the House of Judah’s OBLIGATION to guide the ten tribes (the House of
Israel) back to God.
Zechariah 8:23
23 This is what
the LORD says, In those days, ten men, speaking all the languages of the
nations, will take hold of the hem on the garment of a Jew and
say, We will go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.
Rabbi Yitzchak
Ginsburgh, in his booklet The Seven Principles of Divine Service for
Righteous Gentiles, writes:
Our generation is
the first since the dispersion of the Jewish people in which the Jew is able
(and therefore obligated) to reach out to the non-Jew.
If you are a
Gentile (Noahide) who has no desire to obey the laws any further than
the seven noahide laws, you are fine. God will honor your reverence to Him and
your loving kindness to others. Be a supporter of Israel and Judah and God will
honor that support.
That was the original intent for those
Gentiles who were joined to followers of "the Way" (later to become known as
Christians).
Rabbi Jacob Emden
(1697-1776) wrote about Christianity 300 years ago, and says:
You members of
the Christian faith, how good and pleasant it might be if you will observe
that which was commanded to you by your first teachers; how wonderful is
your share if you will assist the Jews in the observance of their Torah. You
will truly receive reward as if you had fulfilled it yourselves - for the
one who helps others to observe is greater than the one who observes but
does not help others to do so - even though you only observe the Seven
Commandments.
