What nonsense ...
To understand the prophets you begin with the text of the prophets ... not with the text of Paul.
Like the Jews who denied Christ and had him crucified?
No thanks. I will stick with the doctrine of Paul and Jesus: the Good Guys. I particularly believe that our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, who was also our Creator, knew more about what the Holy Ghost had given to the prophets than either the prophets, themselves, or the Jews.
You have heard Paul. This is Jesus:
"For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." (Mat 13:15)
"For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them." (Mat 13:17 KJV)
What do you think Jesus meant by that last verse?
Many have been schooled in this new-age belief that the Jews and Israel ("my people," to put it in the words of the famous "theologian," Eric Holder,) did, in the "last minute" reject Christ. But their rejection of Christ was prophesied about 1500 years earlier by Moses. That is hardly an "last minute" afterthought: but I repeat myself.
