One of the things I believe is that too many Protestants as well as the Catholics think that the church has basically replaced Israel and that Israel is no longer a nation that God will deal with separately again. Without the understanding that there are still seven years of the 490 years promised them and those seven years will be the seven year tribulation they cant understand.
That HAS to be it. There can simply be no other reason the wailing and gnashing begin at the SAME point on God’s timeline. It’s a shame too. There is so much to be learned about the Church the BOdy of Christ, and OUR time here on earth. But, what can you do, except continue to give the Scriptures for the Body. And pray.
I clearly understand dispensations. Especially when there is clear scriptural evidence of a change in program. Israel was put aside but will be dealt with again. They were put aside right here in Matthew 23:
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 See! Your house is left to you desolate; 39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!
That right there in red letters from Jesus Christ tells us at that point, Israel was set aside. Set aside until "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!" Not Acts 15 or sooner or later anywhere in Acts. Right there in Matthew's Gospel.
