The Valley of Dry Bones: The rod is still broken.

So the state of arkansas has the closest mineral formation to isreal.

Very many things stem from arkansas that go unnoticed.

It is possible that ark and saw is closely tied into end times but goes unnoticed.

Along with the rocks being the same there is also a massive underground cave system that may or may not be in use today.

There are also two Israels I think. There is the one in the modern world and the one that comes after Jacob's Trouble too. It's signaled by the New Jerusalem where the Millennial Reign will start and take place. Those who are gathered by Christ are put through the judgment and will compose the new kingdom of Israel with the New Jerusalem.

The genetic nation of Israel is no longer existent.The assimilation started 3,000 years ago.Israel (which means struggles with Elohim) is the archetype of ALL of mankind.The genetics of a nation of people are meaningless.The creator God does not favor ANYONE over anyone else.That is racist elitism at best.

God does not play favorites, but He did make a promise to Abraham because of his quality of faith. For that reason, the Hebrew genetic line will never become totally assimilated. Its not racism, if you think about it, the Church has a far better blessing than that of Israel.

I think that goes together with the "Jews who say they are Jews, but are not". The people in modern Israel are probably mostly hebrews, but they lack the faith that makes them the seed of Abraham. They claim to be Israel, but they are not.

The promise was to the seed "through" Abraham.The seed is Yahoshua the son of the creator God to ALL of mankind.There are no "chosen" genetic people that are blessed.It is ALL of mankind (Israel) that will be "chosen" to be delivered by Yahoshua not just the self chosen.

There are two brides of Christ: Israel and the Church. This was foreshadowed by the two brides of Jacob. Israel is likened to Rachel, the desired bride, and Leah was the bride that Jacob was given instead. We, the Church, are like Leah. To say that God will not keep His promise to the genetic seed of Abraham is to say that Jacob took off with Leah, without staying for Rachel, his first love. The Church did not and cannot fill Israel's shoes. We as the Church are a collection of jews and gentiles to be adopted as the spiritual seed of Abraham, but before the Church, the nation of Israel was the genetic and spiritual seed of Abraham.

The scriptures clearly state it is by the “seed” (the christ..the anointing) that ALL of mankind will be blessed.That seed was only “through” Abraham.It is not Abraham.

There are not two brides of the anointing there is one....ALL of mankind. That is the ekkelisia (church) the gathering of ALL mankind.

The genetic nature through Jacob and his two wives Leah and Rachel have nothing to do with who is blessed with the anointing.They are archetypes just as Israel and the 12 patriarch heirs are.

Im afraid that is not correct. The Parable of the Ten Virgins separates the Ten brides into two categories: the wise who brought sufficient oil, and the foolish. There are five brides in each category to show that both are redeemed (five is the number of ransome in Num 3:50). At the end of the parable, Jesus says regarding the foolish virgins, "watch, therefore, for you know not the day or hour (of the groom's return)".

Jesus came for Israel, but left having to prepare a room for the Church in Heaven. However, He has promised the BELIEVERS of genetic Israel that He would return for them too. Only Israel and the Church are Brides. The patriarchal and redeemed tribulation gentiles will be invited to the weddings.

Jesus is indeed the seed of Abraham that blessed the world, but before Jesus' advent, Israel represented God on earth (Psalm 82 "I have said you are Elohim"). During Israel's years of humility, many nations were blessed, and many nations recieved the gospel of the hope for the Messiah.

ETA:

Romans 11:24 describes Israel's regrafting into the tree as a natural branch.

a reply to: BELIEVERpriest

You are very incorrect.The virgins are not brides.The foolish virgin are those that BELIVE they are the “church”.The truth is ALL of mankind is the church.

a reply to: Rex282

Look, just read Romans 11. It is clear as day that genetic Israel aka the natural branch will be redeemed in the end. If you cant comprehend that much, then you will not be able to truely understand the Bride of Christ or the Parable of the Ten Virgins. What you are teaching is replacement theology, and it has no biblical foundation.

The world is not the Church. The Church are the believers who are called out from the world. If you teach a universal salvation of the world, then you have let Satan convert you into his pawn.

Salvation is by faith in Christ's payment for our sins. There is no other way for salvation. The world is not of faith.
