There is a Jewish gal, Abby Beim, there who is always trying to undermine the Christian faith. I am not good at debating and do not have all of the answers. Is anyone here able to answer her question....now she is discussing Zech. 8:23 and is very antagonistic to our faith. Anyone able to help at that site? Her question and discussion(s) are located under Bible Study....Names of God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though He has punished Zion for her sins (Zech 8:2), yet He still loves her; and therefore He is "jealous for her with great jealousy," and is indignant against her adversaries. The time accordingly shall yet come when Jerusalem shall be no longer unfaithful to her God, but "shall be called, A city of truth" (Zech 8:3). (2) Not until God is returned unto" His people do they truly return unto Him (Zech 8:3). He must first turn us unto Himself, so shall we be turned (Jer 31:18-19; Lam 5:21). (3) The consequence of God's return to His people, and of His "dwelling in the midst of" them (Zech 8:3), shall be, they shall enjoy every national, social, and personal blessing (Zech 8:4-5). When God, in accordance with His everlasting covenant of grace, shall have taken away His people's sin, He will take away all their sorrows and sufferings forever. --Copyright © 1997 by Biblesoft) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
