1 Thessalonians 2:16
I Thessalonians 2:16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles. Nothing created such animosity on the part of the Jews as preaching the gospel to the Gentiles. See Acts 22:21-23. To fill up their sins always. To fill the measure of their sins so full that God would reject them as a people. Compare Genesis 15:16 Mt 23:32. For the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. They were ripe for destruction. Before twenty years it came.
