John 3:16 is the most misunderstood, twisted and taken out of its context verse in the Bible that got BILLIONS believing stuff that ain’t so!!!

JOHN 3

Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

9 Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?” 10 Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things? 11 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you do not receive our testimony. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.

16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”

22 After this Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside, and he remained there with them and was baptizing. 23 John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and people were coming and being baptized 24 (for John had not yet been put in prison).

25 Now a discussion arose between some of John's disciples and a Jew over purification. 26 And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you across the Jordan, to whom you bore witness—look, he is baptizing, and all are going to him.” 27 John answered, “A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given him from heaven. 28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him.’ 29 The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete. 30 He must increase, but I must decrease.”

31 He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks in an earthly way. He who comes from heaven is above all. 32 He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives his testimony. 33 Whoever receives his testimony sets his seal to this, that God is true. 34 For he whom God has sent utters the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure. 35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. 36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

YHWH over and over says He is the God of Israel, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; and that He loves Israel exclusively as the apple of His eye!

YHWH EXCLUSIVELY LOVES ISRAEL

https://tueseahkiong.blogspot.com/2021/03/the-lord-loves-israel-god-loves-israel.html?m=1

Did YHWH change His mind about who He loves in the New Testament!!!???

Ask yourself who or what world did YHWH love in the OT???

So who is the world in john 3:16?

is it still the covenant world of Israel or the whole world including English, Koreans, Hawaiians…?

It’s really that simple if you study the whole Bible?

Who does the God of the Bible say that He loves?

Does the God of Israel ever say that He loves the Romans, Egyptians, Babylonians… where He makes a covenant with that people?

Who was promised the messiah to save them? Japanese, Indians, Vikings…? Nope. Israel.

Who was the NEW covenant made with? Not you! Judah & Israel

https://tueseahkiong.blogspot.com/2017/09/the-new-covenant-who-was-is-it-for-by.html?m=1

Israel was exclusively promised The Messiah/ The Anointed One to save them from their sin.

One can only Biblically sin, if one is under the law.

Only Israel was under the covenant law of God!

John 3:16 in context begins at verse 1 with Nicodemus a LEADER and TEACHER of ISRAEL coming to Yeshua at night to chop it up.

-Since Nicodemus is a teacher of Israel, is he confused that Yeshua is suppose to now save Tongans, Eskimos, Russians…?

Nicodemus acknowledges Yeshua’s miraculous signs confirmed that He is from YHWH, the God of Israel.

-is Christ the promised Messiah to Israel that would be like Moses who led Israel? Yep!

Yeshua scolds Nicodemus for not knowing scripture on needing to be born again.

Who needed to be BORN AGAIN and WHY?

Only those who were first ALIVE to YHWH, then DIED. And that was only Israel. because they were the only people under the covenant law of YHWH!

How do Australians, Scotts, Nicaraguans… get place under the law of God of the Bible?

Answer: They do NOT!

This is where YHWH retells making Israel ALIVE to Him via COVENANT LAW.

Ezekiel 16:1-15
Again the word of the Lord came to me:2 “Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations, 3 and say, Thus says the Lord God to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth are of the land of the Canaanites; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.4 And as for your birth, on the day you were born your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water to cleanse you, nor rubbed with salt, nor wrapped in swaddling cloths.5 No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you out of compassion for you, but you were cast out on the open field, for you were abhorred, on the day that you were born.

6 “‘Then I passed by and saw you kicking about in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, “Live!” 7 I made you grow like a plant of the field. You grew and developed and entered puberty. Your breasts had formed and your hair had grown, yet you were stark naked.

8 “‘Later I passed by, and when I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for love, I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your naked body. I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a COVENANT with you, declares the Sovereign Lord, and you became mine.

9 “‘I bathed you with water and washed the blood from you and put ointments on you. 10 I clothed you with an embroidered dress and put sandals of fine leather on you. I dressed you in fine linen and covered you with costly garments. 11 I adorned you with jewelry: I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck, 12 and I put a ring on your nose,earrings on your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. 13 So you were adorned with gold and silver; your clothes were of fine linen and costly fabric and embroidered cloth. Your food was honey, olive oil and the finest flour. You became very beautiful and rose to be a queen.14 And your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, because the splendor I had given you made your beauty perfect, declares the Sovereign Lord.

15 “‘But you trusted in your beauty and used your fame to become a prostitute. You lavished your favors on anyone who passed byand your beauty became his.

GOD makes a covenant with Israel only. Israel becomes an unfaithful sinning whore and essentially dies!

Psalm 147:19-20

HE HAS REVEALED HIS WORD TO JACOB,
HIS LAWS AND DECREES TO ISRAEL.
HE HAS DONE THIS FOR NO OTHER NATION; THEY DO NOT KNOW HIS LAWS. Praise the Lord!

***Who ONLY had YHWH’s LAWS and DECREES?

Israel.

Therefore, you reading this are not under the Mosaic Covenant Law!

AMOS 3:1 Hear this word that the Lord has spoken against you, O PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, against the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt:

2 “YOU ONLY HAVE I KNOWN OF ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH;
therefore I will punish YOU for all your iniquities.

***Who does YHWH say that He ONLY KNOWS of all the families of the earth?

Israel!

The word "know" is used as a euphemism for sex and intercourse: Adam knew his wife Eve and she became pregnant ( Gen 4:1 ). Women who have "known" a man are no longer virgins ( Numbers 31:17 Numbers 31:35 ).In his declining days David had an attractive attendant who served him but did not have sexual relationships with him ( 1 Kings 1:4 ). Even sexual perversions such as sodomy ( Gen 19:5 ; Judges 19:22 ) and rape ( Judges 19:25 )are designated by the word "know."

Romans 9:4 THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL. THEIRS IS THE ADOPTION TO SONSHIP; THEIRS THE DIVINE GLORY, THE COVENANTS, THE RECEIVING OF THE LAW, THE TEMPLE WORSHIP AND THE PROMISES.

**Who gets the adoption to sonship? Who is given the covenants? Who received The Law? Who could worship in the temple? Who were given YHWH’s promises?

Galatians 4:4-5 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, BORN UNDER THE LAW, 5 SO THAT HE MIGHT REDEEM THOSE WHO WERE UNDER THE LAW, THAT WE MIGHT RECEIVE THE ADOPTION AS SONS.

***Christ was born under the law. Who was under THE LAW? ISRAEL. Who gets adopted? Sun cut-off scattered Israel.

1 Corinthians 15:56

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is THE LAW

Many “Christians” claim that every human being is under THE LAW of the GOD of the BIBLE aka the God of Israel, yet cannot support it with Scripture. Therefore the honest just fair loving holy God of the Bible sends everyone who has never heard the name of Yeshua or believed in His Gospel to a fake place called HELL where they are tortured punished and burned for eternity! Such a loving God!

Hell No! It’s Gehenna (There is NO HELL! All made up!)

https://steemit.com/hell/@tuese/hell-no-it-s-gehenna-by-tuese-ahkiong

Does this sound like dead Israelis under the law need a (resurrection) and to be made alive to their Maker again!?

Only Israel was dead to God because of breaking covenant law that only they were under and therefore only they needed to be born again!

Yeshua likens Israel’s salvation to when Moses lifted up the snake in the desert to heal the bitten and poisoned Israelites that looked to it.

So, too, the Israelites that would look and believe upon Christ lifted up, killed for their sin, would be saved and given eternal life.

The context is Israel’s salvation. In 3:16 the “world” is still the covenant world of Israel that YHWH loves as the apple of His eye. Nothing has changed from OT to NT, where YHWH now starts loving on Samoans, Chinese, Mexicans... lol

Do you really believe Nicodemus, a leader and teacher of Israel and Rabbi Yeshua from The God of Israel are no longer speaking of the covenant world of Israel, but now to Filipinos, Italians, Brazilians…?

Only Israel was under the covenant law of YHWH and broke that law.

Israel was under a curse and condemned for breaking THE LAW of God!!! v17-21

You reading this article have never been under THE LAW OF YHWH! Sorry for The Truth to hurt your feelings, but the Bible is NOT your story!!!

Only Israel needed to be saved because they broke covenant and sinned.

The elect remnant of Israel were saved. That’s why the Bible ends with ONLY the 144,000 from the 12 tribes of the sons of ISRAEL redeemed/ saved at the end of the story in Revelation! Only these 144,000 Israelis could sing the new song and no one else! If the Bible is about the whole WORLD getting saved, why aren’t Iranians, Thai, Colombians not included as THE REDEEMED!!!??

The 144,000 REDEEMED were The 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL https://tueseahkiong.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-144000-firstfruits-for-god-and-lamb.html?m=1

*** If The Gospel of The Kingdom is for the entire world, then why does Yeshua tell His Apostles that they will judge the 12 Tribes of Israel in the new world???

So, the 12 Tribes represent all of Israel which was divided in the OT and when the NT begins. The Gospel is the double edge sword that divides sheep from goat, saints from aints, the elect remnant of Israel from non-elect, and brings the divided kingdom back to one!

The Gospel of The Kingdom was for bringing ALL ISRAEL back together and went throughout the world where israel was scattered in the nations.

When did The 12 Apostles judge Israel?

When they preached the double edge sword of The Gospel!

Matthew 19:28
Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, in THE NEW WORLD, when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of ISRAEL.

Luke 22:28-30

28 “You are those who have stayed with me in my trials, 29 and I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom, 30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of ISRAEL.

1 COR 6:2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to form the smallest law courts?

Amazing how wannabe “Christians” (people who think they are Christians when they are not) throughout the centuries have messed up the interpretation of this verse by inserting themselves into the story because they do not know the whole Bible context is about God’s covenant with Israel!!!! Smh. The Bible is Israel-centric! One can only see this if they read through the entire Bible!
