The Jewishness of Our Faith

Many fail to realize the Jewishness of their faith and when they encounter it they spiritualize it. Many have forgotten that the Lord was “not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matthew 15:24); that the apostles were Jews; that the three thousand souls baptized on the day of Pentecost (cf. Acts 2:41) were “Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven (Acts 2:5); that those in the temple at the hour of prayer (cf. Acts 3) which heard the word and believed “the number of the men was about five thousand [Jews]” (Acts 4:4); and that Acts 21:20 acknowledges the “many thousands of Jews there are which believe.”

James wrote “to the twelve tribes” (James 1:1), Peter to the Diaspora (cf. 1 Peter 1:1), and Hebrews, contrary to popular opinion, was written to the Hebrews!

But most significantly, the Goyim have forgotten that “Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross” (John 19:19 ), “ in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS” (Luke 23:38).
