Much like with "What Is A Woman?" one has to ask...
What is a Jew...in YHVH's eyes? (Behold the hand, Behold the nail)
And from there we can go to the grafted branch or the lost tribes or...
Well, you know what I mean, hopefully. You get the idea.
Think of the surprise of the people who didn't know they were Jews...in YHVH's eyes.
Matthew 8:6-10
5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
7 And Jesus saith unto him, I
will come and heal him.
8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but
speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and
I say to this man,
Go, and
he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
10 When Jesus heard it, he
marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great
faith, no, not in Israel.
Recognition returned in immediate praise and healing...for Gentiles.
(and that's BEFORE Christ died on the cross)
No humbling like with what will happen to members of the synagogue of Satan.
