***How maddening.

I’m not that much of a mathematician . . . but even I know

That IF ALL THINGS = A-Z

then C is a subset of all things.

Sheesh.

It’s not rocket science to realize that the RESTORATION OF ISRAEL is a logical subset of the restoration of all things given the context of the verse AND the context of the whole of Scirpture!***

Ok, Quix, take a deep breath. If the restoration of all things is literally the restoration of all things when the Lord returns, then what will be left to restore after this thousand years the Dispies talk about? Answer: nothing. This means that the heavens and the earth will be restored at the return of the Lord.

Understand now. I realize that I may be qualified to teach rocket science, but I do try and explain things in a way that other people can understand. ;^)

But, that doesn’t even address that you have assumed a restoration of the nation of Israel and read it into the text and then used it to prove the restoration of Israel. Circular logic. You must prove the restoration of Israel elsewhere. And you must deal with the fact of the restoration of all things coincident with a single event.

I think that it would be reasonable to conclude that God will restore "All the Things" that He said He would restore -- and part of that is the kingdom to Israel. Why is that so unreasonable???
