Apostate Israel is Babylon- common sense.

[Timtofly]

Yes, it is. Your ignorance shines through yet again. Please ask God for wisdom (James 1:5-7).

Leviticus 23:34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord. 35 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. 36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein

Ezra 3:1 And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem. 2 Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God. 3 And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear was upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the Lord, even burnt offerings morning and evening. 4 They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required;

These scriptures speak for themselves. They show that keeping the feast of tabernacles involved seven days of "daily burnt offerings". So, what were you saying again about the feast of tabernacles not being about animal sacrifices?

And the Passover tells one to slay a lamb.

Yet no one offers animal sacrifices any more. That was abolished by God at the Cross. Yet those feast times are all still celebrated today without the animal sacrifices.


What is not in effect is God smiting the nations, which you claim should be an ongoing punishment, even though there was no Jerusalem to send a yearly delegation to.

Now who is not interpretating Zechariah 14 correctly? Do you see God judging the nations each year? There is no animal sacrifices mentioned in Zechariah 14. The feast of the tabernacles can still be a yearly occurrence without them.

Should you inform Israel they should not recognize any of the yearly feast even Passover, in direct violation to God's command?

Do you understand that no animal sacrifices are necessary?

 

[Timtofly]

You utter falsehood with every comment you make. Blindness has been removed from many Israelites over the past almost 2,000 years. Including some of them in Paul's day, as he explained here:

Romans 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. 8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: 10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. 11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.

Can you see here how Paul wanted to help save some of those who were blinded in his day? And I'm sure he did. So, your claim that I give no time for blindness to be removed is complete nonsense. I believe blindness has been removed from some Israelites for the past almost 2,000 years. You are the one who postpones their blindess being removed for at least around 2,000 years, not me.

That is not the point. Of course all of Israel could receive the second birth. No one was forced by God to reject the gift of salvation, contrary to calvanism, which declares limited Atonement.

You are missing the point that after the Second Coming, the entire nation from that point on will be natural branches again. They are currently not natural branches but cut off.


The point is not that they can be grafted in. The point is the status of being a natural branch. As long as they are cut off, they endure blindness in part. Not that they cannot be redeemed.

The church should have always wanted Israel to be redeemed in every generation since the Cross. The church is not enemies of Israel. Israel was at enmity with the church. The church should never persecute or fight any one who does not hold to their belief system. Yet having a central government, places the church into physically fighting wars against other humans.

You interpret this verse the same way you interpret Zechariah 14 as fulfilled already:

"And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins."

This is exactly what happens in Zechariah 14, when the Deliverer out of Zion will come and defeat an attack against Jerusalem, and take away their sins. Zechariah 14 is talking about what Paul prophecied, after the fulness of the Gentiles had been completed, not ongoing during the fulness of the Gentiles.

You only interpret some of Israel get saved, not Israel 100% as a nation getting redeemed, and ruling properly over all other nations, who also are redeemed. Adam's punishment is removed at the same point in Zechariah 14.

Last I checked creation is still groaning under sin and death. That is removed in Zechariah 14. All is Holiness, even the pots.

Did you notice that Paul used the term Jacob, that is currently Israel's position. Not the Israel of old and Of God. The Israel today is of Jacob, the earthly faulty Jacob. But the Second Coming will restore all of Jacob back to Israel, not a single one will be left out in the darkness. That does not mean all today of Jacob will be saved. Only a remnant will be saved including 12,000 from every tribe as John declared. Israel as a 12 tribe nation will be restored according to family. These are the sheep in Matthew 25. But the goats will be the 2 thirds majority of Jacob at that time cast into the LOF. Their time of redemption over and missed.

You have all this as already happened, because you say the Deliverer already came in the first century, destroyed all the wickedness, and left only a remnant to live peacefully in Jerusalem to this very day, which means that 70AD never happened in your interpretation.

 

[Zao is life]

That's some funny stuff right there.

I'm in a conversation with a Jew on another site who said at 3:40 am


"Israel does NOT have freedom of religion, exactly because it IS illegal to proselytize. That's what I meant when I said he wasn't welcome there."


You want me to hook you up with that Jew so you can set her straight?

It's illegal to proselytize in Israel, which in Israel is interpreted as trying to get someone to convert. It's not illegal to worship Christ or practice Christianity or to share your faith in Christ with others - as the videos I provided show. It's not illegal to hand someone a New Testament after asking them if they'd like to read it.

You will get locked up in an Islamic state for doing that, possibly murdered - and these days, even in "no-go zones" in parts of Europe and the UK you could get murdered for doing that.

You will not be murdered or locked up in Israel for doing that. And I'm not interested in your non-present "Jewish witness" who probably would not support the things you said in a post here in this board when you grossly exaggerated the "persecution" of Christians in Israel. It's no worse than the persecution of Christians by unbelievers in the West.

Besides that, God knows something you don't - and that is, though probably not intended by Israeli law, it's actually better that way in Israel - because that way, the Word of God (the New Testament, which believers are allowed to hand out to people who want to read it) and the Holy Spirit do all the work, after the life and testimony of the believer in Christ has planted the seed.

That way there is no interference from man, and no trying to convert new believers to your own denominational (mis)interpretations of scripture either - which is something that you would probably do.

There is freedom of religion in Israel, and freedom to share your faith in Christ, and freedom to hand a New Testament to them IF they wanted to read it - as long as you do not attempt to convert people, i.e proselytize (which is good because it actually interferes with the work of the Word of God and the Holy Spirit), which is something you want Jewish believers in Christ to do - you have proved it by the fact that you claim that Christians are persecuted by not being allowed to proselytize (i.e not allowed to try to convert people) in Israel.

It should be a law in the West also. You may share the gospel, share why you believe, share your testimony, hand out a New Testament, but you may not try to convert those who have not been Christians for a long time to your own denominational (mis)interpretations of scripture.​

Yet Jesus blamed Jerusalem for All the righteous blood shed upon earth.

You know,it's like Jesus knows something that you haven't quite figured out yet .

Well,as long as you keep ignoring God's word ,you will never understand Jesus.

Ezekiel 9
5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:

6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.

7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.

Unlike you, I believe God's word - but you betray the fact that you do not truly believe the New Testament by the fact that you do not believe the part mentioned in bold red font which I increased in font size below:

ἱερόν hierón (hee-er-on'): [Strongs Greek Dictionary] 02411 (English: Temple):
neuter of 2413; a sacred place, i.e. the entire precincts, whereas 3485 [naós] denotes the central sanctuary itself (of the Temple in Jerusalem, or elsewhere).

"And what agreement does a temple [naós] of God have with idols? For you are the temple [naós] of the living God, as God has said, "I will dwell in them and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people." 2 Corinthians 6:16.

"Do you not know that you are a temple [naós] of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple [naós] of God, God shall destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which you are." -- 1 Corinthians 3:16-17.

"Let not anyone deceive you by any means. For the Day of Christ shall not come unless there first comes the apostasy, and the man of sin shall be revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple [naós] of God, setting himself forth, that he is God." -- 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4.

The last time that the New Testament uses the word naós (referring to the actual sanctuary in any temple) in reference to the 2nd temple in Jerusalem, is in the verses in the Gospels which tell about the tearing of the veil between that holy place / holy of holies, which occurred when Jesus died on the cross (Matthew 27:51; Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45).

After the verses talking about the tearing of the veil in the temple, the first time the word naos is used again, is in Acts:

Acts 7:48a
But, the Most High does not dwell in a temple sanctuary (Greek: naos) made with (human) hands.

God did not dwell in a temple made with human hands after Jesus died on the cross. The building destroyed in 70 AD was not the temple of God.

When Paul wrote his letters to the churches at Corinth, Ephesus and Thessaloniki, he used the word hierón in reference to the temple in Jerusalem, which at the time of Paul's writing, was still standing (1 Corinthians 9:13), but he consistently used the word naós when speaking about the bodies of individual Christians, and the congregations of Christians as the tabernacle (temple) of God (1 Corinthians 3:16-17 & 1 Corinthians 6:19; 2 Corinthians 6:16; and Ephesians 2:21-22).

Nor was the city destroyed in 70 AD the holy city.

There are no verses in the Revelation where "Babylon the Great", or the city "spiritually called Sodom and Egypt", or the cities of the nations which fell when the 7th bowl of wrath was poured out, are called "the holy city",

but the Revelation calls New Jerusalem "the holy city" three times:

Revelation 21:2; Revelation 21:10; and Revelation 22:19.

Revelation 11:2 is talking about the holy city. The temple it's talking about is called the naós.
​

It has nothing to do with things made of human hands and everything to do with what God has made in Christ.

Jesus was contrasting Babylon the Great with the holy city of the Revelation - New Jerusalem, calling Babylon the great a harlot upon whom will come the judgment of God for all the blood of saints and prophets that was ever shed. It has nothing to do with any city you call a harlot or any people you regard as an apostate flock of God.

"And what agreement does a temple [naós] of God have with idols? For you are the temple [naós] of the living God, as God has said, "I will dwell in them and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people." 2 Corinthians 6:16.

​

You are one who is deceived by your own theology and is attempting to have others with you in your delusion. But you will never fool me by your false theology just because you have been fooled. Unlike you, I believe GOD'S Word. I do not believe your word. Jews who did not believe in Jesus were broken off from a covenant relationship with God 2,000 years ago when they handed Jesus over to be killed. A woman who is not married is not biblically considered a harlot. They could no longer be considered a harlot because they had become as Gentiles. In 70 AD they were judged not for being a harlot but because they had shed the blood of saints by that time, and because they continued to make sacrifices to God that were no longer acceptable in a temple that was no longer the temple of God.

Babylon the Great of the Revelation is a harlot who is contrasted with New Jerusalem, i.e the faithful saints.

I'm glad you have recognized that my body is the temple of the holy Ghost ,but this thread is about the prostitute.

Same prostitute the prophets all spoke of.


Isaiah 1:21
See how the faithful city has become a prostitute! She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her— but now murderers!


I know you think Benjamin netanyahu is messiah and all ,but you need to realize his capital city Jerusalem is a prostitute.

I agree that Babylon is not any earthly city, but is the spiritual opposite of the New Jerusalem.

You can't trust this wolf in sheep's clothing tailgator. He believes that Paul had limited knowledge about Bible prophecy and his writings regarding Bible prophecy can't be used for doctrine. I showed him what Paul taught about the resurrection of the dead in 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 and he completely dismissed it while saying he didn't have the knowledge that Peter and John did. So, he does not think Paul was inspired by God when he wrote about Bible prophecy. Beware of this fraud.

When Paul wrote his letters to the churches at Corinth, Ephesus and Thessaloniki, he used the word hierón in reference to the temple in Jerusalem, which at the time of Paul's writing, was still standing (1 Corinthians 9:13), but he consistently used the word naós when speaking about the bodies of individual Christians, and the congregations of Christians as the tabernacle (temple) of God (1 Corinthians 3:16-17 & 1 Corinthians 6:19; 2 Corinthians 6:16; and Ephesians 2:21-22).

Nor was the city destroyed in 70 AD the holy city.

There are no verses in the Revelation where "Babylon the Great", or the city "spiritually called Sodom and Egypt", or the cities of the nations which fell when the 7th bowl of wrath was poured out, are called "the holy city",

but the Revelation calls New Jerusalem "the holy city" three times:

Revelation 21:2; Revelation 21:10; and Revelation 22:19.

Revelation 11:2 is talking about the holy city. The temple it's talking about is called the naós.
​

It has nothing to do with things made of human hands and everything to do with what God has made in Christ.

Jesus was contrasting Babylon the Great with the holy city of the Revelation - New Jerusalem, calling Babylon the great a harlot upon whom will come the judgment of God for all the blood of saints and prophets that was ever shed. It has nothing to do with any city you call a harlot or any people you regard as an apostate flock of God.

"And what agreement does a temple [naós] of God have with idols? For you are the temple [naós] of the living God, as God has said, "I will dwell in them and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people." 2 Corinthians 6:16.

"Do you not know that you are a temple [naós] of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple [naós] of God, God shall destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which you are." -- 1 Corinthians 3:16-17.

"Let not anyone deceive you by any means. For the Day of Christ shall not come unless there first comes the apostasy, and the man of sin shall be revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple [naós] of God, setting himself forth, that he is God." -- 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4.

You are one who is deceived by your own theology and is attempting to have others with you in your delusion. But you will never fool me by your false theology just because you have been fooled. Unlike you, I believe GOD'S Word. I do not believe your word. Jews who did not believe in Jesus were broken off from a covenant relationship with God 2,000 years ago when they handed Jesus over to be killed. A woman who is not married is not biblically considered a harlot. They could no longer be considered a harlot because they had become as Gentiles. In 70 AD they were judged not for being a harlot but because they had shed the blood of saints by that time, and because they continued to make sacrifices to God that were no longer acceptable in a temple that was no longer the temple of God.

Babylon the Great of the Revelation is a harlot who is contrasted with New Jerusalem, i.e the faithful saints.

The opposite of heavenly Jerusalem is earthy Jerusalem.
Anyone who has read Paul's letters would have known that.Babylon pertains to them under the law and are in bondage(captivity) and answereth to Jerusalem.

Galatians 4

21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?

22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.

24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.

25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.

28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.

31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.






Israel has gone into captivity in Babylon.
