"And I'm talking specifically about Israel. It would be ashame, and you would miss out of many blessings God has for you in your lifetime on this earth, IMO." Hi Steve, Thanks for your concern that I may miss some of God's blessing if I don't accept the false dispensational theories about modern Judaism and modern Israel, but I think I prefer sticking to Jesus for my blessing...they are more certain and complete. Salvation in Christ lacks nothing. Christ has already set up His Kingdom and now reigns in it. We have been raised up with Him in newness of life and have no interest in the wordly kingdoms of men. I am complete in Christ and lack nothing spiritually. I find that Christ is complete and that his perfect scarifice is what gives me my blessings and not some wild dispensational theories by Darby's, Scofield's and Theodor Herzl that remove the focus and glory of salvation from Christ and attempt to transfer it to modern Judaism and their carnal and antichrist kingdom in Palestine. Jesus is not divided and the Spiritual focus of world history is not on modern Zionist Israel, but rather on Jesus Christ and his Body, the holy Chirstian Church. The worldly forces and spirit may direct mens attention to false kingdoms, but their remains only one KINGDOM OF GOD .The only citizens of this Kingdom are washed in the Blood of Jesus. Here are a few Scriptures that may help you understand where I get my thoughts about this subject. 2 Corinthians 1:20For all the promises of God in him [Jesus] yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. Ga 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Chris Gal.3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are y Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Col 2 3. In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.... ..6. As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him: ..8. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of me, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Love in Chirst Emile
