I hope for the Fullness of the Gentiles when we shall see the Blindness to Israel lifted and the door opened into the hope of THE WILL OF THE FATHER DONE on EARTH as it is in HEAVEN. The fullness of the promise to Israel of the kingdoms of the nations of the earth in which we ,the grafted ,show forth the praises of God. Isaiah 2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. The fruit of the Gospel Preached by the Disciples before they even knew of the Death of the Christ on the Cross ===== The Gospel of the KINGDOM of GOD ======== Mark 1:14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, I fear however that Iw ill not live long enough to see it. Prior to the return of Christ we must see Romans 11 fulfilled. Romans 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded 8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. However: Romans 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. 29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. Will I live to see the Promise to the Elect Nation Fullfilled.. I fear not! Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 2000 years has not been enough. Will it take 10,000 ? It does not matter as you have said. Time is of no matter to the Lord. Even 10,000 years but a moment when it is passed. But to us we are not unlike those who lived before the advent. They too earnestly desired to look into the timing of the things of the kingdom as it is written: 1 Peter 1:10 ¶ Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. We take comfort in this : 1 Thess 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. So if we pass away before all these things come to pass yet those who are alive shall not precede us but rather we shall rise First and be forever with the Lord in the Air. The prince of this world and all the fallen angels and servants of the dark one who stopped up their ears and did blaspheme day and night with them shall be banished forever . RE>>Man fell when he listened to the voice of the woman in the garden<< Now lest we fall into the sin of Adam and continue to blame the woman we must recall that the "woman" was willfully deceived but Adam chose the woman and the lust of this world OVER GOD with: ==== HIS EYES WIDE OPEN ! ==== 1 Timothy 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Have a Blessed Night. Brian
