    The Lord will fight for Israel and Jerusalem; Zech. 12

    But in 70 AD neither Gentiles in unbelief, nor Gentiles of faith have achieved the fullness of the Gentiles. To this day Gentile nations are still seeking to destroy Israel. Both physically and spiritually. Paul is here speaking of that which was a mystery before the first coming of Christ...

    The Lord will fight for Israel and Jerusalem; Zech. 12

    Of course this is true, and I haven't seen anyone argue otherwise. The Jews in the first century AD did not believe that God would save Gentiles too. They believed themselves alone to be the elect of God and they alone to inherit salvation because they were the physical offspring (seeds) of...

    The Lord will fight for Israel and Jerusalem; Zech. 12

    If you want to be taken as a serious student of the Word of God, you need to address the inconsistencies and or contradictions that have been shown by using the Bible to prove your doctrine. What we often find in those holding to the doctrine of premillennialism is they simply ignore the...

    The Lord will fight for Israel and Jerusalem; Zech. 12

    The blindness in part to the Jews was seen in the first century AD, and to this day there is still a blindness in part. Never of the whole Jewish people, because many of them, like many Gentiles believe according to grace through faith. The blindness in part is NOT limited to only Jews in...

    The Lord will fight for Israel and Jerusalem; Zech. 12

    Most excellent biblical reply! Looking for literal/physical fulfillment of prophecies of Old is one reason the Jews rejected their Messiah when He came.

    The Lord will fight for Israel and Jerusalem; Zech. 12

    Blindness is only in part because there has always been a remnant of ethnic Israel who believe. They are the other part who are not in blindness. If this part in blindness does not turn to the Lord to be saved before the last trumpet sounds it will be too late for them to be saved. TODAY, now...

    The Lord will fight for Israel and Jerusalem; Zech. 12

    So many are without understanding because when they read the Old Covenant prophets, they can only see the day of the Lord they foretell to come as His second coming. Then to fit all the prophecies into that final day of the Lord when He comes again, they must come up with more time (one...

    The Lord will fight for Israel and Jerusalem; Zech. 12

    Most definitely the day of the Lord the prophets foretell includes what shall come to pass on the last day of the Lord, but it is error to believe the coming day of the Lord the prophets foretell is speaking specifically of His second coming. The prophets foresee the day of the Lord coming that...

    The Lord will fight for Israel and Jerusalem; Zech. 12

    Since the day of the Lord the prophets foretell would come began with the first advent of Christ coming to earth a man, would you not agree that all that comes to pass from the first coming of the Lord until the last trumpet sounds includes whatsoever has come, and also what shall come...

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    Yes, but who shall inhabit New Jerusalem? In the New Jerusalem there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither pain "FOR THE FORMER THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY"! The New Jerusalem shall be after the first heaven and the first earth have passed away. That's why TIME given this...

    The Lord will fight for Israel and Jerusalem; Zech. 12

    It is very difficult to arrive at a proper understanding of Old Covenant prophecies for Israel, Jerusalem, even the earth at large without seeking for clarity through what is written (NT) since Christ came and by His sacrificial life, death and resurrection ushered in the New Covenant that...

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    The Apostle John disagrees with you. Revelation 10:5-7 (KJV) And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that...

    There are 2 tribulation periods, the “first” is to the Jews

    Scripture affirms that not all who are called Israel in the flesh are indeed Israel of God through Christ's Spirit. When we read of the whole physical house of Israel being dried up bones and without hope, how does that change what Paul has said regarding only a remnant of them being saved...

    There are 2 tribulation periods, the “first” is to the Jews

    If that is true, then Paul is contradicting himself. You're reading this passage in isolation without taking into consideration how Paul has already told us that only "the remnant of Israel shall be saved." Romans 9:27 (KJV) Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the...

    There are 2 tribulation periods, the “first” is to the Jews

    Can you explain what you mean by a pause between vss. 28-29? After the tribulation of those days "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see" (with eyes wide open) IOW the appearance of Christ is visibly/physically...

    There are 2 tribulation periods, the “first” is to the Jews

    What earth shall believers reign on with the Lord FOREVER? It won't be on this earth that is destined to be burned up. It shall be on the new earth that shall be after Christ returns and makes all things new again. Revelation 5:6-10 (KJV) And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne...

    There are 2 tribulation periods, the “first” is to the Jews

    The fullness of Gentiles marks the end of the mystery that Gentiles too shall be saved. There won't be more time for ethnic Israel to be saved. It will mark the end of all time when the seventh trumpet sounds.
