Re: Does Acts 1:6 prove that ethnic Israel has a future as a nation based on physical descent?
"Dispensational fantasy"
two words have never been so joined at the hip as those. lol
i like this guys conversation. the problem is, where is the info that they could not bear then?
god hates fortune-tellers and jesus himself said that there is no sign, etc. jesus was glorified and his reign began. study it for it cant be denied.
what does the reign of jesus look like? well, the same as when god himself reigned over israel.
Judges 21:25
In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
this is a matter of perspective. of course they had a king. they just didnt believe in him.
samuel 8
7 And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. 8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee. 9 Now therefore hearken unto their voice
which is how our father rolls, for he gives us the desires of our hearts. not such a good deal considering the condition of most peoples hearts.
and then there is this, of course
Luke 17:21
20-21 Later, he was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, and he gave them this reply: “The kingdom of God never comes by watching for it. Men cannot say, ‘Look, here it is’, or ‘there it is’, for the kingdom of God is inside you.”
yep. jesus has been reigning ever since the father handed over the scepter to him at his glorification. and after a thousand years, the devil was once again loosed with their reign of terror of war(murder), theft, lies, usury, etc, etc, etc.
jesus reign did not end, it has simply been further obscured by all that the devil has brought us in idol worship, art, technology, buildings and such. all those cainite talents invented by them before the flood.
of course the world calls the first thousand yeas with satan bound a dark and dull age. andand after about 1054, all the new devices and degeneracies of the devil are called enlightenment and progress.
satans time is running out. look out.
for a better perspective of christ i offer this.
jesus is not christ, as is obvious in the genealogies of matthew. in the last 14 generations to christ, jesus is number 13. christ is 14. you have heard of the body of christ, havent you?
want to see the body of christ? it is nebuchadnezzars statue in daniel. jesus is the golden head. the apostles are the silver arms. brass thighs are the further church. then the iron legs are the codified, standardised, universal(catholic) church. then in 1054 the church was split into which allowed satan to be released. the reformation gave us iron and clay feet.
thats not firm, just an outline of which i am waiting for more clarification. but it seems to me...
Matthew 12:25
And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
that the division that has been continual in the "church" is the abomination that makes desolate.
i believe its all in the bible but lifelong brainwashing by the world system makes it hard to see.
Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
if the lord comes today he will find me workin on it.
Matthew 24:45-47 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
