Jacob's trouble from Jeremiah 30 is the Babylonian captivity.
Yet if it is future, which empire will be using Hebrew slave labor?
Speaking of Jacob:

Jeremiah 30:8 For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:

Anyway there is content in the chapter that sounds useful to Dispensationalist mythology, so to the dispensationalist it must be placed in the future, where flexibility of interpretation abounds.
So it gives birth to the story that modern Israel's actions will lead to the building of a third temple and usher in the Antichrist, who will kill two thirds of the people there.
Yet while believing all this, Dispensationalists support those same actions in any way they can, making excuses for genocides and preemptive wars.
So while making Christianity seem repugnant to everyone else, the dispensationalist also seers his own conscience before God.
At the time of the return from Babylon, God DID NOT make a "NEW COVENANT" with the Nation Israel.
Furthermore, Messianic Jewish believers during THE CHURCH AGE historically have NEVER been regathered to THE LAND.

These facts leave you in a very precarious position. Spiritually that is.
 
Oh and BTW: the fact of the clothes and shoes of the Israelites NOT WEARING OUT ties directly to the resurrection to glory.
You see, our bodies are nothing more than a COVERING for the true spirit life that inhabits within.

And this fact, dear friends, is only ONE of the reasons why I disregard RT's supercessionists and preterists.
But far from the only one. There are myriads upon myriads of reasons, and the pile gets larger every day.
Somebody tell cv5 his entire argument collapses the wilderness‑miracle category into the resurrection‑glory category, even though Scripture never makes that move.
The clothes not wearing out in Deut 8:4, 29:5, and Neh 9:21 are covenant‑preservation signs for a people in transit, not typological indicators of immortalized flesh, because when Paul actually teaches resurrection glory he doesn’t appeal to fabric durability but to 1 Corinthians 15, where the Spirit contrasts perishable vs. imperishable, dishonor vs. glory, weakness vs. power, natural vs. spiritual, meaning the resurrection body is a Spirit‑animated, incorruptible mode of existence, not a “covering that doesn’t wear out”; and your “our bodies are just coverings for the spirit life” claim is closer to Greek dualism than biblical anthropology, because Scripture says the body itself will be redeemed (Rom 8:23) and raised, not discarded, and the fact that God sustained Israel’s clothing for forty years proves His faithfulness, not your eschatological model — miracles in the wilderness do not define the nature of the resurrection or the kingdom.

"The clothes not wearing out in Deut 8:4, 29:5, and Neh 9:21 are covenant‑preservation signs for a people in transit, not typological indicators of immortalized flesh"

@cv5 said: "the fact of the clothes and shoes of the Israelites NOT WEARING OUT ties directly to the resurrection to glory."

Sure it does. To those who possess the gifts of knowledge and wisdom in copious quantity, this is obvious and biblical through and through.

Oh and BTW, this woman's TABERNACLE, her CLOTHING, her COVERING aka her BODY was REPAIRED "immediately". And will ENDURE forevermore. Because you see, she was granted "peace with God".

And to rightly understand this crucial typological lesson so codified in this awesome chapter, dear friends, is the difference between those who DO know, and those who DO NOT know. I suggest that you endeavor to know. Rather than batting the ball around aimlessly with AI, but not understanding the rules of the game.

Luk 8:47
And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

Luk 8:48
And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

The “those who DO know vs. those who DO NOT know” line only works if the text itself makes the typological move you’re claiming, but Luke 8 never treats the woman’s healing as a prototype of glorification — it’s a present‑age restoration, just like every other healing Jesus performs, and every one of those healed bodies later weakened, aged, and died, proving they were not glorified; Scripture reserves resurrection‑glory for 1 Cor 15 and Rom 8:23, where the Spirit defines it as the future transformation of the body into an imperishable, Spirit‑animated mode of existence, not the temporary repair of mortal flesh, and the wilderness clothing miracle (Deut 8:4; 29:5; Neh 9:21) is covenant‑preservation during a journey, not a symbol of immortality; so the “rules of the game” are simple — typology must be text‑anchored, not imagination‑anchored, and the difference between knowing and not knowing is refusing to import meanings Scripture never assigns. And if AI is what wrote this then it knows the bible better than you do.

You are a newbie, a neophyte, a rookie, a greenhorn with a laptop and an AI app.
I suggest many years (at least 3 or 4) of hearing Chronister before you issue any more suchlike ignorant proclamations.

😂the moment you start swinging “newbie, neophyte, rookie, greenhorn with a laptop and an AI app” like it’s the Sword of the Spirit, you’ve basically announced to the room that you don’t have a single verse left in the chamber, so you’re throwing Chronister‑fan‑club membership cards like ninja stars and hoping someone mistakes them for exegesis;
Scripture says test everything (Acts 17:11), not “sit quietly for 3–4 years listening to Chronister until you earn the right to read your Bible,” and the idea that spiritual understanding requires a Chronister apprenticeship is peak world‑system gatekeeping — the Bible never says “faith comes by hearing Chronister,” it says “faith comes by hearing the Word of God” (Rom 10:17), so if your argument needs seniority badges instead of Scripture, congratulations, you’ve officially left the text and entered the theological equivalent of “bro, trust me,” which is not exactly the Mount Sinai of authority.

Many despise the wisdom of elders. A sure sign of......a dire spiritual condition.
Here is a lesson for you. Enjoy AI guy.

Mar 5:30
And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

Dropping “many despise the wisdom of elders” like it’s a divine trump card doesn’t magically turn your Chronister‑fan‑club requirement into biblical authority, and tossing Mark 5:30 at me like it’s supposed to vaporize my argument is peak comedy — Jesus asking “Who touched my clothes?” has exactly zero to do with your claim that spiritual maturity requires 3–4 years of Chronister boot camp, so if that’s your proof‑text, then yes, the sarcasm writes itself.
 
What lesson is Jesus providing here? Why is he invoking the tabernacle of Moses and OT and emphasizing it so profoundly?
I suggest that you find out. It may help you with your errant view of the specific path of eschatology meant for ISRAEL.

Jesus is the only way, no other path.

Repent today and accept Jesus today. That's the message from Bible.

You have absolutely zero idea of the intense and all encompassing implications of that passage.
Tawdry is as tawdry does.

Saying “you have absolutely zero idea of the intense implications of that passage” is just the theological version of “I have a secret level in Mario you’ve never unlocked,” and dropping “tawdry is as tawdry does” like it’s supposed to stun the room doesn’t magically turn Mark 5:30 into a Chronister‑approved mystery; Jesus asking “Who touched my clothes?” is a miracle‑context question, not your personal proof that anyone who disagrees with you is spiritually blind — so if you’ve got implications, bring the text, not the dramatic fog machine.

There are a lot of clear typologies in the OT that are not specifically mentioned by the apostles and NT writers.

CV's recommendation was a literal suggestion; not a claim of a requirement to specifically attend any boot-camp.

Mark 5:30 wasn't meant to be a proof-text of this non-existent claim; it was a quote supporting his original premise that clothing is typological.

The "seniority badges" are not part of an argument; they're part of a hierarchy where those with seniority are given weight for consideration, not absolute authority.

Even Artificial intelligence should be able to figure that out.

None of what you just clarified actually touches the point I made, because the issue was never whether OT typologies exist beyond what the apostles explicitly name — of course they do; the issue was that Mark 5:30 is not a clothing‑typology text, and using it as support for CV’s “clothing = resurrection covering” claim is still a category mistake, because the passage is about present‑age healing, not glorification.

"spiritual maturity requires 3–4 years of Chronister boot camp"

How about 3-ish years? But this, of course, is a spiritually accelerated program far exceeding the norm.

[Gal. 1:17–18 KJV]
17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

Some of the future apostles, such as Peter, Andrew, John, and others, were with Jesus from quite early in His ministry. In practical terms, they received about three years of intensive personal training from Christ Himself.

BTW, Jewish sages spent the bulk of their lives in study.

So did Chronister and Fruchtenbaum, both superlative Bible scholars of the first rank, both of whom you mock, despise, and denigrate quite regularly with contemptuous glee.

Be careful who you listen to. A lot of false teaching out there.
 
Saying “you have absolutely zero idea of the intense implications of that passage” is just the theological version of “I have a secret level in Mario you’ve never unlocked,”
Also, this is not a good analogy for your position; because back when I played nintendo, there actually were secret levels, and knowing about them changes how you play through the game. If I simply dismissed my friends claims about secret levels, then I would never know about them- and my knowledge and understanding of the game would be less... I've talked to people that thought they beat Castlevania: Symphony of the night by killing Richter Belmont, when in reality that means they didn't even play half of the game.

Instances of typology don't announce themselves in the text, except in cases where somebody says "This is a parable". Typology is hidden inside of texts of any category... in fact they're hidden outside of the bible too.

Simply dismissing the idea that Mark 5:30 has typological implications is unpersuasive.

The “three‑year pattern” you’re pointing to is real in Scripture — Paul’s Arabia period (Gal 1:17–18), the apostles’ roughly three years with Christ, and the lifelong study of Jewish sages — but none of those examples function as normative requirements for spiritual maturity; they’re descriptions of how God trained specific men for specific callings, not universal timelines binding the church.

Typology is real, but it isn’t a free‑floating “hidden level” you can plug into any verse; biblical typology is always built on textual patterns God Himself establishes — covenant structures, narrative parallels, repeated motifs — not on the mere possibility that a detail might symbolize something.
Mark 5:30 can only carry typological weight if you can show a text‑anchored pattern linking clothing‑contact in healing to resurrection glory, and right now that pattern hasn’t been demonstrated.
Saying “typology is hidden everywhere” doesn’t make a specific typology valid; Scripture governs typology, not intuition.
 
Somebody tell cv5 his entire argument collapses the wilderness‑miracle category into the resurrection‑glory category, even though Scripture never makes that move.
The clothes not wearing out in Deut 8:4, 29:5, and Neh 9:21 are covenant‑preservation signs for a people in transit, not typological indicators of immortalized flesh, because when Paul actually teaches resurrection glory he doesn’t appeal to fabric durability but to 1 Corinthians 15, where the Spirit contrasts perishable vs. imperishable, dishonor vs. glory, weakness vs. power, natural vs. spiritual, meaning the resurrection body is a Spirit‑animated, incorruptible mode of existence, not a “covering that doesn’t wear out”; and your “our bodies are just coverings for the spirit life” claim is closer to Greek dualism than biblical anthropology, because Scripture says the body itself will be redeemed (Rom 8:23) and raised, not discarded, and the fact that God sustained Israel’s clothing for forty years proves His faithfulness, not your eschatological model — miracles in the wilderness do not define the nature of the resurrection or the kingdom.
You foolishly think that the miracle of the clothing is limited in scope and meaning to merely what your unschooled novice mind can conjure? And you actually thought that the manna was nothing more than a free lunch? Go ahead. Say so. I dare you.

Jhn 6:31 - Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

Jhn 6:32 - Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
