Isa 56:3 Let no foreigner who is bound to the Lord say, \u201cThe Lord will surely exclude me from his people .\u201d And let no eunuch complain, \u201cI am only a dry tree. \u201d<\/p>\n
The Gentiles and eunuchs were distinctively separated and were not admitted to the same privileges as native Israelites. A foreigner depicts a person born in or coming from a country other than one’s own. He has limited rights and privileges as compared to natives .<\/p>\n
But upon possession of legal documents ,access to privileges is granted. “Eunuch ” is an emblem of that which is barren, useless, unfruitful and has no other use except being cutoff. These two external barriers disqualified people from being members of God’s congregation.<\/p>\n
But under the new dispensation,God welcomes all believers, without distinction of persons. Then Peter began to speak: \u201cI now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.(Act10:34-35) <\/p>\n
Let no one think himself unfit to receive the graces of the Lord: for the Lord will take away all impediments, and will forsake no one who will keep his true religion, and believe in him.(Geneva study Bible) <\/p>\n
