The war of the Jews

So I read this book called "The War of the Jews" written by Flabious Josephus. If you are not familar with the author he was a Jewish historian that lived in the first century. He was a very wealthy man that was extreemly educated. He had a desire to write a history telling the story of what happened to his people as they were crushed by the Romans. Anyways if you want the story you should pick yourself up a copy or check it out of the libary. Make sure you get a translation unless you are doctor Hofeditz and wish to read the whole thing in greek. Anyways it was one of the most moving histories I have ever read in my life. It is quite amazing to see Deuteronomy 29 in action. However the Jews know that Ezekeil 37 will one day come to past and Romans 11:26 is true "all Israel will be saved" despite their sinfulness. Which is exactly the same way we are all saved. God does not wait for us to become righteous to save us. He saves us because we are utterly depraved.
