something most profound: "The ‘blind’ can’t see!"

many theologians believe that. Surely, if we present the gospel in just the right way, they will see! No, they won’t.
If they get sick enough of their life and sins, then they will see! No, they won’t.
If we tell them often enough and with enough conviction, with hundreds of scriptures, and with charts and diagrams, and with analogies and examples, surely then at least "some" of the blind will see! No, they won’t.
I’ll tell you why. Because the blind cannot see. I told you it was profound. You can hold it closer to their face, you can shout, you can shine a bright light on it. It doesn’t matter, "The blind can’t see!"

Christendom teaches that if people want to see and understand, then they can. It's all up to them! No it’s not. (it becomes a work trip again)
I know people who are physically blind, and they want to see, but they can’t because the blind can’t see.

When God Almighty "blinds" someone, they cannot see.

"Does not God thrust away His people?... God DOES NOT thrust away His people whom He fore knew" (Rom. 11:1-2).

"Thus, then, in the current era also, there has come to be a remnant according to the choice [God’s choice] of grace" (Rom. 11:8).

"What Israel is seeking for, this she did not encounter, yet the chosen [those God chose] encountered it. Now the rest [the rest of the Jews, all the rest of Israel] were calloused..." (Rom. 11:7).

Who calloused them? Who is operating all? Now pay close attention to this next verse.

just check translations and the Greek Text to be sure on this point,if you wish

"GOD gives them a spirit of stupor, eyes not to be observing, and ears not to be hearing, till this very day" (Rom. 11:8).

"Till this very day," was written 2000 years ago, and yet "till this very day" today, as a race, as a nation, as a religion, and as a people, the Jews have universally rejected their only Savior Jesus Christ.

Yes it was "God" Who did these things! Why would God do such a thing? Is there some purpose to it all? Yes there is.

"But in their [the Jews] offense is the salvation of the nations, to provoke them to jealousy (Rom. 11:11)

"By unbelief are they [the Jews] broken out, yet you stand in faith" (Rom 11:20).

Now listen to Paul carefully:

"Be not haughty (this is us), but fear" (Ver. 20).

"GOD parts to each the measure of faith" (Rom. 12:4).

Most Christians think faith is the one thing, for sure, that they must contribute on their own to be saved. To believe such a thing is not only unscriptural, but vane as well.

All of the haughty arrogance of Christendom would vanish over night if they would just believe and comprehend this one beautiful and profound verse of Scripture:

"Now what have you which you did not obtain?
Now if you obtained it also, why are you boasting as though not obtaining?" (I Cor. 4:7).

We must be thankful that God is calling us (the Gentiles), and to not be haughty.
Does any think that we are special but the cast-off Jews are not? (HUMMM dANIEL AND EBW???)
No! The Jews are very special to God.
God is able to graft them in again." (Rom. 11:24).

."For UNREGRETTED are the graces and the calling of God. For even as you once were stubborn toward God(THAT WOULD BE US GENTILES), yet now were shown mercy at their stubbornness, thus these also are now stubborn to this mercy of yours, that now they [all Israel] may be shown mercy.
For GOD locks up all together in stubbornness, that He should be merciful to all [Jews and Gentiles]. O, the depth of the riches and the wisdom and the knowledge of God!" (Rom. 11:29-33).

"For HIS achievement are we..." (Eph. 2:10)! "...our Saviour, God, Who WILLS THAT ALL MANKIND BE SAVED and come into a realization of the truth" (I Tim. 2:4).

Well, since it was "God" who blinded the Jews and caste them away, will He ever take them back and remove their blindness?

"For if their [the Jews] casting away is the conciliation of the world, what will the TAKING BACK be if not life from among the dead?" (Rom. 11:15).

"...that callousness [by God Ver. 8], in part, on Israel has come, until the complement of the nations may be entering. And thus ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED..." (Rom. 11:26)!!

Now Look at Ezekiel 37 beginning in verse 13

What do you say???

> "...I will make a NEW Covenant with the
> house of Israel, and the house of
> Judah...For this is the Covenant that I WILL
> MAKE [future tense] with the house of Israel
> AFTER THOSE DAYS (what are those days ?),
> saith the Lord;
> I will put my Laws INTO THEIR MINDS, AND
> WRITE THEM IN THEIR HEARTS; and I will be to
> them a God, and they shall be to me a
> people" (Heb. 8:8-10).

> "And thus ALL Israel shall be saved,
> according as it is written, Arriving out of
> Zion shall be the Rescuer [that’s CHRIST!].
> He WILL be turning away irreverence from
> Jacob [Jacob includes Israel and Judah,NOT
> THE GENTILES], And this is My Covenant with
> them whenever I SHOULD BE ELIMINATING THEIR
> SINS" (Rom. 11:26-27).

> HOW CAN YOU ATTRIBUTE THIS VERSE TO THE
> SPIRITUAL JEWS us for ex.?
