Jacob 5 is all about the Gentiles and the Jews, and the comparison of them to an olive tree. Frankly, it is really hard to understand. I get lost in all the details about what represents what. So, here is MY simplified view of what this is about:
Our Heavenly Father has many children. They can be separated into two main groups: the Jews and the Gentiles. Both groups have ups and downs and promises made to them. In the last days, all the lost tribes of Israel will be gathered in the sense that all will receive the gospel.
***(All of this is my own interpretation and may be entirely wrong. However, I'm too tired at the moment to research it out. Feel free to comment and correct me.)***
The main point I gather from this chapter though is that God loves His children. All of them. He is no respector of persons. He loves us infinitely and eternally. He will keep the promises He has made, as long as we keep our promises to Him and continue in righteousness. I testify that you and I have a Father in Heaven who loves us more than we can comprehend with our finite minds. Our bodies are finite, but His love is infinite. I'm so grateful for this knowledge and truth. It brings such peace and happiness into my life.
