Revelation 20:12 We see the book of life opened, when will this take place?I try not to deal in interpreting passages whose meaning is questionable. I specialize in explicitly stated scriptures.
Your insistence for only ethnic Israel to be the people that are saved and who will occupy all the holy Land, is refuted by many scriptures:When you deny all this, you are denying explicitly stated scripture, not an interpretation of what some scripture means.
You push Messianic, and suggest Jerusalem is the current Holy land?I have a different view.
Our Messiah is a JEW... the lion from the tribe of Judah. (Jew is the shortened form of Judean)
Our Lord preached to JEW first...then later to gentiles.
So to me we have Messianic Jews (all the apostles), and Messianic gentile (called Christians today).
Lets look at this now..."then let those in Judea flee to the mountains".
Yes the location was the holy land (Judea) but ONLY believers in our Lord fled.
"then let those (brothers) in Judea flee to the mountains".
So believers in our Lord, Messianic Jew and Messianic gentiles...are today's nation of JUDEA !!!
Now understand Isaiah 2; "Concerning JUDAH (believers in Jesus) and Jerusalem (holy land) in the final part of the days.
As for the Jews in Israel today... the only salvation for them is the same as it was at 66-70ce, and that is to become Messianic Jews, who OBEY Jesus to flee.
Now Jew's becoming Messianic Jews is happening very fast...a huge end time sign.
Christians today are far removed from their Jewish roots, so to me Messianic Jews must not become like the divided, pagan filled "Christians" of today, but rather we true Christians should be as Messianic Jews. "Take hold of the skirt of the Jew".
For end time this is confirmed at Malachi 4.
Yep...ALL YHWH's laws and statutes. "Christian Jews" !!!
Again today... only believers will flee and survive, the Jews will fight and loose Jerusalem where the "disgusting thing" will stand.
Yes...I believe in the greater EXODUS worldwide BEFORE the great tribulation... NOT a man made pretrib rapture.
Yes, we do believe that Jerusalem and the holy Land is God's special place, because God say's it is: Deuteronomy 11:12, Isaiah 49:14-21You push Messianic Judaism, and suggest Jerusalem is the current Holy land?
There is neither Jew Nor Greek, ethnic heritage has nothing to do with God, he is no respector of person.
Jerusalem is currently the "Unholy Land" likened to Sodom and Egypt Revelation 11:8 as Judaism is heavily involved in the Talmud and Occultic Kaballah, not to mention gay pride parades marching in its streets.
I agree with you position that christians will be in Mt Zion, the Holy Land?Yes, we do believe that Jerusalem and the holy Land is God's special place, because God say's it is: Deuteronomy 11:12, Isaiah 49:14-21
It is currently occupied by apostate and unbelieving Jewish and Ishmaelite peoples. They will all be 'uprooted' and removed in the forthcoming Lord's Day of wrath:
Jeremiah 12:14-16 These are the Words of the Lord: I am against all those evil neighbours who have encroached onto the Land that My Israelite people will inherit. Take note; I will pluck them out from where they are now and also I will pluck out the House of Judah as well. After I have removed them, I will Return and have compassion on them, bringing them back to their heritage, if they will diligently learn the way of My people, to only swear by My Name: the Living God. But if they refuse, then I will completely remove and destroy them. Luke 19:27
This Bible passage is extremely informative, it gives the Lord’s plans for three groups of people.
1/ The evil neighbours; The Islamic nations and entities surrounding Israel. Soon to be cleared out of the entire Middle East region by the terrible Day of the Lord’s wrath by fire from the sun. Psalms 83:1-18, Isaiah 30:25-30, Amos 1:1-11, 2:1-5
2/ The House of Judah, the Jewish people, currently inhabiting a part of the holy Land. The same fate as the neighbours, but a remnant will be saved. Isaiah 6:11-13, Zechariah 13:8-9
3/ My people; the true Israelites of God, every Christian believer; individuals from every tribe, race, nation and language. Revelation 5:9-10, 1 Peter 2:9-10
The story described here, is clear and concise: The Lord is about to solve all the Middle East problems, to a similar degree as how He reset civilization in Noah’s time. All the holy land will be depopulated, Jeremiah 10:18, Zephaniah 1:18, excepting for a small remnant of Messianic Jews who will shelter in bunkers in Jerusalem. Isaiah 29:4
This will allow the gathering and settling of His righteous Christian people into their heritage where they will, at last be the people He always wanted there; a people who will be His witnesses and display His light to the nations. Isaiah 43:10, Isaiah 49:8
For end time this is confirmed at Malachi 4.
Yep...ALL YHWH's laws and statutes. "Christian Jews" !!!
Thanks, Allenbee, we are in agreement that Christians will occupy all the holy Land. If you care to look back, its not too far, at the thread of that name here, you will see the prophesies proving that fact.Now there is much debate about these VERY important scriptures for earthly ones like myself;
Rev 7;9-17;
Thank you so much BA Berean...and both videos very good.
I do find Messianic Jews pretty split though, and I obviously agree with the "flee to the mountains"teachers, as with the 1st one, and the good conclusion of the 2nd...for the Millennium.
I am in the hell of South Africa (Durban), and can you help me find Messianic Jews here please ?
Or just a link please. (I'm assuming you are a Messianic Jew )?
Isaiah 65:17-19, Isaiah 66:22, and Revelation 22:1-5 are the "Eternal Kingdom", in the New Heaven, Earth, and Jerusalem.Thank you Keras, so rare to find agreement, pleased to read you... and this is spot on Truth7t7;
"I agree with you position that christians will be in Mt Zion, the Holy Land"?
Yes agreed... the Lord rules over the whole earth referred to as Mt ZION, or even Jerusalem as at Isaiah 66, or "the city of our God"....HIS footstool.
He also rules over all the NATIONS of the world, so although there will be unity of belief as ONE, there still will be nations like; Chinese, Indian, Europeans, Africans, Arabs etc etc. BUT... HIS headquarters is the holy land, where He returns to according to scripture.
Now there is much debate about these VERY important scriptures for earthly ones like myself;
Rev 7;9-17;
9 After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of [all] tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before* the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands; 10 and they cry with a great voice, saying, Salvation unto our God who sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels were standing round about the throne, and [about] the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 12 saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, [be] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, These that are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and whence came they?
14 And I say unto him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they that come of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before* the throne of God; and they serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall spread his tabernacle over them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun strike upon them, nor any heat: 17 for the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall guide them unto fountains of waters of life: and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.
The debate is about the BEFORE*...implying these ones are in heaven.
Now the Greek to English reads... "In sight of the throne and in sight of the Lamb".
So I believe this shows these ones are on earth and survived the 6th seal at Rev 6 which clearly is the great tribulation...cut short or no flesh would be left alive.
MORE than that...I believe they are in sight of the SIGN of our Lord's presence, just as survivors of the nations are who mourne.
29 But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
and they (believers) cry with a great voice, saying, Salvation unto our God who sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb... as we have separated to the mountain of the house of HYWH... WORLDWIDE ! Rev 18;4 "GET OUT of her my people". OUT of Babylon the great harlot (false religion) AND... OUT of Babylon the great CITY. (Satans evil world today).... OR else...you will share in her sins and TOTAL destruction !!! Get it ? As for me I hate the way of this world and how the poor suffer and die. I Hallalujah it's destruction and NEVER to rise again.
Isaiah 2;
The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 And many peoples shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem. (Messianic Jew leaders in ISRAEL...AND they already are there).
I find the peace of v 1-3 shows this is BEFORE the Great Trib, THEN 4-5 is during the GT and up to our Lord's presence. (Open to debate IF there is better news)
NOW please read 6-22 the great tribulation on unbelieving Jews and gentiles.
Compare v10-21 to Rev 6; 6th seal...the great tribulation...now SEE we are not there even BEFORE the GT kicks in. Read the beautiful v 1-3 again please.
"Jesus Will Dwell Amongst The Righteous"Jesus wont return to earth and hang out with mortal humans, he warned the believers against this teaching in Matthew 24:23-27
The fact that there has been and still are false Messiahs, does not preclude the arrival of the real Messiah. Just as Jesus said: He would Return; in the same way as He left. Acts 1:11
Believing that Jesus will never Return, is a seriously bad and unscriptural idea, that conflicts with the Christian hope of God's promise of His dwelling amongst all faithful believers. 2 Thessalonians 1:10
You still have not yet learned what 2 Peter 3 teachesIsaiah 65:17-19, Isaiah 66:22, and Revelation 22:1-5 are the "Eternal Kingdom", in the New Heaven, Earth, and Jerusalem.
Jesus wont return to earth and hang out with mortal humans, he warned the believers against this teaching in Matthew 24:23-27
Sorry I did not realize this would be so hard for you to understandAgain today... only believers will flee and survive, the Jews will fight and loose Jerusalem where the "disgusting thing" will stand.
Yes...I believe in the greater EXODUS worldwide BEFORE the great tribulation... NOT a man made pretrib rapture.
