Question: Read the context of Eph. 2:14-16. What do you think Jesus meant in John 10:16?
John 10:16, IMO refers to the Gentiles and Jews; after the Jews finally change their mind re. Jesus as their Messiah. Jesus only usually spoke to the Jews; as that was His calling initially (Matt.15:24)!
The delay is caused by Israel’s rejection of Jesus, when Paul visited the final Synagogue in Acts 28:25–28; and he was told to enact the prophecy of Isa. 6:9–10!
The Eph. 2:14–16 ref. is talking about the time when the Jews and Gentiles are “One Flock” (New Man), which cannot happen until the Jews accept Christ Jesus as their Messiah; which is delayed until the events of Zech.12:10!
