Yes, so when you read the book of Matthew, always recognize that Jesus was only sent to Israel during that time.
So whatever he is saying, don't just apply it to the Body of Christ without further thinking.
I take what Christ said in Matthew 15:24 literally, but if you don't wish to, that is up to you.
I haven't interpret anything it's all written in the Bible clean. Did you know that there are three heavens God created. First heaven is the Earth, Second heaven is where the firmaments , Sun, Moon, Stars, Clouds, even Space. The Third heaven is above all that, is where our Father, Jesus and the angels are.
The prophet Isaiah told of how Jesus was to restore Israel and become a light unto the Gentiles. Isaiah (49:6) And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
That's my point, I am taking what Lord Jesus said there literally, it's just that I'm more familiar with the Bible history about Israel than you are. After God split old Israel into two separate kingdoms in Solomon's days, only the ten tribes of the northern kingdom was known as the "house of Israel".
Already stated Matthew 15:24.
If that is not enough, Romans 15:8 and Mark 7:27
Gentiles = dogs, uncircumcised
Israel = the circumcised, the children.
Well teh first heaven is our atmosphere. not planet earth!
And I have no problem with any of these verses.
It would be a blessing if you read the book and post scriptures to prove your point, if that's the case.
In the scriptures it's written in Genesis 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Simple math, not the third heaven, right. Can't be the first heaven, because it's given light to the earth, which is the first heaven. So, this have to be the second heaven.
Now let take a look at the first heaven here in Genesis 6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
As long as you agree that there are no Gentiles in the House of Israel, we are at the same page.
Rapture vs 2nd coming.
All I know is we are going to die one day. God is going to take us up with him. We will be judged, and God will give us a spiritual body as he deems fit for us to have.
Is it good to be ready for the day of death? Why would you say it would not be?
Can't totally agree with that simply because the majority of the "house of Israel", i.e., the lost ten tribes of Israel, became as Gentiles, living among Gentiles. And when it was time, The Gospel was preached to them 'among' the Gentiles, and both received Christ Jesus and became His Church, together. And thus the Isaiah prophecies about Israel inheriting the Gentiles has come to pass, and the only thing left is Christ's coming to gather them, both, to the lands promised to Israel's fathers. All this of course is according to Apostle Paul's Epistles too.
When asked, what is a Gentile, it is commonly answered anyone who is not Jewish. Most modern day Christians are taught that they are Gentiles. So who or what is a Gentile?
According to the Bible, Gentile are a lineage of people. All of the Europeans (the people commonly referred to as white or Caucasian) are Gentiles. We will identify these people through the scriptures in Genesis.
Genesis 10:1-5 - "Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal , and Meshech, and Tiras. And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. And the sons of Javan; Elishah,and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations". The sons of Japheth are the people known as Gentiles. Now lets break down these families: Gomer (Celtics), Magog (Russia), Madai (Medes), Javan (Greece, Syria), Tubal (south of the Black Sea, Spain), Meshech (Russia), Tiras (Thracians).
I disagree with that Davy. Because of believing the kingdom of God is with-in each believer now known as the holy spirit, spirit of God, spirit of Christ. The Heavenly Jerusalem is in heaven not on earth. (Not going to argue about it here or anything though) You are most entirely allowed to express your viewpoints on how you see things which is fine.
We are most certainly going to die on this earth however. We will leave and go onward to the heavenly Jerusalem with and where God, and Christ reside.
Thank you for your reply and you have a nice day sir!

That's not correct, because Jesus had a specific lineage back to the man Adam (Luke 3). Likewise with the different branches from Noah's three sons.
And the name Caucasian originated from the peoples that crossed the Caucasus mountains when migrating across the Black Sea, and became known as Europeans. Translations from the Assyrian tablets in the 1930's by professor Leroy Waterman has shown the connection of those Cimmerians and Scythian Caucasians who migrated from the east around the Black Sea into Asia Minor and Europe linked with the ten scattered tribes of the house of Israel (ten tribes) that went captive to Assyria and the land of the Medes. Those were never Jews. The Jews are represented by the "house of Judah", the title of Jew itself is derived from Judah.
In Deuteronomy 4 & 28 God promised Israel that if they rebelled He would scatter them among the Gentiles. That in itself shows their separateness by God Himself. They rebelled, and He scattered them among the Gentiles. But Amos 9 He promised He would sift the "house of Israel" among the nations, and not the least grain would fall to the ground.
You just read who are the Gentiles in Genesis 10th Chapter. If you don't believe the Bible, then why post other scriptures from the Bible? If there's something else you don't understand, sure we can talk about. After the flood, Noah Son's are those who we came out of as people and nation. Read the whole chapter.
