Subject: Church grafted into Israel? |
Bible Note: Searcher, I thought it said His Spirit would be poured out on all mankind. Does this not refer to the ingrafting of the Gentiles into the family of God and yet also point to the regrafting in of Israel before the Second Coming? Can not scripture be understood on more than one level? It seems to me that many prophetic passages have seen fulfillment in a literal sense in the time they were written, then in the New Testament and also again yet in the future. Why would the Apotle be quoting this passage if it was not being fulfilled as he spoke of it. yet we can see that there is to be also a future fulfillment at the end of our age, just as Acts ushered out the old age and ushered in this age. Of course I may be missing something, since I am rather weak on dispensational theology. Emmaus |
