Two Houses of Israel, salvation: Do you believe that Gods primary purpose is the salvation of all Israel, or individual persons?
There are some who teach about the Two Houses who place the salvation of all Israel at such a level as if personal salvation does not even matter. While it is very true that a major emphasis of Holy Scripture is the national salvation of all Israel, nothing is more important than personal salvation. If one has not experienced salvation and redemption in Yeshua on a personal level first, then there can be no hope of that person being part of a collective salvation of all the redeemed who compose Gods people of Israel. Paul wrote the Ephesian Believers, remember that you were at that time separate from Messiah, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world (Ephesians 2:12). Paul writes that these Believers were alienated (RSV) from Israel prior to their faith. The Scripture continues, stating, But now in Messiah Yeshua you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Messiah (Ephesians
