I’m asking this to gain knowledge, not to be a wise guy. How does God reconcile the fact that Jews deny that Christ was who he said he was? Thanks ahead of time for your answer.

That is an excellent question. The vast majority of Jews still deny that Jesus was the Messiah. (You can help change that by getting involved with Biblesforisrael.com). But basically that is the main point of the Tribulation period, to bring Israel to the point where they recognize that Jesus is their Messiah. That’s how God will reconcile that fact with His covenant. Isn’t He an awesome God?

That’s Ireneaus on the subject. Book V:36:1 of his Against Heresies.

Here is an excellent commentary on God's promise to restore and save Israel.

The Church has not replaced Israel, the Church is not Israel, and God is not finished with His chosen people and nation, through whom He brought the Messiah into the world and through whom He brought forth the Scriptures.

God will save His nation and His people, and they will hold exalted positions in His millennial kingdom.

If God tells us that He is not done with His people, even though a portion of them are currently living in disbelief and disobedience, who are you going to believe? God or antisemitic "pastors" and "churches"?

He promised he would keep his covenant. In this passage from Ezekiel 16, He is talking to Israel, saying how she has prostituted herself out. The key word here is “Nevertheless”. Meaning...No matter what. He made a promise to keep His covenant “No matter what”.

” 60“Nevertheless, I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you. 61“Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, both your older and your younger; and I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of your covenant. 62“Thus I will establish My covenant with you, and you shall know that I am the LORD, 63so that you may remember and be ashamed and never open your mouth anymore because of your humiliation, when I have forgiven you for all that you have done,” the Lord GOD declares.”

God ALWAYS keeps His Word. He will ALWAYS find a way. It’s only up to us to believe that and live up to it the best we can.
