Jeremiah 30:23-24 See what a fiery wind has gone out from the Lord. A whirlwind that sweeps around the heads of the wicked, the Lord’s anger is not to be turned aside until He has fully accomplished His purpose.

Jeremiah 30:4-7 This is what the Lord says to Israel and Judah: We have heard a cry of terror, of fear without relief, every face turns pale. How awful is that Day, there has been none like it. It is a time of anguish for Jacob, yet he will come through it safely.

This describes the Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath, the next prophesied event, the Sixth Seal, in the near future. It will clear the way for His people, Christian Israelites, be they true descendants of Jacob or grafted in, to gather and settle in the new nation of Beulah, in all of the holy land.



Jeremiah 30:1-3 The Lord God of Israel, tells Jeremiah to write His words: The time is coming, when I shall restore the fortunes of My people, both Judah and Israel, and bring them back to take possession of the Land which I gave to their ancestors.

Jeremiah 30:8-22 In that Day, I shall break the yoke of servitude off their necks, they will serve only Me and David, their King, raised up for them. Do not be afraid, Israel, My servants, for I shall bring you back safe from afar, all your posterity from the lands where they are now. You will be at rest once more, secure and untroubled, for I am with you, to save you. The nations will be punished and you too, will be disciplined as you deserve.
Israel and Judah were punished for their sins by exile among the nations.
Yet all who despoiled you will themselves be despoiled, I will heal your wounds.

The Lord says: I shall restore the fortunes of all Israel and show my
love for his dwellings. Cities and houses will be rebuilt where they once were. From them, praise and merrymaking will be heard. My people will increase and be honoured, their oppressors will be punished.

A ruler will appear, one of themselves, a governor will arise from
among them. I will bring him near and let him approach Me. So you will be My people and I shall be your God. Ref: REB. Verses abridged.

Jeremiah 30:24b In days to come, you will understand.



These wonderful promises to His servants, all of the Christian peoples, all grafted into the Tree that is Jesus – their heritage regenerated, brought back safely from afar, to take possession of their Land, secure and untroubled, cities and houses rebuilt, they will increase and be honoured.

It is not hard to imagine, the ‘praise and merrymaking’ of His people after such amazing promises are fulfilled.

The King mentioned in Jeremiah 30:9 will be Jesus, after His Return. But, before the Return, ‘a leader will appear, one of themselves’, he will be able to approach the Lord in the same way as Moses and David did, so long ago.

All the Lord’s righteous people, will live in peace and prosperity in the Land of Greater Israel, the new country of Beulah, Isaiah 62:1-5, after the clearance brought about by the Day of the Lord’s fiery wrath. They will send out 144,000 missionaries to proclaim the good news of the coming Kingdom of God. Isaiah 66:19, Revelation 7:1-8

Perhaps we need to look at the context of Jeremaih 30 and 31.

Below in this post and the next I have present these two chapters: -

Jeremiah 30: - Restoration of Israel and Judah

30:
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 "Thus speaks the Lord God of Israel, saying: 'Write in a book for yourself all the words that I have spoken to you. 3 For behold, the days are coming,' says the Lord, 'that I will bring back from captivity My people Israel and Judah,' says the Lord. 'And I will cause them to return to the earth that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.'"

4 Now these are the words that the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah.

5 "For thus says the Lord:

'We have heard a voice of trembling,
Of fear, and not of peace.
6 Ask now, and see,
Whether a man is ever in labour with child?
So why do I see every man with his hands on his loins
Like a woman in labour,
And all faces turned pale?
7 Alas! For that day is great,
So that none is like it;
And it is the time of Jacob's trouble,
But he shall be saved out of it.

8 'For it shall come to pass in that day,'
Says the Lord of hosts,
'That I will break his yoke from your neck,
And will burst your bonds;
Foreigners shall no more enslave them.
9 But they shall serve the Lord their God,
And David their king,
Whom I will raise up for them.

10 'Therefore do not fear, O My servant Jacob,' says the Lord,
'Nor be dismayed, O Israel;
For behold, I will save you from afar,
And your seed from the place of their captivity.
Jacob shall return, have rest and be quiet,
And no one shall make him afraid.
11 For I am with you,' says the Lord, 'to save you;
Though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you,
Yet I will not make a complete end of you.
But I will correct you in justice,
And will not let you go altogether unpunished.'

12 "For thus says the Lord:

'Your affliction is incurable,
Your wound is severe.
13 There is no one to plead your cause,
That you may be bound up;
You have no healing medicines.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you;
They do not seek you;
For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy,
With the chastisement of a cruel one,
For the multitude of your iniquities,
Because your sins have increased.
15 Why do you cry about your affliction?
Your sorrow is incurable.
Because of the multitude of your iniquities,
Because your sins have increased,
I have done these things to you.

16 'Therefore all those who devour you shall be devoured;
And all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity;
Those who plunder you shall become plunder,
And all who prey upon you I will make a prey.
17 For I will restore health to you
And heal you of your wounds,' says the Lord,
'Because they called you an outcast saying:
"This is Zion;
No one seeks her."'

18 "Thus says the Lord:

'Behold, I will bring back the captivity of Jacob's tents,
And have mercy on his dwelling places;
The city shall be built upon its own mound,
And the palace shall remain according to its own plan.
19 Then out of them shall proceed thanksgiving
And the voice of those who make merry;
I will multiply them, and they shall not diminish;
I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
20 Their children also shall be as before,
And their congregation shall be established before Me;
And I will punish all who oppress them.
21 Their nobles shall be from among them,
And their governor shall come from their midst;
Then I will cause him to draw near,
And he shall approach Me;
For who is this who pledged his heart to approach Me?' says the Lord.
22 'You shall be My people,
And I will be your God.'"

23 Behold, the whirlwind of the Lord
Goes forth with fury,
A continuing whirlwind;
It will fall violently on the head of the wicked.
24 The fierce anger of the Lord will not return until He has done it,
And until He has performed the intents of His heart.

In the latter days you will consider it.

Jeremiah 31: - The Remnant of Israel Saved

31:
1 "At the same time," says the Lord, "I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people."

2 Thus says the Lord:

"The people who survived the sword
Found grace in the wilderness —
Israel, when I went to give him rest."

3 The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying:
"Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love;
Therefore, with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
4 Again I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt,
O virgin of Israel!
You shall again be adorned with your tambourines,
And shall go forth in the dances of those who rejoice.
5 You shall yet plant vines on the mountains of Samaria;
The planters shall plant and eat them as ordinary food.
6 For there shall be a day
When the watchmen will cry on Mount Ephraim,
'Arise, and let us go up to Zion,
To the Lord our God.'"

"Sing with gladness for Jacob,
And shout among the chief of the nations;
Proclaim, give praise, and say,
'O Lord, save Your people,
The remnant of Israel!'
8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country,
And gather them from the ends of the earth,
Among them the blind and the lame,
The woman with child
And the one who labours with child, together;
A great throng shall return there.
9 They shall come with weeping,
And with supplications I will lead them.
I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters,
In a straight way in which they shall not stumble;
For I am a Father to Israel,
And Ephraim is My firstborn.

10 "Hear the word of the Lord, O nations,
And declare it in the isles afar off, and say,
'He who scattered Israel will gather him,
And keep him as a shepherd does his flock.'
11 For the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
And ransomed him from the hand of one stronger than he.
12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion,
Streaming to the goodness of the Lord —
For wheat and new wine and oil,
For the young of the flock and the herd;
Their souls shall be like a well-watered garden,
And they shall sorrow no more at all.
13 "Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance,
And the young men and the old, together;
For I will turn their mourning to joy,
Will comfort them,
And make them rejoice rather than sorrow.
14 I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance,
And My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the Lord."

Mercy on Ephraim

15 Thus says the Lord:

"A voice was heard in Ramah,
Lamentation and bitter weeping,
Rachel weeping for her children,
Refusing to be comforted for her children,
Because they are no more."

16 Thus says the Lord:

"Refrain your voice from weeping,
And your eyes from tears;
For your work shall be rewarded, says the Lord,
And they shall come back from the land/world of the enemy.
17 There is hope in your future, says the Lord,
That your children shall come back to their own border.

18 "I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself:
'You have chastised me, and I was chastised,
Like an untrained bull;
Restore me, and I will return,
For You are the Lord my God.
19 Surely, after my turning, I repented;
And after I was instructed, I struck myself on the thigh;
I was ashamed, yes, even humiliated,
Because I bore the reproach of my youth.'
20 Is Ephraim My dear son?
Is he a pleasant child?
For though I spoke against him,
I earnestly remember him still;
Therefore, My heart yearns for him;
I will surely have mercy on him, says the Lord.

21 "Set up signposts,
Make landmarks;
Set your heart toward the highway,
The way in which you went.
Turn back, O virgin of Israel,
Turn back to these your cities.
22 How long will you gad about,
O you backsliding daughter?
For the Lord has created a new thing in the earth —
A woman shall encompass a man."

Future Prosperity of Judah

23 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: "They shall again use this speech in the country of Judah and in its cities, when I bring back their captivity: 'The Lord bless you, O home of justice, and religion of holiness!' 24 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all its cities together, farmers and those going out with flocks. 25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul."

26 After this I awoke and looked around, and my sleep was sweet to me.

27 "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast. 28 And it shall come to pass, that as I have watched over them to pluck up, to break down, to throw down, to destroy, and to afflict, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, says the Lord. 29 In those days they shall say no more:

'The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
And the children's teeth are set on edge.'

30 But everyone shall die for his own iniquity; every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

A New Covenant

31 "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make like new again the covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah — 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the country of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the Lord. 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 No more shall every man teach his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."

35 Thus says the Lord,
Who gives the sun for a light by day,
The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,
Who disturbs the sea,
And its waves roar
(The Lord of hosts is His name):

36 "If those ordinances depart
From before Me, says the Lord,
Then the seed of Israel shall also cease
From being a nation before Me forever."

37 Thus says the Lord:

"If heaven above can be measured,
And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
I will also cast off all the seed of Israel
For all that they have done, says the Lord.

38 "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that the city shall be built for the Lord from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. 39 The surveyor's line shall again extend straight forward over the hill Gareb; then it shall turn toward Goath. 40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the Brook Kidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be holy to the Lord. It shall not be plucked up or thrown down anymore forever."

Jesus returns in fire and final judgement (The End) there won't be a 1,000 year millennial kingdom on this earth at the Lord's return as many claim, it's fire time (The End)

The 144,000 are the predestined chosen remnant Jews that will be saved and "Added To The Church On Earth", just as all believers are predestined and chosen, National Israel will be blind and not obtain salvation

Romans 11:7KJV
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

In the latter days you will consider it.
Proof that Jeremiah 30 and most other Prophesies are about end time events.
The holy Land will be cleared and cleansed by the Lord, Deuteronomy 32:34-43, and the Christian peoples will live there.

Isaiah 49:14-23 Zion says: The Lord has forsaken me. The Lord says: Can a woman forget her child? I shall never forget you. I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands. Your dwellings are always before My eyes.

Your people will hasten back, while your enemies depart. Look around, your children gather and come to you. They will be as ornaments in the Land.
Once the Land was desolate. Your enemies are now far away. The children born while the Land was occupied by foreigners will now say: This place is too small for us. Zion will say; who bore these children, when I was deserted, where did they come from?

The Lord says; I shall signal to the nations, they will carefully transport My people to their Promised Land. Kings will be your sponsors and great people will serve and honour you. You will know that I am the Lord, none who trust in Me will be disappointed.

Zion:
The holy Land, forsaken and desolate, Jeremiah 22:6-7, Hosea 4:3, that is how it will be after the next prophesied event: The Lord’s Day of vengeance and wrath, an explosion of the sun, directed at the Middle East that will clear and cleanse the entire area. Currently most of the holy Land is occupied by atheists or false religion worshippers. The Jews will be judged, Zechariah 13:7-9, Ezekiel 30:1-5, Hosea 4:3, Zephaniah 1:18, 2 Peter 3:7

‘the enemies depart, they are now far away’: Psalms 83 and Micah 4:11 tell us how the surrounding nations and entities all hate Israel and want to ‘wipe them off the map’. Those attackers will all be killed, some by their own weapons; Psalms 7:12-16, and the rest of the inhabitants will flee. Jeremiah 49:4-5 & 35-37

Your people will hasten back’: A part of Judah has returned, but very few are true believers and Judah now faces judgement. Only a remnant will survive in Jerusalem after the Lord cleanses all of the holy Land of every wicked and ungodly person. Isaiah 6:13, Isaiah 66:15-17, Romans 9:27 All true Christians are the Lord’s people, His elect: Romans 9:24-26, Psalms 24:3-5, Malachi 3:16-17

The Lord’s people, all those who put their trust in Him’: Christians from every race, nation and language, will be gathered and transported to all the area from the Nile to the Euphrates. Isaiah 66:18b-20, Psalms 107, Jer. 23:3-4, Zechariah 9:16 On that Day their God will save them, they will sparkle like jewels in the Land.

‘The Promised Land’: will be regenerated and become fruitful. Joel 2:21-24, Psalms 126:1-5

Ezekiel 36:8-12 You, mountains of Israel, put forth your branches and bear fruit, for the homecoming of your people is near. Isaiah 51:3

Isaiah 35:1-10 Let the desert be glad, let it flower and rejoice!...Be strong, My people, fear not: your God comes to save you with His vengeance and retribution. Then; understanding will be given to all who couldn’t see or comprehend the Prophetic Word.

A highway will appear and by that road, the Lord’s redeemed people will travel into their heritage. His holy people, set free will enter Zion with shouts of praise for their Redeemer. Gladness and joy will come upon them and suffering and sorrow will be gone.


Psalms 48:11-14 The hills of Zion rejoice, Judah’s cities are glad. Walk about the holy Land, count the towers. Note the fortifications and buildings, so that you can tell about them to the coming generations. For this God is our God, our guide and protector, now and forever.

Psalms 69:35-36 For God will deliver Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah. The children of those who serve Him will inherit the Land and those who love His Name will dwell there.

Isaiah 55:11-13 You will go out with joy and be led forth in peace....the Land will rejoice at your coming. Reference: Revised English Bible, some verses abridged.



That all this happens before the Return of Jesus in His glory, is made clear by Isaiah 49:23,

you will know that I am the Lord’’. First, His people will gather and settle in all of the holy Land. Those who serve the Lord will inherit the Land. Psalms 126:1-5

All this is prophesied to happen as all the faithful Christians prepare for the eventual Millennial reign of Jesus.

In the later days the People of Israel will reflect on the recorded Biblical stories of the past and God's goodness and decide to return once more to the Lord's place of connection wherever they are living scattered throughout the whole earth they will draw near to worship God.

The Mountain of Zion will be the basis in which they will reconnect with God as it will become the largest mountain in all of the earth.

The Genesis 15:17ff "Promised Land" will not figure in their desire to return to the Lord as that sign given was to confirm, when they had possession of the prescribed land, that they will inherit the whole earth in Eternity.

This is what God meant in Jeremiah 29 where He had written: - " In the latter days you will consider it." Israel as a whole will reflect on God's Goodness to them in the days of Old and will then seek out God's terms of peace and enter into His covenant relationship with them once more.

Shalom

2 Corinthians 5:17
If any one is in Christ, that one is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

GOD'S PROMISES TO HIS PEOPLE (THOSE WHO OVERCOME)

(1) They will eat of the Tree of Life (Revelation 2:7)
(2) They will not be hurt by the Second Death (Revelation 2:11)
(3) They will eat Hidden Manna and receive a New Name (Revelation 2:17)
(4) They will be given power over the nations (Revelation 2:26)
(5) Their names will not be blotted out of the Book of Life (Revelation 3:5)
(6) They will be made a Pillar in the Temple of God (Revelation 3:12)
(7) They will sit with Christ in His Throne (Revelation 3:21)
(8) They will inherit All Things (Revelation 21:7)

βασιλεύσει (He will reign) forever and ever: Revelation 11:15 (Christ).
βασιλεύσουσιν (they will reign) on the earth: Revelation 5:10 (those who overcome).
βασιλεύσουσιν (they will reign) with Christ a thousand years: Revelation 20:6 (those who overcame).
βασιλεύσουσιν (they will reign) forever and ever: Revelation 22:5.

Revelation 22:3-5
“And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God gives them light: and they will reign (βασιλεύσουσιν) for ever and ever.”

Revelation Chapter 7 - the multitude who came out from Great Tribulation


15-17 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve Him day and night in His temple. And He sitting on the throne will dwell among them. They will not hunger any more, nor thirst any more, nor will the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will feed them, and will lead them to the fountains of living waters. And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Revelation Chapter 21

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. And the sea no longer is.
2 And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of Heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her Husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of Heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God.
4 And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there will be no more death, nor mourning, nor crying out, nor will there be any more pain; for the first things passed away.

5 And He sitting on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said to me, Write, for these words are true and faithful.
6 And He said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who thirsts I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely.

7 He who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son.

8 But the fearful, and the unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, will have their part in the Lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

The New Testament is in Christ's blood. He has made all things new.​
A New Covenant

"If heaven above can be measured, And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
I will also cast off all the seed of Israel For all that they have done, says the Lord.
Romans 11:5
Even so then, in this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

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

Fulfilled nearly 2,000 years ago:

And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my (new) covenant unto them (Jeremiah 31:31-33), when I shall take away their sins (Matthew 26:28): For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.​

Keraz, There's too much interpretation of the promises contained in Old Testament prophecies going on in your posts after you have isolated them from the promises contained in the New Testament prophecies, and interpreted them all by themselves, IMO,:
Jeremiah 30:23-24 See what a fiery wind has gone out from the Lord. A whirlwind that sweeps around the heads of the wicked, the Lord’s anger is not to be turned aside until He has fully accomplished His purpose.

Faith in Jesus is the only basis upon which anyone reconnects with God, or ever will reconnect with God.

But you have come to Mount Zion
and to the city of the living God,

the heavenly Jerusalem,
and to an innumerable company of angels,
to the general assembly and church of the first-born
who are written in Heaven,
and to God the judge of all,
and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant,
and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
(Hebrews 12:22-24)​

"For Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to Jerusalem which now is, and is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem from above is free, who is the mother of us all." (Galatians 4:25-26).

AH, Fullness of the Gentiles you have blindly accepted what has been mistranslated from the Greek in Hebrews 6:24: - and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, which should have been understood to be translated as: -

and to Jesus the new Mediator of the covenant,

If Jesus came and stated that He did come to alter any part of the "Law" then why are you claiming that Jesus did change the Law to bring in a "Brand New Covenant."

Daniel in Daniel 9:24b clearly states that Jesus only came to bring in a changed process by which all of mankind would be redeemed by Christs death on the Cross." When Jesus spoke of the Law, he came to refresh the Law and to make the Law applicable to our relationship with God.

Has not Jesus become our High Priest in the order of Melchizedek?

Hebrews 5:6: - 6 as he says also in another place,
"Thou art a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek."

The "neas" in this verse has been wrongly associated with the word "covenant" instead of being associated with the word "mediator" as it is presented in the Greek text. This verse has been translated with the theological bias of the "New Covenant theology."

Yes, you have highlighted what has been promised, but in doing so you are also misleading the reader with your biased understanding of their being a brand new covenant. This understanding is so wrong.

All the unfulfilled Prophesies in the Bible; OT and NT, when properly understood, make one coherent picture of all the forthcoming end time events, leading up to Eternity.
'Interpretation' of the plainly described disaster of the Sixth Seal event and of the Lords amazing Promises to His peoples after He has disposed of the enemies, is not required. They will all happen as Written. [allegories and metaphors excepted]
Revelation Chapter 7 - the multitude who came out from Great Tribulation
Revelation Chapter 7:1-14, Prophesies events to take place soon after the Sixth Seal, of great tribulation to all the world. Then the Lords faithful people will gather in the holy land, when they will be divided into 12 groups, named after the sons of Jacob. 12,000 missionaries will be selected from each of them by Jesus, Revelation 14:1-7, who is revealed to His own, 2 Thess 1:6-10.

But Revelation 7:15-17 jumps to the Eternal state, to come after the Millennium. Proved by how it is then that God will wipe away every tear..... Revelation 21:4

Sadly in your zeal to prove your biased understanding you have deliberately edited the part of my post that you quoted.

Even the jews do not have your understanding of Jeremiah 31:31

This is what I had posted: -

A New Covenant

31 "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make like new again the covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah — 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the country of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the Lord. 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 No more shall every man teach his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."

I did not change the introduced headings which has the bias of a Brand New Covenant, which we know that Christ did not come to introduce. Remember Christ did not come to change any part of the Law but to fulfil it. The Covenant of our salvation has been the same since the time of Adam. Nothing has changed.

Start a new thread instead of hi-jacking this one.
Plenty of proof that there will be a New Covenant made between Jesus and His faithful people, when they go to live in all of the holy Land.
One of the great Promises of the Lord to His people!

How can I rebut what has been posted in this thread by @Fullness of the Gentiles if I start a new thread.

It was appropriate that I posted the two rebuttals above in this thread.

As I have been saying for a very long time, your understanding of where God is going to Gather the Israelites to Himself, is not to the "land of Israel" but God intends to plant the Israelites in the fertile "soil of Christ/Israel," his faithful servant and will teach them on the religion of Israel where they have been scattered throughout the whole world in the valleys and besides the rivers and streams where they are presently living.

For the Abrahamic Covenant to be fulfilled, the nation of the Israelites must remain scattered throughout the world so that they will be God's possession among the nations. That is the covenant in Jeremiah 31:31ff that God intends to renew once again with the Israelites which they had rebelled against while Moses was up on the mountain speaking face to face with God.

Israel cannot fulfill God purposes to be a blessing to all of the nations if they are not scattered amongst the nations as you are advocating for by claiming that the Israelites must return to the lost "Promised Land" to be reconciled with God once more.

Keraz, you really need to open your eyes and ears to see and hear what God has prophetically written in His Scriptures.

You have twisted God's scriptures so much in your own mind that you do not know what you are doing.

Goodbye now.

That the Prophetic Word conflicts with your beliefs, is your problem. The gathering of the faithful Christian peoples into all of the holy Land, is well supported Biblically:
Isaiah 65:9 My chosen people, those who serve Me, will inherit the holy Land.
Psalms 69:32-36....Those who serve Me will live there....
Romans 9:24-26 The Christian peoples will be called the children of the Living God, in the very place where ancient Israel was rejected.

Right; We Christians have nothing to do with the Jewish State of Israel.
They represent the House of Judah, which is Prophesied to be Judged and punished in the forthcoming Day of the Lord's fiery wrath. Only a Messianic Christian remnant will survive. Romans 9:27

But we Christians are the Overcomers for God, literally His faithful Israelites, from every tribe, race, nation and language. Revelation 5:9-10
GOD BLESS ISRAEL
Is it you habit to ignore the Lords instructions? Or have you simply not actually read the Bible?
We are plainly told to NOT pray for the House of Judah, Jeremiah 14:19-12, Jeremiah 11:14

AH, Jay Ross, I see you're one of the people corrupting the gospel - the truth - and changing the message contained in the scriptures and its meaning, even while you accuse @Keraz of doing the same.

All of that Old Covenant with all of its laws and commandments was nothing more than A SHADOW of the fruit of the Spirit, which fulfills the law and is written into our hearts BY THE HOLY SPIRIT as the New Covenant promise in Jeremiah 31 promised, and it fulfills God's intention, God's purpose that lies behind the letter of the law, which is the law of Moses and its commandments.

The Mosaic law and its commandments (including the ten commandments) is the God-breathed instruction in righteousness which exposes our sin and is our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that through faith in Him and abiding in Him, the fruit of the Holy Spirit, which fulfills the law and commandments, can be produced in us. That's how we walk in the Spirit.

Jesus said He did not come to abolish the law, but to FULFILL it, and fulfill it He did, and as a result the letter of the law contained in the Mosaic law and commandments was ABOLISHED IN HIS FLESH when He shed His blood and died for sins, when the New Covenant REPLACED the Old Covenant - which was based on the people's obedience to the law and the commandments written in scrolls and tables of stone, and though it is meant to give life, it only brings death because of human sin making us all incapable of obeying it.

We are incapable of obeying it but the fruit of the Spirit seen in those who abide in Christ FULFILLS the law.

Jesus is the mediator of the NEW Covenant. NOT a "New" mediator of the old one that Moses was the mediator of.
If that's what you are saying or what your post meant, then you're corrupting the gospel and the scriptures even while you accuse @Keraz of corrupting the scriptures, and you are seeking to keep others adhering to the same corruption.​
