What is the Gospel?
Posted under: Awesome Video from 119 Ministries. Have you ever had questions about the Mystery Paul is talking about? Have you ever wanted to know what all this talk is about Two Houses? This video series is a great place to start.

Have you really heard the WHOLE gospel? What is the Gospel? There are many responses you will get if you randomly ask this question. The popular Christian definition of the gospel is the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. Then, there is the gospel of the kingdom which John the Baptist and Christ himself preached. Also the book of Revelation refers to the end-time preaching of the eternal gospel. What are these gospels, and what are the similarities and differences between them? And Paul speaks of the mystery of the gospel…which the majority today still do not understand…These and other questions will be answered in this study.
Part 1
I am confused about something and hope you can help. I get the whole idea of how Yeshua restored the gentile Israelites. I get the whole northern kingdom / southern kingdom idea. But I am confused about Romans 11:25. If Yeshua came to save the Israelities, why does this verse say what it says? I am confused. Thanks.
I would understand that ‘Israel’ in that context refers to both houses, but most specifically to the House of Judah. Rav Shaul connects ‘Israel’ in v. 26 with Jacob (all Israel), but it seems clear in 28 & 29 that Judah (the Jews) are in view as those enemies of the Gospel that Rav Shaul was preaching.
Therefore, in context, we see a partial hardening of Judah which leads to two things… A broader reach of the Gospel to cultures and places where some of the ten tribes had already gone (i.e., Northern Europe, deep parts of Africa, East Asia, etc) that were not readily accessible for a short return, and the extended timeframe allows for the 2730 year exile of the House of Israel to be fulfilled. (Ez. 4:4 in light of Lev. 26:18)
That is what makes sense to me.
Shalom.
