Whatever the reason no Gentiles came into the New Covenant prior to Acts 10, it wasn't due to the Seventy Weeks. Which is more obvious to me now that I better understand the purpose of the Seventy Weeks (plus that the Weeks ended the year Christ died).
Still looking into the Jubilee cycle thing, may be a rabbit trail. |
Gentiles could become Jews, which are what those proselytes were.
