In the days of Moses did Israel God's chosen people receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

Answer 1

The "Gospel" is the good news of what Jesus' life, death and resurrection would accomplish for mankind. It is not just four books of the New Testament, but the entire Bible.

If you read the book of Hebrews, it explains how in the laws given at Sinai (through Moses) was a "picture" or "shadow" of the things that Jesus would accomplish. It laid out for them all the things that he would accomplish.

So while they did not have the four biographies of his life, they did have teachings to show them what God was planning to do. They were able to look ahead, and see the salvation that was coming, and place their faith in it.

So while they did not have the books we usually call "the Gospels", they did have the "Good News" (gospel) of what God was going to do to redeem mankind.

Answer 2

Under the Laws of God, which the hebrews governed their lives, the gospel of 'Jesus' would have been an abomination to those Laws. Human sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin was a MAJOR no-no, also offering up such a sacrifice upon a High Place, like Mt. Calvary. Eating the flesh and blood of such a sacrifice, even ritualistically or symbolically, would have been seen as sinful. The abomination thing is one of the reasons that their are still hebrews today.

There were the 'Sons of Ephraim', canaanites, spoken of in the OT books of Hosea and Habakuk that DID follow a similar mythology and ritual practice as Christians. They used human sacrifice for the forgivenss of sin, offered such sacrifice upon the high places, venerated a stick of wood as their identifying symbol, and relished in their sin almost as much as Christians do. Though within the texts they are condemened for such abominations.

One should note that Ephraim was the son of Joseph, born in the city of Bethel, and also called the 'Right Hand of the Father.

Habakuk 2:16 the cup from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.

The 'sons of ephraim' as well as the Christians make people into sinners as a part of their religion.

Answer 3

NO. They instead received the Old Covenant of the Law. When Jesus Christ came he dispensed the New Covenant and that was the gospel his disciple gave to the world.

Answer 4

As salaamu 'alaikym, my friend.

Insha'Allah, no. they received the revelations that YHWH gave to the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him).
The Prophet Essa (i.e, Yeshua bin Yoseph in Hebrew, Jesus Christ in biblical Greek, Issa in Aramaic) came more than a thousand years later.

Ma'a salaam.

Answer 5

They were judged by the Law. The Gospel of Jesus Christ fulfills (shows the Truth behind) those Laws. It is a different Covenant entirely.

Answer 6

Since "Jesus" (Yeshua, actually - there is no "j" in Hebrew) is God incarnate, and God on Sinai told everyone they had to believe and obey - which is the exact same message He taught when He walked the earth about 1200 years later - I'd say He did. Neither He nor His message have changed. "Why do you call me, Lord, Lord and do not do what I say?" Yeshua asked the crowd.

Good question.

Answer 7

Read Hebrews 3, then beginning in chapter 4 we read: 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. ***********************2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them:*************** but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

Verses 3-9 go on to prove that Christians should keep the seventh day Sabbath.

Answer 8

Yes, Jesus place the gospel in a time capsule and launched it backward to Moses for the edification and enrichment of ancient Hebrews

Answer 9

moses lived and died long before jesus was born. christianity did not exist until after jesus died.

Answer 10

They heard that there would be a christ to come. But at that time didn't know when or how.
