What does Paul teach believers about caring for Jews?
Paul teaches that believers must have a concern for the carnal or fleshly needs of the Jew, even today. Such practical care for Jewish people opposes anti-Semitism. This instruction rests on God's sovereign preservation of Israel as a nation in unbelief so prophecy concerning the 144,000 and Jeremiah 31 can be fulfilled.
Les explains that Paul is talking about believers having concern for the carnal or fleshly needs of the Jew even today. This concern flies in the face of the anti-Semitism rising again around the world. Les connects this to God's sovereign eagle-eye oversight of Israel: the nation must stay intact in unbelief, because there must be Jews left to fulfill prophecy, including the seven years of tribulation, the 144,000 from the twelve tribes, and Jeremiah 31's assurance that Israel will not cease being a nation. Because God preserves them, believers should care for their practical needs.
