The Kinsman Redeemer

In order for Jesus to be a kinsman redeemer, he had to be kin to those he was to redeem. There must be a connecting blood line between Jesus and the kinsmen he was to be the redeemer of. If God only used Mary as an incubator, as some teach, by creating or planting the egg in her and fertilizing the egg Himself, then there is no bloodline connection between Jesus and Mary and consequently no bloodline between Jesus and the Israeli tribe that Mary evolved from.

The angel that visited Mary not only told her that the child she was going to bear was going to be the Son of God, but he said that the child would also be the son of David and He would inherit the throne of His father David. There is no way that Jesus could inherit the throne of His father David unless there was a bloodline connection between Jesus and David.

But there was a bloodline connection because God did not create the egg in Mary and there is nothing in Bible scripture that even insinuates that was the case. Jesus was conceived by God fertilizing the egg that was already in Mary, one of the eggs that is normally produced on a regular basis in a woman. That egg that became the baby Jesus was the bloodline connection back to King David which made Jesus the son of David and the kinsman connection to all the Israelites. So Jesus was a kinsman redeemer to the Israelites and the Israelites only because there existed no bloodline connection between the people of the Nation of Israel and the Gentile people.

In fact Jesus believed that He was sent by God to provide salvation to only the Israeli people and not to any other Gentile Nation. In Matthew 15:24 when the Canaanite woman asked Jesus for help, he told her that He was only sent for the people of Israel and would not take what was for them and give it to other people of another Nation. In fact, Jesus referred to her as a dog because the Israeli people looked on other Nations as heathens. When Jesus sent His disciples out to preach the Gospel, as is recorded in Matthew 10:5 and 10:6, He told them to only go to the people of Israel and not to the Samaritans or the Gentiles.

What is astonishing is that the scriptures speak of Jesus by the Prophet Isaiah that the Messiah would be a light to the Gentiles, which in time it would come to pass, but this must have been hidden in some way for Jesus to acknowledge it during His Earthly ministry. Oh you say that nothing could be hidden from Jesus because He was God? Well the scriptures tell us that at least one other thing was hidden from Him. When His disciples asked Him about when He would return and when the end of the World would be, Jesus told them that neither He nor the angels knew, only the Father knew what the appointed time would be. (Matthew 24:36)

An important thing to see in the scripture is that Jesus could only do and say what the Father had revealed to Him. Jesus said: “I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.” It should be obvious if you don’t close your eyes to what the scriptures say that Jesus also knew only what the Father told Him. Everyone can quote as many times as they like what was said by a certain preacher that: “Jesus of the New Testament is Jehovah of the Old Testament” and that “the name of God is the Lord Jesus Christ”, but it is not true according to a preponderance of Bible scripture.

Even after Jesus had ascended into Heaven and the Apostles started preaching the Gospel, they went only to the Jews and not to the Gentiles. (Acts 11:19) It wasn’t until Peter was sent to the house of Cornelius: and Paul was called to preach to the Gentiles, was the Gospel given to them. (Acts chapter 9 and 10) One could suppose that after Jesus was glorified and returned to the Father, it became know to Him that the Gospel was for the Gentile Nations also. Paul spoke about this in Ephesians chapter three, that the mystery which had been hidden from the beginning about the Gentiles receiving the Gospel and becoming fellow heirs with the Jews. So it’s obvious that the inclusion of the Gentiles in the plan of salvation was hidden by God from everyone including Jesus until God the Father was ready to reveal it.

The plain fact is, according to the scriptures and not according to some false preacher, is that the Lord’s Apostles took the Gospel to only the Jews. They did this because this was the way Jesus taught them and by example and the way He performed His ministry. The Apostles selected Matthias to replace Judas as the twelfth apostle just added one more person who would have preached to the Jews only. That is just the reason that Jesus returned to call Paul on the road to Damascus because He needed His twelfth Apostle to take the Gospel to the Gentile Nations after the Father revealed this hidden mystery to Him.

To form one’s own opinion that Jesus was God the Father by misinterpreting the Bible and then trying to make all the other scriptures support this premise is exactly what occurs when a false teacher, someone who has not been ordained to teach scripture, mishandles God’s Word.
