Adam
was still the corporate head of humanity.
Romans 5:18-21
ECB 18 Thus as
through one downfall all humanity is unto condemnation; even thus
through one justification all humanity is unto justification of
life. 19 For exactly
as through the disobedience of one human many were seated sinners,
thus through the obedience of one many are seated
just. 20 And the
torah entered surreptitiously, so that the downfall superabound:
and where sin superabounded, charism exceedingly
superabounded: 21 so that
exactly as sin reigned in death, even thus charism reigns through
justness unto eternal life through Yah Shua Messiah our
Adonay.

When Jesus was in the old covenant he made the
legalists back off while cultivating His law inside the woman's
heart.
John 8:1-11
YLT 1 And at dawn he
came again to the temple, 2 and all the
people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching
them; 3 and the scribes
and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in
adultery, and having set her in the midst, 4 they say to him,
`Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime—committing
adultery, 5 and in the law,
Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what
dost thou say?' 6 and this they
said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus,
having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the
ground, 7 and when they
continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them,
`The sinless of you—let him first cast the stone at
her;' 8 and again having
stooped down, he was writing on the ground, 9 and they having
heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one
by one, having begun from the elders—unto the last; and Jesus was
left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 And Jesus
having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman,
said to her, `Woman, where are those—thine accusers? did no one
pass sentence upon thee?' 11 and she said,
`No one, Sir;' and Jesus said to her, `Neither do I pass sentence
on thee; be going on, and no more sin.'
Put under the law, those already dead in the family of
Adam committed many more personal offences. They were kept covered
by that same law, with the animal sacrifices.
Romans 5:16-21
LITV 16 And the gift shall not be as by one having
sinned; for indeed the judgment was of one to condemnation, but the
free gift is of many offenses to
justification. 17 For if by the offense of the one death
reigned through the one, much more those who are receiving the
abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall rule in life
by the One, Jesus Christ. 18 So then, as through one offense it was
toward all men to condemnation, so also by one accomplished
righteousness toward all men to justification of
life. 19 For as through the one man's disobedience
the many were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of
the One the many shall be constituted
righteous. 20 But Law came in beside, that the offense might
abound.
But where sin
abounded, grace much more abounded, 21 that as sin ruled in death, so also grace
might rule through righteousness to everlasting life, through Jesus
Christ our Lord.
Jesus was raised out of the dead ones twice. Once in
the old and once into the new creation.
Romans 1:4

our Lord;
He was raised under O.C.law to gain the Holy Spirit's
presence for the humanity he would spiritually die for, in order to
set them free from the law.

behold, the the heavens open to him, and he sees the Spirit of
Elohim descending, as a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 and behold,

whom I well-approve.
Jesus took on the law and was baptized with water
before He gained the Holy Spirit presence for His people. Then He
ministered to them for three and a half years. Now we are gifted
with the same Holy Spirit presence, who starts working from the
inside out, before we are baptized in water.
John 1:32-33 (Jesus was
marked out under law by the Spirit of holiness.)
YLT 32 And John
testified, saying—`I have seen the Spirit coming down, as a dove,
out of heaven, and it remained on him; 33 and I did not
know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me,
On whomsoever thou mayest see the Spirit coming down, and
remaining on him, this is he who is baptizing with the
Holy Spirit;

The Jews weren't truly circumcised until Yeshua sent
the Holy Spirit to the 12 tribes gathered on Pentecost. Why did He
send the Spirit on the Hebrew nation's betrothal
holiday?
Jeremiah 9:24-26 (A renewed marriage covenant is the
answer:)
Brenton 24 but
let him that boasts boast in this, the understanding and knowing
that I am the Lord that exercise mercy, and judgment, and
righteousness, upon the earth; for in these things is my pleasure,
saith the Lord. 25 Behold,
the days come, saith the Lord, when I will visit upon all the
circumcised their uncircumcision; 26 on
Egypt, and on Idumea, and on Edom, and on the children of Ammon,
and on the children of Moab, and on every one that shaves his face
round about, even them that dwell in the
wilderness; for all the Gentiles are uncircumcised in
flesh, and all the house of Israel are
uncircumcised in their
hearts.
Jesus died to set the nation free to remarry a better
husbandman;
in contrast to the 'law keepers' who were willing to
sacrifice their wives for any infraction (for a new one to the same
old hard hearted husband).
Matthew 19:8
JuliaSmith 8 He
says to them that Moses for your hard heart
permitted you to loose your wives: and from the beginning it was
not so.
Jeremiah 4:4
Brenton 4 Circumcise
yourselves to your God, and circumcise your hardness of
heart, ye men of Juda, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest
my wrath go forth as fire, and burn, and there be none to quench
it, because of the evil of your devices.

Romans 2:29
LITV 29 but he is a
Jew that is one inwardly, and circumcision is of
heart, in spirit, not in letter; of whom the praise is not
from men, but from God.
The new husbandman is the new heart of flesh. The old
heart of Israel was fallen Adam which led to the law written on
stone.
Ezekiel 36:26
YLT 26 And I have
given to you a new heart, And a new spirit I give in your midst,
And I have turned aside the heart of stone out of your flesh, And I
have given to you a heart of flesh.
Being
in the transition generation, Paul reached out to the Jews who were
still under old covenant law. Paul also gave the gospel to the
Gentiles who were not under old covenant law.
1 Corinthians 9:18-21 Paul was not hard hearted any more.
LITV 18 What
then is my reward? That announcing the gospel I may make the gospel
of Christ free, so as not to use fully my authority in the
gospel. 19 For
being free of all, I enslaved myself to all, that I might gain the
more. 20 And
I became as a Jew to the Jews, that I might gain Jews; to those
under Law as under Law, that I might gain those under
Law; 21 to
those without Law as without Law (not being without law of
God, but under the law of Christ), that I might gain those
without Law.
Galatians 6 The law of Christ doesn't demand outward
conformity.
LITV 1 Brothers,
if a man is taken in some fault, you, the spiritual ones, restore
such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering yourself, that
you not also be tempted. 2 Bear one
another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of
Christ. 3 For if
anyone thinks to be something, he deceives himself, being
nothing. 4 But let
each one prove his work, and then he alone will have a boast in
himself and not as to another. 5 For
each one will bear his own load. 6 But
let the one being taught in the word share with the one teaching,
in all good things. 7 Do not be
deceived, God is not mocked. For whatever a man may sow, that he
also will reap. 8 For
the one sowing to his flesh will reap corruption of the
flesh. But the one sowing to the Spirit will reap
everlasting life from the Spirit. 9 But we
should not weaken in doing good, for in due time we shall reap, if
we do not faint. 10 So then,
as we have time, let us work good toward all, and especially toward
the household of the faith.11 See in
what large letters I write to you with my hand. 12 As many
as desire to look well in the flesh, these compel you to be
circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of
Christ. 13 For
they themselves having been circumcised do not even keep the Law,
but they desire you to be circumcised so that they may boast in
your flesh.14 But may
it never be for me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to
the world. 15 For in
Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any strength nor
uncircumcision, but a new creation. 16 And as
many as shall walk by this rule, peace and mercy
be on them and on the Israel of God. 17 For the
rest, let no one give troubles to me, for I bear in my body the
brands of the Lord Jesus. 18 The
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers.
Amen.

1 Corinthians 15:51-58
ALT 51 Listen!
I tell you(p) a secret: We indeed will not all
sleep [fig., die], but we will all be changed [or, be
transformed], 52 in
a moment, in a blinking of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it will
sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible [or,
imperishable], and we will be changed [or,
transformed]! 53 For
it is necessary [for] this corruptible to put on
incorruption, and this mortal to put on
immortality. 54 Now
when this corruptible shall put on incorruption, and this mortal
shall put on immortality, then will happen the word, the one having
been written, "Death was swallowed up into victory." [Isaiah
25:8] 55 "O
Death, where [is] your sting? O realm of the
dead [Gr., hades], where [is] your
victory?" [Hosea 13:14] 56 Now
the sting of death [is] sin, but the power of
sin [is] the Law. 57 But
thanks [be] to God, the One giving us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ! 58 So
then, my beloved brothers [and sisters], continue becoming
steadfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all
times, knowing that your(p) labor is not empty [fig., not
without results] in [the] Lord.
Many people are waiting for all of Israel to get
saved.
Romans 11:25-26

to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles comes
in. 26 And so all

Israel’s present hardening has
a purpose in God’s plan, but this hardening is not permanent. The
future restoration of the nation of Israel will involve their
re-grafting into the olive tree, the one people of God. The
restoration of Israel will mean their becoming part of the “true
Israel” by faith in Jesus Christ the Messiah.
According to Mr
Mathison "all Israel" will not necessarily include every individual
that has ethnicity. I am not even sure what that means. Israel was
always and still is a melting pot. For sure, not everyone in the
old covenant had Abrahamic genes. But we will evidently get enough
nationalists believing in their Messiah in order to graft the
locational Israel back into the Olive tree. I assume the
unbelievers on location will not be part of the true Israel; that
is the one body of Christ.
Vise Versa
Could it be that the
hardened part of old covenant Israel (impiety) was removed from the
one body in AD 70 and now the covenant with Yahwey contains
believers only? All Israel is saved in the new covenant. None are
lost.
