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.
