I love it that my Messianic friends to not stop with just the traditional Jewish observance of Passover, because truly the death and Resurrection of Yeshua is the complete Messianic story of Passover. This is from my friends, Martha and David Stern in Jerusalem. David is the translator of the Jewish New Testament, which for the first time put the New Covenant scripture back into Jewish-friendly terms, using the Hebrew names and mindset that the Jewish writers of the New Testament wrote in. This is very important - to make the gospel Jewish friendly again. A tug-of-war over that is not the will of God who said by the Holy Spirit through the apostle Paul that as the fulness of the Gentiles be come in, the blindness that God put over Israel spiritually would be removed, and so all Israel shall be saved. Dont think of that fulness as a number, like, Congratulations! You are our 1 trillionth customer! No, that fulness is a state or quality fulness; as Thayers puts it, in the NT, the body of believers, as that which is filled with the presence, power, agency, riches of God and of Christ. Only when the Gentile body of Christ is truly full of the presence, power, agency, riches of God and of Christ will it be grownup enough spiritually to fully embrace the will of God that Israel is being saved, and that God intends to save so many through faith in Yeshua that it has to be seen in terms of and so all Israel shall be saved. Right now, half the Church - amazingly the half of the Church that considers itself to be the prophetic cutting edge of Christianity - is not grown up enough. We are close - very close - but this embrace of what God is doing among the Jews is a NECESSARY part before God will answer the desires of the hearts of Christians for worldwide revival.
