"only a faithful remnant would be left by whom the promises would be fulfilled"
That faithful remnant was the Apostles and disciples along with tens of thousands of first century Jews who accepted Jesus as their Messiah and established the Christian Church. These Jewish evangelists went forth from Jerusalem and converted the world to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Jesus Christ, and thus fulfilled the prophecies. How can anyone read the Gospels, Acts, the Epistle's of Paul, John and Peter, and the Christian history of the first three centuries and not understand this elementary fact about the New Covenant? To attempt to return to the old covenant is to deny that God has already fulfilled Jeremiah 31: "31": Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
"32": Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
"33": But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Paul tells us in Hebrews 13 that Jesus fulfilled the old covenant: "13": In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. Read all of Hebrew 8, particularly 8: 8-13.
History is sacred because it is first necessary to know history if one is to understand the hand of God in human history! There is NO other way for us to judge whether or not certain scriptures have been fulfilled. Ignorance of history and the early teachings of the Apostles, disciples and fathers of the Church cause the Christian Zionist to go into serious heresy. Because of this ignorance, they attempt to drag fulfilled prophecies from the past into the future and look for another fulfillment. ('my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge')
The modern Christian Zionist heresy is satanic and attempts to Judaize Christians and resurrecting already fulfilled scriptures in an attempt to revive the dead old covenant. The doctrine that the old covenant will still be fulfilled in the future comes from the rabbinical teachings in the Talmud that reject Jesus as the Messiah and focus on a future fulfillment.
How will these modern antichrist rabbis recognize the Messiah when he returns? Will they use the already fulfilled prophecies? Will Jesus once more be born of virgin? Will Jesus once more be crucified for the sins of mankind? Will Jesus once more be born in Bethlehem, take sanctuary in Egypt and then return to Nazareth? NO, no ,no ! Jesus will return in power to judge! So according to the Christian Zionist heresy, the modern antichrist rabbis are left without a means to identify Jesus when he returns because they deny that Jesus has already fulfilled these prophecies! |
