Hi Barry,

"If he allowed them to be momentarily placed back fully under the pressures of trying to keep the law it may be that finally they will see the utter impossibility of keeping it and then turn to Jesus for salvation".
 
When/where did the Jews ever consider themselves out from under the Law? If they never considered themselves out from it, then how can they be placed back under it?

I agree Kevin, the Jews are STILL under the Law, since they do not believe that Messiah has come yet. Truth is, most Jews are closer to being atheists and anything else...they might have traditions, but I think the majority (at least here in the States), don't believe as they did. Since they aren't giving sacrifices, how can they be truly 'practicing'? The only thing I can see that could be close to 'placed back under the law' would be them feeling CONVICTED. Then, they'd be more likely to 'place themselves' or rededicate themselves to the practices of old. If they didn't see the need for Jesus all this time, it's going to take a major awakening for them to see Him for who He is now (in future). Even with that old Rabbi writing the name of Jesus as the Messiah, his own Son refused to believe it was true.

Just my two cents.
