The land in the middle east called “Israel” isn’t Israel, Israel were a people long before 1948, Rom 9 confirms that truth, the book of Romans is said to have been written between AD 56-58.
In the world today there are many people that claim to be Christian that say, “those who live in Israel are God’s chosen people”, but that teaching doesn’t agree with what the Bible says.
Rom 9:6 – For they are not all Israel who are {descended} from Israel;
Rom 9:7 – Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Rom 9:8 – That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
The fact that Israel became a nation in 1948 has nothing to do with any “end time” prophecy, Romans 9:6-8 proves Israel were a people long before 1948.
The Bible was not written for this time period, the “tribulation” that is spoken of in Matt 24:21 happened in AD 70 when Jerusalem was destroyed, and the “day of the Lord” that is spoken of in 2 Peter 3:7 happened immediately after Jerusalem was destroyed.
“New Jerusalem” that is spoken about in Rev 21 is the church, those who are born from above are “new Jerusalem”, “new Jerusalem” is spiritual, all who believe that God’s Son, Yeshua is the Messiah that don’t practice sin are new Jerusalem.
1 Jn 5:1 – Whoever believes that Yeshua is the Messiah is born of God [born of the Spirit].
1 Jn 3:9 – No one born of God practices sin, because His seed [the Holy Spirit] abides in him or her; and he or she cannot sin, because he or she is born of God [born of the Spirit].
1 Jn 5:18 – We know [absolutely] that anyone born of God [born of the Spirit] does not [deliberately and knowingly] practice committing sin, but the One Who was begotten of God carefully watches over {and} protects him [Christ’s divine presence (the Holy Spirit) within him who is born of God preserves him against the evil], and the wicked one [the spirit of the natural man] does not lay hold (get a grip) on him {or} touch [him].
We are not in the end times.
A Christian is someone that is led by the Holy Spirit, no one led by the Holy Spirit will ever say, “All who live in Israel are God’s chosen people ”, because that doesn’t agree with the Bible. No one led by the Holy Spirit will ever say something that doesn’t agree with the Bible.
If someone claims to be Christian and says something that doesn’t agree with the Bible, the person is not led by the Holy Spirit, the person is led by the flesh, those who are led by the flesh are not the children of God.
Rom 8:14 – For as many as are led by the Spirit of God [the Holy Spirit], they are the children of God.
In the world today there are many people that claim to be Christian that say it is ok for there to be different denominations in the church, that it is ok for a Christian to believe something different than what another Christian believes, but the Bible does not support different denominations in the church, 1 Corinthians 1:10 says that the church is supposed to believe the same thing.
1 Cor. 1:10 – But I urge {and} entreat you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, that all of you be in perfect harmony {and} full agreement in what you say, and that there be no dissensions {or} factions {or} divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in your common understanding and in your opinions {and} judgments.
The teaching that says, “we are in the last days” is false.
The teaching that says, “the tribulation is still to come” is false.
The teaching that says, “Revelation is about the world today” is false.
The teaching that says, “the day of the Lord is still to come” is false.
The teaching that says, “the gospel has to be preached to everyone in the world, and then the planet will be destroyed” is false.
“New Jerusalem” doesn’t have a physical temple, therefore the temple doesn’t need to re-built for Christ to return https://bornfromabove7.wordpress.com/2014/10/05/new-jerusalem-doesnt-have-a-physical-temple/
Matt 24 talks about the tribulation, the tribulation happened when Jerusalem was destroyed, both Matt 24 & Rev 12:9 are talking about the Roman world, here is a link to my post about Matt 24 & Rev 12:9 https://bornfromabove7.wordpress.com/2014/09/17/matt-24-isnt-about-the-end-of-the-planet/
Luke 21 proves the tribulation happened when Jerusalem was destroyed, here is link to my post about Luke 21 https://bornfromabove7.wordpress.com/category/a-christian-believes-the-tribulation-has-already-happened/
A Christian believes “the day of the Lord” has already happened, here is link to my post that will show why a Christian believes “the day of the Lord” has already happened https://bornfromabove7.wordpress.com/category/the-day-of-the-lord-has-already-happened/
The Kingdom of God is a spiritual kingdom, it is not a physical kingdom https://bornfromabove7.wordpress.com/2014/08/21/the-kingdom-of-god/
