That's a really good point. Also Isa 30:23-25 NIV.Marcus O'Reillius said:like saying again and again that a coronal mass ejection is indicated by Isaiah 30:26 for a figurative (seven times is the first clue) brightly shining sun, and then go on to say this will be part of the Wrath of the Day of the Lord, when Isaiah says it will be when God heals the people He has harmed!
How can Isaiah 30:26 be a cataclysmic solar outburst that burns a third of the earth when it is a day of healing?
Yeah that's the first mistake, believing the church is Israel. These two identities have two different eschatological paths.Marcus O'Reillius said:You can pull up all the verses for the Jews you want, but they do not apply as you wish to make them apply to the Church.
Ha! I knew it!! Global Warming!!!keras said:How can Isaiah 30:26 be a cataclysmic solar outburst that burns a third of the earth when it is a day of healing? Quote Marcus and ATP
This is how:
Ezekiel 20:34 I will gather you from the nations.......with My mighty hand and outstretched arm and with My fury poured out.
Malachi 4:1-3 Behold; the Day comes, burning like a furnace......that Day will burn them as stubble...... But for you that fear My Name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing......you will go forth like calves released from their stall. All the wicked shall be as ashes under your feet, in the Day I will do this.
Psalm 50:3-6 Our God is coming and will not keep silent, a consuming fire runs ahead of Him........He judges His people and those loyal servants who have sacrificed for Me, I will make a Covenant with them.
It is high time for all you believers in peculiar ideas to cease being so sure of your false notions and take note of what the Bible actually says. The entire end times sequence is mostly just common sense and a rapture removal to heaven simply isn't part of it.
Outright rejection of Isaiah 30:26 being a CME, is just foolish denial, that is basically saying to God that you don't believe His Word.
Right, those who are born again are one in Christ, but as far as eschatology is concerned, Israel and the church take two separate paths in the 70th week.keras said:In other words there is one people, that is: Christians from every tribe, race and language. Rev 7:9
It seems that quite a lot is beyond your comprehension.ATP said:Right, those who are born again are one in Christ, but as far as eschatology is concerned, Israel and the church take two separate paths in the 70th week.
Israel will flee to the mountains in the middle of the 70th week and stay there for 3.5 years Matt 24:15-16, Rev 12:6.
Nowhere does it say the church tagging along. Every nation around the world moving to Israel is silly beyond comprehension.
How can the church be Israel when Israel remains in unbelief until the end of the 70th week. The church is born again. Most of Israel is not.keras said:You don't think the church IS Israel?
Better yet, where does it say Israel is born again.keras said:Where does the Bible say Israel [you mean the Jews, I presume] remains in unbelief until the end of the 70th week? That would until the Return?
But I live in the United States, not Judea lol Matt 24:15-16 NIV. Looks like there's two group of people spoken of here. But but....keras said:As Christians ARE Israelites, the question is answered by NT teaching.
