Jesus Christ: The Fulfillment of the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms—The End of the Old Covenant Age

Jesus Himself provided the clearest method of interpretation for understanding the Old Testament when, after His resurrection,

He declared that “all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me” (Luke 24:44).

Jesus identified Himself as the goal, substance, and fulfillment of Israel’s entire Scriptures (Matt. 5:17; Rom. 10:4).

>>>The Law pointed forward through sacrifices, priesthood, and covenantal patterns (Heb. 9:8–10; Col. 2:16–17).

>>>The Prophets anticipated a coming Messiah and a climactic act of divine judgment and renewal (Isa. 53; Dan. 9:26–27)

>>>The Psalms voiced both the suffering and exaltation of the righteous King (Ps. 22; Ps. 110).

Paul then affirms—“all the promises of God are Yes and Amen in Him” (2 Cor. 1:20).
[Isa 29:7-8, 22-24 KJV] 7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.

8 It shall even be as when an hungry [man] dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, [he is] faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion. ...

22 Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.

23 But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.

24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

[Isa 45:17, 25 KJV]
17 [But] Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. ...

25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
 
Galatians 4
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
 
[Isa 45:17, 25 KJV]
17 [But] Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. ...

25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

You have zero spiritual discernment. The conclusions you come up with are what an unbeliever would conclude from reading the bible. The above prophecies pertain to the believing election, not the unbelieving part. Also, Jacob prophesied that the seed of Israel would become a fullness of gentiles, so as to make Abraham's seed as the stars of heaven that no man can number. The names Ephraim and Israel are used synonymously in scripture.

And his father [Jacob] refused, and said, I know, my son, I know. He [Manasseh] also will become a people, and he also will be great, but truly his younger brother [Ephraim] will be greater than he, and his seed will become a fullness of gentiles. Genesis 48:19

I guess a person who does not want to understand the word "Israel" and how it used in scripture would always see it as an
ethno-state.

It is quite ironic given your actual correct stance towards TULIP which defines according to the system rather than the actual meaning in the text.
 
Speaking of "rulers", you have yet to comment on this earlier assemblage of passages:
Might I ask:
-when?
-why?
-who?

[Psa 2:9 KJV] 9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

[Rev 2:27 KJV] 27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

[Rev 12:5 KJV] 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne.

[Rev 19:15 KJV] 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Game over.. source unknown but perfect alignment.

As I have already indicated countless times, IN THAT DAY, all Israel will repent, a national phenomenon.

The precise antithesis of the precursory First Coming rejection of their Messiah.

Luk 13:35
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Hos 5:14
For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
Hos 5:15
I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.


Hos 6:1
Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
Hos 6:2
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.


Zec 12:2
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.

Zec 12:3
And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

Zec 12:4
In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.

Zec 12:5
And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

Zec 12:6
In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.

Zec 12:7
The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.

Zec 12:8
In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.

Zec 12:9
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

Zec 12:10
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn

Zec 12:11
In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

Zec 12:12
And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;

Zec 12:13
The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;

Zec 12:14
All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

No, the Nation Israel is NOT the "mystery now revealed Church" that was only fully understood by Acts 15.

On the contrary, the raising up of the Nation Irael is the most obvious, proclaimed and famous act of God known post flood.

The Church ALONE is the unique, one and only "virgin betrothed Bride" that is CHOSEN by the Father during the post 69th week crucifixion/ascension GAP. Only after the HARPAZO of the Bride does the redemption of the Wife of YHVH countdown commence.

Did you want me to bold out or enumerate every instance of the terms pertaining only to the House of Jacob noted in the foregoing?

You are kidding us.....right?

Gen 17:5
Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

Gen 18:18
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

Exo 19:6
And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

2Sa 7:23
And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

Psa 83:4
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
 
Galatians 4

29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

Galatians 3
King James Version
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Romans 2
King James Version
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Revelation 2
King James Version
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Of course you would say something like this rather than Christ's raising up from the dead. But that requires faith of God, which you don't have. You have faith, but it's not of God

You've set your heart on earthly things, not Christ above.

For many walk who often I told you, and now even weeping I tell, are the enemies of the cross of Christ; whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and the glory is in their shame, the ones minding earthly things. For of us the citizenship in the heavens exists, of which also we await a deliverer -- the Lord Jesus Christ, Philippians 3:18-20
 
Wow, I can see now that your hyper-dispensationalism is complete absurdity.
Unlike you, I can (and have) proven my case conclusively.

Not at all. The citizenship WE (the Church, the betrothed Bride) are yearning for is indeed heavenly.

BTW, do you actually have an OT? Would it be too much to ask that you use say.....the book of Isaiah when (vainly) attempting to prove your specious replacement theology/Israel denying claims?
 
A pharisee fantasy based on not understanding what Paul wrote and what the other apostles witnessed through their writings.
You say Paul did not understand the fact of the repentance and restoration of the Nation Israel?
Surely you jest. Peter knew of this restoration just the same.

Luk 13:35
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come ***when ye*** shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Luk 21:24
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

Rom 11:25
For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

Rom 11:26
And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:

“The Deliverer will come out of Zion,
And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;


Rom 11:27
For this is My covenant with them,
When I take away their sins.”


Rom 11:28
Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.

Act 1:6
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”

Act 3:21
“whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things (INCLUDING THE KINGDOM OF ISRAEL), which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.

You mean you have averted and / or ignored many of the words of Christ Jesus, Peter, John and Paul quite consistently so that you

could arrive

at a system which has a very thin veneer of a "conclusion" but is really a house of cards.
 
Romans 9
King James Bible
1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
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.
