The Jews are a chosen people (Deut 7:6) because God selected them to be a holy (separate) priestly nation. In fact, that is why 70 (Sanhedrin)\u00a0 judges were appointed- to judge the nations. Initially the 70 judges would judge the tribes of Israel but eventually they would judge the 70 nations of Genesis 10 (70 nations<\/a>).\u00a0 The Septuagint Greek (LXX) version has 72 nations<\/strong> (as do early traditions). Israel would need 6 x 12 =72 judges (6 per tribe) so perhaps Moses and Aaron were not counted along with the Sanhedrin because they were the “court of appeal” as it were.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n The prophet Isaiah talks about Jacob (Israel) being a servant and being chosen. In the first instance the servant prophecies reference king Hezekiah who acted as the divine agent and also as the peoples representative.\u00a0 Ultimately the prophecies point to the sufferings of messiah.\u00a0 This does not mean that the nation of Israel will not have a physical presence in the future but one thing is certain that future is not Zionism.<\/strong> \u00a0 The servant is Christ and the New Israel is everyone that inherits the covenants invested in the messiah (from Abraham onward).\u00a0 There will be a remnant that turn to God at the end but many will experience divine wrath.<\/p>\r\n There are many Christians who sit at the feet of the “sages” and the rabbis as though they are about to receive the oracles of God himself from the lips of a “holy people”.\u00a0 These Christians have been deceived as they have no idea how apostate the Jews are.\u00a0 Putting aside (for the moment) the fact that they still reject the messiah\u00a0 they have even replaced the Torah with the interpretations of the Talmud.\u00a0 Many Talmudic teachings are foul. They have nothing to do with the Old Testament (Torah).\u00a0 They are utterly corrupt. For example,the Chabad Rebbe taught that Moshiach will come when the world becomes either all good or all evil.<\/strong> The physical realm is incapable being all good, so they settle for making the world as chaotic and evil as they can, which they believe will bring their Moshiach and their redemption.<\/p>\r\nThe Jews have gone astray<\/h2>\r\n
