Why not literal? We have an historic event that is also prophetic...hence it's being recorded for our benefit.

OK In 70 AD there was a new diaspora. Titus entered the temple and the Romans desecrated the holiest place. This happened LITERALLY. What is yet to take place is the spiritual equivalent. Now if there is a future copy of the 70 AD desecration...the temple would have to be rebuilt. And normal...

Where? I have an equal mercy. I just don't worship Jews or natural Israel as many idolators do. There are many idolators in Judaism...and this idolatry is brought over into the faith of Jesus. And many gentiles are likewise seduced. Beware the concision.

But Ez. 37 goes beyond this. Although it is a further sign....not of the natural...but of the spiritual.

Bless you! neither do I. But I am defending the call of God on all people...as God has no respect of persons. And I say this to get the Jews away from their self interest...that will cause their rejection from the kingdom.

From the Spirit...the Spirit that gives life to His people.

There is a Dispie teachings that reserves a place in the kingdom for unbelieving Jews. Of course, if a Jew responds to the gospel and comes to Christ...he is most welcome...since the offer from God is first to the JEW THEN to the Gentile. But this doctrine makes it....First to the Gentile and...

Any kind of topic about Israel brings the Dispensationalists out to play. These hold to a solidarity with unbelieving Jews. These also deny that the Gentiles have been grafted into the commonwealth of Israel....making a continued distinction between Jews and Gentiles in Christ. They deny the...

Messianic mythology. There is nothing "natural" about Israel.

The work of Jesus is finished. But not ours. We need to enter into His rest. It is ironic that we are to "strive" to do so. We are to strive to be approved and translated into the Beloved. It is easy to miss, because the person writing to us (Paul) had done those steps. So it just seems like...

This speaks of us entering into Christ. This is the second step after regeneration. It speaks of a holy walk with God. We must ourselves go through the cross for this kind of life to kick in. I know it frustrates many to read all the wonderful things promised to those who are in Christ....yet...

Rom. 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. You are stuck with the unbelieving Jews ....2 steps back from the holiness you seek. The righteousness which is of faith...is an end to the law for the OT righteousness. The righteousness which is of...

This is the Messianic take on things that denies that there is no difference between Jew and Gentile in Christ. It is Dispensationalist. It denies that the 2 flocks coming together is the One New Man. And it denies Jesus as the Head of this Body.

One of the consistent hallmarks of the teachings of Jesus and His followers has been the cost of discipleship. The way forward is difficult and narrow. Jesus tells us this quite plainly. People have been trying to avoid the cross ever since.

The actual arrogance is that you set yourself up as a paradigm of orthodoxy. You just don't like to be challenged in your rigidity to a doctrinal system that is broken....overly simplistic...and self serving. I'm claiming that there is more to it than has entered into your limited view. The...

Ez. 37 the valley of dry bones.... is about the whole house of Israel....but it has other connotations as well. It is about the coming together of Israel by the Spirit....both Jews and Gentiles. Judah and Ephraim. They shall have One shepherd who is Christ our Lord. But it is also about...

This is exactly right Harvest...

The wilderness is a place of testing...of preparing. If we can trust God through it...no problem.

That was my word...lost. The wicked are destroyed in the lake of fire.

Exactly! :) It says the whole world was populated from these 3. The 4th was lost. The wicked perish.
