Yes, you have a theorized nation made up of Christians from around the world, which you call Beulah, replace the current nation of Israel.
Wow! Your dogmatism has taken a nasty turn! Since when does a disagreement over a peripheral belief mean that someone can only enter Heaven through fire?
Not that I know of. The Jews themselves don't recognized what happened. They consider the state of Israel as not being the kingdom of Israel (i.e. not being ruled by a king). Which, true, it is not currently a "kingdom" - it is one nation, not two nations of north and south any longer.
Both Hosea 1:11 and Jeremiah 30:21, say the Lords people will elect a leader for themselves.
It is glaringly obvious that the current State of Israel, in a small part of the Holy Land, represents Judah only; NOT the other 10 tribes.
This reply in itself; is a nasty accusation.
keras. here is a map of the two kingdoms...and below it, modern day Israel. As you can see they cover the same area of land.
An elected leader is not a king. To be the kingdom of Beulah, the leader has to be a king.
Israel was reunified as ONE NATION (Two sticks prophesy of Ez. 37) after the Assyrian war because many from the Northern Kingdom fled to Judah/Jerusalem. Thus they were toted off to Babylon as the whole house of Israel, but of course the two southern tribes had more peoples in Judah/Jerusalem, but the tribe lives with just one man, even if the other two had a half million. Hs mistake is he demands those other people God says he FORSOOK FOREVER has to be added back in, no they don't, if one tribe got down to 1 man, and he had 10 baby boys, they each had 10, then that Tribe would have consisted of 100 men.
While I do agree that many from the Northern Kingdom fled to Judah/Jerusalem at the time of Assyrian war, I don't think that was the reunification of the northern and southern kingdoms spoken of in Ezekiel 37 - because the northern kingdom was under Assyrian control.
Or, the divided kingdom ended with the Assyrian captivity, and the prophecy in Eze 37 is speaking of when Israel becomes not just a single kingdom, but more, a single kingdom under Messiah? What it tells me is that even though Israel was a single kingdom under Herod, the prophecy called for a kingdom not under Herod but rather, under Messiah. That is when the nation would be truly cleansed.
God made TWO KINGDOMS ONE.........how do is that done Doug my friend? By taking the remnant of the 10 Tribes that fled, and adding them to the Judah Kingdom, now all 12 tribes make up Israel and all live in Judea thus they were indeed one kingdom when Babylon toted them off, they were all 12 tribes living under ONE KING, in Judea.
WHY? When Israel were toted off by Rome they were ALL 12 Tribes right? We can call it Concrete, God cares not, when Israel were living in Judea when Jesus came he stated he came for Israel only, not half of Israel, but the whole nation he likened unto lost sheep. We know when they were regathered they were regathered as the Whole House of Israel, but they were also toted off as all 12 tribes.
With the Babylonian Captivity yes, Judah came to represent all 12 tribes, and ultimately under a single king. However, the prophecy in Eze 37 is talking about when the single Kingdom of Israel comes under the reign of Messiah. That has not yet been fulfilled.
Yes, it is about the end time also, but its a double entendre and has to be. If God gives a prophesy and it happened via the Assyrian's and it changed two kingdoms unto one, that is when God's prophesy came true, earlier in Ezekiel 37 we saw that one day Israel (Dry Bones) will will see their state of being changed, from Dead Dry Bones into sinew, but with no breath (holy spirit) in them, so yes, God brings Israel back into he land but God also led the into captivity, and called them dry bones, and a forsaken people, Paul says in Romans 11 that All Israel will be saved. And in Deuteronomy 30 God prophesied Israel would be led into captivity, then brought back into the land.
On May 14, 1948 Israel became an independent nation again, covering the areas of the northern and southern kingdoms.
That has no relevance at all to Israel being Israel, they were subjects of Rome, but Rome allowed self rule for most of their subjects (it was their way). Also, Israel were freed by Cyrus to go rebuild the wall/city of Jerusalem. Israel and the Maccabeans defeated Greece and for a 40 year period had self rule as Israel.
So, Israel was Israel at all times, even when subjugated they were one kingdom, Rome conquered Israel, who threw of Greece and ruled themselves for like 40ish years. The point is that prophesy was fulfilled long ago, if Babylon toted off ALL 12 Tribes (Israel) then God had already fulfilled His prophesy.
(in red) not correct.
Babylon did not take the ten tribe northern kingdom into captivity. It was the Assyrians that took the ten tribe northern kingdom into captivity, hundreds of years earlier.
Obfuscate, MUST WE? Really. The two Kingdoms were made one when Assyria attacked the Northern Kingdom and the refugees fled to Judea. All the rest is nothingness.
YES THEY DID..........God stated He FORSOOK those "Northern Kingdom PEOPLE" and thus the 10 tribes were the Refugees whop fled to Judea. So, all Israel, the 10 tribes plus the 2 were toted off to Babylon. Israel is not who you or I say they are but who God says they are. Why is this so hard to grasp? Its just like you saying the Jews accept the Anti-Christ as their Messiah, its not biblical brother, period.
Refugees from the northern kingdom fled into the kingdom of Judah - not into the kingdom of Israel.
Ezekiel 37, Ezekiel 38, Ezekiel 39 speaks about the reunification of the two kingdoms, two nations, and the messiah will be the king over the reunified nation. Did not happen in the first century. But will happen during the parable of the fig tree generation. Jesus will return soon to be the King over reunified Israel.
Is America a Kingdom? Is Trump a King?
