FTD:That is the essential difference, that the church is not Israel and thus, does not receive those promises made to Israel in the unconditional covenants.

I was just reading Roms. 11:24 and we are grafted into the tree, but the Jews who in the end are saved are grafted into it as well. I don't think we remain distinct after we are saved.

Don't forget, while the Tribulation is taking place, the Rapture of the church is over...The wedding of the Bride takes place during the Tribulation IN HEAVEN...

You can't become the Bride AFTER the wedding takes place...

As you look at the Gospels, you see the term Friends of God, Guests at the Marriage supper of the Lamb, etc...

Whoever gets saved during the Tribulation will go to heaven but will not be part of the Bride of Christ...

The Bride (the church) will reign with Jesus Christ and Judge the angels and those coming out of the Tribulation and those that get saved during the Millennium...

When the fullness of Gentiles is brought in, then the Body of Christ is removed.

Rom.11:26-29 refer to the New Covenant mentioned in Heb.8:8-10 and Jer.31-33, Ezek 34:23-31).

Both the Church and Israel are from the same Abrahamic root, but both receive different blessings.

The Church is Christ's pure bride (1Cor.11:2 Eph.5:30).

Israel is an adulterous wife, who is reconciled with her Husband, God the Father (Hos.2:14-20)
