Bible Note: Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Revelation 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Romans 9:6-9 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. Romans 11:2-5 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. The promise of the salvation of Israel is indeed referring to Israel but only that true Israel who are of faith. God has taken out a people for His name. That does include the gentiles that blieve. The gentile becomes a Jew when he has faith and the jew becomes not a Jew when he does not have faith. God will bring out a people from the Land of Israel but they will not be a seperate people or a new church. There is one church and when God saves a Jew or a gentil they are part of that one church. God is not going to take the church and then deal with the Jew seperately . This is not scriptural but a made up eschatoligical dispenstational view that does not fit at all. God is going to save Israel the same way he saved Israelis in the book of Acts. I personally believe that we all become a part of Israel when we are born again. I believe we are grafted in as paul said. The grafted in part is not less than the tree part. We are one. You cannot really tell a branck that is grafted in. It truely becomes part of the tree. God showed his displeasure in the idea of Jews seperating their fellowship into thier own group seperate from Gentiles by Peters vision and by Paul rebuking Peter when he again thought this way. God is not going to go back to some kind of Jewish elitism in salvation in the end times. This is actually an affront to the Gospel and all that the apostles preached. We are to see God's vision to save jews and by all means preach to them to believe on Jesus. However God is never going back to Judaism not know and not in the Tribulation. The Jews may attempt it, but God will not save any that do it. God will only save those that turn to Jesus as the Christ. Those in Israel that do that recieve the revelation that God is saving all men. DO you really think that in the Tribulation there will be Jews that know Christ and the Love of the Father who will look at the masses around them and say. I wish I could tell you the gospel but it is too late. That will only happen after men die. Only then is it too late. Until then there will never be a saint that is not compelled by the love of Christ to save souls of every race. The 144000 are symbolic. I can proove this if you have hears to hear. I will proove it on my next post. |
