False. Israel was comprised of both Jews and Gentiles throughout its history. Genesis 17:12; Exodus 12:48-49; Leviticus 19:34; Leviticus 24:22. Furthermore, Jacob's mother Rebekah was not a descendant of Abraham, thus she was a Gentile, and thus Jacob and all of his descendants were of mixed...

If the new covenant and promises are not better, then why do they exist?

I believe in "better". You don't.

I believe in the more excellent ministry, the better covenant, and the better promises. Scripture describes them as more excellent and better for good reasons. I believe Scripture.

I choose to accept God's offer of gold over silver. You could too.

Hebrews 8 6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. More than once upon a time there was a father who, in his will, bequeathed his son 100 ounces of silver. He told his son of the...

Romans 10 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Faithfulness and obedience to you, PinSeeker.

A nation is comprised of its individuals. That is obvious from every Scripture that I cited. Individuals are chosen when they respond to God and His Son in faithfulness and obedience. Their nationality is irrelevant. God is not a racist, nor can He be contorted into one.

What do you believe are the three horns of Daniel 7:8,20,24 ? History identifies three geopolitical kingdoms -- the Heruli, Vandals, and Ostrogoths -- which were plucked up/subdued/overthrown by the papacy.

Spare us the tirade. :laughing: I've said nothing about beasts or heads or horns or crowns et al. Your imagination has overwhelmed you. I've simply said that the papacy's arrogations identify it as an antichrist according to the term meaning a substitute for Christ. The Reformers...

They weren't chosen here: Matthew 21 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. or here: Matthew 23...

But a number of individual antichrists like the popes. “All the names which in the Scripture are applied to Christ, by virtue of which it is established that He is over the church, all the same names are applied to the Pope.” Robert Cardinal Bellarmine, De Conciliorum Auctoriatate (On the...

Is this an antichrist? “All the names which in the Scripture are applied to Christ, by virtue of which it is established that He is over the church, all the same names are applied to the Pope.” Robert Cardinal Bellarmine, De Conciliorum Auctoriatate (On the Authority of the Councils) Bk 2...

See post 282. Do you think that the Acts, Isaiah, and Ezekiel references are Revelation seals?

No pretending involved. The great tribulation of Matthew 24 occurred in 70 AD, as the overwhelming evidence confirms. Let's first address verse 29, which I've done in post 282. Agreed?

It seems you've ignored posts 173, 199, and 200, all evidences of Scriptural historical fulfillments. Visit 'em. There are no seals in the Olivet discourse, and no Olivet discourse in your seals.

Matthew 24:15-16 is a continuation of Jesus' answer to the disciples' question "when shall these things be", "these things" being the destruction of the temple. The abomination of desolation was the Roman armies (Luke 21:20) who destroyed the temple in 70 AD, not in an indeterminate future...

Matthew 24 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Apr. 14-Sept. 8 70 CE Matthew 24 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

While the Judaean Christians were certainly spiritual, their flight was indisputably physical. The AOD was the Roman armies (Luke 21:20). It had no connection with 2 Thessalonians 2:4 and the 42 month reign of the beast.

Matthew 24:15-21 supports that. The flight of the Judaean Christians confirms it.
