National Israel is cursed forever ! (2)

Now, once more convert to Jesus and Christianity, that will be the time of rejoicing.



Israel's Messianic Jews: Some Call it a Miracle - Inside Israel - CBN News - Christian News 24-7 - CBN.com

In Israel, a resurgence in the number of Jews who believe in Jesus is getting a lot of attention. Many leaders say it's the strongest growth since the time of Jesus and that the Messianic movement could be on the brink of a great revival.
"This is the first time where we've seen Israeli society in general being so open to consider who Yeshua is," said Messianic leader Asher Intrater. "This is a real miracle, and there's beginning to be grace and favor with us in the land."

Although Jesus and the early disciples were Jewish, for nearly 2,000 years the gospel has been viewed as a religion mainly for Gentiles. Even the name Jesus or Yeshua has been a forbidden word among many Jews. But in the last few years, Messianic leaders in Israel say something important is happening.
"I believe with all my heart, after we have come back to the land, we are seeing the Lord, the Holy Spirit, is removing the veil from the eyes of the Jews and more and more Jews are realizing," Tel Aviv pastor Avi Mizrachi said................

"Everytime a bell rings, a Jew converts to Christianity"

Lol, that Jimmy Stewart moment was hilarious.

Personally though, from the Mid- Perspective, as much as I see the issue of the Land throughout Matthew - Early Acts and Hebrews - Revelation: God's Prophesied will as to the election of Israel, as much as Paul goes on about it in the Body's truth: Romans - Philemon - he that readeth let him understand - no, I do not believe that God has interrupted what He is doing as to the Body, just to bring Israel back into their PROMISED land.

Rather, what I see as a Mid-Acts Dispensationlist, is what Israelite believers - the election of Israel - like that old man in Luke 2 - Simeone - had "believed to see" despite all those years that Israel had not heard a peep from God - THAT - HE - WOULD - KEEP - HIS - PROMISE!!!

I don't see that in Messianic Judaism, as God is far from through with His "visit among the Gentiles, to call out a people for His name," but I do see that His "after this I - WILL- RETURN,"

Why?

Because the Apostle of the Gentiles - who's Apostleship of the Gentiles was confirmed as of God in accordance with Isaiah 8:20 via Barnabas per Acts 9:27 - said Apostle - Paul - when he asked the question he asked in Rom. 11:1, 2, as to whether "God cast away his people?," not only did he refer to them as "his people," but to "his people WHICH HE FOREKNEW."

That speaks of GOD'S election - of what HE elected to do -FOR - HIMSELF - IN - HIS - SON one day THROUGH the election of that nation - those OF ISRAEL the Israel of God; those WHOM HE FOREKNEW WILL exercise their free will - like Simeon hereinabove - choosing to belive Him.

And while today that is approach Him as Uncurcumcision, for today their is no difference, "after this," there will be once more - its just a matter of studying these things out, not right off gainsaying them just because they don't the Replacement tradition...

That's ok, but all the evidence I have seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears indicates that this nation of Israel has become a test to the nations in general, and a test to all who name the Name of Jesus in particular...a sort of role reversal of Judges 3:1-4.

It is a pertinent test for Christians to be put under.

The way God test is like fire tests iron. Raise the temperature high enough, and the dross falls off.

In this case, the dross would be those who consider national Israel cursed forever.

Not sure I understand that.

But I find Ezekiel 22 rather revealing concerning "dross" and the people of Israel and Jerusalem.

I relate this to the destruction of Jerusalem in AD70 but never could figure out how God would "gather them" into the City.
Ezekiel 22:

17 Then the word of the Lord came to me:
18 “Son of man, the people of Israel have become dross to me; all of them are the copper, tin, iron and lead left inside a furnace.
They are but the dross of silver.
19 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
‘Because you have all become dross, I will gather you into Jerusalem.
20 As silver, copper, iron, lead and tin are gathered into a furnace to be melted with a fiery blast,
so will I gather you in my anger and my wrath and put you inside the city and melt you.
21 I will gather you and I will blow on you with my fiery wrath, and you will be melted inside her.
22 As silver is melted in a furnace, so you will be melted inside her,
and you will know that I the Lord have poured out my wrath on you.’”

But then I read Josephus' accout of that destruction and he mentioned the Roman army encompassing Jerusalem on the Feast of the Passover!

What better way to have all the Jews gathered there than that event!

The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD

The day on which Titus encompassed Jerusalem, was the feast of the Passover...........

The City was at this time crowded with Jewish strangers, and foreigners from all parts, so that the whole nation may be considered as having been shut up in one prison, preparatory to the execution of the Divine vengeance


.

That"s all fine and wonderful Lil Lamb, but from the Mid-Acts Perspective, the Body did not, does not, and will not "replace" GOD'S F-O-R-E-K-N-O-W-N purpose FOR JACOB!

Replacementists miserably fail to understand both GOD'S purpose as to Israel's "wrath to come," as well through said wrath - their it is in Malachi 3 and Matt. 3 - that "REFINER'S fire, thus, WHY He REMINDED Israel again, of HIS-FOREKNOWN PURPOSE IN JACOB as to WHY said wrath WOULD NOT consume them.


But, just as you guys continue to confuse not only what covenant Daniel was referring to in Daniel 9, but WHEN it will actually be confirmed, you confuse the above as to Israel's Land Promise, as well as, as to the purpose of their wrath.

I suggest you take Daniel's comments in Daniel 9 as to Moses on this, at its Leviticus 26 face value

Well, just to be more clear then, the title of this thread has all the subtlety of a Westboro member going down the street with a God hates F*GS! sign.

Matthew 21
19 Seeing a lone fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it except leaves only; and He *said to it, "No longer shall there ever be any fruit from you." And at once the fig tree withered.


That is the curse of Jesus on Israel. Fig tree is figuratively Israel. Almost all the OT prophecies have become obsolete. Jesus has fulfilled the Law. The final revelation ends with John. Jesus' curse was confirmed with the destruction of the temple and scattering of the Jews.

Yet the Dispensationalists do NOT believe this applies to the conditional statements that are sprinkled through out the prophets. If God says, "If Israel disobeys I will repent of the word I have spoken," and then Israel disobeys and God does not repent of His word, then God's word about His repenting of His word fails.

No, the problem is that because it does not fit your manner of reasoning "about" a thing through the theology you reason about" it through, you stop there - you do not search it out.

Searching it out, is exactly how the Dispensational principle was recovered - "wait a minute, this does not jibe with this over here... what if... instead of attempting to make it jibe as has been the tradition... what if, instead, we simply got back in Scripture and searched this thing out anew... wait... what's this... but the tradition is that Matthew is the New Testament... I mean, its says so right here in this page between Malachi and Matthew... something is not kosher here - in Matthew 8 He heals a man and then reminds him not only to go and shew himself to -a priest - but to give a gift of some sort... [sometime, after much in The Book] ah, here is the answer to that - Leviticus 14... wow... that gift is an animal sacrifice... I wonder... I wonder... if there are other examples like this... that might help me sort these things out... wow, here is another... and another - these are - Things That Differ - what else... wow... we've been wrong..."

That is not called "some recent innovation, and therefore off," in any other field out there... only the ignorance that men bring to Scripture only to trade that in for a tradition steeped in the pride that is scholastic mysticism calls such an advance, therefore off...

In every other field out there including this advance in the communication of information we now refer to as the internet - it is called an advance in the understanding of Things That Differ... that, as a result, make for the huge difference in understanding that they do.

You're making no sense. The promises of Israel's restoration to the land were conditional. Conditional statements are sprinkled through out the prophets regarding the land promise. But the Dispensationalists treat them as if they don't exist. When the Dispensationalist sees a promise where the condition is not expressly stated he takes the libeerty to interpret it in isolation from the conditional sttements that had been CLEARLY expressed.

The Jews to whom the prophets wrote understood that the promises were conditional. They said that God would deal with them on a conditional basis as He did with their fathers. God said, "Return to me and I will return to you. Do not be like your fathers." The Jews replied, "The Lord of hosts has determined to do to us according to our ways and according to ur deeds (Zechariah 1:3-6).

Every promise given in Zechariah must be understood in the light of this foundational principle. The lack of an expressly stated condition does NOT warrant the conclusion that it was an unconditional statement.

And as He nears, beholding the City and He laments on Her,

That shall be arriving days upon thee and thy enemies shall be casting up a rampart/siege-work to thee, and shall be encompassing thee, and pressing thee every which place.
And they shall shall be leveling thee and thy offspring in thee, and not shall be leaving stone upon stone in thee, instead which not thou knew the time of thy visitation".

The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD

The Destruction Of JERUSALEM
An Absolute and Irresistible Proof Of The Divine Origin Of CHRISTIANITY:

................The day on which Titus encompassed Jerusalem, was the feast of the Passover ; and it is deserving of the very particular attention of the reader, that this was the anniversary of that memorable period in which the Jews crucified their Messiah ! At this season multitudes came up from all the surrounding country, and from distant parts, to keep the festival. How suitable and how kind, then, was the prophetic admonition of our LORD, and how clearly he into futurity when he said "Let not them that are in the countries enter into Jerusalem." Luke xxi. 21..............

......The Temple now presented little more than a heap of ruins..........

.............For five days after the destruction of the Temple, the priests who had escaped, sat, pining with hunger, on the top of one of its broken walls; at length, they came down, and humbly asked the pardon of Titus, which, however, he refused to grant them, saying, that, "as the Temple, for the sake of which he would have spared them, was destroyed, it was but fit that its priests should parish also:" -whereupon he commanded that they should be put to death.........

Acts 1 relates that Christ was raised from the dead "to sit," not sitting, on David's throne.

And that He is sitting at the Father's right hand til He returns to make His enemies the footstool of His own - David's throne.

Many also confuse the Mosaic covenant - which is conditional as to Israel's right to live in the Land - they confuse that with the Abrahamic covenant - which is unconditional as to their right to own the Land.

The Abrahamic covenant is unconditional - it gives them the Land in Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

The Law was added because of transgressions. It is conditional - it conditions their right to live in the land.

Which covenant they brake.

The New Covenant promises to gather them from all countries He has scattered them to, sprinkle them with clean water - water baptize them unto their prophesied priesthood - forgive them their trespasses, remember their sins no more, or blot out their sins at His return - give them His Spirit, and enable them to be His people; enable them to keep His statutes and ordinances, and thus enable them to live in the Land, no longer polluting it.

They will them be able to live in the land, not simply own it, but scattered far from it pinning [pie-ning] away for it, that it have its Sabbaths from their pollutions of it.

The Boxer said:

The scripture I gave you was an answer to your false claim this promise was so absolutely unconditional that God explicitly said that it would still apply, even:

"If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;"

That is, it was absolutely unconditional.

A single absolutely unconditional promise completely destroys your argument that they were all conditional.

But that is not the only such scripture. Your claim that all the promises were conditional is a flat contradiction of the principle we find in Romans 4 and Galatians 3.

"For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all," (Romans 4:13-17)

"And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. 18For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise." (Galatians 3:17-18)

In these two passages, the Holy Spirit uses the absolutely unconditional nature of the promises made to Abraham as the basis for why we can confidently rest our confidence in himself. For if the promises made to Israel were conditional, then the promises made to us are also conditional. But the arguement being made in these passages is that the fact that these promises were absolutely uncinditional is why we can trust the promises made to ourselves as also being unconditional.

If God does not keep his promises, we have no basis for our faith, and everything is vain. And the fact that God also made conditional promises to them and to us, does not make the unconditional promises conditional.

righttruth,

1. Matthew 21:19 has nothing to do with a curse by Jesus on Israel. That is subjection on your part.
Jesus had just cast out the money changers out of the temple and the blind and the lame came to him in the temple and he healed them. The chief priests and scribes witnessed these healed and saying, Hosanna to the son of David and that is what they were upset about. Jesus replied, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou has perfected praise? Jesus leaves and the next morning the fig tree he pronounced judgement on it and immediately it withered away. The disciples were amazed and Jesus said; Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea, it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,believing ye shall receive.

2. Those chief priest and the elders wanted to know by what authority Jesus did these things? Then he asks the question whether or not the baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or of men. They couldn't tell because they knew their hypocrisy and unbelief would have been exposed.

3. The fig tree had nothing to do with doing away with Israel's unconditional promise to the land or the Kingdom. It had to do with faith in believing for those to be healed and this is even seen in the pharisees question of by what authority he did those things. This is the context.

4. The old testament prophecies concerning the Day of the Lord in the old testament have not been fulfilled and will not until Daniel's 70th week and the time of the gentiles comes in (Daniel 9:24-27; Romans 11:25-29).

5. Jesus fulfilled the law of Moses was added because of sin, which was only till the seed should come and its righteousness and when it was fulfilled and reached its goal it was replaced by the new covenant in his blood at Calvary (Matthew 26:28, Hebrews 8:6-7).

6. Jesus prophecy on the temple and the nation had to do with the blessings and cursing system of the law that they were under not the doing away of the covenant of Abraham and David.

7. Truthfully, their rejection was prophesied in the old testament and the reason they missed it because he was the suffering savior and not the conqueor. This did not make the physical Kingdom of Heaven offer not valid but it was conditioned on obedience.
The restitution of all things was to happen at this time but the truth is just like Adam and Eve sinned, Israel did too. Just like Adam and Eve were kicked out of the garden and relinquished rule in the garden, Israel did not receive the physical rule.
Israel's gifts and callings are without repentance to God because they are unconditional but they are conditioned by obedience to attain the rights to them and it has to be under the new covenant. The new covenant in blood had not happened yet. It wasn't until the cross happened.

8. Eventually, they will have knowledge of the new testament gospel for God will make the new covenant with them and put the laws into their mind and they won't have to be taught of any man etc. (Hebrews 8:7-13).

9. Revelation 1:7 says they will look upon the one they pierced. They will understand the difference between the righteousness of the law vs. righteousness by faith.

10. So 70 A.D. was not the end for the calling of Israel who will be at the head of the nations and from where the Law will go forth from Zion (Isaiah 2:1-4). This has never happened before.

11. One last thing I will say is that I don't know why my font has changed or how to get it back. LOLLOLLOL!

12. Israel's calling and placement of the covenants to the land and the Kingdom are in connection with the restitution of all things and this is why Peter on the Day of Pentecost talked about the restitution of all things because those signs of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is what was to precede the kingdom (Acts 3:19-21).
Jesus had told them right before this and before he went back to heaven in answer to their question about the kingdom being set up and he said it is not for you to know, but only the Father knows.

13. Peter's ministry was mainly to the jews and he always had the kingdom view somewhat in his mind and even in this passage he lets them know that they were the children of the prophets and of the covenant which God made with their fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities. Peter didn't have the full revelation of the church for it took 8-10 before he was given the message of the clean and the unclean but he still understood the eternal covenant made with Israel. I'll stop here for now and fix my font. God bless! Jerry Kelso
