Description

Arno Clemens Gaebelein (August 27, 1861 - December, 1945) was a Methodist minister in the United States of America. He was a prominent teacher and conference speaker. He was also the father of educator and philosopher of Christian education Frank E. Gaebelein. In the Nov-Dec 1896 issue of "Our Hope" one of the best statements of Hebrew Christians (Messianic Jews) was written under the heading, The Principles of the Hope of Israel Moment. "The Hope of Israel Movement aims to bring the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ to His brethren according to the flesh. We hold that Scriptural - not Talmudic or Rabbinical, still less Reformed - Judaism is as much as divine revelation as Christianity. The canon of the New Testament has no higher Dicine authorith than has that of the Old. Neither is complete without the other. Salvation is from the Jews, John iv:22. And the gospel is "to the Jew first," Rom. i:18. The Jew is not a Gentile. The term "proselyte," therefore, can never apply to the Jew. The promice of God are Israel's Rom. ix:4, 5. Gentile believers are the real "proselytes," once far off, now made nigh, Eph. Ii:12, 13. The root of God's good olive tree, Israel, bears us; not we the root, Rom. xi:17, 18. To "proselyte" the Jew, then, is to ignore and to reverse the Divine order.
