1 | The fruit and leaves of the tree of life | Gen 2:9 | stjohn | 184565 | ||
Good grief!! Lets Keep it simple shale we. The word of God is not that complicated. when Jesus rejected Israel It was temporary. He then began to focus on building His Church. Which He is still doing today by the way. When He takes His Church Out of the world, via the rapture, He will then refocus on Israel during the Great Tribulation Represented by the 144,000 that are sealed to go through it. At that time He will set up His 1,000 year rain and after that comes eternity with God and all His children. Very simple really, and it does not take a so called scholar to drag what "he" thinks is the truth out of what God is saying. If you don't understand it, that is, why God is doing it that way, I don't know, It's His plan, He said it, not me. If you have a problem take it to God. God bless all. Peace stj |

Hi stj The one problem I have with your outline is that you are not doing what Jesus did, focus on His church and what He is doing today. Most of what you have described focuses on what you think will happen after the rapture, all of which will not affect us, and is based on one or two very doubtfully interpreted Scriptures (Daniel 9; Revelation 20). Your idea of the Great Tribulation is not mentioned in the Bible (you read your interpretation into it), who the 144,000 are is very much disputed (James calls the whole church the twelve tribes of Israel - James 1.1), and no reign of Christ ON earth is mentioned even in Revelation 20. So your summary is very lopsided. The whole of the Old and New Testament is summarily dealt with, and you concentrate on one or two controversial ideas. By all means hold on to them if they help you but do also recognise that neither Jesus, not Paul and Peter, saw them as important enough to mention. Perhaps you might do well to follow their example rather than that of Dr Scofield. Best wishes Jonp | ||||||
