Until they heard the Gospel proclaimed and believed in Christ, they believed salvation came through obedience to the Law. They were in partial blindness until they knew Christ came and fulfilled all the Law of Old demanded. Even though Jews of faith in Christ continued to be zealous of the...

It has vanished for all who turn to Christ for everlasting life. Why would one turn again to the repetitive Old Covenant after Christ the true High Priest has come and fulfilled all that the Law demanded?

Just as Gentiles, being foreign to the mercies of God through Christ, received mercy through the Gospel first proclaimed to them by the Jews, so too those of Israel, then/now in blindness of the mercy that comes through Christ can also turn to the merciful Christ for everlasting life as Gentiles...

Those Jews of Old who turned to Christ when He came, although knowing that by His death Christ fulfilled all that was required according to the Law. Even Paul continued to keep the Law (at least partially). He says that to the Jew he became a Jew, that he might win some of them to Christ...

The Scriptures tell us that when Christ comes the second time, His coming will be like a thief in the night to those who are not of the day but of the night. It is now during this age, as the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is being sent unto all the nations of the world that man MUST be saved...

It might help you to better understand the mystery revealed since the advent of Christ, if you look at greater context and other passages that speak of the same mystery. Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles. This is something new, because in times past the message of the Gospel (coming of Christ...

Because Israel in blindness believed that salvation was exclusively for the Jews. Paul speaking to Israel and to us is basically saying, not so fast! Salvation if for whosoever is of faith, whether they are Jew or Gentile. And in fact the blindness in part to Israel of the flesh shall...

I agree Covenantee!

Christian Gedge does not agree with projecting the 70th week into the distant future. Pg 54 The Atonement Clock "At this point, it is necessary to clear up a misunderstanding concerning the 70th week. It has been widely taught by modern preachers and popular books that the ‘coming prince’...

Very subjective reasoning, without biblical support. If the first 483 years are literally weeks of literal seven day periods of time, why would you try to push the final seven-day one week into some vague unknown 3 1/2 days/weeks/unknown time ? of whatever into the future?

What verses support the view that this took place for seven years? Are you saying the earthly ministry of Christ covered seven years? I find the opinion that the ministry of Christ on this earth was seven years just as confusing.

The one week belongs with 490 years. It's only set apart because all that is prophesied to be fulfilled with Messiah's coming was fulfilled in that one last week. Everything prophesied to come before this one week was fulfilled before the final one week of 490 years came. If the final one...

Yes, I inadvertently left out the final one week that brings the total to 490 years instead of 483 weeks of years. Sorry for the confusion.

GB, Paul never says the fullness of Gentiles will remove Israel's partial blindness. He says that it is through the fullness of the Gentiles that "all Israel shall be saved." It is only by assuming "all Israel" saved are ethnic Jews that makes one believe Paul is saying the partial in...

Yes, absolutely! There is partial blindness in every nation, tribe, kindred and tongue upon the earth. There is NO nation, nor do I believe there ever shall be, any single nation on this earth that shall be without exception all of them coming out of blindness by turning to the Light (Christ)...

The verses you reference in context are of the "Israel of God" which is all Israel that shall be saved. Israel of God is complete when the fullness of Gentiles is grafted into the good olive tree of faith with Jews of faith. Romans 11:25-31 (KJV) For I would not, brethren, that ye should be...

The blindness of ethnic Jews, called Israel of the flesh is removed the same way the blindness of all who remain in unbelief is. That is according to grace through faith when they hear the Gospel and through the power of the Spirit believe. Remember, with the exception of the remnant of Israel...

You make a good point! The reason it's necessary to emphasize the "Israel of God" is because so many followers of Christ believe that ethnic Jews called Israel who have never and shall never belong to "Israel of God" shall have another opportunity to turn to Christ to be eternally saved during...

It's not only the tribulation saints of Rev 20:4 that are resurrected immortal & incorruptible at Christ's coming. It is ALL the dead in Christ, and in FACT ALL the dead. That would include even those who physically die in Christ from Rev 20:6 "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first...

Thank you for the link. What I posted was part of a pm with Gedge. I wish my memory was better. The thing I remember best is how impressed I was with this study. I had totally forgotten it was titled 'The Atonement Clock'. I thought I had stored it years ago, but I must have deleted it at...
