Ephesians was written by Saul to Jewish Christians in Ephesus. The Jews and Jewish Christians were chosen from the foundation of the world.Gentiles are in the Abrahamic Covenant which is also the New Covenant, thats because they were Chosen in Christ before the foundation, and
PROOF:
6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. Deut. 7:5–6.
No, it is grounded on Abraham for his faith in God.the Abrahamic Covenant is grounded in Christ Abrahams Spiritual Seed Gal 3:16
It is fulfilled in Christ through the Mosaic Covenant. He is the Paschal Lamb of God sacrificed according to the Law of Moses to atone for the sins of the children of Israel.
Yeah, that's after the fact. But for nearly three thousand years the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob's descendants enjoyed the blessings and inheritance of the covenant promises God gave to Abe and his seed. All this history is found in the Old Testament.16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
Saul is writing to Jews that are "KEPT" under the Law which is the schoolmaster to bring THEM to Christ. And it performed its purpose perfectly.And Christ and all the Gentiles Chosen in Him are that One Abrahamic Seed Gal 3:29
Let's see who the "YE" are identified as:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise
23 But before faith came, we (JEWS) were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24 Wherefore the law was our (JEWS) schoolmaster to bring us (JEWS) unto Christ, that we (JEWS) might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we (JEWS) are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 For ye (JEWS) are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you (JEWS) as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye (JEWS) are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye (JEWS) be Christ’s, then are ye (JEWS) Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Gal. 3:23–29.
Non-Hebrew Gentiles were never under any of the three Hebrew covenants which means they are never heirs to the covenant promises.
To claim they are means to steal the inheritance given to Abraham and his seed.
That's like your parents leave a will with you inheriting everything they possess when they pass, but here comes your neighbor from down the street claiming they are the rightful inheritors of your parents' possessions.
That's the same thing non-Hebrew Gentiles have done against Israel these past 1900 years.
But non-Hebrew Gentiles are silent about claiming to be Abraham's seed which Israel was in the Promised Land and occupied by the Romans. Why aren't there any non-Hebrew Gentiles claiming to be in the Abraham Covenant then??
They only claim it after Israel was destroyed and they could get away with it.
And for 1900 years they have gotten away with it but there will come a judgment day and God will destroy all non-Hebrew Gentiles as prophesied.
