Bible Question: Why did the Nation of Israel perish? |
Bible Answer: In the sense that Jews can no longer trace their family lineage to Abraham and God no longer accepts their sacrifices, the Jewish nation no longer exists. This was all predicted by Jesus in Matt 24 and fulfilled on or about 70AD. This destruction is described in great detail at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_of_Jerusalem#Destruction_of_Jerusalem Yes, true enough in 1947 after the ending of WWII, the world Governments convened and decided to re-establish the nation of Israel. But it's not quite the same as cited above, as they no longer have that very special relationship with God as provided during the Law of Moses in the OT. Heb 10:1 For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins. 16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” 17 then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” 18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin. But also please understand the Blessings from God to Abraham did include the world's Greatest Blessing and that was the Life Saving Sacrifice from God's Own Son. This too was part of God's Promise He made to Abraham and renewed to Isaac and Jacob. I'm convinced all of this was in the Mind of God from the beginning in Genesis 3. Go with God in all things, Bill |
