What do you do with the book of Romans then ? Especially Rom. 3:19-28?
Also what about Hebrews 9:16,17. Remember who this was written to, Hebrews, not Hebrews and Gentiles.

I believe that Hebrews through Revelation were/are written to those Jews who will be going through the Tribulation. Remember that God promised Abraham that Israel would be a nati9n of PRIESTS to the other nations. Which is exactly what Hebrews is about: a nation of PRIESTS.

Hebrews, 1 and 2 Peter, James, 1&2 John and Jude all speak to the Hebrews, the twelve tribes scattered abroad, the last days, the last time, etc. It is the wrapping up of prophecy. That was promised to Israel. The Old Testament, including Matthew, Mark, Luke and John (yes those gospels are part of the Old Testament. See Hebrews 9:16,17 to see this so. The New Testament doesn’t actually begin until the Day of Pentecost.
A Jewish celebration attended and preached to by Peter and the 11. It was not for Gentiles. This Testament was interrupted when God blinded and deafened Israel and set her aside because of her unbelief.

It will be taken up again when God once again turns His eyes to Israel, that’s what the tribulation is all about. And Hebrews through Revelation.

What about us? What happens to the Gentiles? That’s what Paul’s Epistles are all about. The ONE NEW MAN, the CHURCH THE BODY OF CHRIST. you will learn in those Epistles where, when, why, how it began, what our commission is, and how we are going to be removed, so God can once again turn HIS love, attention, and promises to Gus Covenant people, the Jews.

There is no more literal Jewish nation (neither Jew nor Gentile) and now only one in Christ. But the bible is very clear that the church is Israel. We gentiles were grafted into the vine. The promises offered to the Jewish nation previously (back then exclusive) are offered to us now. Everyone has the same chance including literal Jews. And, some do believe as in the Messianic Jews. Awesome people they are. There is no going back to save literal Jews. The Left Behind series of books is pure fantasy.
