It's possible....but that would be up to them. We do have free will. I just think it is a mistake to consider that inevitable....or "en masse" according to a prophesy that is aimed at the nations. You could start a new thread for the other thing...I would join in Lord willing. :)

It must be remembered that those who translated the Hebrew into Greek for the LXX would not have understood how the righteous could be cut off....so they changed the meaning. You need to drink from the source. :) . ז בֶּן-אָדָם, שִׂים פָּנֶיךָ אֶל-יְרוּשָׁלִַם, וְהַטֵּף, אֶל-מִקְדָּשִׁים...

Let's say we go back to the time of Abel. When his sacrifice was acceptable...the fire from God came down and consumed it. Now let's come back to our time. When our sacrifice is accepted by God...His Holy Spirit comes down as a fire upon us and we enter into His grace, life and power. That's...

God's judgment is greater. :)

Of course people can turn to God at any time. :) But this idea that somehow this is what the prophesy is about...I don't buy it. The Jews don't need a special invitation...again. Of course....the few remaining Jews can turn to Christ. But that is not what the prophesy is about. Quite the...

With Israel, yes. According to the Spirit. Not all are of Israel that are Israel. But God said to the majority...You shall NOT enter My rest. Not all are of Christ either that are Christian. That is the way it is with humanity.

You don't seek for the living among the dead. You are missing the spiritual nature of Israel here. I went to a youth camp when I was like 12 or so. At the end everyone received a badge of rank based on a native Canadian attribute...tenderfoot, brave, tracker, hunter and chief....as I recall...

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...
