Thank-you for your comment. I think part of it is that the church is a revealed mystery, as Ephesians is emphatic about. Both the words 'revealed' and 'mystery' are rather searching and informed, in dispensational terms.Brother I value everything you post, because you don’t seem to Lord it as many do if that makes since? I read the article, Israel as the wife I understood this previously. Where I get Jambed up is he’s promised us children, the New Testament language is spiritualy rich with it. He wouldn’t have children out of wedlock. I believe it’s already been consummated and is being consummated continually now.
