God is NOT willing that any should perish. From the beginning of the World. BEFORE the was a Jew or a Gentile, His "intent" was that the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, (with the Jew) and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.." (Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12)

This is not "replacement theology"as some say. This God's Redemptive Purpose unfolding reconciling the Jew and Gentile together as saints. ONE NEW MAN

The Stranger(a foreigner:—alien, sojourner, stranger)

When "a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the Passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. One law shall be to him that is home born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you." (Exodus 12:48-49)

I.  The Old Testament Law "was given by Moses" (John.1:17, Matt.5:17-19, Rom.3:21-31; 8:1-4)
    
     For "Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your
     brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. (Deut.18:15,
     Acts.3:22)

      A.  When "a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the Passover to the Lord"
            1.  If the stranger decides
                 a.  A stranger / Alien is a Gentile (i.e. every Nation that is not Jewish)
                 b.  Strangers were outside the covenants of promise, without hope, without God (Eph.2:1-22)
                      (See genealogy chart)
            2.  One law shall be to him that is home born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth
                 (or dwells) among you." (Exodus 12:48-49, Numbers 9:14)

                 b.  No respecter of persons (Acts.10:34)
                 c.  Atonement money / the rich shall not give more or the poor less (Exod.30:11-16) 
                      (1)  Half a shekel of the sanctuary (Exod.30:11-16, 1Peter.1:18-20)
                      (2)  Shekel is silver (Exod.38:25-25)
                 d.  One man sold us into sin and one man (Jesus "the last Adam") will redeem us
                      back (Rom.5:10-15)
            3.  The Passover Lamb foreshadowed, Christ our Passover. (Exod.12:1-14, 1Cor.5:7-8)
                One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger. (NOTE: There shall
                 no stranger eat thereof (Exod.12:43) "if he refuses to to abide by the Law of the
                 Passover)
            4.  He "that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your
                 generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger,
                 which is not of thy seed."(Gen.17:12 - 26, Matt.28:19, Acts.2:37-39; 8:14-17; 10:44-48;
                  19:1-7)
            5.  All "the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with moneyof the
               stranger, were circumcised with him." (Genesis 17:27, Rom.2:28-29, Col.2:11-13,
                   Gal.3:15-16 )
            6.  Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that
                  which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel,
                 whether he be a stranger, or born in the land." (Exodus 12:19, 1Cor.5:7-8)
            7.  Thou (you) shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of
                 the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice.
                 (Levi.17:8, Eph.2:11-22, 1Peter.2:5,9)
            8.  One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth
                  with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the
                  Lord. (Numbers 15:15-16)
            9.  Ye (you) shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among
                  the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them. (Num.15:27-29)
          10.  But the soul that doeth (does) ought (labor) presumptuously, whether he be born in the land,
                 or a stranger, the same reproacheth the Lord; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
                  (Num.15:30)
          11.  But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy
                  son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any
                  of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may
                  rest as well as thou. (Deut.5:14)
          12.  This "shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month,
                 ye (you) shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a    
                stranger that sojourneth among you" (Levi.16:29, Eph.2:11-22)
                 a.  The significance of the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month
                      (1)  This was the Feast of Tabernacles (Lev.16:1-; 23:1-44)               
                      (2)  This was one of three Feasts was "a shadow of things to come" (Col.2:16-17)
                             (a)  The Feast of Passover [Historically fulfilled and experientially when we
                                    are saved / Born again (1Cor.5:7-8)
                             (b)  The Feast of Harvest / Weeks / Pentecost [Historically fulfilled and
                                    experientially when we received the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts.2:38)
                             (c)  The Feast of Tabernacles [Has not been Historically yet]
                       (4)  Tabernacles foreshadows the Bride
                       (5)  Ruth (the stranger) was the Bride because of the Law of the kinsmen
                              redeemer.(Lev.25:5-10, 25 / Gen.38:8-10, Ruth.2:20; 3:1-4, Matt.5:17-19,
                                Rom.3:21-31, Heb.9:1-10)

II.  But "graceand truth" came by Jesus Christ[0](John.1:17, Matt.5:17-19, Rom.3:21-31; 8:1-4)

       For "Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your
       brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. (Deut.18:15,
       Acts.3:22)

      A. "...Wherefore remember, that ye [you] (Eph.2:11)
           1.   Being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are calleduncircumcision by that which
                 is called the circumcision in the flesh made by hands; (Gen.17:)See genealogy chart
           2.  God gave Abraham circumcision as the seal to the covenant that He made with him. (Gen.17:9-14)
           3.  The Gentiles / strangers were outside this Covenant (Eph.2:1-22)
           4.   Now we [The Church, the Saints, the Israel of God, Jew and Gentile / Stranger together] have been
                 circumcised with a circumcision made without hands(Rom.2:28-29; 9:1-8, Eph.2:1-22, Gal.6:15-16,
                   Col.2:10-12) NOTE: Even in the Law and the Prophets God was saying that He is look for the
                 circumcision of heart. (Deut.10:16; 30:6, Jer.4:4)

      B.  "...That at that time..." (Eph.2:11-12)
            1.  Ye (you Gentiles / Strangers) were without  Christ,
            2.  Being aliens (strangers) from the commonwealth of Israel,
            3.  And strangers (aliens) from the covenants of promise,[0]
            4.  Having no hope, and
            5.  Without God in the world:
            6.  But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off
                   (Acts.2:37-38) are made nighby the blood of Christ.
            7.  For he is our (the Jew and Gentiles) peace, who hath made both one, and now saints
            8.  And hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; (Jew and Gentile)
            9.  Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances;
          10.  For to make in himself of twain (two - Jew and Gentile) one new man, (Eph.4:11-16) so making peace.
          11.  And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
          12.  And came and preached peace
                 a.  To you which were afar off ( The starngers, Gentiles, Nations
                 b.  And to them that were nigh (The natural seed of Abraham being in Covenant with God)
                 c.  For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
























      C.  Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners,
            1.  But fellowcitizens with the saints, because this was and is God's eternal purpose from the beginning
                 of the world. (Eph.2:19; 3:1-12) NOTE: This both there was even a Jew or a Gentile
            2.  And of the household of God. (Eph.2:19; 3:1-15)
            3.  And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself (1Cor.3:10-15)
            4.  Jesus Christ being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth
                 unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God
                through the Spirit.[See PHASE 2, Page 2] "For this cause (that we are being built a SPIRITUAL
                TEMPLE"Eph.2:1-22)NOT A NATURAL (earthly) TEMPLE.

      D.  I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, (stranger's") If ye (you) have heard of the dispen-
            sation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
            1.  How that by revelation(Gal.1:11-12)he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore
                 (before) in few words, Whereby, when ye (you) read, ye (you) may understand my knowledge
                 in the mystery of Christ)
            2.  Which in other ages (Old Testament generations) was not made known unto the sons of men,
                  (Matt.13:10-17, 1 Peter.1:10-12) as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets
                  (2Peter.3:1-2, Luke.24:44-45, John.16:10-15) by the Spirit;
            3.  That the Gentiles (strangers / Nations) should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and
                 partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
            4.  Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the
                 effectual working of his power... And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the
                mystery, which from thebeginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all
               things by Jesus Christ: (Eph.3:1-9,John.1:1-14, Heb.1:1-2)

                 Remember your natural genealogy does not count after the Cross, this only counted for the
                 children of Abraham to bring them to Christ.

      E.  Some extra thoughts: The tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levities shall set it up: and the stranger
          that cometh (comes) nigh nigh (near) shall be put to death. (Numbers 1:50-51, NOTE: Neh.7:63-65) No
           stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, should come near to offer incense before the Lord; that he be
           not as Korah, and as his company: as the Lord said to him by the hand of Moses. (Num.16:40) 
           1.   The stranger in the New Testament reality.
                 They are outside the Covenants of promise, uncircumcised, without God, without hope, dead
                 in sin and trespass. (Eph.2:1-12)  Jude says, "For there are certain men crept in unawares, ("tares"
                  Matt.13:24-30, 36-43 Cain, Balaam, Core / Korah) who were before of old ordained to this
                 condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the
                 only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
                 a.  [Cain, Balaam, Core (Korah)]
                      (1)  These are spots in your feasts of charity, when
                      (2)  They feast with you, feeding themselves without fear:
                      (3)   Clouds they are without water, carried about of winds;
                      (4)   Trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
                      (5)   Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame;
                      (6)   Wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
                 b.  This is why we need to know them that labor amongst us / prove all things / hold fast to the
                      good. Think of Neh.7:63-65 Their register was not found / could not work / they would pollute the
                      holy things of God.

                      NOTE: The stranger was allowed to sojourn BUT they have to abide by the Law of God
