Each in his or her own appointed times, (and none shall be alone in his appointed times), and those times are appointed of the Father, and no one knows the day or the hour, but the Father only; for the heir and even the join-heir, as long as anyone is a nepios-babe, differs nothing from a servant-slave, though he or she be destined as a master of all: but is rather under guardian-tutors, (Prophets and Writings), and estate governors, (Torah and Psalms which are written by Moshe, kings, and kohanim), until the time appointed of the Father, (Gal 4:1-2). You appear to have assumed yourself already to have "arrived" and having "obtained" the promise. Is that true? Have you already received the promise? For both Paul and the author of Hebrews tell you that you cannot receive the promise until you have first done the will of Elohim, (Heb 10:35-39, 1Thes 4:1, 2, 3-18). And that appointed time, as has already been said, is when a child becomes a son, (sort of like a Bar-Mitzvah, a circumcision, and an immersion all combined). And we know that Messiah has been made Minister of the circumcision for the truth of Elohim, that He might confirm the promises given unto the fathers, and that the nations might glorify Elohim for His mercy: as it is written, Therefore will I give praise unto You among the nations, and sing unto Your Name, (Rom 15:8-9). If therefore Messiah has been made the New Minister of the circumcision that means that you too must be circumcised in your walk along the Way. That circumcision is the circumcision of the heart which Paul teaches from the Torah, (Deut 10:16, Deut 30:6), as was also already stated to you. You do not wish to be circumcised in heart? Stay where you are then. You wish to remain a gentile? which may in fact mean a heathen like as the Canaanites because the word ethnos is only defined by context? Stay where you are then. You do not wish to be grafted into the Olive Tree of the All Israel of the Father and commonwealth of Israel like the Canaanite woman of Tyre, in Matthew 15:21-28, who was willing to become one of the lost sheep of the house of Israel and eventually did so by faith? (which, by the way, was a fulfillment of prophecy, Matt 15:21, Isa 23:17-18, Acts 21:3-7). Stay where you are then; but you do not know what you speak of because of a physical flesh minded carnal man mindset. It is you who believes a version of replacement theology and this is revealed by the fact that you mentioned Israel becoming a nation again in 1948. That means you believe there was no nation of Israel for almost 1900 years before that, and therefore you believe that your church and church fathers replaced Israel for the 1900 years before 1948, (and still yet until your version of "the end of the age" whatever that may be in your reckoning). Your assumption concerning Israel having been non-existent for 1900 years violates so many Tanak passages it makes your position entirely untenable. The nation is not a physical land mass with borders on your prophecy scholar Armageddon maps of the Middle East: the nation was, is, and are the people, each in his or her own appointed times, (and none shall be alone in his appointed times, O Peleshet, lol).
I miss this [MENTION=17195]daqq[/MENTION]. You just waxed beautifully loquacious. The circumcision of the "Heart" is Now! We have the Presence of God in us "Now". 1 Cor. 3:16.
Elohim... YHWH is the first Temple of this nature in the "Earthly" incarnation of the union of "God... Spirit" and the tended branch of David "Mary". Mt. 12:6; Psalm 118:22 ... The physical presence of YHWH within time conquered the "Spiritual Rule of the Adversary" that was usurped through deception. Note... Adversary stepped onto a loaded chessboard.
Now... [MENTION=17195]daqq[/MENTION], the Kingdom is... Lk. 17:21...
And Daqq... that place "Israel" mattered and matters. Joel 3:2, Romans 11:25-26, Zechariah 14:4... on and on and on... Do I have to call up Eminem and have him spit the 1000's of verses that back me up?
*Hell's Bells* Daqq, How do you miss that *God made rock and roll*? He's the Rock and like the stone on the tomb... the darkness and blindness of the Jews to the Heavy Rock will be "Rolled" away.
It's going to be a *symphony of destruction* that reveals further salvation! Rm. 11:28-32
When Acts 1:11-12 says what it says and Jesus told the Sanhedrin Mt. 26:64... you're not going to Mt. 26:65-67 , are you?
That would be *dirty deeds*. He's laid the Spiritual victory out and obtained it... Eph. 1:4; 1 Pt. 1:20
But the final "Earthly" conquering is written clearly in scripture... then we can obtain the full 1 Cor. 15.
But those in "The Bosom of Abraham" are already Lk. 23:43 .
And so yes and no to the Faith Hero's chapter Hb. 13 . We either cross the veil of death into His arms or await the final showdown brother. I look forward to being at HIS side next to you brother.
Love, Peace, Chicken Grease and looking forward to your response.
