   The early Christian church were Jews...converted by the   
   powerful truth that Jesus was the Messiah in fulfillment   
   of all the messianic prophecies that were given to them.

   Jesus was Jewish and was the anti-type of the prophetic   
   symbols that were given to them..The apostle Paul based   
   much of his evangelical efforts on the Jewish scriptures.
