Full Inclusion Now Underway?

May the God of Israel and His Messiah Bless You

Joel C. Rosenberg has published an interesting post at his blog.  Given what appears to be a significant upsurge of interest amongst Jews in Jesus Christ as the Jewish Messiah, one wonders how long it will be before Israel will become recategorised as a Christian country.

As you read this, do so with the spectacles of Romans 11 firmly in place:  "So I ask, did they [the Jews] stumble in order that they might fall?  By no means!  Rather through their trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous.  Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their  failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!"  [Romans 11: 11-12]

A big, untold story: Since last Yom Kippur, millions of Jews have begun searching for the Messiah, and for atonement for their sins. The media isn’t reporting this. But it’s worth examining.

At sundown, we begin Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. This is the highest holy day on the Jewish calendar, and one of great Biblical and historic and cultural importance to my people.  I so wish I was home with Lynn and our sons in Israel tonight. Instead, I am in the U.S. speaking at a number of events, from Dallas to San Luis Obispo to Washington, D.C. to Toronto. I am speaking about the darkness that is falling in our world. But I am also explaining to people about a fascinating phenomenon that I’m observing.

Since last Yom Kippur, millions of Jews have begun a quest to find the Messiah. For reasons I cannot fully explain, Jews are suddenly searching for answers to the deepest and most important questions concerning life and death and God and atonement and eternity, in numbers unprecedented in history. Some are searching through the Hebrew Scriptures for answers. A stunning number are actually reading the New Testament, most for the first time. They are searching on Google for information about the Messiah. They are even watching a new series of videos by Jews who claim to have found the answers. The videos — some of which have gone viral — were produced and posted on a new website called www.imetmessiah.com.
To me, these are fascinating developments. They certainly aren’t being reported by the media. But they are worth examining. That said, more on all that in a moment.

First, a few thoughts about Yom Kippur itself.
