<<Eze 39:29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD. >>

The pouring out of the spirit is also mentioned in Joel

And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. Joel 2:27-28

Who was the Spirit poured out upon? To find the answer we go to the New Testament

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.... Acts

When the crowds wanted to know what was happening Peter stood up and proclaimed.

But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel. - Acts 2:16

Then Peter said unto them, Repent , and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38

For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Acts 2:39

Jesus, as well as Ezekiel, Joel and Peter are not limiting this outpouring to the Israel whose house has been declared desolate, but for all persons whom God Himself has chosen. Why? Because the church never truly belonged to Israel, it always belonged to God.

At one time the church was under the care of the nation Israel as shown in the parable of the householder which planted the vineyard. But what were the results when the owner (God) wanted to recieve some of the fruit of the harvest?

1 They beat one
2 They killed one
3 They stoned another
4 They killed the son

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem which killeth the prophets -The words of Jesus

Jesus confronted the officials with this question.

When the lord therefore of the vineyared cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? Matt 21:40

The men justly condemned themselves with their reply.

They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. Matt 21:41

These words have come to pass. The gospel of Jesus Christ has been proclaimed by faithful husbandmen for nearly two thousand years now.

Why are you trying to convince people that God wants to give it back to the evil husbandmen?
