Many in Christ’s day believed that because they had the covenants, the promises, and the law that they didn’t need salvation. Although they were anticipating a Messiah, they rejected Christ and everything He had to say. Paul makes it clear as to “why” in the book of Romans: not all Israel is of Israel. Some people known as “Israel” had the capacity to respond to Christ. Many did not. The same is true today, and until God gives the capacity, no one can receive. VF-2426.

The practices and identity of the Jewish people began to crystallize after their return from exile in Babylon.  They began to strictly enforce the law and to separate themselves from the ways of the foreigners who ruled over them.  This period also saw the addition of new laws and holidays, which the Jewish people strictly adhered to.  They developed a national spirit and fought to protect their religion.

The Jewish identity and practices of Judaism did not begin to emerge until after the return from Babylonian captivity.  Although the priesthood had maintained certain practices and preserved the Hebrew tongue, most of the population had forgotten these things.  During this time there were waves of religious zeal as well as disobedience among the people.
