Change the text...misquote...make stuff up...leave out half the verse....take out of context...all to shoe horn the man from Narareth into the Holy Tanach of G-d.

SAy you are right.

Now then; are you JEWS doing what YOUR GOD has told you to do in the ways you are supposed to do it?

As a whole? No. Why? The time has not come. But consider this. There is more Torah study in Israel today than at any time in the last 2000years OR MORE. Do you think Hashem doesnt know what He is doing?

Jer 31:33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the LORD. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 34 No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the LORD. “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”

But now, we do not as a whole act in a way that sanctifies the name of G-d. Just as Ezekiel describes.

Ezek 36:19 I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered through the countries; I judged them according to their conduct and their actions. 20 And wherever they went among the nations they profaned my holy name, for it was said of them, ‘These are the LORD’s people, and yet they had to leave his land.’ 21 I had concern for my holy name, which the people of Israel profaned among the nations where they had gone.

But G-d will have enough of that!

22 “Therefore say to the Israelites, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. 23 I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Sovereign LORD, when I am proved holy through you before their eyes.

And inspite of our poor behavior....he will REDEEM us. For His own sake.

24 “‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. 28 Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God. 29 I will save you from all your uncleanness.

So, to answer your question...no. But the day is close! Hashem Himself will redeem us and THEN we will be what we are suppose to be...a light unto the nations.
