Dan, thank you for your prayers. I have prepared a small response to you and I will be glad to answer further if you wish. Dan, I printed and read your post and I know what you are leading up to since you seem to have an Amillenarian interpretation of the Scriptures. Let me start off by asking you if you accept the fact that the book of Hebrews was by an unknown author and was addressed to the Hewbrews to confirm Jewish Christians by showing that O.T. Judaism had come to an end through the fulfillment by Christ of the whole purpose of the law; (2) to warn some who had identified themselves as Christians against (a) falling back into Judaism or (b) pausing short of true faith in Christ; and (3) to bring to the attention of Christians everywhere the pre-eminence of Jesus Christ. Hebrews contains a series of contrasts between the good things of Judaism and the better things of Christ. I mentioned earlier that Christ came to fulfill the promises made to the fathers (Abraham) and to also fulfill prophesy of the Old Testament. The promise of the land to the Israelis is in my opinion, literal, as the many repetitions of the promise always offers literal fulfillment. One of the aspects of the Abrahamic covenant was the promise of possession of the land. "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you." Genesis 12:1 Verse seven, upon Abraham's arrival in the Promised Land, God repeated the promise: "To your offspring I will give this land." From a dispensational viewpoint, we as born-again Gentiles and Messianic Jews, recognize the Mystery of Grace given to Paul by the glorified Christ, as the Word of God to us. We of course, worship Jesus in Spirit and know Him not after the flesh, as Paul makes clear that we are to follow the Gospel delivered to Paul and we are not to add or subtract from it, lest we be accursed. When the Gospel of Grace dispensation draws to a close, Jesus will resume His dealings with the Jews and the Kingdom promises to them. Regards, Santiago
