    More about Israel.

    Entitlement to live in the holy land was not entirely a separate issue from salvation either. That is why so many perished in the wilderness for their unbelief. Just as the ceremonial sacrifices of the Levites were a ministry of the true sacrifice of Christ, the holy land was a ministry of the...

    The promises that He made to the unfaithful Jews were not that nice. You can read them in Deuteronomy 28:15-68. He fulfilled them when He judged apostate Jerusalem in 70AD. The nation that began in 1948 is not old covenant Israel, and no such earthly nation will ever be restored. The ethnic...

    From another prophesy much like the "sun, moon and stars" of Jeremiah 31: Jeremiah 33:20 Thus saith the Lord; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; 21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my...

    From Ezekiel's dry bones prophesy: Ezekiel 37:24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. Q. Where is David in the days after Ezekiel? A. This "David" is Christ. Ezekiel...

    The promises are to the children of God. If your spiritual Father is not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, none of them are for you, even if you are Jewish. If you believe in Jesus in a way that He accepts, you have also come to the Father, and inherit His promises. This is universal to all.

    Paul and Peter are pretty special though.

    Stop adding things to Romans 11. There is nothing there about land.

    I see this as the key to a correct understanding of the Abrahamic Covenant. It would clarify the meaning a lot more though if we were to say "Jesus is the one who defines". Concerning the house of David it was prophesied: "He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of...

    A fully unconditional covenant would include all, otherwise there must be a group of people who do not meet the conditions to inherit it. Is it unconditional to Abraham and all that are in Christ Jesus, or is it unconditional to all that carry a qualifying % of Abraham's DNA, or is it any other...

    Salvation carries the condition of faith. It is the same for all.

    If we are not able to spiritualize the old Testament in the same way that Paul does, we have created a carnal religion. it is no longer the "gospel of peace", but religious extremism in the name of Jesus. In the allegory of Galatians 21-31 Paul teaches us about earthly Jerusalem, even as it was...

    It seems to me that you are not seeing a connection between the Abrahamic covenant and salvation? We should probably clear that one up first. If that covenant has nothing to do with salvation, it also has nothing to do with Jesus. I will show you that this is fortunately not the case. Hebrews...

    What should we do to prepare for the rapture?

    I do not even know if the new earth will operate on the same vibrational frequency that we now call "physical". It is as much of a mystery as the new Jerusalem, built by God. At least we know that the temple is living, and Jesus Christ is head stone of the corner (Psalm 118:22).

    Sorry if I have taken a wrong understanding of your previous comment. Of course the new heaven and earth is a complete mystery to me too.

    2Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be...
