#9) Israel's "Gentile" Condition (The Jew/Gentile Distinction WITHIN Israel's Covenant World)

Exactly who are the “gentiles”…as defined by the Bible?

That may seem like an obvious, almost silly question.

I mean…everyone knows what a “gentile” is right?

It’s practically common language for the Christian…to speak of “Jews and Gentiles”.

And the common assumption?

Jews are of Israel.

Gentiles are not.

While there is truth in this, it is only a tiny piece of the puzzle….a miniscule fraction of the biblical story.
