Good morning Brian and all who love the Lord Jesus Christ. <<< God also still has a purpose concerning nations and Israel.>>> Indeed He surely does and it is precisely this; " Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. ". Jesus Christ has fullfilled all prophesy at Calvary, the scriptures you quote have been fullfilled. You are looking for an earthly kingdom as are many " sleeping " Christians, however. the kingdom that God has established at Calvary is a Spiritual Kingdom made up of all who have been " born again " by the Spirit of God. Jesus Himself stated that His Kingdom was not from this world. You are part of this Kingdom now, to look for an earthly kingdom violates the integrity of the sacred scriptures. Pauls message in Romans 11:26, " and thus all Israel shall be saved. " implies that " in this manner," that is, through Jesus Christ alone is Salvation. That is the only hope for Israel. Israel by biblical defintion means " overcome by God"." These were the people of God in the Old Testament but now since Calvary, " Israel " includes both Jews and Gentiles, one united peoples called the Church, the Body of Christ. <<< Abrahams Nation will be set above all nations again but this time in Christ and not in pride.>>> We already are set above all earthly nations............We are the Church. Eph.2:6 " AND RAISED US UP WITH HIM, AND SEATED US WITH HIM IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES, IN CHRIST JESUS. ". Abrahams nation or family has always been people of faith both in the Old and New Covenants, that is " faith in the promised Messiah, Jesus the Christ. This nation from Calvary is here now and is called the Church and is made up of all peoples from all nations who God has called into fellowship with Himself through our Lord Jesus Christ. Hal Lindsey, Scoefield, and multiple others have deceived many Christians into believing this " garbage", that God has some special favour with the present day apostate nation of Israel. That lie is born in the darkened minds of men who twist and distort the Word of God. Failure to properly understand the Old and New Covenants and who are the people of God ( ISRAEL ) will and is a large part of the problem. I know that the first part of that statement is true concerning you my brother because you do not understand the permancy of the marriage covenant made between man and woman marriage. You gave me " your " own view what you believed the scriptures say. As I stated previously to you , the Bible teaches that marriage is until death and that divorce is man made and certainly not of God. Anyway that is an all together different topic to what we are discussing. I commend you for your strong stand you take for our Lord Brian, but I believe you owe Dan an apology................please think about that for awhile. May God always strenthen you by His might in the " inner man " that you may see and do His work He has called you to do. Robert |
