Nr. 728:
Israel
is rejecting God, or are they the next "big" people with an upcoming
"big rich" who will be from the Nile to the Euphrates as the word of God
says?
Even Satan knows that Israel is the next great empire. Here is what the Iranian government fears, and note the hose surrounding the forthcoming Empire.
Her
e we map from the Nile to the Euphrates who will be the next geographic area.
The
flag tells the Israelitiske by the two stripes that they are people of
the land between the two great rivers, the Nile and the Euphrates.
What is replacement theology?
In short, it is that Israel is cut off from the promises that have been given to the church. Israel's
role is played out, but even Satan does not believe this crap when he
tries to thwart Israel at all angles and sides, although he knows
better!
When will all twelve tribes - all Israel will be united again?
It will take place at the beginning of the 1000 year kingdom scripture says.
Matt. 24 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon will not give its light. The stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 30
Then shall the sign of the Son in heaven, then shall all the nations of
the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming on the clouds
of heaven with power and great glory. 31
When the trumpet sounds, he shall send his angels, and they shall
gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to
the other.
How much will Israel be under 1,000 years of empire?
1 Genesis 15 17 The sun went down and it was dark. And behold, a smoking furnace came into view, and a flaming torch between those pieces. 18
That day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your
descendants I give this land, from the Egyptian river (Nile) until the
great river, the Euphrates, 19 the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites,
Kadmonites, 20 Hittites, Perizzites and the Rephaim, 21 the Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites. "
Picture illustrating how big the forthcoming Israel will be.
Final Comment:
It is the basis which promises and thoughts that GOD HAS ABOUT ISRAEL THAT MAKES THEM BÅPDE VULNERABLE AND UNIQUE! At the same without this balance test to understand Israel both past and future. Want an ever understand Israel in the present.
Article from our website about Israel in the past:
ISRAEL'S HISTORY
Israel's history is the history of a people that God chose that this people should carry forward the Redeemer of the world. It was Israel's great mission in the world. For this to become a reality, God had a man who was supposed to be the ancestor of the people. They had to have a country where they could live and develop. They had to have one God, one faith, one law. They may have a political system that bound the people together, and a lot of other things.
4000 before Christ:
Your history begins in the Garden of Eden
In the Garden of Eden Council innocence until the fall became a reality. The Fall was a disaster for mankind and all the evil in the world stems from this. But at the same time arose immediately a need for forgiveness and redemption. The same day as the fall happened, God came with a promise of a Redeemer. He said: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. It shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 1M 3:15
It is said that the woman should bring forth a seed (singular) that will crush the devil's power. Who is this woman? Is the Virgin Mary? Many think so. I think not. The woman can not be any other than Israel who brought forth Jesus in the fullness of time.
Jesus said it clearly:
Ye worship ye know not. We t
Ilbert what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. John 4:22
The same is found in Revelation. 12: where it speaks of the woman clothed with the sun:
A
great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the
moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant and cried out in labor and travail. She gave birth to a son, a male child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her child was caught up to God and to his throne.
Revelation 12:1-2, 5
So here we see that already in the Garden of Eden and on the same day as the Fall, God had a plan ready for our salvation. He
also had the idea of Israel in the nation Jesus would be born (being a
Jew) and growing up in a special family chosen by God. The
incarnation was also implied in this verse just by being human could
the Lord Jesus take up the fight with the devil and defeat him for us.
2000 before Christ:
Abraham's selection
Abraham is the seventh from Noah and listen to Shem. Noah had the three sons, Shem Ham and Japheth. The blessing was in a particular manner laid on Sem. Noah prophesied:
He also said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem, Canaan shall be his servant!
God shall enlarge Japheth, he shall dwell in the tents of Shem, and Canaan shall be his servant!
1M 9:26-27
It is said that the Lord God of Shem, and He shall dwell in the tents of Shem. It's not that Japheth did promise to stay in the tents of Shem. For Japheth was Samf to Europeans and went far away from Semite land of Canaan and the Middle East.
Abraham and his family came gradually to Ur of the Chaldees where they were idolaters and thus came from the faith in Jehovah.
And
Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the Lord God: Your fathers,
including Terah, Abraham and Nahor father, lived in ancient times on
the other side of the river. They worshiped other gods. Jos 24:2
But God had promised blessing of Shem and came to reveal Himself to Abram. About this says Stephen: And Stephen said, Brethren and fathers, listen to me! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran.
And he said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and go to the land I will show you!
Then he went out from the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. And after his father was dead, God sent him to this country that you now live in. Acts 7:2-4
This revelation led to Abraham was a believer and moved out of Ur and went to the land that God would show him. So begins the story of Abraham his though was the father of the Jewish people.
The main lines are drawn up
In 1st Gen. 12:1-3 we find some of the most important prophecies of the Bible. It is God who gives Abraham promises while these promises are future prophecies yet to be fully executed.
And
the Lord said to Abram, Go from your country and from your relatives
and from your father's house to the land that I will show you!
I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth be blessed.
1M 12:1
-
Here we see that the given personal promises to Abraham. God will bless him and make his name great, and he shall be a blessing.
It is given specific promises about the people (Israel) that it will become a great nation. It should be such that some will bless it and others will curse it.
The given promises a blessing to get to all of the peoples and families. This promise applies to the seed that was to come. Jesus Christ.
1730 before Christ:
Israel in Egypt.
We know how Abraham and Isaac and Jacob had his home in the land of Canaan and lived there as strangers and foreigners. They owned no private land or area that they could call their own.
Yet God said that this country, as far as the eye could see, was to
become their country. But first Israel had to grow large and become hardy so they could win the war by themselves their own country.
Hence came a famine throughout the Middle East also of Canaan. And Jacob sent his sons to Egypt to buy grain. But before that, we have the story of Joseph. He is a picture of Jesus in the same way that Joseph was rejected by his own people and the suffering of death. But Joseph was de facto sent to Egypt to keep the family alive. He was the savior, not only for Egypt and other nations but also for his own house.
And Joseph said to his brothers: Honey, come here to me! And they came to him. He said: I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
But now do not be worried or anxious because you sold me here! It was to save lives that God sent me here ahead of you.
1M 45:4
-
Then came Jacob and his whole family to Egypt 75 souls and where they lived in Goshen. Later came other rulers of the country and bondage time began. In 400 years they were slaves and built up large
Now was the time for the fulfillment of prophecy concerning the Messiah's first coming. Herod the Great on the throne and Judea was under the Romans. The cost and seething in all corners and the Roman occupation made Jerusalem a "hot spot" on earth.
Jesus began his public ministry and the great and glorious deeds took place. In the year 32 AD Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again on the third day. He ascended into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. The Jewish people rejected Jesus as the Messiah and this attitude has persisted to this day. But some Jews accepted Jesus as the Messiah and the first church in Jerusalem spoke many thousands of time after Pentecost.
But
when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman,
born under the law, that he might redeem those under law, that we might
receive adoption as sons.
Gal 4:4
-
Destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70
Jesus had wept over the city. He told of a time when Jerusalem would be besieged by enemies and walls should be broken down and the temple likewise. The Jews were to fall edge of the sword and led captive to many peoples. All this was literally fulfilled in AD 70 when Titus with his army besieged the city and captured it. The temple was burned and over 200,000 Jews were killed. The rest were taken captive and sold as hit many nations.
When
he came near and saw the city, he wept over it, saying: Did you also,
at least in this thy day, the things that make for your peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes.
For days will come upon you when your enemies will trench around you, and they shall besiege you and need you from all sides. And they shall beat you to the ground, and thy children within thee. They will not leave a stone be left upon a stone, because you did not know your visitation.
Luke 7:41 p.m.

The gospel goes to the Gentiles
It was clear that Jews were primarily hear the gospel and receive salvation deals. When they received not the gospel went to the Gentiles. Paul was called the apostle of the Gentiles, and he founded many churches among peoples of the then civilized world. He
says: It is not enough for you to be my servant to restore the tribes
of Jacob and restore the preserved ones of Israel back. So I will make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.
Isaiah 49:6
But the Lord said unto him, Go! For a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel.
For I will show him how much he must suffer for my name's sake.
Acts 9:15
-
Now came the 2,000 years of exile where Israel was among the nations. But there were many promises in God's word that both Judah and Israel would take back to their own countries in the Middle
-
East. In
end of time this would happen. We
have witnessed that Israel has again received their own country and
this alerts us that the time for their salvation and the world's
redemption is drawing near.
Israel at present:
Israel - God's eye!
By Jan Kaare Christensen
Smyrna Oslo
Romans 11:1-36.
11 I ask then: Did God reject his people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham and Benjamin. 2 God has not rejected his people, the people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, as he stands before God accusing Israel? 3 Lord, thy prophets, they have killed, and your altars they have torn down. I'm the only one left, and now they seek my life. 4 But what is God's reply to him? I have kept seven thousand men left who have not bowed the knee to Baal. 5 Similarly, it is also in our time become a remnant that God has chosen by grace. 6 And if by grace, it is not by works. Otherwise the grace be no mercy. 7 What then? The Israel striving, they have not achieved, but the election hath obtained it. The others were hardened, 8 as it is written:
God has given them a jaded spirit,
eyes that see and ears that do not hear,
to this day.
9 And David says:
Let their table become a snare and trap,
as they stumble and get their punishment.
10 Let there be dark before them,
so they can not see,
and let their backs be bent forever.
11 So I ask: Stumbled the order that they should fall? Certainly not! No, because they fell came salvation to the nations, and then the Jews would be jealous of them. 12
When their case has brought wealth to the world and the loss of them
have been to the wealth of the nations, how much more will it not mean
that they come with the full numbers?
13 I say this to you who are Gentiles. As long as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I set my service high; 14 I do so with the hope that I can do my countrymen envy and save some of them. 15 Is there been reconciliation to the world that they were rejected, what must it do not mean that they are accepted? The life of the dead! 16 Is the first bread holy, the lump is holy. If the root is holy, the branches. 17
Some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive
tree, have been grafted in among the branches and partakers of the sap
from the root. 18 But notions you that you are better than the branches. If you do, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you! 19
You may say, "Branches were broken off that I might be grafted." 20 All
right, but they were broken off because of unbelief, and you are
standing by faith. Do not be proud, but fear God! 21 Sparte he not the natural branches, He will not save you. 22 So you see the words that God is both good and strict. String is he against them which fell, but to you he is good, if you hold onto his goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. 23 But the others will be grafted in, if they do not hold on to their disbelief. God has the power to graft them in again. 24 You were cut loose from a wild olive tree, and against the order of nature grafted into the good tree. How much more will the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree, those who by nature belong there? 25
Brethren, I will tell you a secret, so you should not have too high
thoughts of their own sense: Part of Israel were blinded until the
nations are come into full numbers. 26 In this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written:
From Zion shall savior come,
he shall take away all ungodliness from Jacob:
27 and this is the covenant I will make with them
when I take away their sins.
28 Because of the gospel, they become enemies of God, that ye may obtain salvation. However, because of the selection are the beloved of God - for the sake of the fathers. 29 For God did not regret their gifts and election. 30 You were once disobedient to God but now you have received mercy, because they were disobedient. 31 Similarly, they have now been disobedient, but the kindness you received, will cause that they now receive mercy. 32 God put all the disobedience to have mercy on all.
33 Oh, the depth of the riches
and wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and how unfathomable His ways!
34 Who knew the Lord's mind,
or who was his counselor?
35 Who gave him something first,
so he should get compensation?
36 From him and through him and to him are all things.
Him be the glory forever! Amen.
Romans 11:1-36
If we understand the conflict down in the Middle East and especially in Israel. So we must know the story of God's word takeover. While aware of the delicious and great promises that God has given to Israel as a nation. When
one has insight into this then will understand that this conflict is
basically not a conflict between Jews and Arbabere, but between God and
Satan. This sounds very like and of course a simplification. Yes, there is. But there's no denying that this conflict is more of a physical spiritual character.
When
we consider the small country of Israel and how much that Arabs and
Muslims have of the country, so is it towards 1000 times larger
countries when we include the areas that the Palestinians are occupied
by Israel in the West Bank and Gaza. With that in southern Israel has Arabs of Egypt occupied the Sinai peninsula. At
the Dead Sea and east of the Jordan Arabs occupied parts of the land
that Israel will have in the 1000 year kingdom and God has given them. Northbound
has Lebanon and Syria occupied areas that God has given to Israel when
Israel will be one nation under Christ from the Nile to the Euphrates
south to the north.
Now
we are really in why Israel has been his country again and why they are
vulnerable to such pressures from without the outside world. It's their promises given to them by God. God does not regret the gifts, calling and election. Israel
was chosen as 4,000 years ago when Abraham received a call from God and
King David captured Jerusalem 3,000 years ago and since then it has
been and will forever to be Israel's eternal capital that they should
never share with someone else when it is where Jesus Christ will sit on the throne and reign over the world for 1000 years.
2 In the last days it shall be
that the temple of rock will be
established high above all the mountains
and lift up over the hills.
Whither shall all nations flow.
3 Many people go off and says:
"Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah,
the God of Jacob,
and he will teach us of his ways,
and we may walk in his paths! "
For the law of the Lord shall go forth from Zion,
Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 He shall judge between the nations,
judge for many people.
They shall beat their swords into plowshares
and spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not lift up sword against nation,
and no longer learn war.
Isaiah 2:2-4
That Israel's future and history peoples, that is what is the main reason for the conflict down in the Middle East. Why is Israel "shut up" anyway? It's in the room. 11 28b. However, because of the selection are the beloved of God - for the sake of the fathers. 29 For God did not regret their gifts and election.
How long is the promise of fast and Israel? Scripture answers:
35 Thus saith the Lord,
who gives the sun for light by day
and arranged it so
the moon and the stars for light by night,
who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar-
- The Lord of hosts is his name:
36 I allow these schemes give way,
declares the Lord,
should also Israel forever
cease to be my people.
37 Thus says the Lord:
If heaven above can be measured
and the foundations of the earth below can be explored,
I will also reject
whole house of Israel
because of all they have done, saith the Lord.
Jeremiah 31:35-37
The word of God will never depart from Israel, before the heaven and earth pass away. Then God's promise to Israel no longer be around, because everything is fulfilled in Christ to the fullest.
I think it is right to say that all the seven Jewish feasts, described in 3.Mos 23, has a prophetic perspective! They constitute a prophetic object lesson for the major events ranging from the death of the Millennium and the coming glory. The festivals can be divided into two sections. The first 4 consecutive spring. These are Passover, Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Pentecost and. All
these are prophetically fulfilled in the past in and through Christ's
death, resurrection, and the Spirit's coming at Pentecost. The
three last three festivals that are celebrated in the fall (about 4
months after Pentecost), with the upcoming events to do and will get his
prophetic fulfillment as of Rapture. These are Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles.
Sukkot (Hebrew: Sukkot), which also described in 3.Mos 23:39-43 and Nehemiah 8:14-15, is also celebrated in Israel today. The
last of Israel's feasts are celebrated as in the Old Testament, by
building booths that are decorated with fruits and flowers. Sukkot
commemorates the desert wandering after the deliverance from Egypt, and
was in biblical times one of the three pilgrimage festivals (next
Easter and Pentecost). Even today, many Jews go to Jerusalem to celebrate the day, especially at the Western Wall.
Tabernacles,
which is the time for joy and celebration after you have finished the
harvest, pointing toward the Messianic 1000 årsriket. During
the State of the starvation time will be over time, both in Israel and
in the world at large, through the fulfillment of the words of In
2:21-22: It shall happen in that day that I will hear, saith the Lord. I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth. The earth shall hear the corn, and wine, and oil, and they shall hear Jezreel. Only then shall lament, which has resounded through Israel's Passion, to be replaced by praise and singing. Isaiah 35:10 says of this time: the Lord redeemed shall return and come to Zion with joy cometh. Eternal joy it over their head. Joy and gladness shall they now, and sorrow and sighing shall flee. In those days Israel's position in the world radically changed in accordance with Deuteronomy 5:
The LORD will make you the head and not the tail. You
should always be upstairs and never be below, if you listen to the Lord
your God, which I command thee this day to care for and maintain.
5.Mos 28:13
And in Zechariah we read:
In
those days it shall come to pass that ten men of all languages of the
nations, shall take hold of the skirt of a Jewish man, saying, We will
go with you, for we have heard that God is with you!
Case 8:23
We
note in particular Case 2:16 p.m., where the connection is about the
coming of Jesus to the Mount of Olives to establish David's fallen tent
(cf. Amos 9:11 and Acts 3:16 p.m.), that all that is left of all the
nations that attack Jerusalem must every year go up to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to join in the Feast of Tabernacles. Only
then will the promise of the land of Israel vows have their final
fulfillment, including the strategically important Jewish areas of Judea
and Samaria (the so-called West Bank). All human efforts to create peace in the Middle East will at best be short term. Some true and abiding peace will not until the Prince of Peace comes to set all things straight condition.
Only
then will there also be a general relationship between Jews and Arabs,
between the seed of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob (author of the Jews)
and the seed of Abraham through Ishmael and Esau (author of the Arabs).
The wondrous words of Isaiah 19:23-25 should get its final fulfillment:
In that day shall there be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will come into Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. And the Egyptians shall serve the Lord together with the Assyrians. In
that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a
blessing in the middle of the earth, because the Lord of hosts has
blessed, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria my handiwork,
and Israel my inheritance!
Isaiah 19:23-25
That
said, I think it is fair to say that even the 1000 årsriket will be as a
prelude to the day that God will create a new heaven and a new earth. Only
then shall all evil and curse all be gone, and people of faith, the
Lord's redeemed, will forever be enjoying the fellowship of the Lamb!
Israel is the country that lies between the two rivers. It is the Nile and the Euphrates. David star taller Jesus who has come out of King David's loins or semen. Israel is the country that lies between the two rivers. It is the Nile and the Euphrates. David star taller Jesus who has come out of King David's loins or semen. What are the promises and future for Israel!
But
to say something about the mystery of choosing in an easily
understandable way, leave us with the following thought experiment. Picture
this: Before God at all had created universnummert, he had a game plan
of salvation history and especially the earth's history. God's election is namely salvation history very specifically. When God had created universnummert and Earth with, he looked at his creation and found that it was good. Then he decided to do what he had decided, namely to create people who he could love and be loved and praised back from. God
looked over all their solar systems and galaxies and myriads of planets
and chose out a little dust in universnummert called Tellus, that our
earth. On this planet, God wanted to reveal himself. Precisely here, he would demonstrate his good will. But God had to select a bridgehead for our earth. When he decided on a specified geographical area on this planet, namely what we now call Israel. This land was to be God's catchment area for his revelation among the people he had created on earth.
So God chooses a certain person, Abram from Ur of the Chaldeans, for through him to begin their selection process on earth. Abram, later named Abraham by God, grew up in heathen darkness. He
was of choosing the order to pull out of Ur to go to the land God had
chosen the land of Canaan, see 1.Mos 12 While God chooses Abraham, he
gives seven strong, clear and unconditional promises:
on the selection of a people, the Jewish people.
on land or residence of this people at a particular place on earth.
that this nation shall be a blessing on the earth.
about the curse / blessing for the people and people who curse / bless this Jewish people.
"You only have I known when, actually appoint, among all the nations of the earth." (Jer. 1:5)
Read also 5.Mos 14:2 and 14:2 4.Mos. Why choose Israel? Read 5.Mos 7:6-8.
God
vindicates his sovereign choice and as circles and spikes into His
chosen revelation place in a specific geographic area of the Earth. Amidst
the chosen land of Israel, mentioned as a corner in the contemporary
world, God chose the lowly little town of Bethlehem, the beachhead for
its salvation from heaven. "But
you Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are little to be among the thousands of
Judah ..." Earlier he had chosen Jerusalem to the capital, where his
revelation on earth, namely temple tabernacle, 2 Kings 21:7, where later
salvation history most important events to take place, namely Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.
God as another way to select than we humans think is fair. Abraham is mentioned, Jacob over Esau selected; Paul discusses this "unjust" election in Romans 9:11-16. Joseph
was the second youngest of Jacob, King David in his time the youngest
of Jesse's sons, Ruth was the hedningerot and came into Jesus' pedigree,
Salmon gets the father of Boaz by Rahab the harlot and we see here that
David and Bathsheba's son Solomon was in Jesus' family.
God's Word tells us that the special selection involves special responsibility and punishment for adultery and failure. Israel, God in His wisdom foreseen the fall and made a plan of salvation from the beginning. Just God's election of the Jewish people does he punish Israel more powerful than any other people on earth (Amos 3:2).
Because he chose out a particular people for their salvation, Jesus could say: "Salvation is of the Jews." And out of this people doth choose, he man, namely his own Son, Jesus Christ. "And there came a voice from heaven, This is my beloved Son. Hear him, "It was he who came first and foremost to take care of the lost people of Israel whom he had chosen. We have clear evidence in Matthew 15:21-24. Jesus still made an exception because of the non-Jewish woman humility.
As
the Son of God with a specific mission Jesus chooses twelve apostles of
Israel's people completely outside Israel's religious elite. Despite
the draw after Judas apostasy apostle, God chose Paul to his special
apostle to the Gentiles (Acta 9:15) that the selection should also be
extended to them (Col. 3:12 and 1 Thessalonians 1:4). If we read ia Rooms
11:11, it appears that Israel had to be partially and temporarily
blinded that the Gentiles might be partakers of God's election.
About
this election, Paul says, "Brethren, notice of the calling you
received: Not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many
noble. But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen to do the show to shame. And the weak things of the world hath God chosen to make it strong to shame. It
is low in the world and the despised, hath God chosen, and things which
are not, to bring to naught things that are somewhat - That no flesh
should glory in his presence. "So we see here that the principle of
choosing and the basis is the same for Israel to us by hedningerot, namely God's free choice, by the grace and mercy alone.
So
it is through God's election and action with the Jewish people and
Israel, that I personally understand something of God's infinite mercy. In spite of apostasy, sin and defiance of God, he forgave his peculiar people Israel again and again and never gave them up. 2000
years after the events in Bethlehem, the God of our generation that he
still stand by his promises to these people and want them to do, and
deal with them as he said through his chosen prophets.
For
very many, however, even among Christians, today Israel and the Jewish
people are not anything special above all other lands and peoples. Do we believe the Bible selecting terms, we see that Israel still occupies a special place in the present and future history. And
then it becomes a lie and say that Israel is rejected because they
rejected Jesus as the Messiah, and that the church has taken Israel's
place and promises. This kind of theology, called replacement theology, we must reject. Paul rejects this thought clearly in ia Rooms 11:1 and 17-24. By
Room 11:25-32 and 2 Corinthians 3:15-16 stated it very clear that
Israel's God still stand by its election of the Jewish people. The Bible describes my judgment the Jewish people as the future of the people that God will use in a special way, see eg. Case 8:13-23.
Israel in the future
1000 year kingdom!
We have the kingdom of God that we call the kingdom to Israel or the 1000 year kingdom. When Jesus returns, this kingdom established. It was about to be established at Christ's first coming, but when the Jews would not accept the king of this realm, was the offer of the withdrawal. That's when the call went out to the Gentiles because the Jews rejected their Messiah.
This kingdom will be Jerusalem and Israel as its starting point, but it would stretch around the world. There will not be a kingdom which completely manages to get subjugated the whole world. At the end of this kingdom will it be a worldwide revolt against kingdom. This time period will end with the judgment.
When Jesus returns he will purge out everything that does not belong to his kingdom. "The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity (do not hold Jesus Torah) ... Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let him hear. "(Mat.13, 41 and 43)
The Jews will be priests and kings in this kingdom, Jesus will be king, and the 12 apostles will sit in the temple in Jerusalem and rule over the 12 tribes of Israel. (Mat.19, 28) The Christian church should have overall responsibilities in national time. Jesus should be the head of the Christian church. Jesus will rule out both from the sky and on the basis Jerusalem.
The kingdom of Israel is an important phase of salvation history of God's kingdom. It is the kingdom that all biblical prophecy concerns. It is a concrete and historically rich. There shall be established in Israel with Jerusalem as its capital. Messiah will reign in this kingdom. There shall be governed with justice and fairness. It should extend beyond the earth. It will consist of 1,000 years.
After that come the next time periods with their own theological content. They know we are not so much to. "that he in the coming ages can show their exceeding riches of grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." (Eph.2, 7)
When Jesus came the first time, he ia with the mandate to establish the kingdom of Israel in Israel. There is a particular period where both Messiah and new spiritual principles to be implemented-the first in Israel and later in the world. What will characterize this period include following:
1) The Messiah will be king.
2) The believing Jews and Gentiles will rule with Christ.
3) The people should have to submit to Christ and his rule.
4) There shall be a fair rule. "But he shall judge the call for justice, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth and slay the wicked with the breath of His lips." (Es.11, 4)
5) There shall be a time of peace throughout the world.
EW Bullinger described the kingdom to Israel as follows:
1) It is Christ as their king.
2) It is from heaven and the heaven on earth.
3) It is limited in its function.
4) It is political in their area.
5) There are Jewish and exclusive in character.
6) It is national in its aspect.
7) It is the special subject of G.T.s prophecy.
8) There are domestic commercial in character. (See Companion Bible.s.155 in the Appendix.)
This board and this kingdom was well known through the prophets many statements about this. "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established (established) on top of the mountains (kingdoms) and exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say: Come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and we may walk in his paths. for out of Zion shall go forth the law (Torah) output, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. he shall judge between the nations and reprove many peoples, and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. "(Es.2 0.1 to 4.)
"Listen to me, my people. Give ear to me, my church. For Torah (God's teaching) shall proceed from me, and my justice will become a light to the nations. My righteousness is near. My salvation forward, and mine arms shall judge the peoples right. in me the islands (continents) wait, and on mine arm shall they bee. "(Es.51 0.4 to 5.)
The kingdom of Israel has both a heavenly and an earthly point. It controlled both from the sky and from Jerusalem. Therefore it is also called the "kingdom of heaven". The principles on which it is based, is of heavenly nature. "Exalted is the Lord, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness." (Es.33, 5)
Moses Maimonides (Rambam), one of the major Jewish rabbis, completed his great work: Mishneh Torah with a description of the Messiah and the Messianic kingdom as follows: "whoever does not believe in him (Christ) or not eagerly awaiting his coming, denies not only the prophetic scriptures but also scriptures in the Torah and Moses writings-he is our teacher. "
At Jesus' first coming was this kingdom could have been established if the Jews had accepted the king of this realm, which is Jesus of Nazareth. The Jews were offered the establishment of the kingdom as ACCESS, OPPORTUNITY and CHALLENGE. Jesus could only offer them the kingdom. He could not force it on them.
The time had also come for the kingdom could have been established. According to Daniel's prophecy of the 70 åruker (Dan.9 0.24 to 27.) It should go 483 years from the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah would come forward .. It is the same as the 69 weeks of years (69 times 7 is 483 years.). When we put the beginning of this decree to the year 445 before Christ, we come to 32 after Christ.
(There are several ideas what is the correct year of the death of Jesus. Both years 30, 31, 32 and 33 have been cited as the correct year.
We shall hereafter mention any relation to suggesting that 32 years is the correct year. We know from the NT, there was darkness over all the land from the sixth and the ninth hour (Mat.27, 45), and despite the fact that it was FULL MOON in Israel at this time. There had therefore been something quite extraordinary.
Historian Thallus wrote in the year 52 after Christ that darkness covered the earth at Easter in the year 32 Another historian, Phlegeon, wrote that this darkness lasted three hours, from the sixth and the ninth hour.
This is strong evidence that Jesus died in the year 32 after Christ.
Both John the Baptist and Jesus said that this kingdom was near at the time of Jesus "In those days came John the Baptist in the wilderness of Judea (countryside) and said: Repent, for the kingdom of God is near." (Mat.3 0.1 to 2.)
"From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." (Mat.4, 17)
Jesus presented the doctrinal content of the kingdom Sermon on the Mount and in his speeches. When he spoke right out without parables was the kingdom to Israel he was talking about. When he spoke in parables was the State of the secrets he expounded. These are among others out that the establishment of the kingdom had been postponed because the Jews would not accept Jesus and his teaching. It was as close as an offer was withdrawn.
The prophets had difficulty reconciling suffering side and glory since the Messiah. They did not know and could not know that the Jews would not receive the Messiah and the kingdom, when King first arrived. "About this salvation (salvation in the Messianic congregation time) there were prophets inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that you (Jews) would get, as they ransacked what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them, showed when he testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories then. "(1.Pet.1 0.10 to 11.)
They did not know that there would come a time of approx. 2000 years in which the kingdom would be exposed and the Jews would be put aside as the main carriers of God's plans in the world. This time we call the Christian church period.
The prophet Daniel was certainly a view that the kingdom would be established in connection with the 10 kings of the end times, but he could not know that it would take 2,000 years from the time when the Messiah came the first time and this could be realized. "And in the days of those kings (the ten kings), the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall not be destroyed in ages, and the kingdom shall not be left to other people (than Jews). Shall crush and destroy the other kingdoms but it shall stand firm in the Age. "(Dan.2, 44)
(A great deal is here taken from the web, but I stand by it).
The church's task during the 1000 year kingdom
This must be the most interesting? Read about it in the related link, where I put it out completely by the end of this article!
But briefly, then the church will be divided into three (3).
1) Those who do not measure up, will perish together with unbelievers.
2) The vast majority will not be directing, but will be part of the Kingdom of priests who are under the Lord's command.
3) A section will be to manage and come back first with Jesus on horses to defeat the Antichrist and his conspirators at Harmageddonslaget then rule over a city, two, five or ten cities. Do you plan to be in managing cities, prepare the spirit of it, and think of what city you will be in control. Scripture encourages us to prepare ourselves for the age to come and make us fit for mission and ministry.
When we read God's words carefully, especially Matthew Gospel we see that there is always consequences even for a believer. It is not once saved always saved. There are many who are considered to be part of the church but is not. And there are those who are part of the church, but that will not get full pay. And there are those that no one expects, will receive a full reward. It is only God who knows the heart!
Matt. 22 11 And when the king came in to look at them at the table, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment. 12 And he said unto him, My Friend! how did you get in here not having a wedding on! But he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him into outer darkness! There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called but few are chosen.
This had progressed so far that he came inside but lacked the wedding garment, the pure fine suit, which is the righteousness of saints. If one is re-married as believers, or have married a divorced, lives as gay or lespisk but considers himself a believer, all these sins exclude the one to share in sluttfrelsen although one has even knew Jesus. One can not be a Christian living a double life, one must repent if one will be saved from sin. It does not help confessing sin without repenting concrete from the sinful act, for example. one is married to a divorced, it is only when you leave the divorced party and live either as single or be reconciled to her first spouse that shows the conversion in accordance with the Scriptures. It is he who endures to the end will be saved, Jesus said himself on several occasions. All kinds of sin holds us without passing sluttfrelsen although one is accepted in and out of the church. It is God and only he will decide everything in the end if we share sluttfrelsen.
1 Cor. 6 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived! Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate or those who sin against nature, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit God's kingdom. 11 And such were some of you; but ye ye are washed, ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of Jesus and in the Spirit of our God.
At the beginning of the 1000 year kingdom will Jesus after his victory at Armageddon judgment upon the nations how they have acted against God's own people the Jews and because they have divided the country. At the conclusion of the 1000 year kingdom there will be a short final settlement and a final revolt of Satan which will then be released after 1,000 years in prison. This settlement will be shut down immediately, but we see that man in himself is incorrigible and quickly seduced unless Christ comes with His Spirit.
1000 year kingdom is the court of heaven, and Jesus said we should pray that His kingdom would come. It is by His 1000 year reign, but it is only when God creates a new heaven and a new earth that this is going to happen 100%, even 1,000 years of empire it is wonderful and delightful, it has its limitations and will terminate with judgment.
Jeremiah 23 3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them back to their pasture, and they shall be fruitful and multiply.
This is the beginning of the 1000 year kingdom, and the Lord will gather all 12 tribes of Israel to Israel, what day and what future?
During the 1000 year kingdom will we keep the Sabbath, celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles and sacrifice in the temple not to sin will be removed, but a reminder that we always need Jesus' cleansing blood as the only remedy against sin.
1 Jn. b 1 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth; 7 But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us; 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Even during the 1000 year kingdom we need Jesus' cleansing blood and especially in today's society we need this blood cleansing and forgiveness and salvation.
Jesus revealed, but not for sin. - So Christ also, after having been offered once to bear the sins of many, sometime be revealed, not to bear sin, but to save those who are waiting for him. Heb 9:28. When there is peace prince of Judah to come. - A young lion is Judah. The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come, and people will obey him. 1M 49.9. Judah the Prince is the rightful heir to David's throne in Jerusalem. The prophet Zechariah tells us that Jesus will reign over the earth. - When the Lord shall be king over all the earth. In that day the LORD will be one and His name one. Item 14.9. It is rich events that are highlighted in the prophet book. Just as the high priest was not present in the most holy, but was again visible to the people, so also Christ's return. - In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east. Item 14.4. Via the Kidron Valley and the Golden gate will Jesus come into the temple area. Today, Muslims bricked up the wall and made a burial place on the east side toward the Mount of Olives to prevent their entry Judah the Prince to his throne. But there will be some geographical changes that clears all obstacles away. - And the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst of the east and west, so it will be a very great valley. One half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and the other half toward the south. Item 14.4. Judah the Prince to come, has been to Jerusalem before. Just look at his nail-scarred hands! It is the priest who gave himself to the people. No Prince of Peace is Jesus! - Yes, he shall build the temple. He shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne, and he shall be a priest he sits on his throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. Item 6.13. He gave Himself for you, you will also be your king!
When we consider the small country of Israel and how much that Arabs and Muslims have of the country, so is it towards 1000 times larger countries when we include the areas that the Palestinians are occupied by Israel in the West Bank and Gaza. With that in southern Israel has Arabs of Egypt occupied the Sinai peninsula. At the Dead Sea and east of the Jordan Arabs occupied parts of the land that Israel will have in the 1000 year kingdom and God has given them. Northbound has Lebanon and Syria occupied areas that God has given to Israel when Israel will be one nation under Christ from the Nile to the Euphrates south to the north.
Israel is the land from river to river, what we see in the flag, from the Nile to the Euphrates. 1MO 15,18 In that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your seed * I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river (the river) Euphrates.
To confirm what is written about Israel's borders as noted these limits first time in 1.Mos.15.18, for which it stands: The day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt as the great river, the river Euphrates. (Euphrates) And we know this river Euphrates is located at Iraq. As he mentions in v.19-21 some peoples and their land would be enclosed in the covenant. It mentions the Lord Hittites who is today the Turks. They lived in Hebron but later fled to the Turkish areas So then Israel will indeed go from Egypt borders the entire day Palestine including Gaza to Turkey, Lebanon and part of Syria and over to the Iraqi border at the river Euphrates. Also note that it is also about ammo races. This is actually Jordan today. It actually has God given a covenant to the Jews that Israel will be as big someday. Israel owned this great country once, but lost it by land volatility. Today, Israel has begun to take their land that God has given them. Piece by piece, he will give them back what they own. Norway and other nations of the world have no such covenant with God. It is only Jews who have. Had not God watched this covenant, Israel had been destroyed long ago. Israel as a people have no power and strength in itself to keep the other nations away, but by God's strength and he guards over his people.
From Wikipedia:
Ezekiel 47.13-20 [7] provides a ettereksilsk definition of the boundaries. The definition of Ezekiel describes Israel's promised land, which, according to Ezekiel's prophecy, is a repetition of the promised land of tribal locations for Israel to return to after their captivity (Ezekiel was during the Babylonian captivity after the fall of Jerusalem in 597 and 586 BC by Nebuchadnezzar II). The definition is a reminder that God's promise and desire for Israel was not completely canceled by the situation that led to captivity. The borders of the country, such as those described in Ezekiel include the northern border of modern Lebanon, eastwards (the way towards Hethlon) to Zedad and Hazar-enan in modern Syria; south by southwest to Busra on the Syrian border (area of Hauran in Ezekiel); follows the Jordan River between the West Bank and Gilead to Tamar (Ein Gedi) on the western shore of the Dead Sea; From Tamar to Meribah Kadesh (Kadesh Barnea), then along the river Egypt (see debate below) to the Mediterranean Sea.
Therefore define Numbers 34 and Ezekiel 47 different but equally limits include the entire present-Lebanon, both the West Bank and Gaza Strip and Israel, apart from South Negev and Eilat. Small parts of Syria are also included.
