Good. Now you are thinking more clearly. All purposes are fulfilled because of Jesus` sacrifice. Those of the nations who are saved will receive bodies like Adam`s and go on the New Earth. (Rev. 21: 24) Those who have been promised the city, the New Jerusalem will have bodies appropriate for...

Jesus only had a glorified body when He ascended to the Father. It was then that the Holy Spirit was sent to make us like Christ. (Rom. 8: 29 & 30)

Those before Christ ascended to build His Body were NOT made like Jesus. The nations will be judged by their works (motives) and Israel according to the revelation given to them. Each realm in all of God`s great kingdom is destined to have righteous rulership under the Lord Jesus Christ and...

Yes.

He is also head of the Body.

God did not make an oops when He made the nations and Israel. God`s word is about His purpose for Christ, the nations, Israel and the Body of Christ. We are only a part of all that not the center.

Thank you for that reply. So let`s look at those scriptures. `For if the first-fruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them become...

All of God`s word is for us to read and learn from. We learn of Christ`s character and His purposes for the Nations, for Israel and for the Body of Christ. To read God`s word as all about US is incorrect. We are not the center of God`s word, Christ is and His purposes.

And where does scripture say you are grafted into Israel, please?

One revelation of God`s purpose and then a further revelation of God`s purpose. It is not one against the other but a fuller understanding of ALL God`s purpose for Israel, the Nations and the body of Christ.

Actually, the Body of Christ (Jews and Gentiles) and even the nation of Israel, (Jews) has some Gentiles in it. Then the nations (gentiles) will be blessed in the millennium when the kingdom rule of God rules through Israel over the nations, righteously.

Yes, it was for Israel who would then rule over the Gentiles in the millennium. In the trib, the message of the kingdom rule of God through Israel was coming. That is what the 144,000 priests of Israel will speak about and also the 2 witnesses.

There is the good news that Jesus preached to Israel and then when Jesus ascended to the Father and was made Head of the Body then He gave further revelation of His purposes - that now He is building and maturing His Body to rule with Him in the highest.

Yes, Jesus and the disciples taught about the kingdom rule of God to come. However, we as the Body of Christ have the rule of the Lord in our lives already. The 12 disciples will rule over the 12 tribes of Israel. We will rule over all on Christ`s throne in the third heaven.

The kingdom message and the good news of Christ as Head of the Body are two revelations to different groups.

I am not. I am looking unto Jesus. I know that all God has promised to Israel will come about. It is not for me to seek it.

The disciples only went to the Jews. The disciples are promised by the Lord to be the rulers over the 12 tribes of Israel. (Matt. 19: 28)

Jesus was talking to the children of Israel about seeking the kingdom, (rule of God through them over the nations). We are told to `look to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.` (Heb. 12: 2 Col. 3: 1 & 2)

The `good news` is that Christ is Head of the Body (Eph. 1: 22 & 23) and that we are sons of God in that Body. Our inheritance i s in the third heaven with Christ on His throne. (Rev. 3: 21)

Christ`s rulership is over all of God`s great kingdom. (Eph. 1: 20 - 23. Col. 1: 16. Ps. 2: 6. Rev. 4: 2) And God`s great kingdom includes the visible and invisible, the earth, the Universe and the third heaven.
