As to why there are so many Gentiles at Jews for Jesus forums and events. I think it's just statistics - there are many more Gentiles than Jews and likewise many more Gentile Christians. And as we discover our Jewish roots (which have been grossly neglected and unintentially hidden - like Joseph's Jewishness was hidden in Egypt), we fall in love with our Jewish roots and the (even unbelieving) Jewish people. We naturally gravitate towards places like this forum. Thus the large numbers of Gentiles here.
After all don't the Scriptures teach that the faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob was to to go all the nations? Has Rabbinic Judaism gone to the nations in any signifigant amount? Which prophet brought Torah to the nations? Which see fulfilled Genesis 12:1-3, etc.?
And we eagerly await Joseph's unveiling to his beloved brothers! Maranatha!
Blessings in Messiah!
