Jesus said, “Salvation is of the Jews.” Acts 1:8.
Because they had the Prophets, and the holy scriptures, and, before the coming of Christ, theirs was the True Church of God-- at least, of all the true believers among them, not including most of the Pharisees. Christ is not saying that individual Jews-- like Barbara Boxer, George Soros, etc etc., are somehow Sacred and Holy, and we must be in their favor in order to go to heaven.
