Goes deeper that that my friend. Apocalyptic scripture isn't just shoot Jews. It's global. That double application is localised in the OT, to Jerusalem, but globally applying to all God's people... The church... In the NT. And it isnt the only prophecy that can apply in that fashion.
How do you know that?
I mean, I believe that God controls whether we live or die. But the vision Ezekiel saw was then, about them, the residents of Jerusalem. God was showing him something.
There is the seal of the Holy Spirit that we receive. The Jews will later, 144,000 of them, receive a seal from God on their foreheads. That will exempt them from the locust things from the pit.
When you say, "apocalyptic scripture", are you then referring to the genre known as "Hebrew Apocalyptic"?
Mostly I'm interested in, what is the foundation to say that while is speaks of Jerusalem, it actually refers to others as well?
Much love!
