The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Israel being cut off

I didn't mean to imply I read all of Hendrickson, I don't think I could stomach that. I just meant you gave a summary, and I could look further. I'm not saying there will be a Theocracy, you are misunderstanding my point, they will still be part of the church body, but they will have the preeminent place at the end of this age.

You mentioned that it is my "observation" about what I believe about the church, but to not recognize how dead it is becoming is spiritual blindness, the church is slowly fading as a force in the world. Yes, there is a remnant, but it isn't to be found in most modern day "churches". I honestly can't tell if someone is saved or not because their lives are not much different than the world's. I believe the church today takes too much liberty substituting Israel with the church when reading scripture. God still speaks to both separately, His work with the nation not yet finished. I want to spend more time looking through the prophecies directed to the "nation" of Israel, but from what I have been reading so far, I believe we err to believe that Israel is GONE, gone and shall be gone as you say. I believe we are in for a big surprise, but isn't that how our Great God works? I didn't read your link, must run, but I'll check back.
