The book of Revelation focuses on Israel, not the body of Christ. The churches addressed in chapters 2 and 3 are churches of God, composed of the believing remnant of Israel. The gospel preached is not the gospel of grace, but the gospel of the kingdom (Matthew 24:14). The gospel of the kingdom...

It may be desirable for the church, the body, to have the physical blessings given to Israel, but the riches of Christ would be lost. The church, the body of Christ, in this dispensation has not been given the new covenant, nor in fact, any covenant. If that would be the case, then we need to...

I was wrong in thinking the new testament was only for Israel. Upon further study, I have come to see that the new testament has been applied to the church, the body of Christ, in this dispensation of grace. The new covenant is not the same as the new testament. The new covenant is future. The...
