PEARL #4

Non-Jews in the Tanakh

The Apostle, Sha’ul – Paul, quotes the scrolls from Hosea 2:23 RSB, 

 “And I will sow mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy, and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my Elohim.”                                        

Again Hosea 1:10 RSB, 

Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living El.  

Gentiles were always in the thoughts of the Hebrew God of the Jews. The redemptive plan of Yahweh includes the gentile nations being grafted into the natural branches, which is Israel. Sha’ul refers to this process in the book of Romans chapter 11. Quotations from Hosea are in Romans 9:25-26. Praise be to the Highest who is interested in all the children of the world! Thank you, Yahushua, a name meaning Yahweh’s Salvation.
