Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 4 * BOOK 35 EPHESIANS 1:6-10 - PART 2 We're still in Ephesians chapter 1 and verse 10, so let's go back there for a moment. Ephesians 1:8-9 Ephesians 1:10 Now we took the concept in the last lesson that the spheres that God has been dealing with through history is Heaven and earth. All the rest of God's history is earthly. The Nation of Israel, and all that was around them were earthly, and when Israel rejected everything then God turned to the Gentiles, and began to work in the heavenlies. God pulls that little nation out of the rest of humanity, and sets them apart. Then when Christ starts His earthly ministry to the Nation of Israel, the Jew, there were only two exceptions where he ministered to Gentiles, and don't let anyone ever try to tell you that He went to Jews and Gentiles. Well it's in the Scriptures, and refers to Israel as the land of Palestine. Now Matthew chapter 10. In this chapter Jesus has just called out the 12 disciples. Now verse 5. Matthew 10:5-6 (God's earthly people) So Christ's earthly ministry was confined to His earthly people Israel, and there were only two exceptions, and I'll show you one of them right now as it's right in chapter 15. Well I just know that's it's an odd number chapter. Matthew 15:21-23 Well, the Lord has something else on His mind, and so now verse 24, so He answers to the Twelve. Matthew 15:24 "But he answered and said, `I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel,'" Matthew 15:25 Matthew 15:26 Israel, the Jews. Gentiles. The Lord says, `I can't take that which is on the table of Israel, and give it to Gentiles. Why? Because of the Covenant promises. The prophets prophesied the coming of the Messiah to Israel, and there's not a word in there that the Gentiles were to receive any of the blessing of Israel. So again Jesus says - Matthew 15:26 "Thou preparest a table before me..." This place of privilege that only Israel could enjoy so they literally feasted at the Lord's table. How? They had the Word of God.. We Gentiles were never feasting at the Lord's table when God was dealing with Israel. Now verse 1, and here Paul says- Romans 3:1 because that unto them were committed the oracles (Word) of God." All right now that was Israel's blessing, they had the Word of God. Now reading verse 26. Matthew 15:26-28 Now continuing on with the earthly kingdom aspect in Scripture, let's go back to Matthew 1:1. Now this will substantiate what I just said, that God could not break His Covenant promises with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Matthew 1:1 "The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham." The reason is Matthew is going to present Christ as the King of the nation Israel, Israel's Messiah. Matthew 3:2 "And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." It sounds heavenly, but where was this heavenly Kingdom going to be? On the earth. When we enter into the Kingdom economy like it says in that verse, "everything is going to come under Christ's headship." The earthly people of Israel, and their earthly kingdom, and all the ramifications of the heavenly people, the Body of Christ. Now verse 27. Matthew 19:27 When Peter said, Matthew 16:16b "...Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." So what Peter is saying here is much like what Abraham said back in Genesis chapter 15. Remember God promised Abraham the land, and promised him all these other things, and then the great man of faith still said what? Genesis 15:8 "And he said, `Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?'" Then the Lord gave him a title deed. Well here in Matthew chapter 19 Peter is the same way. Matthew 16:17b "...Blessed art thou Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven." Jesus answers and says- Matthew 19:28 "And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you. Peter thought the King would be coming back at any moment in Acts chapter 1, and wondered, "We have 12 thrones to fill for the Nation of Israel,…
