Why were the Jews feasting at the Lord's table according to Romans 2?
Romans 2 describes Israel’s unique place of privilege: they had the Word of God and their covenant position, so they feasted at the Lord’s table. Gentiles did not enjoy that table while God was dealing with Israel. Paul later says their advantage was much every way.
Les teaches that the table means Israel’s place of privilege, which only Israel could enjoy. They literally feasted at the Lord’s table because they had the Word of God, and Romans 2 indicates this was because of their covenant position. Gentiles were never feasting at the Lord’s table when God was dealing with Israel; today we are in that place of privilege, but back then it was only the Jew. Les then points to Romans 3, where Paul asks what advantage the Jew had, and answers: much, every way. Israel had the temple, priesthood, sacrifices, prescribed approach to Jehovah, the land deeded to Abraham, the miracles of the Red Sea, manna, and tables of stone—everything going for them. The transcript asks what their chief blessing was without supplying the answer.
