1 | Were the Jews doomed? | Is 58:2 | Fabulous Debz | 230569 | ||
Before Christ came as the ultimate atonement for our sins, the Jews lived under various covenants. The four major ones being the Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic and Davidic covenannts. Under these God made provision for the Jews and those who did not live righteously according to the stipulations laid down will face the same fate as those of us today who know of and have not accepted Christ. The Messianic covenant, which is the new covenant under which we live today ratifies the failure of the previous ones but does not nullify what they have already accomplished. As the Bible says in Deuteronomy 7:9 New International Version (NIV) "Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments." |

2 | Were the Jews doomed? | Is 58:2 | Bill Richardson | 230609 | ||
The answer above is good but I just wanted to make certain I understand correctly. It seems to me that Yes, of course, the Jews were all doomed to suffer the same fate as ALL mankind. Paul made this clear in Rom 3:23 for ALL of us are human and have a great irresitable urge to NOT live the absolutely perfect life like Jesus. So from the very beginning upon kicking Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, God knew that we would all need His Son as the Perfect Sacrifice to take care of our sins, thus His Plan to send Jesus for that purpose, Gen 3:15. All the heros of the Bible, even Abraham, Moses and all the others made mistakes in their lives and thus needed this avenue to make it to Heaven. Without Christ's Blood to cover our sins, any person on Judgment Day is doomed to spend eternity in Hell. 1 Pet 1:2 elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied. 1 Jn 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
