Bible Question:
Why did Jesus say that he was for now only sent to the [non-Jewish, but Israelite] House of Israel and why is the new covenant only with a remnant few of them and of the the Jews :- Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. |
Bible Answer: Hello ohmi, First, there is no such thing as a "[non-Jewish, but Israelite] House of Israel." To answer your question, the Lord Jesus went to His own and offered them the kingdom as their messiah, but they rejected Him. In the future, He will establish again a covenant with Israel (Jer 31:31-34), but it will be new in form and scope. Steve |
