Subject: Israeli State is Israel in Name Only |
Bible Note: Hi Doc, With reference to Israel; do we always know exactly what’s going on within the plan of God and is everything cut and dried from our perspective? Your previous post kind of reminded me of the “Elijah syndrome”, where he thought he was up on all the current events. Elijah speaking, 1 Kings 19:14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. Not much left of true Israel from the way Elijah saw it. What seemed like a broad view of the situation from Elijah’s viewpoint turned out to be Elijah virtually looking through a keyhole into a mirror! The Lord saw the overall picture, as it truly was, and decided to show Elijah the overall puzzle picture? 1 Kings 19:18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him. As for Israel, we don’t know all that the Lord is doing at the present time, but I would venture a guess that God’s clock is ticking right on time. Someone once quipped, “I’m not sure what the future holds but I know who holds the future.” As for your ending, "We are to spread the gospel message of Jesus Christ to Jew and Gentile alike!" Alike, OK, but in a certain order. Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. These are like the before and after, salvation, verses. Galatians 3:28-29 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. [29] And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Isn’t it fun having all of the pieces of the puzzle and trying to figure out just how they all fit to form the perfect picture? CDBJ |
