All are equally obligated to obey the commandments.

That has always been the entire world, since Adam sinned.

You seem to try to make a division that never existed.

The goyim have always been those that do not keep the commandments.

As per Jacob’s deathbed prophecy, the dominant nations of this world are chiefly of Hebrew descent, particularly Ephraim and Manasseh. They have been out of covenant for over 3000 years, and thus are definitely gentile.

Do you reject Jacob’s prophecy?

That's true. All are.

And none can.

That's why Christ's righteousness must be imputed to us and it's done by faith, not by works so that no man can boast. Because by the works of the Law, no flesh is justified.

Do you believe in British Israelism, which is yet another example of a sect or cult that developed from Protestantism. It seems to me if Gentiles want to feel closer to God they should just become addicted to good works of faith. They do not need to imagine themselves physically descended from Jacob.

British Israelism (also called Anglo-Israelism) is a doctrine based on the hypothesis that people of Western European descent, particularly those in Great Britain, are the direct lineal descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. The doctrine often includes the tenet that the British Royal Family is directly descended from the line of King David.

The central tenets of British Israelism have been refuted by evidence from modern genetic, linguistic, archaeological and philological research. The doctrine continues, however, to have a significant number of adherents.

Do you reject Jacob’s prophecy?

No, I accept all biblical prophecy. Do have a reference where an apostle or the LORD Jesus Christ interpreted Jacob's prophecy ?
