Well, Avoice, what you say is reasonably accurate.
You think the Jews will build the new Temple? Haven't you read the many prophesies that say Judah will be judged and punished for their apostasy? Are the current inhabitants of Israel the people God wants to be there?
No, and Jeremiah 12:14, Isaiah 4:3, Zechariah 13:9 plus many other prophesies will happen. It is the Lord's righteous people, who will gather and settle in all of the Holy Land. Ezekiel 34:11-31
They will build the Temple, described in Ezekiel; Zechariah 6:15, they will be the light to the nations, Isaiah 49:8 and they will say to Jesus as He Returns in glory: Blessed is He that comes in the Name of the Lord.
Mr keras it does not matter what I think I know what the bible says Judah has already been judged have you not read of the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D. for 1900 years there was no Jewish state.
Have you not read that God promises to bring them back ? Are you then saying God lied ? God does not change nor does he lie. I suggest you learn much more before you start putting your words in Gods mouth as fact.
Your mixing of apples and oranges proves nothing. You may have read the scripture but your ability to rightly divide is pitiful.
May I suggest you read of the two baskets of figs in Jer 24. this directed at Jews/Judah and covers their history and future ...Of the bad figs God says I will deliver them to trouble into all the kingdoms of the earth, for their harm, to be a reproach and a byword, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them. 10 And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, till they are consumed from the land that I gave to them and their fathers.’”
This is exactly what happened and for 1900 years this was the case.
Now of the good figs God makes a promise not only to bring them back to never Pluck them up ...
4 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
5 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge those who are carried away captive from Judah, whom I have sent out of this place for their own good, into the land of the Chaldeans.
6 For I will set My eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land;
I will build them and not pull them down, and I will plant them and not pluck them up.
7 Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the Lord; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with their whole heart.
God began to do just that in 1948 ... And while they will be joined with Christians under Jesus Christ before the millieum begins we are not there yet .
As with all rightly divided scripture there is always a second witness to what is said ...Because to be true a thing must have 2 or 3 witness another rule for proper bible understanding so lets find the second witness. Remember here the gentile is grafted into Israel.
Eze. 37 :15 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
16 “As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: ‘
For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim,
and for all the house of Israel, his companions.’
17 Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and they will become one in your hand.
18 “And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Will you not show us what you mean by these?’—
19 say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Surely I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim,
and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand.”’
20 And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.
21 “Then say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side
and bring them into their own land;
22 and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all;
they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again.
The two nations spoken of here are Christians and Jews and both are brought together in their own land in Israel.
Now what have learned here for 1900 years Gods people were all scattered both Jew and those who became Christians/ Christian Nations
Judah/Jews were scattered among the nations and the bad ones died ...
The good ones were pr
omised to return and never be plucked up again.
Gods house is divided into two sticks/branches one has become Christ followers the other stick/branch remained Jews.
First God fulfill his promise and will return the Jews/figs/Judah to their land ... then he will use the end times to open their eyes
The other stick/branch Christ followers will join them at his return and he will make us all one stick in his hand.
"they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again"
If you do not understand God has a plan and all things must therefore be understood and fit into the light of Gods blueprint.
Your just winging it.
Everything must be proven against the word and weighed against His plan of the ages...not mens ideas of the word with no clue of his plan.
P.S.
(And by the way in reading some of your other posts
Christ returns at the 7th trump that begins the Lords Day not the 6th seal as you claim
have you read Rev. 11:15 when the Seventh Trumpet: The Kingdom Proclaimed
15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms[f] of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!
If you rightly divide the seals you will see there is a pattern the first 4 happen on earth ...the next three take place in heaven .. The saints cry out ask how long till they are avenged ... in the 6th seal God answers them with a description of the 7th trump/the Lords day (his day of both reward for the faithful and wrath for the wicked... the 7th seal is prayers an
d angels given the 7th trumpets to sound ...since Christ returns
at the sound of the 7th trumpet and the trumpets are not even handed
out to the 7th seal, then its impossible for him to return in the 6th seal .. And Gods wrath is poured out in the 7 last vials after the 7th trump has sounded and not before ...shock that is why the vials/bowls are called the wrath of God ..BTW believers/overcomers are not appointed to his wrath I Thessalonians 5:9
that's rightly dividing.
It really makes no difference if you agree or not, you can never prove scripture wrong.
I only bother because your misleading people with wrongly diving of the word.
Its simply a matter of seeing/hearing and rightly diving what scripture says.
