What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

Yep, so much for the theory that "no more sea" means no nations.

The problem is Rev has symbolic language, but also literal language and turning literal language into symbolic is a big issue.

I think Marilyn is intelligent enough to know the sea relates to the nations, peoples etc spoken of in Rev 21. It's so obvious it cannot be missed!

Allow me to push you even further!

"And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon to shine in it" verse 23

This is not saying the Sun and Moon will literally be gone also LOL

What do these symbols represent? @VictoryinJesus

The Nations?
To Reveal Gods Way of a Kingdom, a Head Authority King.

Israel?
Intent of An Example, of an Earthly Kingdom, Earthly King, in servitude and willing subjection to Gods Higher Power.

Body of Christ?
Allow Earthly men To SEE, what they could Not Believe, by Oral Teaching / and Manifestation of Prophecy.

Glory to God,

Eventually the earth and its population will become all Israel of God.

I do believe a day will come in which Gods Heavenly Kingdom shall encompass Heaven and Earth… Shall that One “all encompassing Kingdom of God”, be called ISRAEL and the “MADE Whole” citizens thereof Gods all encompassing Kingdom, be Called “ISRAELITES”?
I don’t find such Teaching…
Rather, what I find IS: “such citizens/ inhabitants… Shall be Called by God “my people”.

Rom 9:
[25] As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.

(Osee…aka Hosia) reference.

Hos. 2:
[23] And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.

Presently “Israel” Is “Gods People”.
Future “Gods People” are not limited to only “Israel”.
