This is the problem, the bible is not to be taken literally, not as you suggest. The bible is a riddle, riddles within riddles. This I have proof from God's own mouth.

OK. I'm not arguing with you for the sake of arguing. I post what I post for the sake of others. Nor am I 'promoting' anything other than what the Word says.

Surely you've heard of the 'dark ages'? Who had your NT for the first 1300 years?

Again, I reject theologies and doctrines. I study what the Word says.

No, it's not. The Jews keep the same, nearly the same, customs today that they did 4000 years ago. Apparently you hate the Jews? Otherwise you would study from them.

I should not even dignify your accusation with a response. I am not a member of any cult. I study the same bible you do. I spent more than 30 years in the 'church', there is nothing you will throw at me that I'm not aware of.

Nor was I referring to it. Who is the writer addressing?

Revelation 19:6-9English Standard Version (ESV) The Marriage Supper of the Lamb 6 Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. 7 Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; 8 it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure”— for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. 9 And the angel said[a] to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.” The marriage supper, or Marriage Feast, is the last event in a Hebrew wedding. When and where were the nuptials exchanged? Bear in mind that a Hebrew wedding last 7 days. The Marriage Feast is the last event, takes place evening of the 6th day.

No, the bible does not make that clear. The AC exists, has existed. The Mark has existed from the beginning of time.

Acts 3 17 “And now, brothers, I know that oyou acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18 But what God pforetold qby the mouth of all the prophets, that rhis Christ would ssuffer, he thus fulfilled. 19 tRepent therefore, and uturn back, that vyour sins may be blotted out, 20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ wappointed for you, Jesus, 21 xwhom heaven must receive until the time for yrestoring all the things about which zGod spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago. 22 Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you aa prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen bto him in whatever he tells you. 23 And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet cshall be destroyed from the people.’ 24 And dall the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also proclaimed these days. 25 eYou are the sons of the prophets and of fthe covenant that God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, g‘And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.’ 26 hGod, ihaving raised up his servant, sent him to you first, jto bless you kby turning every one of you from your wickedness.” Read carefully, all things the prophets spoke of will be restored. Read vs 25........saying YOU are the sons.........

No, there will be no third temple that God will recognize. Not an actual building.

Luke 1:32–33 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” Jacob is Israel.

Revelation 11:2 But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months. John is told to measure the Temple (God's people) but to exclude, do not measure, the gentile (others, other nations).

Revelation 21:12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. Gates are where the people are Judged, where Judgement is rendered. The gates also guard the Kingdom. Where is the 13th gate for the gentile?

I will suggest something else to you. All that is spoken of here is also found in the NT. It depends on what color glasses you wear as to whether or not you will see it. Israel is in the NT, but you have been taught otherwise by the church, from the day you arrived at church. Rather than handing you a pair of reading glasses, they handed you blinders so you cannot see. It's there, Israel is there.

This is the great mystery that Paul spoke of. Those with eyes to see and ears to hear...........Israelites. As is was then, it is now. I can show you some things.......proof......but it's a long long path. Read the bible from beginning to end, you will see.

"Doctrines" are of men, I reject all doctrines. I had not heard of any such teaching at the time that I discovered my own identity by reading the entire Word. The covenant made with Abraham, sands and stars, the innumerable. Somehow, people believe that the Israelite died, became extinct, and that somehow Christians crawled out of the waters as amoeba and began and entire new race of human. It's a serious question, where do you think you came from? You base your religion on the foundation of the Jewish people and then you reject your foundation.......this is confounding to me. Either God lied, or you have a biblical problem. Further, throughout all of the Tanakh, God promises to regather his people, Israel. This has yet to happen. Did your God lie?

Wow! There are not many of us.....who SEE! Yes, the Western nations, traditionally Christian nations, are the scattered Israelites. Yes, and Judah.........Judah has kept the Torah, not blameless by any means, but, they have done their part. The Nation State, that is another matter. Glad to see you get it. Very encouraging to me.

Yes, that is the point, we are all guilty. Satan stands before the Throne of Yahovah and accuses you day and night- Revelation 12:10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. Upon your Judgement, Satan is your accuser, admit your guilt and throw yourself upon the mercy of Messiah. Zechariah 3:1 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. Luke 22:31 Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat. 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

That's right, and FEW will be saved, and many will perish. The first generation (first born) led out of Egypt were not saved, will not receive salvation. Some are cursed. Some have chosen their demise. If that is your point? that God is not fair? No, he's not, not by man's judgment, God is Just.

Proverbs 21:3 To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. I believe it's a combination.

I'm a conceptual thinker, once I get the concept, I can research from there. My wife takes notes, I do not. Bible comes from the word biblia, meaning books or small books. If you like you can look up the history of biblia on your own.......paganry, filled with it. It's just a book, nothing more, nothing 'holy' about the book. My phone and desktop are my bibles.........all the information I can take in at my finger tips.

No, I'm waiting for the Messiah to return. Not every commandment is for everyone.....man has complicated that, made it a problem it did not have to be. I keep the Sabbaths, Feasts, and do the best I can with have I have to live a righteous life. I keep it simple.

Moses was the 'friend of the bridegroom'. Something you'll have to study, and it gets graphic, don't know what will be allowed here....? John takes the place of Moses in the NT.......John 3:29 John 3:29Jubilee Bible 2000 (JUB) 29 He that has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice; this my joy therefore is fulfilled. Don't really know what you are asking......I interpret nothing........I dig. Edit.......bold.......study that.

And round and round we go....... Here is the bottom line for me......what Yahovah says- Jeremiah 31:31 "Behold, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, Jeremiah 31:33 "But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the LORD, "I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Hebrews 8:10 This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds, and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people. Hebrews 10:16 "This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, says the Lord. I will put My Laws in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds."
