Hebrew Roots advocate asked: “Why was Yahusha [Jesus Christ] sent only to the lost sheep of Israel[?]” (Matthew 15:24).

Christian response,

Jesus was sent to the lost sheep of Israel as their Messiah promised in Genesis 3:15 and articulated in Genesis 12:3, exclaimed by Moses in Deuteronomy 18:15 as well as Messiah’s first Advent is articulated throughout the prophets and the psalms (approximately 356-Messianic prophecies) as Israel was to be a blessing to all the families of the Earth (Genesis 12:3); unfortunately, the children of Israel rejected their Messiah, had Him viciously scourged and ultimately murdered Him upon a tree outside the Old City of Jerusalem and demanded that His blood be upon them and their children (Matthew 27:25); therefore, God the Father’s purposes for Israel as a blessing to the World via the Gospel of Yeshua was thwarted by Israel’s stubbornness and unfaithfulness; therefore, a partial hardening and blindness (veil) has manifest among the Jewish-Israeli people and they are currently under judgment (2 Corinthians 3; Romans 10), so much so, that only a remnant of the children of Israel will escape the “second death” in Hell (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27).

God the Father will complete His eschatological prophecies concerning Israel but they have failed God and become a stubborn and stiff-necked people (Exodus 32:9; Deuteronomy 9:13) who blaspheme Yeshua while the Israeli people are dying in their sin every second as they make a futile attempt to find righteousness and atonement in a Law that only condemns them (Romans 3:20; Romans 10).

God, who does not lie, has reestablished the Nation of Israel (1948) and given the Old City to the Jews as their Capital (1967; 2017) and an anointed remnant of Israel (12,000 from each Tribe) will be saved through the Tribulation period and enter into the Millennial Reign of Messiah as Jesus reigns over the Nations for 1000-years, but Israel has offended my Lord and the cost in lost and damned souls is incalculable.
