the sacrifice was abolished at the cross, Jesus is our sacrifice.
Jesus is ruling now, in the hearts of the Body of Christ, the Church.
The Church is the new Israel of God, not the Hebrew people. The Holy place of God is the Church, not some rebuilt Temple in physical Jerusalem. Jerusalem ( the Church ) is surrounded by armies, read the paper!!
your problem is you don’t understand what the Church is and it’s importance according to the Scriptures.
and yes, your beliefs are a 19th century invention, just like Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons and Seventh Day Adventists!!

That doesn't negate the fact that what the Holy Spirit tells us will happen with regard to the literal return of Christ and His literal reign on earth is absolute, literal truth and is going to happen just as certainly as the Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah were fulfilled in the Person of Jesus Christ.

During the Church Age, Jesus does rule in the hearts of those who know Him as Savior. But this age is coming to a close, and the rest of Scripture is just as factual as the Scripture which tells us that those of us who know Christ are indwelt by the Holy Spirit.

The Bible is absolute, inerrant truth from the first word in Genesis to the last word in Revelation. And all that is prophesied about the return of Christ is going to happen.

The Church is the new Israel of God, not the Hebrew people. The Holy place of God is the Church, not some rebuilt Temple in physical Jerusalem. Jerusalem ( the Church ) is surrounded by armies, read the paper!!

Oh dear. You're further gone than I thought. I can't imagine the denial of Scripture that goes into coming to the conclusion that you have.

Major problems exist with this view, such as the continuing existence of the Jewish people throughout the centuries and especially with the revival of the modern state of Israel. If Israel has been condemned by God, and there is no future for the Jewish nation, how do we explain the supernatural survival of the Jewish people over the past 2000 years despite the many attempts to destroy them? How do we explain why and how Israel reappeared as a nation in the 20th century after not existing for 1900 years?

The view that Israel and the church are different is clearly taught in the New Testament. Biblically speaking, the church is completely different and distinct from Israel, and the two are never to be confused or used interchangeably. We are taught from Scripture that the church is an entirely new creation that came into being on the day of Pentecost and will continue until it is taken to heaven at the rapture (Ephesians 1:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17). The church has no relationship to the curses and blessings for Israel. The covenants, promises, and warnings are valid only for Israel. Israel has been temporarily set aside in God's program during these past 2000 years of dispersion.

After the rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18), God will restore Israel as the primary focus of His plan. The first event at this time is the tribulation (Revelation chapters 6-19). The world will be judged for rejecting Christ, while Israel is prepared through the trials of the great tribulation for the second coming of the Messiah. Then, when Christ does return to the earth, at the end of the tribulation, Israel will be ready to receive Him. The remnant of Israel which survives the tribulation will be saved, and the Lord will establish His kingdom on this earth with Jerusalem as its capital. With Christ reigning as King, Israel will be the leading nation, and representatives from all nations will come to Jerusalem to honor and worship the King—Jesus Christ. The church will return with Christ and will reign with Him for a literal thousand years (Revelation 20:1-5).

...the strongest support for premillennialism is found in the clear teaching of Revelation 20:1-7, where it says six times that Christ's kingdom will last 1000 years. After the tribulation the Lord will return and establish His kingdom with the nation of Israel, Christ will reign over the whole earth, and Israel will be the leader of the nations. The church will reign with Him for a literal thousand years. The church has not replaced Israel in God's plan. While God may be focusing His attention primarily on the church in this dispensation of grace, God has not forgotten Israel and will one day restore Israel to His intended role as the nation He has chosen (Romans 11).

I guess you have to make a choice - deny what God has clearly said about His chosen people and remain mired in ignorance and error, or simply accept the fact that the Jews are His chosen people, they have been blinded temporarily because of their disobedience but that blindness will be lifted and they will be restored into a relationship with their God. Nowhere in Scripture does God even hint that the Church is the new Israel or that the Church has replaced Israel. No one has ever been able to produce any Biblical passages to support replacement theology. All a person does by clinging to this heresy is put himself at enmity with God. A very dangerous place to be, since God never loses.

your problem is you don’t understand what the Church is and it’s importance according to the Scriptures.

You're problem is that you're so desperate to cling to your false doctrines that you have no problem denying Scripture and allegorizing it and twisting it to fit your heresy. You have provided no Scripture whatsoever to support your false doctrine.

and yes, your beliefs are a 19th century invention, just like Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons and Seventh Day Adventists!!

You have been emphatically proven wrong, and yet you cling to your lies like a lifeline. I notice that you didn't bring up one verse of Scripture I referred you to and you didn't bring it up because Scripture absolutely demolishes your beliefs. So, in the end, you discard the truth of Scripture for your man-created lies.

I feel very sorry for you.

Mystifyingly, Scripture even indicates that there will be sacrifices during the Millenial reign of Christ.
