Peter’s First Epistle

1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Exodus 19:5-6 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

Peter here above is writing to the believing of Israel whom he calls "a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people."  Peter is repeating that which the Lord spoke unto Israel in Exodus when the promise was based upon "if ye obey." Thus this epistle can only be for believers of the Nation Israel, not applying the Gentile body of Christ who is "not under the Law."

    1 Peter 2:12 Having your (Israel’s) conversation (manner of living) honest among the Gentiles…

Peter here above is obviously writing to the believers of the Nation Israel who he admonishes to be "honest among the Gentiles." The group "among" the Gentiles must not be the Gentiles – rather, that group must be Israel. Peter must be writing his epistles to the believing children of Israel.

Peter’s Second Epistle

This epistle concerns warnings of the coming Tribulation for Israel and the seduction to corrupting influence of the spirit of Anti-Christ. They are warned to make their "calling and election sure"; that they might enter the Millennium and the "everlasting kingdom."

2 Peter 1:10-11 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for IF YE DO THESE THINGS, ye shall never fall: 11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Peter, in his ministry to the circumcision, here above offers a "conditional" statement for salvation and entrance to the coming "kingdom" on earth for Israel.

2 Peter 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets (of Israel), and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord ("The Lord came to the lost sheep of the house of Israel," Matt 15:24) and Saviour.
2 Peter 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

Above we see that Peter refers to "holy prophets," no doubt of Israel; and "the promise" of the Messiah’s coming, as promised to Israel. The Gentiles were "aliens and strangers" to the promises or covenants of Israel (Eph 2:12). Peter must be writing to "the children of Israel."

Peter writes of an "entrance," not into "the body of Christ," but "into the everlasting kingdom" to come on earth, which had been was promised to the children of Israel.  2 Peter 1:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

In Peter’s first epistle he offers information regarding redemption by the "precious blood of Christ," no doubt based on what he learned from Paul years after Pentecost. Note Peter’s words in his second epistle. Here Peter writes regarding the need for his readers to gird their selves with "hope to the end" by the grace and revelation. He goes on concerning Paul and the sound doctrine to be found "in all his (Paul’s) letters." I believe Peter’s intended readers are both perhaps those of the Messianic church in his day, but certainly those of the remnant of believers in the coming "day of the Lord" in the Tribulation. Note here his reference to Paul’s letters.

2 Peter 3:15-16 (NASB) and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother PAUL, ACCORDING TO THE WISDOM GIVEN HIM, WROTE TO YOU, 16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, WHICH THE UNTAUGHT AND UNSTABLE DISTORT, AS THEY DO ALSO THE REST OF THE SCRIPTURES, TO THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION.

Proof that 2 Peter is written to those concerning the coming "day of the Lord" is here. 2 Peter 3:10 But THE DAY OF THE LORD will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.  This is the time of the Tribulation and it judgments upon "the Nations" and Israel as well.

John’s First, Second and Third Epistles

In these epistles we have a telltale marker of that which pertains to Israel, not the Gentiles "body of Christ" under the grace dispensation. The word is "commandment" with the word "new," as in "new commandment" (See 1John 2:8; 2John 1:4-5). The word "commandment" refers to as "the Law."

1 John 2:7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.

To whom was the original "commandments," "the Law" given? The "commandment (Law)" was given to Israel "in the beginning." John 1:17 (Jesus to His Jewish disciples) For the law was given by Moses…  This is to Israel.

Paul tells us the Gentiles had been "aliens" with "without God…without hope" and "strangers to the promises and covenants" (Eph 2:12) in "time past" (Eph 2:2); thus they never had the "old commandment."

Jesus gave a "new commandment" when He addressed "the lost sheep of the house of Israel" only (Matt 15:24). John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

The Epistle of Jude

Jude 1:1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: Jude 1:17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles (the twelve) of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Jude is the brother of James the lesser – not James the brother of the Lord. He writes; "I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt…" (Jude 1:5a) Both here and in Jude 17 he "reminds" his intended readers of the Lord saving the people out of Egypt; no doubt he is writing to Jews. Then he refers to the words of "the (twelve) Apostles" of Jesus. Remember that these "twelve" were sent only unto Israel (Matt 10:5-6). Obviously then Jude is writing to Israelites who would have such knowledge and could "remember" how all Israel was saved out of Egypt and the words of the twelve Apostles of Jesus of Nazareth.
