1. A Gentile could become a proselyte: Esther 8:17; Exodus 12:48; Isaiah 56.
OR
2. A Gentile could put himself in the place of blessing by BLESSING ISRAEL: Genesis 12:3; 1 Kings 17:10-15; Joshua 2:9-11; 2 Kings 5:15,17.
Those were the TWO doors available to Gentiles who came to recognize their gods were false and that Israel had the one true and living God.
There has always, ever, and only been one way to be saved. I think you need to stop looking at the cross from a linear aspect, and think more like ripples in a pond from a pebble being dropped in...
The point is to save the sons of Adam. Pan out and see the bigger picture. There were millions of gentiles prior to Moses, prior to Abraham, prior to Noah, even. Why this peculiar fondness only for those gentiles living after Moses? By your reckoning, *none* in times before Moses had any chance of salvation at all.
Look, he starts with ONE. From that one, comes a family, and from that family comes a nation. From that nation comes the world. from the world comes heaven and earth together, that which was torn by Adam fully repaired. Can't you see those ripples?
The cross is where the roll-out of information reaches critical mass - no more need for flash-cards and pictures - Now we can use the primer. It was ALWAYS about saving the sons of Adam. There was ALWAYS only one path to salvation. There is only ONE Blood, There is only ONE Torah. There is only ONE WAY.

Which one of those two ways covered Adam, Abel, Seth, Enoch, Methu Selah, Noah, and Lot?
