Sorry, but your reply does not give enough details as to what you are trying to present. For me it is just meaningless gibberish on your part. I need a properly fleshed out explanation so as to understand what it is you are claiming. It seems to me that you are complicating the Biblical story and how we can come to understand both the Old and New Testaments and how they are intertwined.

Your answer is too cryptic to make much sense at all for me. Can you please provide an expanded explanation so that everybody can understand what you are trying to say.
The purpose of OT writings was to give people a record of God's dealings with them and to point to a greater hope, the embodiment which was in the promises made to the Patriarchs from Adam and in particular Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Ultimately these promises were fulfilled in Jesus as Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 1:20 'For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.'

The understanding of this seems to elude most believers because they do not see how the promises and Jesus, relate. They then for the most part see the Jesus story as largely seperate from OT history. They then cobble selective prophecies and create scenario's which major on present day geographical Israel. ......and then, when they can't or don't want to see the connections they assume my statements are cryptic.

I am not cryptic at all. They have constructed a paradigm which disables them from seeing....just as the Jews did with their Messiah they refused to recognise.

Why lump so many in the lack of understanding. I believe the majority not the minority, understand the bible and know what Christ accomplished on the Cross.

What I am reading in your post is SDA flawed logic.

God's promise that He would remove the evil beasts from the earth for a period of time has no bearing on Christ's fulfilment of the Covenantal Promises. God, when he begins drawing the Israelites back to Himself will plant the Israelites in His fertile soil/field and that He will teach them about the stone that will come down from heaven, which is the foundation stone for the Gentiles and Israelites' relationship with God, where the Israelites are scattered throughout the whole earth so as to embrace the Kingdom of Priests, a Holy Nation and His possession among the nations which will be made like new again.

By my calculations based upon Christs teachings on the Mt Olivett the night before He was crucified, the completion of the visitation of the fathers' iniquities will end in around 20 years from now, as Paul wrote, the fulness with respect to time of the Gentiles will be completed, after which all of Israel will be saved.

Just because I have based my post above upon OT prophecy, that does not mean that I have removed Christ from His role of being Israel's Saviour and Messiah. I have not removed Christ from the Role that He will play in Israel's salvation nor denied that Christ will become the Bridegroom for Israel when they repent of all of their sins against God.

QT, your slip is showing, and I am not that interested in what the product is that you have on offer.

I s'pose the authorities don't mind starving others, dropping bombs and missiles on then, cozying up to the Americans or is it they run the Americans?, thumbing their noses at other global authorities who recognise their oppressive methods but when it comes to a fire in their back yard they can't manage it.....kinda pathetic don't you think?

Update !

The God of Israel Did It Again

May 02, 2025

Dear friends,
We’re grateful to share that the fires in the Jerusalem Hills have been fully contained. After nearly 30 hours of intense flames threatening communities, forests, and lives—by God’s mercy and through the tireless efforts of emergency teams—the danger has passed. Roads have reopened, families are returning home, and no lives were lost.
The God of Israel did it again.
Thank you for your prayers, your tears, your urgency in the Spirit. Heaven heard. Though more than 5,000 acres were burned, we are not defeated. We declare life, restoration, and abundance over the land.
We will plant every tree again. And we are praying—not only for restoration—but for supernatural flourishing. That what was scorched will blossom with greater beauty than before. That the covenant land of Israel will sing again.
“The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad;
the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the rose.
It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing.”
— Isaiah 35:1–2
Thank you for standing with Israel. Thank you for standing in faith.
With love and deep gratitude,
Tania Curado-Koenig
