God kept His promise.
It's not God's fault that you don't understand it.

So... I would like you to produce one single scripture that specifically calls the Body of Christ (Already) joined... "The Bride". Bet ya Israel is called the Bride time and time again. If Thessalonians has "The Body" with Him and brings the remaining alive to be "caught up" with Him... but in Zechariah. 14:4 He fulfills the words of the Angel from Acts 1 by returning to the Mt. of Olives... as it says... How is the Groom not coming for His ancient Bride.
"I don't know where the depreciation of Christ got started but it has sure damaged a lot of people's faith. They now think faith rests entirely on events in the middle east. Which is hooey."
Yes. Christian Zionism focuses less of its attention upon Jesus Christ and makes outstanding in perception its teaching that Old Covenant Israel goes on in the era of the New Covenant, which depreciates Christ. This makes it another gospel (Galatians 1: 6-9, II Corinthians 11: 4).
"But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away............For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.: II Corinthians 3: 7, 11
"Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second." Hebrews 10: 9
The assembly of the faithful is even retroactive in ch 11, going back into the previous covenant, and NOT including all of them simply because they were physical descendants. This should not be hard to see, but the use of physical descendants to trump all other considerations is the error of D'ism since it began.
