History before theology.
It's a lot to absorb. You might have to do real thinking instead of fixating on favorite passages that reinforce what you already heard radio and TV tell you was true.
These things are not opinion. After 40 years of hearing everything from every direction, it is still possible for the dust to settle and for the historic thing to emerge clearly.
I have don't most of your list, btw. That's how I got here. I have probably spent 2 years exlusively on how the NT uses the OT.
Hold on, though, about your #2. It sounds worthless. That is not exegesis. That is testing the winds.
I think what you may need to see, what many people need to see, is that there is no clear distinction between eschatology and justification. That is why the sample sermon in Acts 13 turns Israel's destiny into the theme of justification. You can gawk at that and say he lost his train of thought. I disagree. It is actually what Isaiah's 2nd half was saying all along.
I could demonstrate the essential fact in each one, but will wait to see if you have a specific question. What, for example, is loose about the proposition about 'people' in Mt 21? Once you realize that there is a play on the term 'ethnes' it is quite clear what happened to ethnes, of which Israel is one.
Hi and just what does ETHNOS mean in Matt 21:43 and who is that NATION / ETHNOS in that passage ?
Better read John 11:47-51 to see what NATION / ETHNOS really means , don't you see ??

What a novel idea! :thumb:Nope, just quoted a scripture from the exact same chapter you referenced, that defined the promise for you.
That "silence is cancellation" premise of yours has you crazy.that's all the "old" arrangement, my friend. None of it survives through Hebrews 7-10. To mention just one place. Try 2 Peter 3. Here is the most complete statement about the 2nd coming and there is nothing Judaic coming. Because there does not need to be. Not if Heb 7-10 or 2 cor 3-5 is true.
That "silence is cancellation" premise of yours has you crazy.
A false premise leads to a FALSE conclusion.
Yep - in Scripture, what goy, goyim, and ethne are each referring to is defined or determined by each their use - in - each - particular - instance.
Isaiah 8:20
Nehemiah 8:8
Acts 17:11,12
Nevertheless, Rom. 5:8
He pits old vs. new instead of believing it all. What a mess.
It still has to be properly understood FIRST.
Yep.Hi and John 11 is a KILLER and it teachs what a translitered words mean , as NATION / ERHNOS means race , nation , heathen , gentile and Jewish nation !!

Yep.
Luke 7:5 (KJV)(7:5) For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
John 11:48 (KJV)(11:48) If we let him thus alone, all [men] will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
Both ethnos

Good homework but irrelevant to Mt 21. He took the people of Israel in his vineyard and fired them and said it will be worked by a 'nation' that will produce its fruit. That is the criteria. Yes, it was 'ethne' but as we know, the NT does not make race distinctions. It distinguishes on faith vs unbelief.
You are CONFUSING the dispensation of the grace of God with what you call the "NT".Good homework but irrelevant to Mt 21.
