Hi n2thelight,

That is God`s responsibility and not man`s to sort out `who`s who.` Our concern is to build up the Body of Christ till it comes to the maturity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God. (Eph. 4: 13)

Marilyn.

So does Israel belong to the body of Christ?

Question about the below verse

Mark 13:13 "And ye shall be hated of all men for My name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

When is the end?

How can one endure till the end if not here?

Hi n2thelight,

God`s word tells us that Israel and the Body of Christ are two distinct purposes of God.

Israel for an earthly inheritance

The Body of Christ for a heavenly inheritance.

Hi n2thelight,

Jesus is speaking to the people of Israel and referring to the `end` of the times of the Gentiles ruling the world, then Israel will rule the world as promised.

Can you provide scripture for that?

In light of the below verse,what makes you think Christ was talking only to Jew's?

Mark 13:37 "And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch."

Also this chapter of Mark has all the seals from Revelations,so my next question is,who was that book written?

Hi n2thelight,

Yes I thought I should have given scriptures -

God`s word tells us that Israel and the Body of Christ are two distinct purposes of God.

Israel for an earthly inheritance. (2 Sam. 7: 16   Ez. 17: 22 - 24)

The Body of Christ for a heavenly inheritance. (Rev. 3: 21)

Hi n2thelight,

Jesus was talking to the people of Israel concerning their future. We can read it and learn of their future and what will happen at that time, BUT it is not about US. And yes there are parts that are in Revelation also. However that is the time of the Lord Jesus being given the executive authority by the Father to rule in the midst of His enemies. (Ps. 110: 2) We, the overcomers, the Body of Christ will be ruling with the Lord at that time, judging fallen angels and the world system. (Rev. 3: 21  &  1 Cor. 6: 2 & 3)

Marilyn,

II Samuel 7:16 "And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.' ' ' "

Ezekiel 17:22 "Thus saith the Lord God; 'I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent:"

 

Ezekiel 17:23 "In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell."

 

Ezekiel 17:24 "And all the trees of the field shall know that I the Lord have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the Lord have spoken and have done it."

 

Revelation 3:21 "To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne."

Christ throne will be here on earth as per the below verse

Revelation 11:15 "And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of Our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever."

This is when His(Christ)feet touches the ground..The Day of the Lord

Zechariah 14:4 "And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south."

The 7th and last trump starts the millennium,which is the Day of the Lord

Can you give me verses that show people in heaven during the millennium?

 

As for Samuel and Ezekiel can you do a commentary as I can't see your point with those

Thx

How close was the rapture after Christ went back to heaven?
