You have to understand the Mosaic to get the picture. The Church of Christ is ALL who believe on his name, be it Jew or Gentile.
Now if I answer you in detail, will you consider it?
BUT ALAS, Israel as a Nation rejected Jesus, and thus the Mantle of spreading the Gospel to all the world was given unto the Gentile nations, this is JUST A FACT !!
It is NOT a fact.
The first of the Church were all Israelites and it was given to them to spread the gospel and the Spirit into all of the world.
Act 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
Act 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Because they rejected Jesus, along with them rejected God for many years, Israel was dispersed unto all the Nations,
Israel was dispersed many many years ago before Judah was, and Judah was dispersed in being both the Church and the Talmudic Judisers and the dead were the most wicked.
fulfilling Ezekiel's prophecy of Israel becoming Dead Men's Bones...CAN THESE BONES LIVE AGAIN !! Yes these bones are now alive again.
Definitely not. The dead of Ez.are the righteous dead who will live again in the resurrection.
Those gathering today are the descendants of Judaism, most of whom reject Jesus Christ. They are descendants of a religion framed in order to justify loving the present evil age and rejecting Jesus Christ.
Jesus foretold this prophecy also, when he said the Jerusalem would be trodden under foot until the TIME OF THE GENTILES was fulfilled.....So the Gentiles had an appointed time.
If you understand that the word gentile comes from the same word interpreted as the heathen, then you will also understand that it was in regard to nations outside of OT Israel, and the times of the gentiles began when Israel went into captivity to Babylon and the book of Daniel describes how the time began and when it will end.
and that end is at the revelation of Jesus Christ from Heaven when also the saints inherit the Kingdom and not before--
Dan 7:21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Dan 7:22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
The Church is the body of Christ or all those Jew and Gentile that believe in Jesus as he Messiah/Savior. But 95 percent of Jews will never believe that Jesus is their Messiah, until after the Rapture,
There is no pre-trib rapture in the entire bible.
If men do not believe before the return of Christ, especially as the Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached to all nations before He comes then they will not believe after He returns---
Rev 22:10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
Rev 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
Rev 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Rev 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Rev 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Rev 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
See how you go with that first.
