Thanks for those verses.
#1. these two I can go with, but, a little iffy, but I can go with that because understand INDIVIDUAL men, meaning (males and Females) are either Olives trees, or wild grapes, or briers and thorns.
do you understand this? listen, Israel as a Nation, is look upon as a vineyard of a variety of Plants, not just olives, but grapes as well. I'll point this out later in the topic. when I get to it I'll remind you with these "****" ok.
#2. I hope you're not using this passage of scripture in your Identity as to where the two witness come from, because if you do, Jeremiah 11:16 "The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
Jeremiah 11:17 "For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.
see he CALLED them a Olive tree, but turn out to be thorn and briers
let's check the record, Isaiah 5:3 "And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
Isaiah 5:4 "What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
Isaiah 5:5 "And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
Isaiah 5:6 "And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
Isaiah 5:7 "For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
#3. WELL, WELL, WELL, you left something out. you left out the "remnant" the vine which the TRUE VINE is to come. listen, Isaiah 17:6 "Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel".
AS, AS, AS, the shaking of an olive tree, but is not . see grapes are not olives.
here again as, the olive tree. the olive is "A" individual person, not a nation.
see there is no tree in Israel any moer ... NOT OUTSIDE THE LORD JESUS, listen,
John 15:1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
John 15:2 "Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. (SEE, you're not a tree but a branch, understand now)
John 15:3 "Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
John 15:4 "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
John 15:5 "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
John 15:6 "If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned".
see, if is a man abide. but in Isaiah 5:7 "For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant
there is no more a plant, why because the tree have been cut foo, listen, Zechariah 6:12 "And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD". this is the ROOT out of dry ground".
a testament is "a", "A", "a", witness, meaning an "INDIVIDUAL" for a covenant consist of two person.
so an INDIVIDUAL is one each of the two witness.
Hope this helped.
