James,
<<What I want to know is do you believe that God will
restore the land to Israel and David and his line of decendants upon His Second
Coming? I see no absurdity that God can resurrect David's line and restore them.>>
We are David's line. Yes ,Jesus will come again in His physical body to execute judgement this time. He will establish His physical Kingdom, it's center will be Jerusalem. The inhabitants of Jerusalem will be US!! We are God's chosen people.
<<At least God will offer them Salvation. If for some ridiculous reason they refused the
King in all His glory I suppose then some would not be restored.>>
They were all offered salvation when they were alive. If they are alive when Jesus returns and still on the earth then they were not raptured which means they took the mark of the beast and separated themselves from God forever. They will get no amnesty when Jesus comes again. Anyone whether they call themselves Jews or not they have decided their own fate by that time.
<<There also will rise 144,000 Jewish Priests that will bring the opportunity to all living
Jews to repent and give their hearts to Jesus.>>
Rev 14:1-5 seems to show these 144,000 are before the throne of God in heaven singing with the Lord before Jesus returns to the earth for Judgement and before the time I think is the rapture. These 144,000 are born again believers also.
<<I love to study about the Second Coming of Christ but my belief is that all born
again Christians will be raptured and in Heaven prior to the Lord's Second Coming. Who do you think the clouds of Saints are that will return with Him? We will, my
friend.>>
WE AGREE, We will return with Him. We will be taken up just before the wrath of God is poured out, then the wrath, then Jesus returns with us with Him. I know you think we will be taken up much sooner, God forbid we will suffer the tribulation, it's just so unamerican!! <ggg> Sorry, couldn't resist.
