    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    Hi Ronald, 1. The nations were actually formed by Noah and his sons. (Gen. 10: 32. It was the different languages that you are referring to. 2. Yes, God`s mercy and grace to rebellious Israel some of whom will rule the nations of the world as promised. (1 Kings 2: 2: 45) 3. Yes, to gather...

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    Of course it is very significant, however it is just the means to the end purpose. This will come clear as I answer your questions. Now I do appreciate your 2 questions. They show insight by you and interest in someone`s motive. WHY I asked that question concerning the nations, Israel and the...

    Thankyou for your comment. Yes all in the same boat, however, each group have a different place in God`s great kingdom.

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    Yes I am. However, you are not saying why God has let men of the nations and Israel stop His specific purposes for them It seems you are lumping everyone together. If that is all God wanted then He could have sent Jesus earlier and tidied up the whole mess much earlier and not wait over 6,000...

    So, God had no purpose in making the nations and Israel?

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    Hi SI, As God is omniscient then He would know that the people of the nations would rebel. Can that stop God? And what Is God`s purpose for them ultimately? Also, as God is omniscient then He would know that Israel (whom He had worked with for centuries) would turn away from Him. So, can...

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    It is good for us to think deeper. So, what do you think is God`s ultimate purposes for the three groups in the time of the New Heavens and New Earth?

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    Hi Davy, Interesting scriptures there too. Thank you. God`s purposes - deliverance from the Devil, Those of the promise - elect in Israel. The believers in the Body of Christ are also elect when they come into Christ. God appointed prophets to the nations.

    Hi Manasseh, Interesting scriptures there. Israel Isa. 48: 8 - 11. The LORD testing Israel. Isa. 43: 6 -7. The bringing back of Israel to their own land after being scattered throughout the nations for centuries. Jer. 13: 11. God desired Israel to cling to Him but they turned away. Nations...

    Premillennialism contradicts scripture (1 Corinthians 15:50-54) by having mortal flesh and blood inheriting the kingdom of God when Jesus returns.

    Thank you I missed that scripture. So, the righteous go into eternal life. However, it does not say `when.` God`s word sometimes has events written after each other but not necessarily happen that way. Those two events in Isaiah have centuries between them. Jesus quoted the first part but not...

    Premillennialism contradicts scripture (1 Corinthians 15:50-54) by having mortal flesh and blood inheriting the kingdom of God when Jesus returns.

    So, where does it say in Matt. 25: 31 - 46 that the `sheep` nations (alive on planet earth at that time), inherit eternal life? `The kingdom prepared from the foundation of the world,` is God`s rulership over the nations through Israel. It is NOT God`s great kingdom rulership which is...

    Premillennialism contradicts scripture (1 Corinthians 15:50-54) by having mortal flesh and blood inheriting the kingdom of God when Jesus returns.

    Hi Cady, I do appreciate your comments. However, had you thought about these scriptures. `...the Son of His love....for by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were...

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    So, what do you think (from God`s word if you can) was God`s purpose in making - 1. The Nations. 2. Israel. 3. The Body of Christ. If you can only comment on one group, then that is fine.

    God Interprets His Scripture

    Hi TS, You may like to consider this - Christ is the Olive tree. `For if the first-fruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became...

    God Interprets His Scripture

    So, the symbol of a lamb in Rev. 5: 5 is the same as the symbol of the lamb in Rev. 13: 11?
