The Lord WILL destroy with fire, but we baptize with water.
Isaiah 26:20-21....
Go, "My people", withdraw for a little while, until the Lords wrath has passed. The Lord is coming to punish the wicked and apostate peoples of the earth.
Isaiah 27:2-5 On that day, sing of the fruitful vineyard – I the Lord am it’s keeper. I tend it constantly, but I get no fruit from it. If only it were briars and thorns, then I would not hesitate to destroy it. But if they ["Israelites, now every faithful Christian person"] come to Me for refuge, I will let them make peace with Me.
Isaiah 27:12 In that day, the Lord will thresh the grain from the Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt and you, "Israelites" will be gathered one by one. On that Day, a great trumpet will sound and those who were exiled in Assyria and Egypt will come to worship the Lord in Jerusalem.
Ref: REB, NIV some verses abridged
V 20-21 "We" are told to take cover, as the Lord sends fire to destroy His enemies.
All righteous people, faithful Christians who love the Lord, need to prepare for a time, soon after the Lords Day of vengeance, when the Call comes to gather into the Promised Land. Isaiah 35:1-10, Ezekiel 34:11-16, Romans 9:24-26
"My people"?
"Israelites now Every faithful Christian person?"
"Israelites?"
"We are told to take cover?"
Israel is Gods People.
Israelites are not now Christians.
Christians are not now Israelites.
Converted IN Christ Jesus are Christ's People.
IN Jerusalem, it WILL be Two Jewish Witness Preaching Christ Jesus, To Jews. (3.5 yrs). The Witnesses Will then be Saved and Killed, and Some Jews, (who Accept the Gospel of Christ Jesus) will be soul Saved and Bodily Killed...other Jews from Every Tribe of Israel Will be told to leave the City and go to Mt Zion. There 144,000 Witnesses, 12,000 of Each of the Twelve Tribes will be Preaching the Gospel of Christ Jesus. Many of the Tribes Will Accept Christ Jesus, soul Saved and Bodily Killed.
That is About God "soul" Saving His People ISRAEL, through the Gospel of Christ Jesus.
Converted men IN Christ, Christ's People, His Bride are Already "Prepared" for The Marriage supper...Saved, and their Saved soul, Quickened spirit, and Glorified Body is RISEN UP above the Face of the Earth...Before the Tribulation Begins.
Glory to God,
Taken
