PAUL WAS SENT TO THE GENTILES...

 

 July 2,012

 

 

 

Was Paul really sent to the Gentiles?

 

The answer will surprise you!

 

 How about this lie? This will really throw you for a loop if you do not understand who Israel is. We have all been taught that Paul was sent to the "Gentiles" because our Bible says so. Is that who he was really sent to? Again, we go to the Scriptures...

 

 Acts 9:15 {NIV}

But the Lord said to Ananias, "Go! This man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel..."

 

 Acts 9:15 {RSTNSB}

But the Master Yshua said to him, "Arise and go, for he is a chosen vessel to Me to bear My Name before the nations and kings, and the children of Yisrael."

 

 RSTNSB Notes state: Many today still don't truly understand the call of Paul to the children of Yisrael in Judea and in the nations, seeing him as some sort of apostle to pagan gentiles alone. Also note that the call of Paul (as it is with all of us) is the proclamation of the kingdom, sealed in and by the Name of YHWH. Most versions of the Good News are devoid of the true Name and therefore not sealed by the Father.

 

 Acts 13:46

Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, "It was necessary that the word of YHVH should first have been spoken to you. But seeing you put it away from you and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, look, we turn to the nations.

 

Acts 18:6

... from now on, I go to the nations.

 

 Acts 22:21

And He said to me, "Depart, for I will send you far from here to the nations."

 

 Acts 28:20

For this cause therefore I have called for you, to see you and to speak with you; because it is for the hope of Yisrael that I am bound with these chains.

 

 The RTNSB Notes state: Paul's ministry to the nations was for the hope of the restoration, regathering, and homecoming of all Yisraelites and never to establish a separate non-Yisraelite entity.

 

 The RTNSB Notes states that the book of Acts had 29 chapters. "This 'missing chapter' is educational and informative, particularly historically speaking. Moreover in the light of the purposes of this unique edition, which seeks to show the overwhelming evidence for two-house restoration, we have included the 'missing chapter' of Acts. We feel, however, based on lack of valid second and third witnesses, that while this may be a very useful missing chapter, it must nonetheless be considered an item of topical interest and therefore must remain solely apocryphal... and cannot be considered Scripture..."

 

 Acts 29:2-3

For he {Paul} had heard in Phoenicia that certain of the children of Yisrael, about the time of the Ashurian captivity, had escaped by sea to Barat-Anat as spoken by the prophet Ezra, and called by the Romulusans - Barat-Anat. And YHVH commanded the besorot {Good News} to be preached far off to the nations, and to the lost sheep of the House of Yisrael.

 

 RTNSB Notes states: Also "Berit-Anat," considered by 17th century scholars Sammes and Bochart to be the ancient Phoenician name for Britain. In English sometimes referred to as: "The Tin Islands," or "Islands of Tin," as this metal was highly traded in the ancient maritime sailing routes in this area. Related to "Brit-Am," meaning "people of the covenant," or "covenant of the people." Britain was the then-farthest most-inhabited large group of islands north and west of Yisrael - the British Isles, including Scotland. Romulus had  by then conquered the greater part of Barat-Anat... Acts 9:15, 22:21. The Northern tribes - Efrayimites.

 

 Why was he sent to the nations? Because that is where the 10 Northern tribes of Israel had been scattered to. 

 

 He had been sent to the 10 tribes of Israelites who had become as Gentiles and YHVH was calling them back to His ways and Torah. 

 

 Remember, Yshua said "Do not go the way of the Gentiles?"

 

 Why? Because the majority of the true Gentiles would not hear the Besorah or Good News of the Kingdom. He had also said that He came for the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel.

 

 Yshua also said that He had other sheep that He had to bring into the fold. He was talking to Judah. Israel is always referred as sheep.

 

 So Paul was sent to regather the lost sheep of the House of Israel living in the nations.

 

 Did it surprise you? It did me. It only makes sense that Paul would not be sent to the Gentiles, but to the Lost Sheep of Israel.

 

 So if you believe in the God and Savior of Israel, then guess what? According to Ephesians 2:12, if you are in Messiah, you are of the Commonwealth of Israel and not of the "Church!"

 

 Something for you to chew on!

 

"Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the Only Eloah,  

be honor and glory forever and ever. Amein!"

1 Timothy 1:17
