Hi Dave, If Jesus was to come in 2030 to deliver Israel and bring vengeance upon the rebellious nations, then we would be in the trib now. God set Israel`s calendar according to their Feasts and Sabbaths. God sent Israel into exile because they didn`t keep His Sabbaths 70 times. Thus the 70...

OVERVIEW: The Four Visions. The predominant aim of Revelation is the setting forth the splendours of the Son of Man, & to reveal His glorious person. There are four visions of the Son of Man as He is known in the heavenly realm & each vision in turn carries through to completion one aspect of...

Hi Scott, 2 Cor.11. Paul is talking to his own disciples and desiring them to be pure. HE wants to present them to the Lord. However, for us it is the Lord who will present us to Himself NOT Paul. (Jude 24) Eph. 5: 32 speaks of the husband and loving his wife as Christ does His Body, the New...

It is the `wife` in Rev. 19 if that is who you are referring to. The Body of Christ is the New Man - no male or female. Paul writes 4 chapters of doctrine on this new Man. So, where is the doctrine of this other view - Body of Christ as female?

Hi Doug, So good to see someone else with that revelation of the Body of Christ. Where did you get it from?

The church, the Body of Christ does not have to have man `s systems organizing them. Believers, as in the early days can quite well gather together with their disciples and other believers. `You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and the things that you have...

Good thought there and much needed, thank you.

The whole Tabernacle & Temple with its furnishing and rituals show in great detail Christ`s character and His Mediatorial work as High Priest. The Laws were to reveal to Israel their inadequacy and was the schoolmaster to lead them to Christ. Luke 20: 9 - 18 reveal the blindness of that...

Hi AJ, Denominations are of man and therefore fallible. The Body of Christ is of God`s Holy Spirit and a spiritual organism. Thus, it is the Spirit of God that helps us to `see` with our spiritual `eyes.` `See` a mind that`s troubled, `see` a heart that cries. People can cover with a facade...

God is omniscient and knew that Israel (or mankind, us included) could never be obedient to Him. Thus, Jesus fulfills all of God`s purposes and they will unfold as promised. Matt. 23: 37 - 39 refers to the nation of Israel at the time of Jesus. The rulership of God through them was taken away...

Hi The Light, The difficulty with those calculations is that they are not the Lord`s. You see the Lord uses a constant 30 day month and a 360 year. That then can be measured on our Solar calendar or the Israelis Lunar calendar.

Hi AJ, I think these scriptures are helpful - `...the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know...` (Eph. 1: 18) `But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.` (Heb. 5: 14)

Hi AJ, Lots of good comments there, thank you. Good detail. Only one point - So, Israel can defeat God`s purpose for them? Of course not. Anything and everything are only fulfilled by Jesus. No man, nation, or angel can stop this or fulfill God`s purposes.

God made the nations through the genetics of Adam and Eve. That is where the differences come from. God knew that Israel could never completely obey Him for they are fallen humanity. That would be unfair of God to expect them fully obey Him. God was just, righteous in revealing to them their...

Yes, all for the Body of Christ. However, not everyone in the ages past knew of Jesus and Hi sacrifice for them. They will be judged on their works (motives, (Rev. 20: 12) If they looked to God and did right, they are covered by Jesus' sacrifice and will go to the New earth. (Rev. 21: 24)

Such a great question. God`s purpose is all about having Christ bringing everything in heaven and earth under His rulership. (Eph. 1: 9 & 10) Now we know that God is Just. However, He must be seen to be Just. (righteous) Can man in the time before the flood say that they could have become...

You have indeed written some very good thoughts. Well done. A few points I would like to draw your attention to. I believe that man or devil could not stop God`s purposes for - the nations, Israel and the Body of Christ from being fulfilled. That would make man and the devil greater than God...

That those of Israel who are `meek` and of course who have turned to God will inherit the earth. The non Jew would be pleased that God has prepared a righteous rulership to govern the nations. `Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His servants, and render...

I`m off for a rest and will talk later if you want to.

Sorry about that. I thought you asked a very good question that to me showed you were thinking a bit more to God`s purposes.
