I think the bible says otherwise.
Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it on the islands from afar, and say, "He Who scattered Israel will gather them together and watch them as a shepherd his flock."
Jeremiah 31:9

Where does it say to the Jewish people, I will cut you off for two thousand years?
Deadpan Snarker
Let me ask you a question.
Do you think that God is done with the Jewish people?
Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it on the islands from afar, and say, "He Who scattered Israel will gather them together and watch them as a shepherd his flock."
Jeremiah 31:9
Coffee Break
No, I know God isn't.
Deadpan Snarker
OK, so we're in agreement.
Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it on the islands from afar, and say, "He Who scattered Israel will gather them together and watch them as a shepherd his flock."
Jeremiah 31:9
Coffee Break
While God isn't done with Israel there is many Jews that have died never knowing God.
Deadpan Snarker
Yes, there are many Jews who are non-religious.
Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it on the islands from afar, and say, "He Who scattered Israel will gather them together and watch them as a shepherd his flock."
Jeremiah 31:9

The Muslims are religious, so how does that relate to knowing God?
Deadpan Snarker
God only knows.
Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it on the islands from afar, and say, "He Who scattered Israel will gather them together and watch them as a shepherd his flock."
Jeremiah 31:9

The problem is it doesn't relate to knowing God. God had a method of worship for Israel which Israel no longer follows.
Deadpan Snarker
Or do they...?
Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it on the islands from afar, and say, "He Who scattered Israel will gather them together and watch them as a shepherd his flock."
Jeremiah 31:9

It clearly requires a Temple and priest.Or do they...?
Deadpan Snarker
Hmm really? What happened between 586BC and 516BC?
Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it on the islands from afar, and say, "He Who scattered Israel will gather them together and watch them as a shepherd his flock."
Jeremiah 31:9
I live here!
But that is only 70 yrs, isn't it, and not thousands of years. And didn't that soon get resolved thereafter? So why would it be taking God so long this next time around, as in from when the temple was destroyed in 70 AD? Could it be that it has already been resolved? The NT seems to think so.
Deadpan Snarker
So what? Given that people only lived about 30 years at the time, it meant several entire generations lived and died with no temple, no sacrifice, no priests...
How is that any different from the generations after 70? It isn't.
I don't pretend to understand why God does things.So why would it be taking God so long this next time around, as in from when the temple was destroyed in 70 AD?
The NT has it's rationale. Jews understand things differently. Everything will be resolved in the end I guess.Could it be that it has already been resolved? The NT seems to think so.
Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it on the islands from afar, and say, "He Who scattered Israel will gather them together and watch them as a shepherd his flock."
