Biblical Concept: Jewish Gentile Jealousy
Prologue: Times of the Gentiles
NAS Luke 21:24, and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
NAS Acts
15:11-18 11 "But
we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same
way as they also are." 12 And all the multitude kept silent,
and they were listening to Barnabas and Paul as they were relating what signs
and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles. 13 And
after they had stopped speaking, James answered, saying, "Brethren, listen
to me. 14 "Simeon has related how God first concerned Himself
about taking from among the Gentiles a people for His name. 15
"And with this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written, 16
'After these things I will return, And I will rebuild the tabernacle of David
which has fallen, And I will rebuild its ruins, And I will restore it, 17
In order that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, And all the Gentiles who
are called by My name,' 18 Says the Lord, who makes these things
known from of old.
NAS Romans
11:25b a partial hardening has
happened to Israel until the fulness of the Gentiles has come in;

NAS Acts
13:42-52 42 And as
Paul and Barnabas were going out, the people kept begging that these things
might be spoken to them the next Sabbath. 43 Now when the meeting of the synagogue had broken
up, many of the Jews and of the God-fearing proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas,
who, speaking to them, were urging them to continue in the grace of God. 44
And the next Sabbath nearly the whole city assembled to hear the word of God. 45
But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and began contradicting the things spoken by
Paul, and were blaspheming. 46 And Paul and Barnabas spoke out
boldly and said, "It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken
to you first; since you repudiate it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal
life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles. 47 "For thus the
Lord has commanded us, 'I have placed You as a light for the Gentiles, That You
should bring salvation to the end of the earth.'" 48 And when
the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing
and glorifying the word of the Lord; and as many as had been appointed to
eternal life believed. 49 And the word of the Lord was being spread
through the whole region. 50 But the Jews aroused the devout women
of prominence and the leading men of the city, and instigated a persecution against
Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their district. 51 But they
shook off the dust of their feet in
protest against them and went to Iconium. 52 And the disciples
were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. (Paul’s jealousy
evangelism: “the Jews, becoming jealous.”) (“But when the Jews saw the crowds,
they were filled with jealousy, and began
contradicting the things spoken by Paul, and were blaspheming.”)
NAS Acts
17:1 Now when they had traveled
through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a
synagogue of the Jews. 2 And according to Paul's custom, he went to
them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3
explaining and giving evidence that the Christ had to suffer and rise again
from the dead, and saying, "This
Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you is the Christ." 4 And some
of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, along with a great multitude
of the God-fearing Greeks and a number of the leading women. 5 But
the Jews, becoming jealous and taking along some wicked men from the market
place, formed a mob and set the city in an uproar; and coming upon the house of
Jason, they were seeking to bring them out to the people. (Paul’s jealousy
evangelism: “the Jews, becoming jealous.”) (“But the Jews, becoming jealous and
taking along some wicked men from the market place, formed a mob and set the
city in an uproar;”)
NAS Romans
10:19-21 19But I say,
surely Israel did not know, did they? At the first Moses says, "I will
make you jealous by that which is not a nation, By a nation without
understanding will I anger you." 20 And Isaiah is very bold and
says, "I was found by those who sought Me not, I became manifest to those
who did not ask for Me." 21 But as for Israel He says,
"All the day long I have stretched out My hands to a disobedient and
obstinate people." (Moses re Israel: “I will make you jealous by that
which is not a nation.”)
NAS Romans
11:11-14 11I say then,
they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? May it never be! But by their
transgression salvation has come to
the Gentiles, to make them jealous. 12 Now if their transgression be
riches for the world and their failure be riches for the Gentiles, how much
more will their fulfillment be! 13 But I am speaking to you who are
Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, 14
if somehow I might move to jealousy my fellow countrymen and save some of them.
(Israel: Salvation, Gentiles, jealous.) (Jealous evangelism of Jews.) (“But by
their transgression salvation has come to
the Gentiles, to make them jealous.”) (“if somehow I might move to jealousy my
fellow countrymen and save some of them”)
Post script:
Romans 11:25 For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed
of this mystery, lest you be wise in your own estimation, that a partial
hardening has happened to Israel until the fulness of the Gentiles has come in;
(Paul re Israel: “a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fulness
of the Gentiles has come in”)
Observation: The “times of the Gentiles” is opposed
by religious Judaism. In my day, much of
Judaism opposes Western civilization.
After all, the Semitic Jews have Divine global promises and Western Civilization
stands in the way. It will bring charges of
antisemitism just to note who leads Black rock / Larry Fink, and Oaktree
Capital Management / Howard Marks and The Open Society/ George Soros and Face
Book / Mark Zuckerberg. The trillions in controlled capital and controlled
information are decidedly anti-Western Civilization. In the meantime; Jews are happy to apply these
to Gentile nations: Deuteronomy 23:20 "You may charge interest to a foreigner, but
to your countryman you shall not charge interest, so that the LORD your God may
bless you in all that you undertake in the land which you are about to enter to
possess.” Isaiah 61:6 “But you will
be called the priests of the LORD; You will be spoken of as ministers of our God. You will eat the wealth of nations, And in
their riches you will boast.” As for me, they can have it. I will be in the third Heaven with The Lord
Jesus Christ, my favorite Jew.
Observation re dispersed Israel: NAS Jeremiah 29:18 'And I will pursue them with the sword, with famine and with pestilence; and I will make them a terror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and a horror, and a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them, (Bad for a nation when the cursed attain power.)
Observation: The Lord Jesus Christ of the Triune God of the Bible, my God and my Savior, is not a Gentile like me. My God and Savior chose to advent in the form of a Semite; from the genetic line of Abram: from Ebla, Mesopotamia, Ur of the Chaldees, the fertile crescent of Samaria, in the Middle Eastern area of the Persian Gulf. Abraham, is also the father of the Arab peoples through Keturah the handmaid. Jesus is not Gentile. Not white. Not a problem. My favorite Jew. Currently, God has decided that we live in the times of the Gentiles: from the ascension of Jesus Christ until His return in the clouds. Come Lord Jesus!
