Why did Jesus ever say he was sent ONLY unto the Israelites ?

Question

Jesus was the last Israelite Prophet. If his message was truly for all the world then he would NEVER have said (even once) that he came only for one group of people unless he was sent only to the Israelites.

If he was sent to all the world then he would have said he had come for the whole world from the moment he started preaching.

(Matt 10:5-6)--- Jesus sent out these 12 after giving them instructions: "Don't take the road leading to other nations, and don't enter any Samaritan town. Instead, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
(Matthew 15:24) He (Jesus) replied, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
The main point is that if someone was sent for the whole world then he would have stated that from DAY ONE . Saying it later points toward a changing of directions after the first goal was not reached. This shows that the original target of the message was NOT the entire world.

God sent Jesus as a Messiah to the Jews.

A “Messiah” for the Jews was a last chance for getting forgiveness from the tremendous sin of killing so many Prophets in the past. A Messiah was to be a Redeemer for the Jews. If they accepted him and his admonitions then God would be forgive all the Jews for all their rebellion and no curse would be sent down.

It is too bad the true message of Jesus did not reach us all. We all receieved the message of Paul who never met Jesus.

Jesus was the last Prophet sent unto the Israelites and after he was denied, Prophethood was shifted to the Ishmaelites.

Answer 1

Prophethood was not Jesus' main calling.

He was sent to the Israelites because they were the ones God promised to send the Messiah to.... and once rejected by most, He went out to the world, both Jews and Gentiles

Paul met Jesus on the road while he was still 'Saul'.... Christ was not 'on the earth' but He did speak to Saul, blinded him, and spoke about why Saul persecuted Jesus.... that is when Paul realized who Jesus was...

and Jesus has always been the same, and speaks to us and thru us today....

no true prophet of God was sent to the Ismaelites.... only a false one who many believed and follow

Answer 2

Yhshua/Jesus was prophesied in the OT to be the Messiah of Israel. His life fulfilled dozens upon dozens of prophesies from the OT; prophesies including ones that said he would be *rejected* by the Jewish leaders.

YHWH/Jehovah promised Abraham that all nations would be blessed through his seed.
And there are many Scriptures in the OT that show that there will be some from "all nations" and "all peoples" who will submit to be under YHWH/Jehovah's Kingdom rule (Psalm 86:9; Isaiah 2:2; Genesis 12:3; Galatians 3:8) note: if it says LORD in your Bible it is where God's Holy Divine Name YHWH or Jehovah has been wickedly removed.

So, Jesus first offered salvation to those honest hearted Jews who recognized him as the promised Messiah. Those Jews in the first century who recognized him will all reign with him over the 1,000 years of earthly paradise before he hands that Kingdom back to his Almighty God and Father Jehovah (1 Cor 15:24-28)

So the Jews had the first right to YHWH's Kingdom, but the way was opened up to all other nations three and a half years after Christ's sacrifice (Matthew 22:1-14; Acts 10:15-28; Acts 13:45, 46)

agape!

Answer 3

The Brit Chadasha (The New Covenant or New Testament) teaches us that the Jewish Messiah, Jesus Christ, came to the “lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matthew 15:24) precisely at the time preceding the destruction of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. “But when Messiah arrived as a High Priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more complete Tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered into the Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been made common, sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Messiah, Who through the eternal Spirit, offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the Living God?” (Hebrews 9:11-14).

The New Testament teaches that all of us, Jews and gentiles, have “missed the mark.” (Romans 3:23) All of us are under the consequences of sin, and “the wages of sin is death.” (Romans 6:23) We are all in need of salvation from our sin; we are all in need of a Savior. The New Testament teaches that Jesus the Messiah is “the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father”, but through Him. (John 14:6) And most importantly, “there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under Heaven given among men by which it is necessary for us to be saved." (Acts 4:12).

Answer 4

The Jews have been the chosen human beings of God and God`s choose replaced into that by this human beings the completed worldwide might exchange into believers and so we see the affirmation of this while Christ chosen to be born into this u . s ., regrettably the Israelites or Jews rejected the Messiah and via doing so their very own salvation which replaced into then open to the pagan countries.

Answer 5

I agree with you. Since the Israels denied Jesus, so God sent a new prophet to other nation apart from Israel (gentiles or "ummi" in Arabic). So we call the prophet as gentile prophet (or Nabiyin Ummi in Arabic)

Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you (Israel) and given to a nation (gentile), producing the fruit of it. (Matthew 21:43)

Answer 6

Jesus came to the Jews not the rest of the world because the rest of the world had different gods. Now if only the religions that sprung out of this belief set could learn to respect that.

Answer 7

Jesus was sent to His own people to allow them to be ready to go into all the world with the Gospel, however, they rejected Him. But his disciples who followed Him did just that by going into all the world and that is why the gospel is still being preached in all the world for a witness and then the end will come.
