The God of the scriptures revealed Himself over and over to the jews.. they have refused Him ..the god they "pray to "is not a triune God..remember ..that is why they cried to crucify Christ, when He told them He was God.. , No the god of the jews has no power to save

..which was the whole reason Israel was blinded and set aside in Acts 28. They WILL profess Him one day (the tribulation) and He will restore Israel to its former glory and rule and reign from Jerusalem. But until that time, there is the present time, the dispensation of the grace of God, where there is neither Jew nor Gentile, we are the same before God. He is making of Himself one new man, the Church, the Body of Christ. When the last member of the Body is saved, we will be raptured and He will once again turn His eyes to Israel and the covenants He made with that nation.

Correct me if I am wrong, for if I am remembering correctly Jesus did not tell anyone that he was God quote-unquote, but instead told them that same truth in a different way, telling the people that He was the son of God.

According to the Hebrew traditions which included that a son be equal to the father --- that would have made it out to be that Jesus was telling them that He was God, was equal to God.

Jesus said a lot of things...such as "If you have seen me you have seen the Father".

It is common enough for Christians to not necessarily take that particular saying of Jesus's to mean that Jesus was saying that He himself was the Father, as if there was no distinguishing one from another in utmost entirety.

As difficult as that can be to sort out (for they are truly One in higher spiritual reality, not just "as" one poetically, or as a manner of rhetorical description) it seems not at all likely to me that Jesus was as much saying that God the Father looked just like himself in physical appearance.
