The Jews as a nation have been very corrupt throughout history. Both many nations, and also the prophets of God have called the Jews a perverse people. Moses said,
“They have dealt corruptly with him, they are not his children, it is their blemish;
They are a perverse and crooked generation.”
Deut 32:5
This has been an ongoing situation, beginning in early Old Testament times and going on to this very day, as is documented in detail in my new book, Jewish Chronicles, which is scheduled for release in this year. But this situation, of Jewish rejection of God and often of ALL authority is going to change.
Moses Law says the Jews will change to walk in righteousness and peace
One of the key issues is circumcision, not of the flesh, but of the heart. Further one of the Jews key problems has been uncircumcision of the heart. Circumcision started with Abraham and his descendants, but Moses made it plain that circumcision was symbolic, and the key circumcision was of the heart. As Moses said it,
“Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.”
Deut 10:16
However, they did not change any time soon, so the prophet Jeremiah said,
“… for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart. ”
Jer 9:26
In Malachi’s days the Jews were still stubborn and unspiritual as a group, Mal 3:5-6. Then when Stephen preached the history of the Jews before the Sanhedrin in Acts 7, he summarized it this way.
“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.”
Acts 7:51
But one day all of this will change.
“Yahweh your God WILL circumcise your heart, and the heart of your seed, to love Yahweh your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, that you may live. ”
Deut 30:6 (emphasis added)
This is NOT man saying this. This is GOD saying this, and saying that HE is the one who will circumcise the hearts of the Jews, and their seed! That is to say He will circumcise the descendants of the Jews at that time! Also this is NOT a conditional promise, but a statement of what GOD will do!
This will be after the Jews humble their uncircumcised hearts, and accept the punishment for their sins, Lev 26:41, 43, etc.; and they will become the head of the nations, Deut 28:13.
Scripture cannot be broken, Jesus says in Jn 10:35.
Jesus puts it another way in what many call the Sermon on the Mount.
“For most assuredly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.”
Mtt 5:18
There are many other proofs from the Old Testament, but this is a key one. This surely has not been accomplished YET! But it will! Or did you not really believe God?
