As I understand it, God never changes and his word stands forever. The old testiment is not done away with. The Jews still live under it. The word has not changed, but there is a new covenant, that is with believers. When the Jews accept Jesus as the masiah, they to will come under the new covenant. However, there is different treatment of the Jews during the milinium, but the Jew is not forsaken by the Lord. Consider this. When the rapture comes, there will be total confusion throught the world. All believers will be taken. The U.S. government will fall. There will be no food available. None will be raised and none will be delivered. There will be no fuel available, for there will be no production. Every thing as we know it will be mass confusion. This provides the way for a strong man to gain power. The Bible says that he will be extremely inteliglent. I suspect that he will gain control of the computer that has every living person incoded on it. This is how he can control the distribution of necessities. This is how he will enforce the mark of the beast. If you don't promise alilgence to his you don't get included in the distribution of necessities. I suspect that the story of Joseph who advise the king to store a portion of each years food during the years of plenty for use in the years of famine, has some direct teachings for the plight of humanity during the years after the rapture. Worth studying.
Consider this also. After the rapture, the Jews know that Jesus is the masiah. As I stated earlier, why in the world (pun intended) would the entire world, (a world controled by the anti christ) bother with a little nation like Isreal? It makes sence when we read in the Bible that the Jews send out 144,000 thousand. To do what? Where do they go? They go into the world to preach the gospel, of course. That of course is a direct chalange to the anti christ. That explains also the treaty with Isreal, that and probably because Isreal is the only nation on earth that still raises food. You do, of course know that Isreal is rapidly becoming one of the worlds leading producers and exportors of foods. The anti christ needs the food supply. He tricks Isreal into siging a covenant. Three and half years later, probable after he has caused some form of world government and ecominic organization, he breaks his agreement with the Jews and performs the untimate sacrilige by slaughtering a pig in the temple. I suspect he he feel that he no longer needs the Jews and sets out to turn the world against them as did Hitler and others throughout history, and now seeks to destroy them to prevent from continuing to preach the gospel. Some thoughts you might want to consider. Of course there is much more to it, but this gives you something to think about. Remember that the Jew was selected to show the world that God is. He had intended that the Jews be delivered into the land of milk and honey, but their human nature always prevented them from fulfilling their charge. Now, after the rapture, they see the consequences of faith. When millions of believers in Christ dissapear from the face of the earth at the same instant of time, all over the world, and the world is sent into caos, those who know the bible can have little doubt but that Jesus is massiah of Isreal, and they believe. Once they believe, they want to fulfill their charge. Thanks. |
