Greetings Jane, << The Romans killed Jesus..... >> Let us allow the Word of God to speak on this, 1 THESS. 2:14-16, the Apostle Paul is speaking, " For you , brethren, became imitiators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, for you also endured the same suffering at the hands of YOUR OWN COUNTRYMEN even as they did, from the JEWS, WHO BOTH KILLED THE LORD JESUS AND THE PROPHETS, and drove us out. THEY (JEWS) ARE NOT PLEASING TO GOD, BUT HOSTILE TOWARD ALL MEN, hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles, that they might be saved; with the result that they always fill up the measure of their sins. BUT WRATH HAS COME UPON THEM TO THE UTMOST ". Jane, You are being influenced by the powers of darkness in some of your responses such as this one. I believe that you know in your heart the truth on this subject but you are opening your self up to great deception by listening to certain people, namely Alan, who twists and distorts most responses from many brothers and sisters who desire him to be liberated from the bondage he is unaware he is entrapped by. The true Israel of God is the Church, made up of Jew and Gentiles. To say that God has a specific purpose for a piece of real estate on the mediterranean is to totally fail to understand the Old and New Covenant. The Old Covenant can only be interpreted in light of the New Covenant. The Lord Jesus Christ is that " Light " and from Calvary on He rules and reigns His creation forevermore. Satan was bound at the cross and is sitting on " death row " awaiting his finally destiny. May God grant you freedom in His Son, in whom we belong too. Robert |
