2 Timothy 4:17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me,
and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known,
and that ALL the Gentiles might hear:
and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
Does that ALL mean all Alan?
Romans 15:27 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are.
For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things,
their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
That verse was concerning the ministering to the Jews who did
experience revival before the end. The famine was very severe
and gentiles were called upon to help them out.
Romans 15:10 And again he saith,
Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
Paul quotes that verse to show that God had planned
to blind Israel from the gospel for a 'short period'
to drive out the apostles into the gentile world.
Alan - this is a classic verse showing the hard heartedness
of the Jews to even hear (carnally) the gospel.
This was that "blindness" that was "in part"
but not completely designed to drive them out
to preach to the Gentiles
Acts 18:6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed,
he shook his raiment, and said unto them,
Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean:
from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
These verse are not verses that were intended to cover thousands of years....
31 Even so have these also now not believed,
that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
Same Generation - not a future one.
Not this generation has NOW not believed so that through
YOUR mercy a FUTURE GENERATION may obtain mercy.
That is to butcher the scripture |
