No the evidence is there that their language, religion, customs, culture and now Nationality is all in tact.
Keep watching the Middle East.
I pray your eyes are opened to the truth regarding The Lord and His Eternal Promises.
Yes indeed!
Facts are such stubborn things sometimes.
Agree 100%.
That said, I can't say definitively that the nation called Israel today is the nation miraculously called back from the ends of the earth in the end times.
Yet God will preserve many for that time.
Just keeping watching the news.
We’ve got a lot of unfulfilled Prophecies that need to be played out in a very short window.
The Lord is going to have to do what He must to make them return to Him.
Right. Because the customs, culture and governance of Israel was always supposed to be one of a modern, secular parliamentary state. LOL.
Dude -- they have an annual "pride" parade in Jerusalem these days.
Many (if not most) of the victims of the October 7th Hamas invasion were attending a "rave" festival in the desert. That's a strange way to celebrate the Sabbath in the middle of Shemini Atzeret/Simchat Torah, isn't it?
Agree - but that window may not be for another generation.
The next think on the prophetic calendar for Christians is being called into the heavenlies to meet Christ and to ever be with Him.
What’s your point?
I’m not defending Israel for their evil sin or obnoxious paganism with regards to that festival.
I’m pointing out that no matter what - according to the Holy Scriptures, God is going to fulfill His Eternal Promises to Israel via some massive chastisement by forcing them to run to Him for shelter.
You can either accept that Scripture (several verses upthread) or reject it and be one of those burdened with Jerusalem.
“but that window may not be for another generation.”
You really believe that with all that is about to come out of the AI Pipe?
We are practically upon arrival at the Revelation 13 technology if TPTB flip the switch.
These are fun threads to speculate on, but my initial intent in posting this didn’t include that. I’ll continue to occupy for The Lord until He calls me home.
Being the ‘chosen’ people doesn’t necessarily mean that only good things will come your way.
Have you considered that The Hand of God may be directing that unquestioning support? Even from our ungodly leadership?
And to that point, that has happened many times throughout history.
There is only one thing believers are instructed to be ready for - His imminent return to gather believers.
Today, Europe will not march against Israel in war.
Give the current muzzy invasion another generation to take over and yes it will happen.
And as you have previously stated, all Jews must become Christians to be in Heaven!
Uh , then there are the words of Jesus as it relates to Israel. I find it’s better to stick to scripture:
Matthew 21:43 “Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it.”
And then Paul too:
Galatians 3:29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
God no longer has a physical literal nation.....in Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, male nor female......
We are all Abraham’s seed according to the promise.
Dispensationalism was invented to get rid of the law and specifically, the Sabbath. That’s why the church doens’t even keep Sunday anymore. They know Sunday is not taught in the Bible. It’s the Lord’s hour not the Lord’s day.
Dispensationalism is a great deception. Protestant Reformers never bought it either.......New Theology goes like this. IF it’s new it’s seldom true and if it’s true it’s seldom new.
It’s important to Rightly Divide the Word - which no SDA has ever done because they reject futurism and Prophecy.
And strangely enough you quote Galatians 3.
In Galatians 3:13 it says this:
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.
So which is it?
Are you Judged by the Law?
Or are you redeemed from it?
It can’t be both.....LOL
The Principalities of Deception and Hatred are afoot against God’s people.
Why? Easy. It is jus a place-keeper for the one that will be reconstituted when The Prince of Peace returns to Earth to emplace His (global) Kingdom of Righteousness and Peace.
Even at Jesus' time, it was not the Israel of the Tanakh of Hezekiah.
Post WW2 Britain tried to back pedal on Balfour and restrict Jews from returning to their ancestral homeland. The British Empire fell apart quickly after. The Soviets restricted Jews from returning to their ancient homeland. The Soviet Union inevitably disintegrated. The hand of Yahweh is evident in the whole history of the Jewish people. They are the only people on the planet with a body of prophetic literature, thousands of years old, that predicted both their banishment from their ancient homeland and their regathering to the homeland, which according to the ancient Jewish prophet Isaiah would emerge again like a new born baby and is confirmed by the newspaper clipping at the start of this thread Isaiah 66:8 “Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children. Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?” says the LORD.”
Get a shiver up my spine every time I see the newspaper headline and Isaiah’s foretelling.
