Do you see anyone in this thread express this phenomenon?
Or it is a general definition by you?

One of Israel state s enemy is Jesus. As a whole they clearly blasphemy Jesus name. I stand with Jesus.
For isreal state to murder thousands thousands of Gaza people, many are children. You don't sympathize?

All are created in the image of God. They don't deserve to be murdered. Thou shall not murder.

You are for blasphemy Jesus Name? Bombing historical Christian churches? Killing thousands of civilians? Supporting sexual immorality? Supporting pedophilia?

Jesus is the enemy of Israel....please explain that one please.
All are created in the image of God, ....please read Genesis again where God says to Satan I will put enmity between her seed and your seed. Let that sink in. Seed not spirit. Seed.
Now you explain to me when Jesus said father forgive them why that doesn't apply to the jews??? Or in your mind God disregarded
The jews.
So your telling me that raping and killing jews destroying there houses should go unpunished? That the land that was formally Israel's given to the Palestinians (gaza) along with the houses and gardens and buildings turned into a military depot is a peaceful neighborhood? Raising children to hate and kill any and all jews is hardly good parenting.
Live next to that my friend

Isaiah 48
11 pFor my own sake, for my own sake, I do it,

for how should my name be profaned?

My glory I will not give to another.


Ezekiel 36:22
I Will Put My Spirit Within You
22 “Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: yIt is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations to which you came.


Daniel 9:18–19
18 O my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see sour desolations, and tthe city that is called by your name. For we do not present our pleas before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercy. 19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive. O Lord, pay attention and act. Delay not, for your own sake, O my God, because our city and our people are called by your name.”
 
The Lord Jesus Christ IS a Jew.

He is 100% humanity and 100% deity FOREVER........

This is why the world and most believers are against the Jews.
So we’re supposed to regard Him as a Jew? Or…

“Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer."
 
Israel went beyond self defense.

4 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.

5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the Lord is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.

6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.

7 And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the Lord their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.

8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.

9 Therefore as I live, saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.

10 This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the Lord of hosts.

11 The Lord will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.

12 Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.

13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a wilderness.

14 And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds; for he shall uncover the cedar work.

15 This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.

Happened before what are the chances? Gaza not desolate yet.
 
Jesus is the enemy of Israel....please explain that one please.

Jesus is the enemy of APOSTATE Israel.
From the destruction of Jerusalem in:

Revelations 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

From the destruction of Jerusalem in:

Jeremiah 19:3 And say, Hear ye the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.
4 Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
6 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
7 And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
8 And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.
9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.

From Jesus to Jerusalem:

Matthew 23:37
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee,

Jesus meant what He said.
Isaiah- murdered with a wooden saw, Joel-clubbed to death, Amos- nailed through the temple, Micah- murdered by the son of Ahab, Habakuk- stoned to death, Ezekiel- murdered by the chief of the Jews, Zechariah- murdered between the steps and the altar, Jeremiah- imprisoned, starved, tortured and stoned to death.
Just getting started.

I noticed that you like putting second temple restoration prophesies into the future, so why not put Rev.18 and Jeremiah 19 into the future as well?

Want to relive the OT in the future still?
Why some parts and not others?
Did you ever notice that God is known to have mercy on people that He once judged?
Remember Egypt, Nineveh, Babylon, Israel?
Are you aware that the NT happened?
Do you know that those old tribes are now mixed?

Be careful, because God might hear the cries of the children of Gaza and hold you accountable.

Obviously you didnt read my full post because for some reason which happens way to much only on this site it post half of what was written. Error in browser is all the response I get.

You believe the Anti Christ UN? You really are deceived.

America is being swamped by Muslims who are lying their way into congress. Unless God does a miracle, you will soon find out why you are supporting the truly genocidal religion. You are deluded along with too many of your fellow Americans. I did not believe this to be possible. I could not imagine people being so stupid. I was obviously wrong.

Get used to going without bacon, not being able to own a dog, being treated as a second class citizen and being unable to express your Christian beliefs openly. That's if you still hold to them after Islam is done brain washing you. After all, Tucker Carlson is now a closet Muslim, so why not those who follow him?
 
Calson clearly claims Jesus Christ as Lord and savior. Not like natanyahu, who knows who he bow down to.

I am a follower of Jesus, not a follower of earthly isreal state, which is completely against Jesus. Not like some people, they worship Israel state.

Isreal state want Muslim and Christian to fight against each other, so they can benefit from it. That's exactly what's happening in the world. I am not falling into that trap.

Jesus never say to pick either Muslim or Jewish. Jesus say to follow Him only, not any pagan calf.

For older Christians, let you yes be yes, let you no be no.

Both Muslim and Israel have violence around the world. people should research that history. But Israel state has more weapons, so they can perform more violence.
What do you know about Islam? Nothing, obviously. Carlson is a new version of Judas, betraying Christianity for the petrodollars that Qatar corrupted him with. Anyone can claim to be Christian. Carlson's own words condemn him.

Already have.

How would that work then?
If your understanding has already put Revelations 18 and Jeremiah 19 into a future fulfillment,
does that not mean that you think GOD is going to destroy modern Israel and there will be much rejoicing in heaven over the fact?

Obviously you didnt read my full post because for some reason which happens way to much only on this site it post half of what was written. Error in browser is all the response I get.

I read your quotation of Isaiah 48:11, Ezekiel 36:22 and Daniel 9:18-19.
My objection is that all three have direct relevance to a second temple restoration fulfillment.
Throughout the first half of Daniel 9, Daniel has the second temple restoration on his heart mind and prayer.
He tells us in v.2 that he understands the prophesy of Jeremiah that the Babylonian captivity is to last 70 years, and that time is nearly done.
Ironically I frequently hear Jeremiah's second temple restoration prophesies interpreted into the future too.
 
So we’re supposed to regard Him as a Jew? Or…

“Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer."

Yes, we do well to keep that in mind,
Yet Jesus' Jewish birth and His ministry to the Jews first is highly significant too.
By this we know that the God He came to reconcile us with is the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.
 
I also said that as America turns against Israel, blessing will come off. Compared to much of the world, America is still vastly better off. The world generally is worse off. It will get much worse. Germany is still strong, relatively speaking.

It is a bitter irony that Islam is the primary threat to the democratic way of life. While the world rants about 8 million Jews who just want to be left alone, Muslims flood the same nations. They do not come to take part. They come to take over. How do I know? First, they say so. Second, it is happening. In America too.

The best example of decline is the UK, where I am from originally. They went from ruling a quarter of the the world to barely surviving in only a few decades. Britain's anti Jewish attitudes were to blame.
i would say the reason for the downfall is the democratic way of life. why should the uneducated majority decide anything? not only that but you cant have a democracy with open borders, because once you flood your land with foreigners they will become the majority and what is left of your democracy? the tyranny of the majority ,as always.

and oh, who decided to have the open borders? the voters. (the women voters to be frank here, according to stats they love the open borders, they vote with their motherly instinct and want to save the world and help everyone. these days the men should not be allowed to vote either, testosterone levels are so low that they are practically women as well.)
 
This fits perfectly. As I am on the fence about this, how do you interpret Revelation 18&19 which seem to connect the downfall of Babylon to the second advent and the wedding?

I have an afterthought about this question that you asked me.
We so often hear people that we respect speaking about Jesus' kingdom in Revelations as if it fits into a time and a geography that we forget everything He has already taught us about it.

Luke 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Jhon 8:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence

Mathew 16:28 28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Note Jesus was not talking to people of future generations.
He lived in the old covenant, and the New covenant is everlasting and therefore cannot last for a literal 1000 years, or be fulfilled within a particular place on the map.
Some (including John) with whom Jesus spoke also saw Jerusalem destroyed, signifying the death of the old and the rise of the new.
Christs kingdom cannot last for a literal 1000 years also because it is EVERLASTING.

2Peter 1:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
(notice that "hath" is present tense)

The core reason is people are turning away from God, little by little since early 1900, now accelerating.

God is using other groups to teach us lessons. Same in history, all the empires are all in God s mighty calibration. Not because other group is more righteous, but because "we" are too evil.

I doubt people in heaven have blood coursing through their veins.. seems me a spiritual body would be entirely different, I am curious what you think though?

People in heaven have Jesus blood. And Jesus blood only.
Hence anyone reject Jesus, they don't have Jesus blood in them, therefore, not born again, not seeing the kingdom of God.
