Brian, I ask this with much sincerity. Do you actual see such instruction in the Word. I think between Jesus Christ while in a human body, Jesus Christ going to his death very obviously, and Jesus Christ risen and saying goodby for literally 2,000 years, do you suppose that He would have instructed all of his followers to be sure to realize the history of Isreal and the Jews of the prophesies were no longer to be literally interpreted. I believe that if there is need to change all prophesies over to say, America in l998, and pretend and fit all scripture to America in l998, that it would have been very necessary for God to have instructed millions and millions of people to follow to do just that. Or else Paul has spelled it out lest we stumble in error.
But to leave prophesy as given in Holy scipture and then to infer that on our own and with our blinding intelligence should realize that Isreal was not Isreal proper, and that such prophesies should now follow the non-Jewish believers whereever on the earth they ended up, this seems to be choatic and contradictory.
Since I believe every word of God, could you please show me the exact scriptures where you feel Jesus Christ or Paul or Peter OR my beloved John, who I read above all men in the Bible, where they instructed us to do this rather radical departure from actual scripture. And how it was to be done, and who was to do the interpreting, also would help me.
Thank you Brian, because I can't find that instruction, and see things which indicate no such instruction was actually given per se. Clue me in here please. |
