Stephen, as he's being crucified, points out to the Jews, you've always killed God's prophets and you've killed Christ.
And so the reason why I think the scripture isn't throwing the Romans under the bus, so to speak, even though they obviously had a hand in Jesus' crucifixion, is because they saw ultimately who it was that they crucified and then they repented and they believed.
And the Jewish people, those who did not convert and follow Christ, ended up having to make a new religion in 70 AD when the Romans destroyed the temple.
Because all of those rites and rituals that we discussed, you know, that God had given the Jewish people for them to see and understand who Jesus was,
the festival of booths, Passover, all of those various rituals and the different kinds of sacrifices all required a temple, and it required an altar, it required blood, it required a priesthood to make that sacrifice.
Those no longer existed after 70 A.D.,
And so over the course of hundreds of years, the sect of the Pharisees that grew into modern Judaism had to essentially invent a Judaism that is not what you see in the pages of the Old Testament.
They renamed some feasts, right?
Like they still call it Passover, but it's not.
It doesn't resemble the Passover of the Old Testament.
It's a completely new disparate religion.
And that's why you have a desire among Christians throughout the last 2,000 years praying for the salvation of the Jewish people.
To be very clear, the Christian or covenantal theologian message is not that Jews are totally cut off from God and that they cannot be saved and that God hates them or anything like that, but it's that, congratulations, you're ethnically Jewish, that's great, God doesn't care.
like every other group of people on the face of the planet, you need to repent of your sins and believe the gospel.
That's the Christian message.
John Nelson Darby comes along and the message towards the Jewish people begins to change and begins to evolve.
And suddenly it's, instead of you need to repent of your sins and believe the gospel, it's you're special.
You're special to God.
God's going to bless you.
Regardless of whether or not you have faith in Jesus, just because you're Jewish, and you know, that's partiality.
