This is an extremely contentious idea, based I suspect on one passage of scripture, Romans 11.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
The idea that the Jews somehow have a special dispensation that cuts out Jesus is, well, what do you think?
Simplicity of the gospel? Mess of the Bible? Really?
Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
That was Peter talking to the religious leaders of Jewry.

It was fulfilled when Christ came the first time.... here is the rest of the story.
Amos 9:11-15 KJV
In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
[12] That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the Lord that doeth this.
[13] Behold, the days come, saith the Lord , that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
[14] And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them ; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. [15] And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.
Amos 9:11-15 KJV

[14] And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them ; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. [15] And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.
"they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God"
Need I say more? Listen, it seems to me that the core issue here in this rapture topic is ISRAEL. People don't know when the rapture will take place because they cannot notice that God will again deal with Israel once the times of the gentiles are fulfilled (THE RAPTURE) the church is removed and a new dispensation begins. It don't matter if you don't like the word dispensation, its in the bible and what it means is that things'll change.
So because they don't know that the tribulation is primarily about the Israel, they think the church has to go through it. They read about the Lord coming down to the Mount of Olives in Zechariah 14 and I dunno what yall do, do you say the Jews He helps escape there are just american christians and the Mount of Olives is the grand canyon? How do you explain Zechariah 14 if you hold to replacement theology? I wanna see yall 'splain it away!

The new Jerusalem isn't a literal place, it took earthly Jerusalem's place when Christ came. Try reading the verses below that tell us Hosea was fufilled at the first coming, these should help you see the truth. REMEMBER, the rebuilt tabernacle of David which is the TRUE tabernacle - the body of Christ, was fulfilled when Christ came the first time. What do you think?
Acts 15:14-17 KJV
Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
[15] And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
[16] After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
[17] That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
Acts 15:14-17 KJV

Each time YOU make a contract YOU confirm it. How? You sign it. Look.
The Tribulation will begin when the Antichrist signs a seven-year covenant with Israel (Dan 9 v.27). He will not fully honor that covenant but will break it in the middle of the 7 years.
"He shall confirm the covenant with many for one week" (seven years - each day is one year). This important phrase indicates that the event that starts the 70th week (the seven year tribulation) is the signing of a seven year Covenant between the Antichrist and Israel.It is certain that the signing of the covenant begins the period called the Tribulation.
At the halfway point of the Tribulation which is three and a half years, the Antichrist will break this covenant with Israel with an event called "The Abomination of Desolation." This also signals there is only three and a half more years remaining before Christ returns to earth to set up His Earthly Kingdom.
One Provision of that Covenant Between the Antichrist and Israel might permit the Jews to Rebuild Their Temple which must be rebuilt in Jerusalem as the unbelieving Jews will once again resume their sacrifices.
To get the Muslims to move from their Dome of the Rock, the Antichrist might negotiate an agreement between Israel and the Remnants of the Arab world to relocate them to other countries thus giving them the opportunity to build their Temple. However this is done, it will happen as Israel will once again have a temple in the end times.
Since the antichrist will come on the world scene after the strength of Russia and her Arab allies has been broken, (Gog and Magog) he could talk the Muslim survivors into moving their sacred mosque somewhere else.
So...Daniel had a vision from God that foresaw a period of 70 weeks of years in Israel's future history. After 69 weeks, Daniel writes, the Messiah will be killed. Daniel's prophecy then goes into hibernation. The clock stops. Almost 2000 years have gone by and yet there is still one unfulfilled week determined or allotted to Daniel's people (the Jews) and the Holy city (Jerusalem) before the end comes.
Shortly after the Rapture, the time clock Which has been stopped for almost 2000 years, will resume its countdown. The beginning of this event is when the Antichrist signs a seven year peace agreement with Israel and the is also the sign of when the Tribulation will begin. From that point, there is exactly seven years left before the end of the great Tribulation and the end of the world. This will be the time known as Daniel's 70th week.
A week in this case, meaning seven days, is that each day is to be one year. Originally the vision was for 70 weeks or 490 years. The clock had stopped after 483 years when the Messiah was killed. The last week will be the 7 years of Tribulation.
The Bible often refers to the Church as a mystery. In God's economy, a mystery is not a whodunit novel, but rather an event not previously revealed by God. So when Daniel was given his vision, he saw it from beginning to end, without that parenthetical period that was occupied by the Church.
Think of it this way. Imagine a man standing behind a mountain. Way off in the distance, he sees a second mountain peak. What he can't see is the valley between the two peaks. That is the way Old Testament prophets saw the unfolding of history. Daniel saw the peak upon which the Lord was crucified, and he saw the peak in time in which the Lord returns. In the middle was the mystery Church.
Israel close to confirming Antichrist’s death covenant!
on Friday, September 11, 2009 by Bill Salus
There’s no fooling humanity anymore! Mankind nervously watches current international and Mideast events spin apocalyptically out of control. The world accelerates toward a one-world banking system, one-world order, and a one-world leader. The sign’s of the times suggest the biblical Antichrist has already arrived on the scene!
Atop the list of end time’s Antichrist signs are current Middle East war gyrations. The Bible predicts that hostilities between the Jews and their Arab and Persian enemies will rise to an unprecedented fever pitch. It further states that the whole world will someday turn against Israel, leaving the Jewish State to fend for itself. From the looks of things in the cradle of civilization, that time appears to have come!
Eschatologists email each other daily with new evidences that current events continue to reinforce their conclusions that humanity is hastening toward the dreaded “Tribulation Period”. Many of them teach that this 7-year period commences with a covenant confirmed for a similar duration between Israel and the Antichrist according to Daniel 9:27. Isaiah 28:15 and 18 identifies this Middle East peace – pact as a “covenant of death”. Isaiah’s rendition likens it to an agreement with Hell!
Undeniably the spotlight has again turned toward Israel, only this time the stakes have risen to an insurmountable high. All the Middle East prophetic chess pieces, political leaders, military arsenals, and terrorist organizations, like the Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, and Hamas are in place for the final showdown.
There appears no way around it, this must be it! The time has come for a charismatic world leader to emerge and put a peace-proposal together that puts the Middle East temporarily out of its misery and finally works!
I say temporarily, because the prophecy contained in Daniel chapter nine clearly foretells that the Antichrist will violate this peace treaty at the mid-point of the Tribulation Period. He then turns his hatred toward the Jews, and in Zechariah 13:8 we are informed that he will successfully kill two-thirds of the Israeli Jewish population living at that time. In light of other important preceding prophetic events, which I’m about to introduce, we can anticipate that the final Jewish body-count affected by his end time’s genocidal effort will total well into the millions!
This brings me to the prophetic point of this article whereby I must thrust a monkey wrench into most end time’s models. All the above is true, however the Bible declares that before the peace-pact is confirmed; powerful Mideast wars are foretold to occur!
According to yet unfulfilled prophecies contained in Isaiah 17, Psalm 83, and Ezekiel 38 & 39, Israel will first do battle against the Syria, Iran, the Hezbollah, and many other of their surrounding Arab enemies. Some scholars predict that these three Bible prophecies will occur soon, sequentially, and in rapid succession.
Isaiah 17:1 suggests that Israel is about to nuke Damascus turning it into a ruinous heap. Most military analysts suspect that Israel presently has the nuclear wherewithal to accomplish this damnation of Damascus. Isaiah’s entire prophecy seems to infer that the Israeli Defense Forces are the instrument through which the destruction of the world’s oldest continuously populated city occurs.
Psalm 83 encourages the possibility that Israel will then battle against the Palestinians, Hezbollah, Hamas, and many other surrounding Arab enemies, like the Saudis, Lebanese, Jordanians, and Egyptians. This prophetic psalm declares these enemies of Israel will unite to wipe the Jewish State off of the map, so that the “name Israel be remembered no more”. (Psalm 83:4)
As I point out in my book, Isralestine, The Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle East, this Arab confederacy likewise meets its demise at the hands of the I.D.F. according to assorted Bible prophecies.
Then flip a few prophetic pages forward to the war between Israel and Iran. After Damascus goes down and the inner ring of Arab populations that share common borders with Israel meet their pending doom as per Psalm 83, Iran is scheduled to team up with Russia, Turkey, Libya and a hostile host of others in fulfillment of the Ezekiel 38 & 39 invasion of Israel.
In light of Iran’s present full court press for a nuclear weapon purposed to wipe Israel off of the pages of time, this is the prophecy most frequently discussed by eschatologists today. Ezekiel 38:18-39:6 predicts yet another massive Israeli victory over Iran and its powerful allies.
At this point I could itemize the litany of current Mideast events that undeniably indicate the world has arrived at this final fateful hour; however that’s reserved for a subsequent article. What I deposit with you in closing is that the events leading up to the Antichrist’s 7 year temporary peace-pact with Israel are about to happen. As eerie the thought may be, one could possibly presume that the Antichrist may be alive and residing somewhere on the earth today!
Furthermore; the Israeli victories in the wars listed above dictate that the content of the false covenant will probably not contain the present Israeli-Palestinian 2-state peace proposals. According to Bible prophecy Israel soon defeats the Palestinians and their Arab cohorts; thus achieving this illusive peace militarily before the advent of the Antichrist. No; Isaiah’s covenant with death, will likely paint and entirely different geopolitical picture upon its pages.
To imagine its content, one must envision the existence of a significantly different, more prosperous and powerful Israel. A Jewish State that is probably much larger and more densely populated with Jews than the lesser Israel of today.
A Greater Israel, that dwells securely in receipt of vast Arab and Iranian arsenals and spoils of war. A prosperous nation that is freed from further Arab terror, torment, and threats to be wiped off of the map.
Only then can one search the scriptures to grasp the enormity of the Antichrist’s last days covenant with Israel. Christians today ought to understand current Middle East and world events in order to utilize Bible prophecy as a witnessing tool for reaching out to a harvest field of souls. The world is filled with humanity hunkering down and hungering for truth and prophetic information, and the God of the Bible has not let them down.

Is it not common knowledge that there are 2 Israels, 2 Jerusalems, 2 heavens, 2 earths and 2 of just about everything in the bible?
Why is the disp. view always assuming EARTHLY every time Israel or Jerusalem is mentioned? Earthly Jerusalem was only a shadow of the heavenly Jerusalem.... it was used to teach us about heavenly Jerusalem. MOST of what you guys reference about Israel and Jerusalem isspeaking of spiritual Israel and heavenly Jerusalem.
Do you guys still sacrifice lambs lol.... Just kidding.

You posted that question before and I answered it.

Well now, the VAST MAJORITY of People who went back to the original languages to TRANSLATE, did not come up with the word CONFIRM, unlike those in 1611 who admitted in their Preface that they only PARAPHRASED from older English Versions, occasionally checking it against the LATIN Version, and corrected KNOWN errors. You have just exposed an unknown error that the KJV people missed in 1611.

Daniel 9:27 (CSBBible)
[SUP]27 [/SUP] He will make a firm covenant

Daniel 9:27 (AMP)
[SUP]27 [/SUP] And he shall enter into a strong and firm covenant with the many for one week [seven years].

But in God’s time and plan, his judgment will be poured out upon this Evil One."
Well now, the VAST MAJORITY of People who went back to the original languages to TRANSLATE, did not come up with the word CONFIRM, unlike those in 1611 who admitted in their Preface that they only PARAPHRASED from older English Versions, occasionally checking it against the LATIN Version, and corrected KNOWN errors. You have just exposed an unknown error that the KJV people missed in 1611.
Jesus came died on the cross, ended animal sacrifice, cursed the fig tree and punished them for their abominations.... Can't you see that that's Daniel 9? Jesus did EVERYTHING in Daniel 9:27 and Galatians 3:17 confirms that Jesus CONFIRMED the Abrahamic covenant.
Galatians 3:17 KJV
And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
Why in the world would anybody KNOWING that Jesus did EVERYTHING mentioned in Daniel 9:27 say no that's not Christ, it's antichrist. Do you not belive Jesus did everything in Daniel 9:27? I'm trying to understand why you conclude that this is antichrist.
Galatians 3:17 KJV
And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

I forgot that your version does not say "make a covenant....I was assuming. I'm sorry about that KJV1611 [h=1]Daniel 9:27 (CJB)[/h] [SUP]27 [/SUP]He will make a strong covenant with leaders for one week [of years]. For half of the week he will put a stop to the sacrifice and the grain offering. On the wing of detestable things the desolator will come and continue until the already decreed destruction is poured out on the desolator.”
