on Earth and save the human race.  It has always been about the Gentiles.

The Man of Truth laid down His life so that both Jews and Gentiles could come into the House of Truth (John 10:15-17).  Both Jews and Gentiles must surrender control of their lives to the Man of Truth because they believe that His Father raised him from the dead to come into the House of Truth (Romans 10:8-13).  Gentiles become fellow citizen with Jews when both come into the House of Truth (Ephesians 2:14-19).  It has always been the plan of the Father of Truth that Jews and Gentiles of all nations should come into the House of Truth so the human race could be saved (Revelation 7:9-10).

Come into the House of Truth.
