dop,
I do not care personally what anyone else believes - I just
have to have a studied conviction internally as to what is
true. I posted on another thread that being a lightening rod
isn’t bad, if you’re well grounded!
Having said that, I believe you should reread some of your
posts and ask yourself whether Christ would want you to
express yourself toward other believers in the way you did.
I think we all need that at times.
As to flat out heresy, well, Paul called the heretics and
legalists “Dogs”. :-)
Frankly, apart from Romans, which I understand far
differently than you as to the restoration of Israel,
and I find that idea repeated from the OT onwards...
... most importantly, in Jeremiah 23:7,8
“7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that
they shall no more say, As Jehovah liveth, who brought up
the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 8 but, As
Jehovah liveth, who brought up and who led the seed of the
house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the
countries whither I had driven them. And they shall dwell
in their own land.”

After the restoration of Israel, the Jews will no longer talk
about being delivered from Egypt. The restoration will be so
incredible that the nation of Israel in its restored land
will talk about the restoration.
Jews still celebrate the deliverance from Egypt. Some day,
that will be eclipsed by something more dramatic.
I will end this post here. If too much information is covered
in each post, it becomes difficult to follow.
best,

And didn't that happen when Cyrus told the Jews they could go home? Why bump that to 1948?
