Don't you find it interesting that Israel is central in the Bible, that they disappeared as a nation for hundreds of years, and then returned, worshipping the same God in the same way, and speaking the same language that they always have?
Interesting that of the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel (all roughly contemporaries), the first is mentioned by name in the NT, the second referenced (at the Last Supper with Christ mentioning Jeremiah's New Covenant), while Ezekiel and Daniel are only alluded to with the title "Son of Man," Ezekiel being a priest and Daniel not.
It doesn't sound like you're too interested in prophecy....am I wrong?
How do you state that when I am showing prophecy to make a point? Shame on you.
These days, I often scan through comment sections on sites like Gateway Pundit, Breitbart, etc., as well as various Twitter threads, and I dare say it unfortunately seems like the "Let's all hate and vilify the Jews!" sentiment is getting a little louder and more frequent. The idea of a "Jewish global conspiracy" seems to be trying to gain more popular traction, especially against the backdrop--and as a pretended explanation--of the horrendous, widespread evil, corruption and injustice we currently see dominating in both American and world affairs. Though, to be honest, I as of yet sadly lack the depth and breadth of detailed Bible learning as regards endtimes events and chronology, that might allow me to judge competently whether or not such a trend has any necessary connection to where we presently are on the general pretrib "prophetic calendar".
I agree. They will go through tribulation as the Lord purges them of evil. But the restoration of Israel is done by God at the end.
Don't try to heap any shame on me. It simply won't stick.
I'm wondering what would happen if the Lord didn't come. Satan certainly seems to be in control of this world, at the moment. Artificial Intelligence, lawlessness abounding, and all the other signs that are increasing with each passing day. There seems to be a great battle for the souls of men.
Does Israel’s law apply to the body of Christ yes or no?Don't try to heap any shame on me. It simply won't stick.
I went fishing for your point, remember? "Maybe you just disagree, but maybe it's because you're confident church will be gone (raptured), and the prophecies concerning the last days pertain to Israel and not the church? "
Atta girl!
The Rapture and the Second Coming are two distinct events. The Rapture has always been imminent, but the Second Coming takes place only after certain events occur as we see in Matthew 24: 29,30:
As Paul makes it clear that there will be no murderers, liars, thieves, or adulterers, etc., going to heaven, (Gal 5, Eph 5), it seems some of the Israeli Laws are in still in effect for NT converts.
Does the law of Israel apply to you or not? Do you do and observe what the pharisee says to do and observe? Do you sacrifice a bull without blemish? Do you apply the law of Israel to you?
What is the point of this question to his statement about the Body 's events and scripture/prophecy for Israel?
Hi Nick.
