Keras beliefs make complete sense if you bypass the NT and the apostles. Which is precisely why the member who undercut Peter at Pentecost did so. He had to dump Peter to save 2P2P futurism.

Can someone translate this post for me. I can make no sense out of it.It's not abrogated as much as clarified as being Christocentric instead of land or Israel centered. Watch Is 40-66 how "Israel" turns into Messiah. See Acts 13:47. People become the light to the world that Christ is, by being in Him. The prophetic image finds its fulfillment in Christ not in external reality as we know it.
Yes the apostles believed they were living at the end of the ages. This, with the Thess material and Hebrews, is probably Paul factoring in the end of the 490 or the 70 sevens or the 70 ages. That's how he justified using the past tense about wrath on Israel in I Th 1. Along with Mt21-24. The prophesied morning star has arisen as light for the world.

No need to bother, the preterist element on this forum determinedly push their fallacious theory and clog up the threads.
We just have to be patient, because as the Bible says, those who hold to false beliefs, will become locked into them, Isaiah 29:9-2 and it will be only after the Lord's Day of wrath, that understanding will be given. Isaiah 29:24

The reason for mentioning Acts 13:47 is that it is how the conflict with Judaism is left. If Judaism doesn't see its new mission in Christ's Gospel, that's unfortunate, but there is conflict, there is no future as they knew it, and the future is the mission of the Gospel, back to what it had been all along with Abraham.
The OT prophecies sound like they are about the land and people as they knew it, but it reaches much further. It even says so:
It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes...
I will also make you a light for the Gentiles...
Is 49
But it is not as though we need it to say this so specifically. It keeps bursting past Israel, and then when the apostles quote these things, they confirm that.

Keras had mentioned 1 Cor 10 (do you read previous posts?). "the end of the ages" was the generation of the apostles. I said when you put/merge that with Heb 9, and Paul in Thess, I believe Paul is saying it is the end of the 490. He even asserts that the final wrath on Israel is past tense.
All this is very, very different from what you've heard in 2P2P.
The covenant of Rom 11 is not future. It was future to Isaiah, but that's Christ and his Gospel. Paul is using that verse historically. It had come. The Redeemer to Zion, taking away sins, the covenant--that is the Gospel. All of the believing Israel will be saved because they believe that. Rom 11 is not about a future state government at all.
What if the "land" they were expecting after exile was not of this earth? after all heb 11 says the members of the "hall of faith" were not looking for anything on this earth anyway!
It is very common for the prophets to express a future day in terms people could understand in the 6th or 4th century BC, but didn't realize that it would take on another fulfillment in Christ, as had the prior verses, which are officially interpreted by the apostles in Acts 15.
If the NT doesn't say how a passage was used, move on. There are 2500 uses of the OT by the NT, so there is plenty of material to work with.
If you like to chuckle, then try Acts 15's use of Amos 9. The "raised up fallen tent of David" is the Gentiles coming to faith in the Gospel!
lol?
In Acts 15:13-17 James is saying that after the calling out of the church Christ would return and set up the earthly kingdom. He uses Amos 9:11-15 as the basis for saying this.There is nothing about the 2nd coming of Christ at the Jerusalem conference. You're afraid of this passage because the plan of the Lord is said to be known for ages past, and that includes the Gospel to the nations, which Paul says everywhere.
for ex, just check Rom's intro again. God promised his gospel beforehand through his prophets in the Scriptures. It is the one gospel about his Son who is also the son of David. His son would be declared by the event of the resurrection to be the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the one Gospel for all time according Rom 1.
It completely wastes your D'ist theory of multipile gospels down through time.
