Reformed Eschatology Ping List (REPL)

"For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled." (Luke 21:22)

[fortheDeclaration]

The fulfillment of Zechariah 13:8 is a past event. It may have had its fulfillment in the events leading up to and including the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.

It has?

The Jews have said that Christ is their God?

Christ said the last days would be the worst in human history (Mat.24:21) which 70 AD doesn't qualify as.

As for the intercalation, the author is right, we believe that God is using the Church today, not Israel.

But I noticed that he doesn't give our New Testament scriptural justification for it, it is based on the reading in Rom.11:25-28.

7) The promised Deliverer will come out of Zion and the nation will be saved (Romans 11:25-29). That the Christian now inherits the distinctive Jewish promises is not taught in Scripture. The Christian is of the heavenly seed of Abraham ; Genesis 15:5,6; Galatians 3:29 and partakes of the spiritual blessings of the Abrahamic Covenant.

It should be noted that when Scofield wrote his notes, there was no nation of Israel in existance.
