You think that sounds oh so "scholarly," like you are a writer, a "Mid Acts giant," don't you, Nicky? TOL laughs at your acting job.
Give us another "Sir" Robert Anderson, would you, Nicky? Please teach "we" Please?

How did I do
If you believe that you didn't spell the word correctly then check a dictionary, sonny boy.
Hey, Nicky! You should thank me for posting, so it looks like there is some interest in your redundant "threads!
Sonny boy, you know that I always welcome your input on all of my threads. But you made a huge blunder when you earlier denied that the following words of John are speaking about the rapture:
"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is" (1 Jn.3:2).
John told these believers that they were expecting to see the Lord Jesus appear while they remained alive and they were expecting that at His appearance they would be made like Him. There is no evidence that when the Lord Jesus returns to the earth to set up His earthly kingdom that living believers will be made like Him. Therefore, John's words can only be in regard to the "mystery" truth found here and only applies to members of the Body of Christ:
"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed" (1 Cor.15:51-52).
I showed you these facts more than once and you still remain confused. And don't forget that those who received the Hebrews epistles were expecting an "imminent" appearance of the Lord Jesus and only members of the Body of Christ were expecting an imminent appearance.
The Hebrew epistles were written and received during the present dispensation. If the doctrine found in those epistles is not for the present dispensation then those who received those epistles would have been told that it is not for the present dispensation.
The Hebrew epistles will be searched in vain for any instance where the author tells his hearers that the doctrine is not for the present dispensation but instead for a future one.
Perhaps that issue is addressed in the book?
If what is said in John's first epistle was for a future dispensation then John would have told them, "What I am telling you is not for now but instead it is for a future dispensation."

So your opinion is that there will no longer ever be a remnant of Israel?Here we read about the believing remnant of Israel:
"But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby" (Eph.2:13-16).
The middle wall of partition has been broken down and the remnant has been reconciled unto God in one Body, the Body of Christ:
"For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit" (1 Cor.12:13).

All NT eschatology falls apart when it does not distinguish the 1st century Judean material from the world wide. The return was expected 'right after' the DofJ, but this was not locked. Only the Father knew and He delayed.
In Lattourrette's history, you'll find that the apostles who lived through the time of horrendous turmoil in Judea did not expect anything like that to repeat in the future, and simply believed that they should continue to spread the message. Page 44.
To be honest about the 'rapture' we must see that it was only referred to in reference to that turmoil happening. There are plenty of descriptions of the return that don't "need" a rapture. In Rev 21, in the last conflict of all believers with the Enemy, the Enemy is suddenly destroyed and the NHNE is made. Does that "need" a rapture? It happens to quick to matter.
The topic is a very misguided interest, and the believers back in Judea in that event were told to leave the city when the noose tightened around the city. There was even an interruption in the siege that allowed for many to escape.
The AofD is the final anti-leader of Judaism standing and attempting to lead the nation into waiting for God to destroy the legions that had come against it. It was futile.
So your opinion is that there will no longer ever be a remnant of Israel?

I was looking forward with much hope that the link you provided would clear up your ideas about the rapture.
But it seems as if you want to talk about anything and everything EXCEPT the rapture.
You ain't fooling anybody, junior!

But now in Christ - this side of unbelieving Israel's having lost her privileged status and concluded under sin WITH the Gentiles - you Gentiles who were far off prior to that, are made nigh with them that WERE nigh.
For bible believers...
Yes, and the believing Jews and the believing Gentiles were both made nigh when both groups were "reconciled unto God IN ONE BODY by the Cross:
"But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby" (Eph.2:13-16).
There is not even a hint that the wall of partition still stood between the two groups and there is not a hint that only some of the Jews are in view here.
Besides that, we know that those who received the Hebrew epistles were expecting an imminent appearance of the Lord Jesus and only those in the Body were looking for that appearance.
It seems as if those in the Neo-MAD community know nothing about the raptue and worse thsan that they don't seem to have any interest at all for learning about it.
Ignorance is bliss!
Hi Jerry and 2 Cor 3:13-15 , and happy FRIDAY ! to you !!
Since the wall is down , how are Jews saved to day...
