https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 1 * PART 4 * BOOK 45 I Timothy 2:3-7 - Part 2 "Whereunto (Paul says) I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity." Now I trust you all realize, that all the way up through the Old Testament beginning with the appearance of Israel in Genesis chapter 12 and the Abrahamic Covenant, God dealt only with the nation of Israel, with an occasional exception. Matthew 10:5 6. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Matthew 15:21-22 A valid request? Matthew 15:23 "But he answered her not a word. Then if Israel would have fallen in line, He could have sent the Jews out into the Gentile world, but not until Israel came in first. Matthew 15: 24. Alright, verse 25. Matthew 15:25-26 Gentiles! Israel! I can’t take that which belongs to Israel and give it to Gentiles. Now reading on here in Matthew chapter 15. Now verse 27. Matthew 15:27 Matthew 15:28 "Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith; be it unto thee even as thou wilt. I don’t care what people say about Galilee being Gentile, there is not one word in the Scriptural record that Jesus ever ministered to Gentiles other than to these two. Now don’t lose sight all of this is coming from what we read back to I Timothy chapter 2 verse 6 where Paul says, I am the teacher of the Gentiles. Jesus, in His earthly ministry, and His disciples ministered only to Israel. But, Paul is immediately told to now go to the Gentile world. In the midst of those crowds of Jews, we find some Gentiles: John 12:20 Gentiles.) John 12:21 What did Peter tell him? Now, verse 22. What Jesus told them back in Matthew 10, have nothing to do with Gentiles. And so, Philip knew that it was not his place to take these Gentiles to speak with Jesus. Philip knew that Jesus had nothing to do with Gentiles. So Philip goes over and finds Andrew and says, "Andrew there’s Gentiles out here that want to see Jesus. Andrew evidently says to Philip, "Let’s go ask the Lord." Now verse 22. John: 12:22 "Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus." Gentiles." Now read the next verse. John 12:23 What’s the lesson? Alright, Jesus is giving them a lesson. Not until He had been, and I will use the word that Paul uses in Romans chapter 6, He had to be planted. Let’s turn to Romans chapter 11 verse 13. Absolutely, we study the Old Testament! Now looking at verse 13, and this is just plain English! Romans 11:13a Gentiles, (why?) inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles,..." The Apostle Paul becomes the only writer of Scripture that pertains to the Church Age. Jesus and the twelve are constantly preaching the "Kingdom of Heaven," the "Gospel of the Kingdom," to Israel. Paul never used the term! But, Paul instead uses the "Body of Christ" and the "Gospel of the Grace of God." So Paul says, I am the Apostle of the Gentiles. Romans 12:13b Defend his apostleship. Some said, we listen to Peter. Now Galatians chapter 2 verse 7. Galatians 2:7 The gospel of the Gentiles) was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision (the Jew) was unto Peter;" Isn’t it plain! Here we have it laid out so clearly, inspired by the Holy Spirit that the Gospel of the Gentile was committed unto the Apostle Paul. And, the Gospel for the Jew was committed unto Peter. To Israel it was the "Gospel of the Kingdom." So God sent Israel into the dispersion that has lasted unto our very day. And He sent the Apostle Paul out to the Gentile world with the "Gospel of the Grace of God" (I Corinthians 15:1-4) which he calls here the Gospel of the Gentiles. Next verse. Galatians 2:8 "(For he that wrought effectually in Peter (the same Jesus, who, of course, worked through Peter and the eleven, tremendously) to the apostleship of the circumcision (Jews), the same (Christ) was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)" God sent him east instead of west! Now verse 9. Israel was falling through the cracks. Israel was rejecting His Messiahship. Israel was rejecting the Gospel of the Kingdom. And Paul is ascending as Israel goes down, Paul and his Gentile congregations are rising. Galatians 2:9 "... that we (Paul and Barnabas) should go unto the heathen (the Gentile world), and they (Peter and the eleven would go, where?) unto the circumcision. (to Israel)" In Acts 10, God sends Peter up to that Gentile house or Cornelius. (by virtue of Peter) Peter, how could you? See?) If Peter suddenly understood that God was going to save Gentiles, why bother to go back to Jerusalem? Paul was the Apostle of the Gentiles, and Peter and the eleven remained as the Apostles of Israel, and I have always said that according to this Book, Peter and the eleven never had a ministry to the Gentiles. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
