“Christ is both our peace and our peacemaker. His reconciling death on the cross has made the two—Jews and Gentiles—into one. Gentiles do not become Jews, but the two groups become one at a deeper level than ethnicity, forming Christ’s church.”
Daniel B. Wallace, “Perseverance of the Saints,” in CSB Study Bible: Notes, ed. Edwin A. Blum and Trevin Wax (Nashville, TN: Holman Bible Publishers, 2017), 1874.
“The temple was constructed on an elevated platform. Around it was the court of priests. East of this was the court of Israel. Farther east was the court of women. These three courts were all on the same elevation as the temple. From here a walled platform was five steps away. Fourteen steps away was another wall, which was the outer court of the Gentiles. There was an inscription on this wall warning Gentiles of their ensuing death if they entered the enclosure around the temple. In Christ this dividing wall was broken down, thus banishing the specific commandments that separated Jews from Gentiles because Gentiles did not observe the Jewish law. The burden of the commandments was taken away at the cross in our Lord’s crucified body.”
Daniel B. Wallace, “Perseverance of the Saints,” in CSB Study Bible: Notes, ed. Edwin A. Blum and Trevin Wax (Nashville, TN: Holman Bible Publishers, 2017), 1874.
The Soreg Inscription, an inscription in Greek from the late first century BC or the beginning of the first century AD, was found in Jerusalem, warning Gentiles not to enter the sanctuary where the Jewish temple was located. If they failed to heed this warning, they would be killed and have only themselves to blame for the consequences. This inscription now stands at the National Archaeological Museum in Istanbul. In addition, archaeologists have found two fragmentary copies of this warning that were in both Latin and Greek. The Soreg Inscription bears witness to the wall of hostility that has been torn down. “For he (Jesus) is our peace, who made both groups one and tore down the dividing wall of hostility” (Eph 2:14).
