The Scriptures, the Messiah, and the Church-Thanking G-d for the Jew

What do the scriptures, the Messiah, and the church all have in common? 
The answer- The Jew

G-d used the Jews to give the world the scriptures."... unto them were committed the oracles of G-d." Romans 3: 2

G-d gave the world the Messiah, Saviour of the world, by way of the Jew."...the angel Gabriel was sent from G-d unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David;...and, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Yeshua (Jesus).  He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the L-rd G-d shall give unto him the throne of his father David:and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end." Luke 1:26-33

G-d built the church from the Jew Messiah,  the apostles spreading the gospel were Jews, the first believers that congregated were the Jews.  "And they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers... and they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising G-d, and having favour with all the people,  And the L-rd added to the church daily such as should be saved."

Have you thanked G-d today  for the Jews?

G-d's battle axe-the Jewish people

Jeremiah 51:19-20 "The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the L-RD of hosts is his name. Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations and with thee will I destroy kingdoms:..."

The world may despise the state of Israel but G-D is using Israel for his "battle axe" against the nations that are against Him.

Pray for Israel and for G-D's kingdom to come.

My Jewish Bible says...

"Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son"s name, if thou canst tell?" Proverbs 30:4

Can you you tell who this is and who his Son is?

After the Resurrection

 What happened after the Resurrection of The Messiah from the grave and after revealing himself to his disciples?

Psalm 110:1 "The L-RD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool."

Compare with

Mark 16:19-20 "So then after the L-rd had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of G-d. And they went forth, and preached every where, the L-rd working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen

Hebrews 1:1-3  "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds: who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right had of the Majesty on high;"
