Have either of you ever considered the idea that Hebrews through Revelation were written to future believers, i.e. those who are going through the tribulation and are enduring to the end to enter the kingdom Christ will establish upon His return? I'll give you just a few reasons I believe this is the case: These last 9 books of the NT look toward the "ages to come" and focus on the final stage of Israel's prophetic program. They offer edification and equipping to the these "last day" saints. Obviously they begin with the letter to the Hebrews. So the middle wall of partition that had been removed during the time of grace (Romans through Philemon) is back up, and Jews and Gentiles are separate again.

These 9 books were pre-authorized by Jesus Christ (John 14:25,26; John 16:12,13; Daniel 12:4). THe body of information He promised would come to equip them to handle the last days of Israel's judgment is found in these 9 books.

The focus in on the Ages to Come: (Heb. 2:3-5 James 5:7-11; 1 Peter 2:9; (Exodus 19:5,6; 2 Pet. 1:10; 2 Pet. 3:1-4; Jude 17-28, 24-25; and Rev. 1:1-3,9,10). The emphasis is on the FINAL FULFILLMENT OF ISRAEL'S EARTHLY PROGRAM.

The Middle Wall is back up: (Heb.1:1,2; Heb. 2:1-4; Heb.3:1-6; James 1:1; 1 Pet.1:1; 1 Pet. 2:9-13; 1 John.1:1-3, Rev. 2:2,9,etc. and Rev. 7:3-8).

If read in this light, you will see that Israel is in a parallel situation during the Tribulation that they were in in Acts.(Jer. 30:7, Dan. 9).

The Remnant is scattered (Acts 2:5, 39; Acts 8:1; James 1:1, 1 Pet. 1:1; 5:13; Rev. 2-3). The Nation is in an apostate, rebellious condition: (Acts 4:8-12, Mark 7; Matt. 23). THe spirit of Anti-Christ is operating to deceive Israel so they do not believe Jesus is the Christ: (1 John 2:18, 4:1-3; Dan. 11:31-36; Mark 13:22).

There is a need to explain the delay in fulfilling the prophetic program: (Acts 10:29; 15:9-14; 18:26-28; 2 Pet. 3:9,15; Isa. 42:14, Hosea 5:15; Luke 12:45).

They are facing the coming destruction of the Temple and the City of Jerusalem: (Matt. 23:38; 24:1,2,15; Luke 21:20-24; John 4:19-24; Acts 6: 7,14; Matt. 24:15; Dan. 8:9-12). Israel's confederacy with the Gentiles: (Acts 4:27; Dan. 9:17, Isa. 8:12; Dan. 11:22,23).
