    The Fig Tree - symbol of the New Covenant Church

    When we understand the fig tree symbolizes faithful saints from every nation of the earth bearing the fruit of the Spirit, the gift of tongues does prove that salvation is not limited to Jews only, but the Gospel of salvation is now being extended unto all the Gentile nations of the earth...

    The Fig Tree - symbol of the New Covenant Church

    Replacement Theology is a misnomer, used by those who refuse to accept that "all Israel that shall be saved" is not an ethnic people, but spiritual people that are both Jews of faith and Gentiles of faith together in the good olive tree being supported by the Root (Christ). The punishment for...

    What happened to Enoch? Would love some input on this.

    That's why Christ had to literally, physically come to give His life a ransom for sin and defeat death by His resurrection. As a Lamb slain from the foundation of the world is via promise that which was ordained in heaven before creation would not fail, but would come to pass when Christ, the...

    What happened to Enoch? Would love some input on this.

    Every living creature on the earth is a soul. Every soul has both a body and spirit. The only way for a soul to utterly perish is to be altogether without life. That happens when both the body and spirit the soul is comprised of die. There are examples of souls who have physically died being...

    The Fig Tree - symbol of the New Covenant Church

    Thank you for this thoughtful and thorough reply. I know well your view and have even defended it, and in fact continue to defend the truth of it. There is no doubt in my mind that this evil generation shall be together with faithful believers upon this earth to the end of days. It makes...

    What happened to Enoch? Would love some input on this.

    Why would it say all the graves were opened since not all the faithful saints had died? In order for all the saints in all the graves to be opened, all the saints would have to have died, but only many of them had, so graves were opened and MANY NOT ALL bodies of the saints which slept arose...

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them part 2

    They are called devout men from every nation under heaven. They weren't hearing supernaturally the speaking in unlearned languages, they were physically hearing them. To the remaining reply from you, we are not in agreement.

    What happened to Enoch? Would love some input on this.

    Of course it could not say "all" the saints, but only the many who had already died were raised. The living were not raised only those many who had died. The mortal flesh of the saints who physically die shall not be resurrected immortal & incorruptible until an hour that is coming when the...

    The Fig Tree - symbol of the New Covenant Church

    How can the fullness of the Gentiles coming into the good olive tree of faith be the fullness of 'heathen' Gentiles who trample the "Sancturary and God's earthly hosts, by the heathen Gentiles"?

    The Fig Tree - symbol of the New Covenant Church

    Matthew 24:32-34 (KJV) Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass...

    The Fig Tree - symbol of the New Covenant Church

    This contributes absolutely nothing to the discussion! Perhaps you can biblically prove how misunderstanding grammar will show how Paul's words should be intrepreted?

    What happened to Enoch? Would love some input on this.

    According to Paul man has both a natural body of the earth, and a spiritual body as the heavenly. Just as in life we were natural body of believers, so too after our body dies we as a spiritual body of believers ascend to heaven. It is for this reason that Paul longed for physical death...

    What happened to Enoch? Would love some input on this.

    What it says is that they appeared to many in the holy city. Where is the holy city, because after Christ is certain is not Jerusalem of this earth? They appeared to the multitude of heavenly hosts there. Luke 2:12-14 (KJV) And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped...

    The Fig Tree - symbol of the New Covenant Church

    Yes, absolutely the heavenly Zion, the holy city new Jerusalem, the city of the Living God is being spiritually filled as the message of Christ goes unto all the nations of the world. Thanks for sharing, the fig tree as the New Covenant body of Christ is a doctrine I only recently began to...

    The Fig Tree - symbol of the New Covenant Church

    For good reason it is commonly believed that when Scripture writes of the fig tree it symbolized Israel of Old. It's true that the fig tree was a symbol of the Old Covenant people called Israel, because of Israel's apostasy and spiritual adultery the prophets write that because the fig tree of...

    The Fig Tree - symbol of the New Covenant Church

    You're right, we are in agreement regarding who the fig tree symbolizes, but here I will try to clarify my understanding. I should have said the blossoming of the fig tree that Christ told His disciples they would be witnesses of, is the New Covenant fig tree, not the Israel of Old, but Israel...

    What happened to Enoch? Would love some input on this.

    This is one of the arguments I believe supports that what came out of the tombs were not physical bodies, but the spiritual body of believers, ascending spiritually to heaven with the Lord AFTER He was resurrected. And since they were not of physical flesh, they could not have gone into the...

    The Fig Tree - symbol of the New Covenant Church

    A better translation according to whom exactly? Paul doesn't say the blindness in part shall be lifted once Israel of God is saved through Gentiles of faith being grafted together with Jews of faith into the good olive tree with them. All Israel that shall be saved is the Israel of God...

    The Fig Tree - symbol of the New Covenant Church

    How can Israel that shall be saved be an ethnic people since Israel that shall be saved is saved by the fullness of the Gentiles? Does it not stand to reason that since both Jews of faith and Gentiles of faith are being grafted into the same good olive tree of faith, Israel that shall be saved...

    What happened to Enoch? Would love some input on this.

    Here is the Strong's Greek translation. I don't read Greek so you'll have to discern for yourself whether you believe 'people' belongs in the verse. Matthew 27:53 (KJVSL) And καί came ἐξέρχομαι out of ἐκ the graves μνημεῖον after μετά his αὐτός resurrection ἔγερσις, and went εἰσέρχομαι into...
