Do you know your family history from the year 723 BC? Or from 588 BC right before the Babylonians captured Israel and exiled a great number of Jew back to Babylon?IOW we are damned.... right?
My point is God made covenant/promises to Abraham that was extended to his son from his own loins and Sarah.
Later, God delivered nearly 3 million Jews out of Egyptian bondage and led them into the desert under Moses and then, later with Joshua? God made other promises to the Hebrew people and with that also gave them His Law to live by and under. Then, the prophet Jeremiah prophesied that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob would establish a New Covenant with the House of Israel and the House of Judah at some future date. These are all promises God made to the Hebrew people and seed of Abraham. At the same time, we learn from Scripture God made no promises to any non-Hebrew people as God calls the Hebrew people His Chosen people "above all families of the earth."
You claim to be non-Hebrew, but do you really know if this is true? Do you know for sure that somewhere in your ancestry there is no Hebrew parent at all? If you are truly born-again and saved and have been given the Holy Spirit of Promise God through the prophet Joel promised to Israel (the Hebrews), then by virtue of God's unfailing promises to this people your salvation comes because there is a Hebrew somewhere in your ancestry. In order for God to save you there would have to be at least one Hebrew parent in your ancestry and all God is doing is keeping the promises He's made to Abraham and his biological seed. The Ark of the Covenant is strictly a Hebrew "relic" that contains at least three items that represent God's protection, provision, and leadership of the Hebrew people that no other people can claim as their own. Aren't the Hebrew Scripture of Law, Psalms, and Prophet's writings that record and describe God's relationship with a people He Himself has involved Himself with throughout nearly six thousand years of their history? What people on the face of the earth can claim such a relationship with Creator God as the Hebrew people has with the God of Israel? Do you actually believe that no time in Israel's history and after being scattered throughout the non-Hebrew Gentile world that there are no mixed-race Hebrews born to both Hebrew and Gentile parents, whether through rape, concubinage, marriage, or fornication, slavery and adultery? Every Jew in the world has never made union with any Gentile and all Jews only mated with other Jews of the twelve family tribes of Jacob in all history?
Do you actually believe that?
