Witkoff and Kushner are both Jewish. How is that for smoldering irrational hatred?
Well.....at least they are talking.
Irans strategy consists of expending what little offense weapons that remain while being methodically blown to oblivion relentlessly 24/7 while offering zero defense. It's devolved into an horrific sanguinary turkey shoot.
I'll have to speak to my Pastor to find out what our Church believes about the "two Israel's". He did preach a sermon on this topic a couple of years ago. From memory he told us that we are "the Israel of God", and that national Israel is no longer "Gods chosen people".Once again, everyone knows that the Israel of God in the New Testament refers to the church. That is not what the debate is about.
The debate is about Israel on Earth, not the heavenly Israel.
Genesis 22:17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
Believers are as the stars in heaven. The Jews on earth are as the sand upon the sea shore.
The doctrine that Israel will rebuild the temple is not based on the Bible. The issue is with the English translation from Greek. There are two different words that we translate as "temple". One is "Holy Sanctuary" and the other refers to the building that was on the temple mount at the time of Jesus. It is true that the "Holy Sanctuary" is within the physical temple building at the time of Jesus, hence the confusion, but it is also true that the Holy Sanctuary was inside of the Tabernacle that went through the wilderness. The only prophecy concerning this structure is in the Old Testament which says that the Tabernacle of David will be raised again in Shiloh.I will confirm this but I'm 99% sure he said that National Israel will never rebuild the temple, because it would be an abomination in Gods sight, since the Lord Jesus is the new Temple and the old one has no further purpose.
So, we believe that all those Israelis who converted to Christianity, have been added the Church. So the rest of National Israel are not considered to be among Gods elect.
The basis for salvation is the same for both Jews and gentiles. However, God has not yet finished with the nation of Israel. There are many prophecies to this effect. The book of Revelation makes no sense unless there is a physical nation of IsraelI'll have to speak to my Pastor to find out what our Church believes about the "two Israel's".

The only prophecy concerning this structure is in the Old Testament which says that the Tabernacle of David will be raised again in Shiloh. Now you might want to inform your Pastor that the Tabernacle of David, has been raised in Shiloh already in July of 2025. The Temple institute in Jerusalem has publicly stated that one of the certified Red Heifers has been burned to ashes "according to the Torah". According to the law in the Torah they have to burn the Red Heifer from a spot that "looks down into the Holy Sanctuary". Since they burned the red heifer in Shiloh this indicates that the Tabernacle of David was raised in Shiloh. This also indicates that they have revived the priesthood. They have also publicly stated that they gathered up the ashes of this red heifer which was burnt up. Therefore they have all they need to resume the oblations and sacrifices.
