    Revelation 11-the measure of the temple

    Acts 10[34] Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

    Revelation 11-the measure of the temple

    In the FLESH, Israel was ONCE upon a time the chosen, aka The KoG on earth. That time of them being chosen, came to an end, when Jesus said this: Mat. 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. We see...

    Revelation 11-the measure of the temple

    Amen! Eph. 4[11] And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; [12] For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: [13] Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the...

    Revelation 11-the measure of the temple

    No!!! God the Father HAS done it already through His Son!! John 3:18; Romans 8:9 For every Jew, who died in faith, believing of the Messiah Jesus to come, before He appeared, they WERE sealed/saved on the Day of Pentecost, by the Promise of the Gift of God's Holy Spirit!! Revelation 6:9-11...

    Revelation 11-the measure of the temple

    The ONLY standing promise left to the Jews is Jesus! Other than that, there is no other hope for them!! If in any Jew's lifetime, they have neglected to come to Christ for the forgiveness/removal of sins and the Gift of God's salvation, they are LOST forever. Heb. 2[3] How shall we escape, if...

    Revelation 11-the measure of the temple

    Enoch111, As for John the Baptist coming in the spirit of Elijah, I cannot, and will not deny the Lord's words of evidence concerning Malachi 4:5-6. One thing I have learned in all the years of reading the Bible, especially Revelation, we are looking at the mind of God speaking to us 3...

    Revelation 11-the measure of the temple

    Thank you for pointing out, of what I hinted at, as being the one promise left for Israel: Jesus as being NOW their Savior and Messiah, and not hrough some false hope of a "millennium" on earth: John 3:16-18. Yes! The election has obtained the Righteousness of God through faith in Jesus!! But...

    Revelation 11-the measure of the temple

    Oopps in the above. I didn't see your closed quote. Jesus spoke of it in Rev. 3[7] And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth...

    Revelation 11-the measure of the temple

    When God removed the KoG from physical Israel, and gave it to another nation (born again Saints- 1 Peter 2:9), ALL the promises of God to Israel, except one, became dysfunctional 100%.

    Revelation 11-the measure of the temple

    Try this out, and please leave a comment: Luke 1[13] But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias:... [17] And he [John] shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias [Elijah], to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make...

    Revelation 11-the measure of the temple

    Don't need to! Through faith in Jesus, born again christians are the temple of God. Therefore, because of the Sacrifice of His Son, any other form of a temple, Jewish or not, is an abomination unto the Father.

    Revelation 11-the measure of the temple

    Because of their stubborness, and being deeply seated in their religion, only by the Spirit God can they be drawn to Jesus. Thats why Jesus said this about Himself and us to them: Mat. 23[39] For I say unto you [Jews], Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that...

    Revelation 11-the measure of the temple

    The reason that Jesus returns, has nothing to do with a Jewish temple! It has to do with the lack of faith on the earth, and people falling away from the same. Luke 18:8 2 Thessalonians 2:3

    Revelation 11-the measure of the temple

    The point of my argument was to show that the physical nation of Israel HAS NO future in any part of the KoG, now or ever!! However, as for the Jewish people themselves, the call to repentance and to have Faith in Jesus as their Savior/Messiah, is the only promise that they are to look to...

    Revelation 11-the measure of the temple

    I tend to disagree. Every Christian is growing (albeit at different rates) in the knowledge of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-16 [13] Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: [14]...

    Revelation 11-the measure of the temple

    They are driven by the misconception called "Pre-millennial thinking". All of such that believe in that manner, formulate and fabricate many theories of Christ's Return from Heaven, being two or even three times, for different purposes. To their own fault, they have not discerned the...

    Revelation 11-the measure of the temple

    Through faith in Christ, it is WE who are "acceptable" to the Father! I am not trying re-write scripture here, but rather to show where the emphasis is applied in that verse. I think that the emphasis of the word "acceptable", is on the words: "Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual...

    Revelation 11-the measure of the temple

    During the time of the ministry of John the Baptist and Jesus, it did not "rain" down the Holy Spirit upon anyone else, until the Day of Pentecost, which was after their ministry. The angel to Zacharius, and Jesus himself said that John came in the authority of the spirit of Elijah. Luke...
