Then how will the nations of the earth surround and over run Jerusalem- Zechariah 12 and zechariah 14
When Jesus took the kingdom from national Israel, he said he was going to give it to a nation which will bear fruit.
Which “nation” was this?
Spain? Turkey? Russia. China? United States?
No! He was speaking spiritually, he was going to give it to the Church, which Peter calls a holy nation.
There are two nations or kingdoms if you will in this world that God is concerned about.
Satan’s kingdom and the kingdom of God’s Son.
The Jews of Jesus time did not understand the types and shadows contained in the OT, I would think someone who says they are a Christian pastor would.
Zechariah is describing the Church being surrounded, hello, have you read the newspapers for the last 50 years?
The two witnesses have been killed ( the Church ) and the world rejoices.
There is a very small remnant that still holds to the one holy Catholic and apostolic Faith.
The Bible is a spiritual book, concerned with spiritual matters.
