Testimony of Brother Ben Howard
In the Book of Romans 11:27-31, it says, "For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. (That was to the Jews.) As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they (the Jewish people) are beloved for the fathers' sake. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy." In other words, what they brought to us, we're giving it right back to them. And by our mercy they receive mercy (just like we received of their mercy). So as God ordained, here is a message that reaches out and makes them part of the wife of the Lamb to take them up in the rapture. And the remainder of the Jews will get the chance to hear the two prophets of Revelation, Chapter 11, at the beginning of the 70th Week of Daniel or the 144,000 Jews that preach the everlasting gospel starting at the middle of the week.
Verse 32, "For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all." In other words, He makes no difference in Jews and Gentiles when it comes to this gospel of Christ as far as being part of the wife of the Lamb. He's saying, all of us were in trouble, Jews and Gentiles alike. God concluded us all in unbelief. Verse 33, "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God. How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out." In other words, who would have known God would do it this way, that God would strike a man named Paul down and say, "Go to the Gentiles"? And who could know that in this last day that God would raise up a people called the wife of the Lamb that is seen in Ephesians 4:13-16 and say unto this body, "Take this gospel back to the Jews from whence it began." For it has reached its fullness in the wife of the Lamb!
