Harvesting of the Earth

[Musicmaster]

According to Scripture,
Christ came to Israel first “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” (Matthew 15:24),
Salvation is from the Jews, “Salvation is of the Jews.” (John 4:22)

That grammar states that Jesus came ONLY to Israel, not just first, but ONLY. It's also stated that salvation is OF the Jews, which is why Gentiles in times past had to become Jews for salvation. The reason I say this is because when I see alterations stated about the text that doesn't support the changes in language applied by various commenters in these threads, I have to question this practice and the content of the claims.

This means:
The Messiah is Jewish
The covenants are Jewish
The promises are Jewish
The Scriptures are Jewish
The apostles are Jewish
The gospel itself is rooted in Israel’s story
This is not up for debate. It is the foundation of Christian theology.

And yet antisemitic replacement theology says that Israel has been cast aside forever because of their alleged guilt in crucifying Christ. Perhaps you don't believe this, but there are those who do. Replacement theology manifests in many, many forms in theological discussion and beliefs. Most deny that Gentiles, before salvation had come to them, didn't have to become Jews for salvation before the fall of |Israel, which is a denial of what scripture portrays throughout the gospels and Acts.

But Jesus says this in a conversation with a Samaritan woman, showing that the Jewish source of salvation does not restrict its recipients.

Please note that Jesus agreed that it was the "crumbs" of what feel from the table by which the Gentiles could be blessed, which clearly shows the source of any and all blessing Gentiles could ever receive THROUGH Israel, not in spite of Israel.

The prophets, Jesus, and the apostles all affirm:
Israel’s future repentance (Zechariah 12:10)
Israel’s national restoration (Ezekiel 36–37)
Jerusalem as the kingdom center (Isaiah 2:1–4)

Yes. Amen.

The land promises fulfilled (Genesis 17:7–8; Romans 11:29)
The tribulation centered on Israel (Jeremiah 30:7; Matthew 24)
The nations streaming to Zion (Isaiah 11:10; Micah 4:1–3)
So again, you are correct: Israel is central in God’s eschatological plan.

Yes. God is correct in what He stated in His inspired word.

But Scripture also says, “In you all nations shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:3)

Notice, if you will, the grammar, where it states that IN Abraham and his descendancy, IN Israel were all nations blessed. That blessing is made glaringly graphic in Esther 8:17.

Israel’s role is mediatorial, not exclusive.

Israel was indeed exclusive at the only portal through which Gentiles had to pass for salvation, adhering to the Law like all the genetic Jews. Gentiles became Jews once they joined themselves to Israel.

To affirm Gentile inclusion is not antisemitic. To affirm Israel’s election is not exclusionary. Scripture holds both truths together without contradiction.

Inclusion in blessings, yes, but not in the New Covenant yet to be established in the Millennial Kingdom after the tribulation.

Paul warns Gentiles, “Do not be arrogant toward the branches.” (Romans 11:18)
And he warns Israel “They too, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in.” (Romans 11:23)

Paul wasn't speaking to Israel given that he was the apostle to the Gentiles.

The danger is pride, not ethnicity.
Salvation is:
From Israel (John 4:22)
Through Israel’s Messiah (Romans 9:5)
For Israel first (Romans 1:16)
And for all nations (Isaiah 49:6; Matthew 28:19)

For all nations AFTER the fall of Israel, yes.

God’s plan is:
Centered on Israel
Extended to the nations

Yes, after the fall of Israel UNTIL the rapture, then all bets are off (so to speak).

United in Christ
Completed in the kingdom
There is no contradiction. There is no antisemitism. There is only Scripture.

Remembering that the Kingdom is for Israel only, who alone will rule the world under the Kingship of Christ.

SEMITES? That is some invention surely to control and they victimize themselves to the point of wanting to run over all Gazati citizens in the name of their false choice.

Mm, you have answered your own question. Congratulations

Bible is to read as a complete story, not bits and pieces.

God will definitely hold so called "teachers" accountable.

 

[Musicmaster]

Not sure how you pick up that? Why not?

I see people elevating all golden calfs. You can examine all cc posts.

In your post, #209, you mentioned that there is no elevation of one group above another. If that was misunderstood, then I welcome clarification. Thanks

When you don't understand the complete story, thus your being a product of public media and its liberal bias, I understand your statement.

LIBERAL? The Zion. ishit that you give off is a liberal who is vilifying Iran until they put agents to talk about Iran badly in the Western Palestinian movements themselves, so you are those of your offspring slanderous and ilk
We are the opposite of liberalism or neoliberalism

 

[Omegatime]

Your bet is wrong.

You have been following me?

Ouch....

Not really-but you are on my thread

 

[craqdi]

Palestine has to be liberalized with the support of all governments and real support by making pressure

 

[Churchgoer]

Not really-but you are on my thread

Thank God

 

[craqdi]

Most churches as well as the Vatican have sent their spirits and support to the Palestinian people
The same Italian senior Giorgia did it And he is right

 

[craqdi]

It is not about left or right but moral values. although they are in clear decline.
Therefore Palestine always.

Interesting.

Interesting.

literally many people don't know

I suggest not to pick sides, unless we know absolutely that's God side.

The angel said to Joshua, he came for neither side, but for almighty God.

better not to support any secular side.

 

[dkontner]

I support my brothers and sisters regardless of where they live. And they DO LIVE everywhere.

Jews betrayed God that's why he is fully with Palestine the saint

 

[Churchgoer]

Imagine Christian church pull out of support to any secular side?

It is a spiritual battle!!!

The blessed Palestine cannot be touched is the home of God there he was born

What are you assuming from this, may I ask?
