In reminiscing over years past, the thought comes to mind that God's Hand left its mark so many times in our life together. I would like to share some of these incidents, first of all with my loving family and with my dearest friends and Christian brothers and sisters, and then with anyone else who may read these lines.
"Here is another work in a series by Dr. D. A. Waite on books of the Bible. This treatise on 2 Peter and Jude cuts through the misunderstanding of critical biblical doctrines, like all of his other books; and presents in easy to understand language, very important teachings such as: What causes a believer to be unfruitful, how to keep from falling, geocentricity, the origin of God's Words, what these books say about preservation of God's Words, heresies, sodomites, the destruction of death by Christ, and many other important and significant doctrinal issues. Dr. Waite's books have sold by the thousands. Why not pick up a copy and see why?" H. D. Williams, President, The Old Paths Publications.
One kind of justification is from the pen of the Apostle Paul (justification before God). The other kind is from the pen of the Book of James (justification before other people). Through the years, there has been much confusion and misunderstanding because of these differences.
The author feels that this is a very important subject for not only concerned Christians but for all secular humans living today. Tracing the menaces facing the Jews and Israel today in the Introduction, an interesting ancient history of Israel is given in chapter 1. From Abraham to Moses, from the giving of the everlasting Abrahamic Covenant to the giving of the Law and the plan for the Tabernacle to Moses, The Jews and Israel come alive by the blessing of God as His Chosen people. Chapters 2, 3, and 4 are an exposition of Romans 9, 10, and 11. Romans chapter 9 covers God's dealings with Israel in its past and how they have been brought into the light. God shows His choice of the Jews as his people, His wrath upon them for their disobedience, and his reaching out to them with salvation. In Romans chapter 10 Paul brings to the Jews their lost condition and that the remnant will hear the Gospel and turn to Christ while the rest of Israel will remain blinded. Chapter 11 of Romans reassures the Jews that God will always be there for them, but they will have to be provoked to jealousy seeing that salvation has come to the Gentiles. God has not forever cast off his people and one day all Israel will be saved. Chapter 5 looks at supersessionism and antisemitism. Supersessionism, or Replacement Theology says that the Covenants, Promises, and Prophesies given to Israel are now embodied in the Church, which has supplanted Israel as God's Chosen people. Supersessionism is shown to be the root of antisemitism and today's hatred of the Jews.
