Consider this. There are two human beings that have not died. First there is Enoch. He walked with God and was no more. He represents the church and never dies. Know that those that are living at the return of Christ will be changed in the twinkle of an eye and will rise to join Jesus, ever to be with him. Next there is Elijah who was taken to heaven in a chareot of fire. He will return to earth in the 70th week of Danial. Now there was Moses, who did die, but was buried by God. You will recall that satan disputed with Michael over the body of Moses. That means that Moses has never desended into Paradise and his body has not seen corruption. As you know corruption cannot be in the presence of God. Remember also that Moses did not enter into the holly land, yet he was promise entry. Now it makes sence that Moses, the law giver, is the second witness in the 70th week. The fact that both witnesses come to live after three days lying dead in the streets, is witness to gods promise of resurection. Jesus said that every page of the scripture is written of him. If you look, you will find him there. One can critism the scripture without a thourgh understanding of what it is and what it says. If you are to understand you must, first look for Jesus. If you can't find him there, your vision my be blurred by prior conditioning, misconseption, or just simply resistance. Rabinical thinking, in the true since is helpful. Certainly the Jews did not see Christ, but they did see God. They were denied the privilege of seeing Jesus in order that the law could be given and Gentiles could be redeamed. They did there responsibility of bringing forth the law and giving living proof that the law cannot save. After the rapture, Jews do recognize Jesus as the messiah. You will note that in revelation (no 's') that the Jews send out 144,000, 12,000 from each tribe. Where did they send them. To the gentiles, of course. That explains why the anti-christ causes the entire world to make war unone Israel, only one little nation. When the war is being faught, Isreal prays, as a nation for the return of Christ, who does return and is installed on the King of David. Study Revelation with this thought in mind and you will be surprised at the revelation knowled you will recieve. Thanks.
