Israel Moment #36 - Today's Jews Are Uncircumcised in Heart
-
Hello this is Pastor Steven Anderson from Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona. Today I want to talk about Jeremiah chapter 9 verses 25-26 where the Bible reads "Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will punish all them which are circumcised WITH the uncircumcised. Egypt and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness. For all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised IN THE HEART." So here the Bible is saying that the uncircumcised will be punished with the circumcised, because the fact that an Israelite is circumcised (physically) is meaningless to God, since they are uncircumcised of heart. This is reiterated of course in Romans 2:28 and 29 in the New Testament, when the Bible says "For he is not a Jew which is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew which is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the HEART, in the spirit and not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God." That's exactly what Jeremiah 9 meant, when it said that the house of Israel were all uncircumcised in their HEART.

Here we have it again in Romans 2:28 and 29. You say "well if they're not really Jews, then why do you keep calling them Jews?" Well, it says a little bit earlier in the chapter "Behold, thou art called a Jew", and it does say that they are Jews OUTWARDLY. That's why we call them Jews because they are outwardly Jews. But inwardly they're not, and therefore God does not recognize them as being the circumcision, as being His people, as being true Jews. Philippians 3:3 of course makes it clear when it says "we are the circumcision which worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh." That's what circumcision of the heart means in the New Testament. You have to rejoice in Christ Jesus, you have to have NO confidence in the flesh. Jeremiah 9 made it clear that the house of Israel was uncircumcised in heart, and would suffer the same fate as those who were physically uncircumcised. So the fact that today's so-called "Jews" are circumcised physically means NOTHING to God. They're not His people. In the Old Covenant, if you didn't have the physical circumcision, you're not one of God's people. But God takes it a step further and says "if your hearts not circumcised, you're not one of my people." Therefore, all of those Jews today that do not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, 99% of people who call themselves "Jews", they're not God's people, because they're uncircumcised IN HEART.
