Thanks for taking the time to replying back....

You said.."You and I have I, I think, have differing foundational premises. Because of that we tend to interpret the same concepts differently." Now this is true and not true. I grew up, basically from day one in church. My dad was an elder and my mom played the piano. I went to church on Sunday for many many decades. However around 6 years ago the Spirit challenged me and asked me how did I know what I believed was true? With that it led me to research everything I believed. I started over so to speak but with the understanding that Jesus/Yeshua is the Messiah and it is only by His blood can I have salvation! With that being said..I also agree that it is nice to be able to differ pleasantly!

By the time we find the term used in the Bible, it is obviously being used to refer to more than the tribe of Judah.

Yes this is true, when the 10 northern tribes got assimilated into the nations only the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi stayed in the land and the people from either one of those tribes where called a Jew. Such as Paul was called himself a Jew in Acts 21:39, but in Romans 11:1 he said he was from the tribe of Benjamin.

The word Jews in this verse obviously references all of the people in Israel just as Gentiles references all of the nations not belonging to Israel.

Just note that there are 10 tribes of Israel that have been "lost" so to speak within the nations and one day when the Messiah comes back He will let those people know which tribe they belong too!

I used the word Jews in the most normal sense today, not in the strictest sense.

I understand what you are saying and going forward I will take note of that!

Regarding observing a group observing the Feast of Tabernacles today - I think that is an excellent idea!

Glad to hear that, I also agree that the Jews are HIGHLY influenced by traditions and have strayed far from the intent of the Feast. In my previous comment I referenced a website. The people there believe the Jesus is the Messiah as well as do their best in keeping the Feasts of the Lord, with that being said I would suggest going that route!

Just for clarity you think the below won't apply to the believers in the Millennial Kingdom and only to the Jews?

Zechariah 14:16-19 "And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 17 And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain. 18 If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the Lord strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles."

What about the last few chapters of Ezekiel? It is all about the temple during the Millennial Kingdom? Chapter after chapter it talks about how the temple is going to look and the priests and the sacrifices that will be taking place. Sacrifices such as grain offerings and peace offerings.

It also says the priests will... and note He is talking about "His" people and I'm sure you can agree that would include us.

Ezekiel 44:23-24 “And they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the unholy, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. 24 In controversy they shall stand as judges, and judge it according to My judgments. They shall keep My laws and My statutes in all My appointed meetings, and they shall hallow My Sabbaths."

In Ezekiel 45:18-25 it talks about everyone keeping His feasts..."Thus says the Lord God.."

Here is another question...In Ezekiel's vision of the temple in chapter 48 starting at verse 30 he talks about the gates to the city. "the gates of the city shall be named after the tribes of Israel" Then if you go to Revelation 21 starting in verse 12.."twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.." Here is my question, do you believe you are grafted into Israel? If you don't which gate will you pass through since all the gates have one of the names of the tribe of Israel on them? If you have been grafted into Israel as Romans 11 talks about then all the promises that God has made to Israel would also apply to you as well! Over and over Gods says forever and throughout all of your generations, so those promises are for His people and if we have been grafted in then they apply to us as well.

One more set of verses...these verses say that "all" flesh, not just Gentiles or the nations or the Jews, but all flesh!

Isaiah 66:20-24
20 Then they shall bring all your brethren for an offering to the Lord out of all nations, on horses and in chariots and in litters, on mules and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord. 21 And I will also take some of them for priests and Levites,” says the Lord.
22 “For as the new heavens and the new earth
Which I will make shall remain before Me,” says the Lord,
“So shall your descendants and your name remain.
23 And it shall come to pass
That from one New Moon to another,
And from one Sabbath to another,
All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.
24 “And they shall go forth and look
Upon the corpses of the men
Who have transgressed against Me.
For their worm does not die,
And their fire is not quenched.
They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”

Again Brother always enjoyable having these discussions! Praying for God to show you and I HIS truth. I also pray that He pours His blessings out upon you and your family!

Shalom!
