If one wants to be the apple of God's eye, they must call upon the name of His Son Jesus Christ. To the extent that the unbelieving Jews do not this, rather seeking to establish their own righteousness apart from Jesus Christ, they are children of the devil. Why then do you pray to a dead man?

Cyprian, OK. Let me broaden my original question about the Jews and their geographical land of promise to these examples of things I would like to know from the Orthodox church: 1. When Jesus returns physically as the glorified King, where will He be found on the earth? In other words, what will be His address? 2. Does the Orthodox church believe in a literal Millennium as stated in Revelation 20? 3. Does the Orthodox church believe in the literal renewal of the earth under the reign of the returned Messiah which produces such effects as lions and other predatory animals becoming tame and herbivorous as stated in Isaiah 11? 4. Will be a time in earth's future when the nations will not wage war any more as stated in Isaiah 2:4 and Micah 4:3? 5. Will the tree of life, which was barred from man by Adam's sin, grow again on the earth for the benefit of the nations? If so, where will this tree be found? 6. What is the meaning of the descriptions of the temple and its service; the river that begins in that temple that flows into the land toward the dead sea and the Mediterranean sea and the parallel strips of land divided among the tribes of Israel that we find in Ezekiel 40-48? Does the Orthodox church see this literally? 7. Does the Orthodox church see the 144,000 as literal Jews from the 12 tribes listed in Revelation 7:4-8? I am not necessarily asking you to answer these personally unless you are so inclined. I am really looking for the official position of the Orthodox church on such eschatological questions. Thank you for any help you can provide. Stan
