Subject: Who are "the least of these?" |
Bible Note: Dear Dhaniei You say: "Throughout the NT we read, 'to the Jew first, then to the Greek'." Are there more than these, or have I missed some? Rom 1:16 16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Rom 2:9 9) Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; Rom 2:10 10) But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: Anyway, God has His own way of dealing with the first last issue. Mat 19:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. Mat 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. As an example of God causing this first, last event to take place, there are examples in the Old Test. Ishmael, Isaac - - Esau, Jacob - - Rachel, Leah - - Reuben, Joseph - - Manasseh, Ephraim It appears as though it is another case of God rearranging the affairs of men. Gods Love YenIsaRap |
