Why do most Jews not accept the new covenant ?

A Chapter by stranger-n-life

Why do most Jews not accept their new covenant in their prophets -Jer 31:31-34? [c.f. St Paul, the Jewish saint , Heb 8: 8-12]


Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Is it not clear who are Israel in this passage ? In contradistinction to what many 'christian' sinners claim , that they are more holy as sinners somehow, that they are 'Israel' despite being sinners , but Israel was rejected even from being Israel because of sin ? All this despite what the new covenant above says , that the children of the two Houses of anciently divided Israel are now accepted, having been rejected, that the new covenant is with those whose fathers broke the old covenant [Heb 8:8-9]

It seems that God does not accept sinners who remain sinners to death [or till Jesus' return if that be sooner] , where does that leave 'christain' sinners who believe they can sin as long as they like ? St Paul makes no exceptions here for sinners who call Jesus their lord or say they believe him whilst not doing what he commands, love, but continue in sin instead :-

2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.


Why do the Jews then not see through the false 'christ' of 'christian sinner' {oxymoron] paganism and recognise that Yeshua is very different than the modern image of Christ ... what is it that makes them reject the scriptural Yeshua simply because the modern image of Jesus is obviously a fake image for soothsaying to sinners ?


[The Jewish saints point out the modern error in scripture:-
2 Timothy 2:19,Matthew 7:23,Matthew 5:48 ,Romans 6:1-2, etc, etc]


The Torah and the Prophets discuss at length the re-union of the Jews with the idolatous [non-Judaistic] paganised House of Israel under the Messiah , Yeshua said he had come to begin the gathering , but the [many Jewish] saints were killed and scattered worldwide when the 'seven churches of G-d' were destroyed and Rome took over the name [only] of 'christianity' for its pagan religion ... why then do Jews not recognise the slow patient work of the [very few- Rev 7:3-4] saints following the Jewish Messiah's instructions all over the world ? [Matthew 10:6,Matthew 15:24,Acts 2:36,Hebrews 8:8-12, etc, etc...]


The Torah prophesies that it is the lost nation of foolish [G-d-less] House of Israel that will wake up and cause the Jews to become jealous for their Messiah :-


Deuteronomy 32:21 ... and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger witha foolish nation.

Isaiah 7:8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.

Deuteronomy 28:64 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; andthere thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
Note that the Jews have clung to Judaism, the House of Israel serve other gods, idols ...

1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.


The House of Israel are the only nation in scripture that are not a people today, yet God has a new covenant with them and sent the Messiah to begin the gathering of a remnant of their children [descendants] from amongst the gentiles because they are now forgiven by the new covenant explicitly with them - see above and Heb 8:8-12]
