...and if Isaiah was written for the Body of Christ, I would have to agree. But it wasn't. It was written for Israel. As ALL prophecy was. WE are a MYSTERY, HID in God, since the world began. And A SECRET, from the foundation of the world. Read Eph. 3:2,3,5,6, and 9; Rom. 16:25,26 (we were CHOSEN BEFORE the world began); and Eph. 1:4.

As opposed to Israel, which was the whole point of PROPHECY, prophesied in Scripture since the world began (Acts 3:21).

If you rightly divided God's word of truth, it would be clear to you. Now, if something is PROPHESIED since the world began, and something is SECRET, HIDDEN, since the world began, they CANNOT be the same thing. One is KNOWN, and one is SECRET. Get it?

Then just the simple question: Who is the barren woman?

Why does that negate the plan from the beginning of the world?

[Errant]

What editor-surveyor is telling you is correct. Prophecy was given that we know the end from the beginning. The Almighty's plan is for Jew and gentile alike!

The "church" (those in Messiah) will indeed witness much of the tribulation, as the scriptures clearly show. Those in Messiah will be called up on the day of the lord (in the twinkling of an eye) when the bowls of wrath will be poured out, beginning the worst of the tribulation (the wrath).
