Glad you agree on our responsibilities here. We will occupy the holy Land until He comes and forever after. Psalms 37:29
Never heard if it. I prefer God's Plan for His Creation; the Bible.
There is only one 1000 year time when Jesus will reign and it is for His reward and is the Sabbath period for the earth and mankind.
Those scriptures and many more prove that we Christians are the inheritors of God's promises.
I thought I made it clear, that the 'church', the ekkelasia, the congregation, etc; is comprised of every individual faithful to God. From Abraham until todays born again Christians. The Jews become members in the same way. God has no favorites!
Good, but what you fail to understand, is that this will happen before Jesus Returns. The Shekinah glory will go into the new Temple, Ezekiel 43:1-6, and the citizens of the new nation of Beulah, Isaiah 62:1-5, will elect their own leaders. Hosea 1:11, Jeremiah 30:21
You like to make out that your opinion is factual.
But it's far from that, as all of Ezekiel 34:11-31 is about how the Lord will gather His sheep, now every born again Christian, and bless them in all of the Holy Land.
The New Testament is full of it; how it is only the faithful believers who are the people of God. Trying to say Jewish ethnic Israel will still receive all the Promises, is rather silly, because even just the numbers- a vast multitude, don't fit the Jews. Read Galatians 3:14
Sure, the Covenants are eternal, I didn't dispute that. Where you err, is thinking ethnic Israel, those who belong to the synagogue of Satan, Revelation 2:9, are still the inheritors of them.
You seen to be unable to read the very many prophesies that plainly say that only a small remnant of the Jews will survive the forthcoming Day of the Lord's wrath. Isaiah 22:14, Isaiah 6:11-13, Luke 19:27
The nation to be born in one day is Beulah and its citizens are people from every tribe, race, nation and language, all Faithful Christians. Isaiah 66:18b
Actually, the only souls Jesus will bring with Him at His Return, are those of the Tribulation martyrs, which includes the 2 witnesses. They will be brought back to life then. Revelation 20:4 All the rest of the dead await the GWT Judgement, after the Millennium. The 144,000 are those who proclaim the coming Kingdom. Isaiah 66:19
Sure; we don't change our skin color! I know some great black Christians and look forward to meeting them in the holy Land.
The few Messianic Jews who join their brethren, will be so ashamed of their race, they will keep very quiet. Ezekiel 16:63
Yes, the church that consists of every believer in Christ. Jew, Gentile or Eskimo.
It is not for these alone [the disciples] that I Pray, but for all who.....put their faith in Me.....
Your opinion about this, made to support the false theory of a rapture, is plainly wrong.
Isaiah 2:2-4 is about the Millennium period. But what you do not yet seem to see, is how there will be a new nation in all of the holy Land, before Jesus Returns. The posts I have put up in the 'The Lord comes to reveal His glory among His own', thread help to explain this.
keras,
1. The Jewish nation will inhabit Israel, the capital of the earth not the other saints Ezekiel 37:16-28; Matthew 19:28.
I said that I'm sure other saints
will go to Israel such as on business or visits etc. and the nations will have to come to celebrate feasts.
2. Dake could quote the whole Bible by memory and he always believed in context and proper hermeneutics and backed it up by many scriptures.
3. Psalm 37:29 is talking to the Jews not gentiles who had no covenant.
This is shown in Jesus teachings of the Sermon on the Mount when he was offering the KoH Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.
Genesis 12:1-3 they would be a nation that the families of the earth will be blessed.
All these verses and context about Israel's earthly calling which is eternal.
It doesn't mean that the righteous won't inherit the earth but not in the same land of Israel, not in the same position at the head of the nations of the earth and not in the context of Psalm 37:29. This is why you will always come to the wrong conclusion.
4. There is one 1000 year millennial reign to rid Sin of Rebellion, Christ enemies, and Death so God can be all in all 1 Corinthians 15:24-28. You can't debunk these scriptures and you didn't even try and gave no scriptural proof and that is why it's just your opinion.
5. Christians do inherit promises of God for we are Blesses and set in Heavenly places already Ephesians 1:3 and we will be kings and priests in the kingdom Revelation 5:9-10.
There is nowhere that says the church will live in Israel or be at the head of the nations in Jerusalem.
6. Abraham will be one of the dead who will be resurrected in the rapture of 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 with the Church who are alive and remain.
He will also come out of Heaven with all the heavenly saints to go to the Battle of Armageddon Revelation 19:11-15.
We inherit the Abrahamic covenant that concerns salvation Galatians 3:19 among other things but living in the specific land of Israel.
God has no favorites concerning salvation and I made that clear!!!!
Just because Israel has a different position of authority doesn't mean God is a respect of persons.
We will have different positions of authority in the kingdom according to ones faithfulness for to whom much is given much is required and that is fair and righteous.
7. The temple will be built in the tribulation the first half and will be desecrated and sacrifices cease Revelation 11:1-2.
It will be cleansed at the end of the tribulation Daniel 12:12.
8. Revelation 2:9 are the Jews historically in the days of Rome and Domitian the emperor. It is true now in the church age but the context is not in the tribulation concerning the church.
You don't believe this because you believe the church will not be raptured and will have to go through the tribulation. Your position is faulty because you don't understand the church age and the separate earthly calling of the nation of Israel.
Ethnic Israel who are believers will inherit the gifts and callings Romans 11:29.
Ethnic Israel who are rebels will be cut off Zechariah 13:9.
9. Revelation 11:12 and 12:17 shows the Jewish remnant that are scattered.
Revelation 12:14 Israel as the sun Clothed woman I will be protected in the wilderness. These will make up the whole nation with the Jewish remnant of her seed that is scattered v 17.
Revelation 1:7 says Behold he cometh wth Clouds and every eye shall see him and they which also pierced him.... these are the Jews and God will forgive Israel's sins Jeremiah 31:31-34; Hebrews 8:7-13 and the New Covenant will be made with Israel at this time.
10. Isaiah 66:18 says nothing about the nations being citizens of Israel. They will come to see the glory of the Lord. I don't know why you make these things up.
11. The tribulation martyrs and the Two witnesses aren't the only ones to come out of Heaven for their are saints that died in time past. Of course I already proved the church will be in Heaven but you won't believe that and you haven't proved the scriptures wrong.
The 144,000 do proclaim the gospel for they are witnesses but you must have forgotten Revelation 14:1-5 which says they are in MT. Sion which is in Heaven not on earth. They are redeemed from among men and from the earth and are before God's throne as the firstfruits of God and the Lamb who are in Heaven during the tribulation and this is why they are before God's throne which is in Heaven. They will be at the Marriage of the Lamb and come out of Heaven with the rest of the Ten thousands of saints Jude 1:14.
The nation being born in one day is the nation of Israel. The church is not a Physical nation in the respect of Israel.
12. Ezekiel 16:63 says nothing about being ashamed of their race but the shame of their sin.
Even in the tribulation the Jews will Heralds the gospel of the kingdom message Matthew 24:14 which is the king is coming, the kingdom is coming and God will defeat their enemies Matthew 24:14. This is a witness for all nations that Christ will take over the kingdoms of this world which the angels whisper in Heaven Revelation 11:15.
It doesn't mean that salvation will not be preached but it is only part of the gospel of the kingdom.
13. I gave the proper context of Jesus praying for his disciples who he knew would all die for the sake of the call. You stretch the context to others with no proof and don't reconcile with it.
14. The Lord comes to reveal his glory among his own doesn't mean that all the saints will live in Israel for we will be King and Priests and Rulers throughout the rest of the Kingdom.
I really don't know why you want to keep distorting the context of scriptures and it is not right when you just loosely put it in other context it don't belong just because you want to be all inclusive of the church in every way and rob Israel of its covenant blessings.
The type of hermeneutics you display are incorrect and doesn't make logical sense according to biblical hermeneutics.
Why does your crowd find it so offensive that Israel has a different gifts and callings concerning rulership in the kingdom reign on earth? I'd really like to know.
I can assure you that the apostles and all other saints will have different positions of authority than you or I both and some in greater dimensions. It doesn't mean they are any better than we are personally but that they were more faithful.
Israel's calling is not even that, but it is because they are the apple of God's eye and he has not forgotten them and they are divorced from him and have been and they will be restored as his wife.
The church is seen as a virgin and Paul said he would present his flock as a virgin to Christ for he was responsible to and for them.
The church will not be married to Christ the Lamb till the end of the tribulation Revelation 19:7-10.
They will inhabit the Holy City after the 1000 years, the casting of Satan into the Lake of Fire and the GWTJ and death and hell are destroyed and the New Heaven and Earth are created. Jerry kelso
