    Rapture Top Dogs Admit no Proof Exists.

    I don't believe in seminary ideas like Futurism. God's Word declares the coming Antichrist to Jerusalem, and God ain't no Jesuit.

    Rapture Top Dogs Admit no Proof Exists.

    Pretty much the way it is, except... many that used to be right of center have also shifted left of center.

    Rapture Top Dogs Admit no Proof Exists.

    I was not told how... my ancestors got to Germany, but a quick look on a map reveals how, the province of Lorraine is where they were from, and that is right next to the Ardennes forest border with Germany. They didn't cross the Alps to get there. Futurism is a seminary idea, like Historicism...

    What Was Israel Ordained For?

    You wish that were so, but it isn't. There's a reason why the name Ephraim is specifically left out in Rev.7, just as there is a reason why the tribe of Dan also is left out there. But in Ezekiel 48 they are in final added back in.

    What Was Israel Ordained For?

    Where was it, Jer.31 I think, where God said if the ordinances of the sun and moon depart, then the seed of Israel will cease being a nation before Him? It's the remnant of the believing seed of Israel that will be gathered under Christ back to the lands God promised their fathers, not...

    What Was Israel Ordained For?

    I think it possible that since it comes from Hebrew shalah pointing to peace or tranquil, it may have originally pointed to the Prince of peace, our Lord Jesus. But Gen.49:10-11 are more clear that it's about our Lord Jesus. I think our Heavenly Father cleared up any doubt there Who is being...

    What Was Israel Ordained For?

    Another point I've tried to make on this forum is about the name... 'Israel'. The Jews want to try and make that name solely a national heritage label for blood birth, but actually it is a name for the Gospel Salvation. God gave this name to Jacob because he wrestled with the Angel and...

    What Was Israel Ordained For?

    This is meant literally... Rom 9:6-8 6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8 That is, They which are the children...

    What Was Israel Ordained For?

    Even though that version leaves out "Shiloh" I believe it's fairly simple when verse 11-12 that are linked back to verse 10 are included. Who is it born of Judah that would ride the foal and ass? Our Lord Jesus... Zech 9:9 9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem...

    What Was Israel Ordained For?

    Well, Rev.7 doesn't mention Ephraim, but Joseph and Manasseh instead. Only the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi there in Rev.7 represent the Jews who believe on Jesus. The rest are all scattered ten tribe Israelites among the nations, i.e., they think they are Gentiles and are not known as...

    What Was Israel Ordained For?

    The word Hebrew comes from Eber of the OT. Abraham was a Hebrew in that lineage. You can look that up in Genesis. Most Caucasian peoples are Hebrews. I also count myself as a Gentile with probably Hebrew origin. But our Lord Jesus really made this of none effect, because per Romans 9 those who...

    What Was Israel Ordained For?

    I see the title of Jew originating from the tribe of Judah, like Josephus said. But I see it being used before Judah's captivity to Babylon. Today it can mean one born of the house of Judah, or of the region of Judea, or one who converts to Judaism. Those Jews who claim heritage from old Israel...

    What Was Israel Ordained For?

    I do much of the same, which is why I often post the Scripture as written, in a different color so no mistake is made between my words and Scripture. But we shouldn't be afraid to paraphrase as long as we stay in the Scripture context. That is one of our teaching tools, because if we truly...

    What Was Israel Ordained For?

    What's fair is that you read it and bring it to the discussion, since it was my reply. So your response should be next.

    What Was Israel Ordained For?

    On #6, both the majority of the ten tribes of the northern kingdom, and the two tribes of the southern kingdom, were scattered. A remnant of believers among all 12 had to be who James was addressing. Of scattered Judah (Jews), whether scattered from Babylon after the 70 years, or scattered from...

    What Was Israel Ordained For?

    I had to edit the quotes because of how your last post wasn't quoted properly. Davy: (You can't do that. Reason is because you would have to omit history of the majority of the ten northern tribes being separated from the "house of Judah" and having never returned.) marks I'm simply showing...

    What Was Israel Ordained For?

    I'd like to hear how you read that. I pointed you to that Scripture, so what is it saying? Oh, and here's verses that go with that, helping you with the context of Who is meant in that latter part of Gen.49:10. Gen 49:10-12 10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from...

    IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN BELIEVING GENTILES?

    The New Covenant is for believing Israel and believing Gentiles, together, as ONE BODY. That is what Apostle Paul taught (Gal.3; Rom.4).

    What Was Israel Ordained For?

    What God's Word and history shows is like I have said, and you confirmed, that... 1. God split old Israel into two separate kingdoms - the "kingdom of Judah" containing 2 tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and eventually Levi, with Rehoboam, king of Judah over them in the south at Jerusalem. And the...

    What Was Israel Ordained For?

    You can't do that. Reason is because you would have to omit history of the majority of the ten northern tribes being separated from the "house of Judah" and having never returned. Now if you want to solely point to the Jews in Jesus' day as that "house of Israel", you've got a problem there...
