The Kingdom of God is made up of all that God made - the third heaven, the Universal heaven and the earth with its atmospheric heaven. Jesus was confirming to the Jews the promise that they as a nation would receive rulership (kingdom) over the nations of the world. (Dan. 2: 44. 7: 27) That...

Jesus was talking to Jews under the LAW. We the Body of Christ now under grace are NOT under the Law.

If the disciples were in the Body then why were they asking Jesus when He would restore the kingdom to ISRAEL? `(Acts 1: 6) And why was Peter trying to get the Gentile believers to act like Jews? (Gal. 2: 11 - 16)

I don`t disregard the Lord`s teachings to the Jews, but see them in their right context. 1. So, is YOUR righteousness more than the Pharisees? `For I (Jesus) say to you, that unless YOUR righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will no means enter the kingdom...

Can you please address these scriptures? My first point would be that when Jesus said `Great is your reward in heaven,` He was talking to the Jews. The Body of Christ was not revealed at that time or even started. (Eph. 3: 1 - 6) Jesus was confirming the promises made to the fathers. (Rom. 15...

Yes, it is wonderful that each inheritance (glorified body) in the Lord can never be spoiled, nor can fade away, but is kept, as you say. The point however, that we need to discuss are the places where the different groups will be in eternity, using God`s word. 1. The Body of Christ. 2. The...

No mistake. The difficulty that blinds people to this fact is that we are very self-centered and like to read God`s word as ALL about US. When actually God`s word is ALL about the Lord, and His purposes for the Body of Christ, for Israel and for the Nations. Get those muddled up and you end up...

Hi Hidden, Thank you for the invitation to discuss here. My first point would be that when Jesus said `Great is your reward in heaven,` He was talking to the Jews. The Body of Christ was not revealed at that time or even started. (Eph. 3: 1 - 6) Jesus was confirming the promises made to the...

I see you have given NO scriptures to prove what you say. To engage in meaningful discussion scriptures are needed.

Hi Adventageous, Looking forward to reading through all of the notes and perhaps entering in. Now just a little point here you may like to check up on. In Heb. 12: 22 we read of `the spirits of just/righteous men (& women) made perfect.` These are the OT saints and as yet have not...

If I say that is John`s pen, meaning the pen is John`s, but it is NOT John. See the difference? `I, Jesus, .........I am the Root and the offspring of David,...` (Rev. 22: 16) The Lord is the beginning and the end etc. He is the one who made Israel, looked after them as a nation and will...

I wrote about the OT saints (please read carefully in future) who are looking to God for their inheritance of the city, the New Jerusalem. (Heb. 11: 16) In this time Jews turning to the Lord come into the Body of Christ. Then when we are taken to our eternal inheritance on the Lord`s own...

I specifically address some of your points otherwise we wouldn`t be discussing `Israel`s olive tree.` I say Israel`s Olive tree is Christ. You say Israel`s Olive tree is Israel.

Yes in Christ as God`s word says. `For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.` (Col. 3: 3) And Israel that the Lord turns to Him will also be in Christ. Israel`s Olive tree is CHRIST. They cannot save themselves, they are not the root or tree but a part of it, the branches.

So why do the disciples ask Jesus about restoring Israel`s rulership? (Acts 1; 6) And why does Peter try to get the gentiles to act like Jews? (Gal. 2: 14)

It seems you don`t read my posts. Try again.

The KEY is Christ the ROOT. And again in Rev. 22: 16, "I am the ROOT...` Israel`s olive tree is Christ the ROOT making the very nation of Israel.

That`s right, OT saints are not looking to earth but to the city, the New Jerusalem in the Universal heavens. And I`m a premil. and certainly not looking for an earthly inheritance but for the very throne of the Lord in the third heaven. `To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with me on my...

You also are revealing your lack of being able to discuss biblically and so resort to being rude. Very poor.
