If nobody had ever told us to understand these verses as a "rapture", we would all naturally understand them as the second coming of Christ. Rapture theory started at a prophesy conference in 1830 after Margret McDonald "trans-channeled" the idea.

I am pleased to hear that, because I think 2 stage rapture is nonsense too. I would also chuck out the future 70th week of Daniel and 7 year tribulation. Biblically illiterate nonsense. That leaves only the resurrection of all, righteous and wicked, when Jesus comes.

There is reference in those chapters to the heavenly Jerusalem which will be more fully appreciated after the resurrection. I do not believe that a "post rapture" age will ever come, as two stage pre-trib rapture is a modern day false doctrine used by those who wish to defend their earthly focus...

Your "sun moon and stars" prophesy comes from Jeremiah 31, and is about a "new covenant" God will make with Israel. This new covenant is described in Jeremiah 31:31-34. I am not trying to "attack" you, but please take an interest in the fact that the exact same covenant is described in Hebrews...

You are just splitting hairs on ethnicity as usual. The old Hebrew ethnicity does not remain unmixed at this time, so defining people as "Jews" and "Gentiles" no longer makes any real sense.

I have already acknowledged that God gave the holy land to the children of Israel in fulfillment of his promise to Abraham. The Mosaic covenant that bound the children of Israel to the land was done away with, but only AFTER the Abrahamic promise was already fulfilled. You also quoted Hebrews 11...

But He cooperated with those who called Him the king: Luke 19:37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; 38 Saying, Blessed be...

Actually to a Christian there is no king other than Jesus. Romans 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before...

And God did all those things He promised to Abraham. Yet for the children of Israel the covenant that bound them to the land was with Moses. So you understand now? Good.

There is nothing to gain by changing ethnic identity, even if that was possible. No special prizes for being ethnically Jewish other than the same salvation Jesus offers also to the nations. Paul mentions an "advantage" that a Jew has in Romans 3:1 however, but having the oracles of God only...

So referring to Jeremiah 31 as you always do, Which covenant would that be? Is it the Mosaic covenant that is discussed in vs. 31-34?

Good job? He twisted the Galatians 6 to it's opposite meaning!

Futurist dispensationalists are not exactly scholars, they just infuse their favorite hobby horse into the words of the Bible. Anybody can do that, it just proves they are shallow, not scholarly. Anyway, just to help you along with your superiority complex, here is what those pathetic "doormat"...

I noticed all those futurists and dispensationalists shooting themselves too.

I was actually thinking about 2Samuel 7:12 " And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne...

Yes of course it is important that Jesus is born as king in the line of David. He has established the line of throne of Davis forever in His heavenly kingdom, thereby fulfilling God's promise to Israel. It does not matter that others from that line can no longer be found, because there never...

The one that is preoccupied with ethnicity here is not me.

You figured wrongly. I have never been to America, and my family came from Israel.

No, modern Israel really is a criminal cause. Don't support it.

Actually there are a lot of parallels between the book of Ruth and breeding queen bees too.
