They want so badly to be Israel. To be a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, who have been called out of darkness into His marvellous light. 1 Pet. 2:9. The people of God, the apple of His eye and a blessing to all nations. They want so badly to believe that Jesus Christ has given them the power to bring His Kingdom to fruition so He may reign and they will be a Nation of Priests to all the world. They want it so badly that they are willing to give up what He has promised the Church the Body of Christ. And would rather think of themselves as suffering Spiritual Israel.

They gave up what was freely offered to them. And exchanged it for a lie.

"Catholics, Get Ready to Suffer" is a true-ism. When the tribulation hits, the delusion that is sent to them will show them what "suffering" truly means. They won't accept the escape from the wrath of God through the gospel of the grace of God and His promise to us that we are saved from HIS WRATH. God's offer of reconciliation to man, 2 Cor. 5:14-21. So the rapture is out, it seems. That leaves the tribulation saints. And that is focused on the Nation of Israel. So they miss out there, too.

But they are "suffering" "suffering" at the hands of all who just don't understand that THEY are God's Chosen People. They have been "infallibly" informed...

And those who miss the Rapture, (and there'll be gazillions of them) will not be afforded an opportunity to follow God...

A wise Holy Spirit inspired post smvoice. The lie of replacement theology is being exposed.

Great points alright.

Folks who reject that Israelites are God’s Chosen and Christians are GRAFTED-IN

to that seed, bloodline, heritage, cohort . . .

are missing huge chunks of Biblical TRUTH.

“That leaves the tribulation saints. And that is focused on the Nation of Israel. So they miss out there, too.”

Rvelation says a multitude from every tribe and nation will be killed for refusing to take the mark...so it isn’t just Israel.
