What is the Role of the Land of Israel in Eschatology?

- The people of Israel could keep the land if they were loyal to the covenant. But we know by the Exile that they lost the land. The big eschatological question is whether the promises are still in place, and that is crucial to interpreting correctly the New Testament when it comes to eschatology. Check this out!
I miss this wonderful man of God
Amen, but boy am I so grateful for the amount of work that he put in before the Lord took him home. We have so much amazing content 🙏
I’m so grateful for this channel to keep sharing it out❤️🔔
I just said that , but he’s with the lord . Better off than we are stuck for now .
same here brother!
To all these men of God who live in mansions and drive Bentleys: this is a man who spent his entire life trying to truly understand the Word and applying what's said. I think Yahweh will crown him alongside all who devoted that much discipline into getting the story correct. I love him.
The Divine Council worldview opens up the intended understanding of the scriptures. We can all praise God for Dr. Michael Heiser and the work he did to reestablish this very important biblical theme🔔❤️✔️
Amen! 🙏🏼🙏🏼👊🏼
Yesss
Absolutely!. Hey Mike is doing great right now and he has no more questions!. ❤
Amen!
im still disecting all his books and videos till this day. .. and I enjoy every bit!
THANKS FOR YOU VIDEOS TOO!!!👍🏽😎🙏🏼 KEEP THEM COMING
I miss him a lot…heck I got all choked up when he died…and I didn’t even know him in person but I listened constsntly
Dr. Heiser was an extremely talented scholar as well as a marvelous teacher.
Excellent teacher. He frames the issues and challenges his students to make up their own mind. Looking forward to meeting you Brother.
Paul’s journeys got recorded more than the rest, and got into the canon. Many of the other apostles went to Gentile lands to spread the gospel. As I watched each disciple on Chosen, I researched where they eventually went. Just imagine the difficulties of Thomas getting to India and spending years there, or Jude and Thaddeus in Mesopotamia, Armenia and Parthia. They must have given up a lot, please don’t forget them.
The main thing is GOD ALMIGHTY did not forget them
No wonder he stays out of eschatology. But he does a good job of delineating what the choices are.
If Abraham had things he had to do to keep the covenant why did he not pass through the split animals as the seal of the covenant? Only God went through because He can’t fail and He won’t let Abraham go through because he could fail.
All Covenants with YHWH are conditional: Obedience to Him is absolutely necessary.
Part 1/2 I see how Dr. Heiser walked a fine line but the reality is that only 1 is true and the other is false and to know the truth all we need to do is look at reality. Short answer Yes, the covenant is in place.
The covenant was never about the Jews but GOD. GOD owns the land, always has, always will.
Genesis 15:18 On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants, I have given this land,..." (Ownership)
Leviticus 25:1-2 And the Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land which I give you,..." (Ownership)
Verse 23 ‘The land shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with Me." ("The land is Mine"- Ownership) The word "Sojourners" means guest, visitor, someone who has no claim of ownership.
2 Chronicles 6:5-6 5 ‘Since the day that I brought My people out of the land of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house, that My name might be there, nor did I choose any man to be a ruler over My people Israel. 6 Yet I have chosen Jerusalem, that My name may be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’ (My Name may be there"- Ownership)
Joel 3:1-2 “For behold, in those days and at that time, When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land. ("My Land"- Ownership)
The question as Christians we need to ask ourselves isn't whether we agree with all of Israel's decisions or not. We need to ask "When did the LORD relinquish His claim of ownership over the Land of Israel and the City of Jerusalem?" Answer: NEVER. The second question is why after 1800+ years has the LORD (Owner of the land and Jerusalem) allowed the Jewish people back into the Land? Simple, He said He would. Ezekiel 37:21-23 21 When the LORD GOD speaks being an eternal GOD knowing the end from the beginning words like never again, anymore carry eternal weight. Here the LORD says "I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land;" (in progress) "...they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again." Clearly we see the land is still divided but the LORD says one day it won't be, and at that time the unification will be forever. This means that the LORD still has a plan for the land, the Jews and the nation of Israel. The LORD also says "They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols...but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God." This also has not happened yet.
Yes the LORD plucked them out of the Land but He also then sent them into the Gentile world to alter history, to show the rest of the world the GOD of Israel.
Once we have come to the fullness of the Gentiles, then ALL Israel will be saved. Romans 11:25-27.
Daniel 9:24 tells us that one day the Jews and Jerusalem will anoint Jesus as the Most Holy. This will happen at the end of the 70 weeks.
We see GOD say in Ezekiel 37:20-23 that He will gather the Jews back to the land and unite them so that they will never again be a divided kingdom. Is the kingdom divided now? Yes. So this prophecy hasn't been fulfilled. Same with Jeremiah 24:3-8. Either GOD is a liar or He will fulfill His Word.
One of the biggest mistakes Christians make today is that they place Matthew 24 in 70AD. Mark 13 which is a parallel passage to Matthew 24 debunks that idea.
See in Mark 11 Jesus curses the Fig Tree and it dies, 30+ times in the OT the term Fig Tree of Fig is used in relation to the Jewish people and the Promised Land.
Deuteronomy 8:7-8 7 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; 8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey;
Hosea 9:10a “I found Israel Like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers As the firstfruits on the fig tree in its first season.
So when Jesus cursed the Fig Tree and it died it was the same as if Jesus was in America with Americans and He cursed an eagle and it fell out of the sky and died.
Not a good thing for America, well this was not a good thing for Israel. It warned them that now Jeremiah 8:13 was coming.
“I will surely consume them,” says the Lord. “No grapes shall be on the vine, Nor figs on the fig tree, And the leaf shall fade;
And the things I have given them shall pass away from them.” ’ ”
The LORD was going to take every blessing from them. The Temple, Jerusalem, the Land, even the name "Israel' was taken. By 135 AD the prophecy was fulfilled.
But in Mark 13 Jesus says in connection with His return
28 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 So you also, when you see these things happening, know that He is near-at the doors! 30 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
This is the OPPOSITE of 70AD. GOD still owns the Land of Israel and the City of Jerusalem (Leviticus 25:23, Joel 3:1-2, 2 Chronicles 6:5-6.) And He has allowed the Jewish people back into the Land and City, His Land and City. Now do they believe in Jesus yet? No. And they won't as a whole until the time of the Gentiles is over. But they will. They are blinded for our benefit for a time, but that time is coming to an end soon.
They don't accept Jesus now because when they do Jesus will return and they will anoint Him as the Most Holy. That is the promise.
So be gracious they don't reject Jesus out of hate, they reject Him because they have been blinded to the true identity of the Messiah for a time. And they will receive another as the Messiah. John 5:43. They will receive and anoint the false Messiah aka the Antichrist who will be a Pharisee and a king. He will know the law very well. And through that they will see that the Law will never save them. Their Messiah is a liar and they will come to Jesus. Share the Gospel of course but know there is a greater plan at work here.
The fascinating aspect is that GOD allowed the Jewish people back into the land and Jerusalem exactly when He said He would.
How do we know? The framework of the Bible?

@@P.H.888 so are you saying or implying that Gods promises are no longer valid? That since Jesus now reigns that the promises made in the OT are negated? Please expand on your comment as I’m not sure what you mean if you can I’d like some clarification. Thanks.
@@RustyMadd Ok First God's promises aren't conditional on our fruit.
So by looking at their fruit whatever that means to you, removes the fact that GOD said
Ezekiel 37:21 “Then say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; 22 and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again.
(is the land still divided? Yes BUT the LORD says "nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again." So if this hasn't happened yet, we have to trust the LORD will do as He says).
23 They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God.
Clearly, the LORD says that He will change them from worshipping idols, etc to them being His people.
Jeremiah 24:3-8 says something similar.
Jesus in Mark 11 and 13 addresses this
To me, it's sad that so many Christians especially after OCT 7 can't figure this out.
Satan doesn't care if the Jews are following GOD or not He wants to destroy them.
This is a biblical theme all throughout Scripture.
Israel isn't about what the Jews do. Israel is about GOD. GOD's promises, GOD's land, GOD's city Jerusalem.
Joel 3:1-2
“For behold, in those days and at that time,
When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem,
2
I will also gather all nations,
And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
And I will enter into judgment with them there
On account of My people, My heritage Israel,
Whom they have scattered among the nations;
They have also divided up My land.
Leviticus 25:23
23 ‘The land shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are strangers and sojourners (Guests) with Me.
2 Chronicles 6:5-6
5 ‘Since the day that I brought My people out of the land of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house, that My name might be there, nor did I choose any man to be a ruler over My people Israel. 6 Yet I have chosen Jerusalem, that My name may be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
Zechariah 14 Jesus returns to stand on the Mount of Olives.
Like I said it boggles my mind how so many Christians look at people instead of looking at the LORD. The LORD doesn't make a promise and then get tripped up because of us. If He says it, it will be done.
The reason the Jews (as a whole) won't accept Jesus is because that's GOD's Will right now.
Daniel 9:24
“Seventy weeks are determined
For your people and for your holy city, (Daniel's people are the Jews and his Holy city is Jerusalem)
To finish the transgression, To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity,
To bring in everlasting righteousness,
(These things can ONLY be done through Jesus)
To seal up vision and prophecy,
And to anoint the Most Holy.
(When they; the Jews and Jerusalem anoint Jesus as the Most Holy the prophecy will be complete.)
Romans 11:
25 For I do not desire, brethren (Christian), that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion (arrogant: In other words don't be arrogant in your ignorance as it pertains to Israel)
, that blindness in part has happened to Israel UNTIL the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:
“The Deliverer will come out of Zion,
And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
27 For this is My covenant with them,
When I take away their sins.”
We are still in the time of the Gentiles. We know this because Israel isn't the world superpower yet. Soon Israel being guarded by the LORD will become the world's superpower.
Ezekiel 38:18 “And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord God, “that My fury will show in My face. 19 For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: ‘Surely in that day there shall be a great [e]earthquake in the land of Israel, 20 so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.’ 21 I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord God. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22 And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’
A parallel passage is Revelation 6:12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
I hope this helps. Take care.

Obviously, and you know this well, the modern state of Israel has not done this, they have not met these conditions by a long shot. Maybe in 500 years or so that will happen, only God knows. But this modern state of 'Israel' is not a fulfillment of past promises.
I got to know more about this man very late. I think few weeks before his death. I’ve gone through some of his contents and they were great

Galatians 3:7-9
[7] Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. [8] And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” [9] So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. (ESV)
We are in the kingdom now., but not yet. The new Jerusalem comes down from heaven, "on earth as it is in heaven..."
Assuming the covenant is intact, who are the ancient Israelites today? Definitely not the Turks in control of Jerusalem and tel Aviv
yea, nor the ukranian ashkenazis claiming to be the descendants of abe
Part 2/2 Genesis says GOD worked 6 days and rested for 1 = 7 days = 1 week.
We see this theme of working 6 days rest for 1 multiple times in the first 5 books.
In Genesis 2: it says
15 Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Now we know Adam ate. So did he die in the subsequent 24 hours? No.
Genesis 5:5 So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died. (930 years old)
So is GOD a liar? No. It's a clue. Genesis 3 the punishment for the sin. 17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’: “Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life...19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.”
The curse was that we would toil and work the earth by the sweat of our brow, and we would be mortals who died. Exodus 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
Adam lived 930 years which is just less than 1000 years. Psalm 90:For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night.
2 Peter 3: 8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
This isn't an allegory it's a cipher a ratio to understand Scripture. 1 heavenly day = 1000 earthly years. So Adam died in the "day" year 1-1000 he was created (year 930). year 1000 end of Day 1. Abraham year 2000 from Creation (end of Day 2). David year 3000 from Creation (end of Day 3). There is some debate about whether Jesus's crucifixion (32AD) or the destruction of the Temple (70AD) was the year 4000 but we are now 2000 years later (approx) so we are approaching the year 6000 (2032-2070AD).
So if 2032 AD is the year 6000 then that is the first milestone I would look for.
6 days or 6000 years we will be mortal. Then Jesus will return and in the 7th millennium, we will be immortal. 1 Corinthians 15:50-57.
Barnabas, AD First Century “Therefore, children, in six days, or in six thousand years, all the prophecies will be fulfilled. Then it says, ‘He rested on the seventh day.’ This signifies at the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus, He will destroy the Antichrist, judge the ungodly, and change the sun, moon, and stars. Then He will truly rest during the Millennial reign, which is the seventh day.” Epistle of Barnabas 15:7-9
Irenaeus 180 AD For in as many days as this world was made, in so many thousand years shall it be concluded. And for this reason the Scripture says: "Thus the heaven and the earth were finished, and all their adornment. And God brought to a conclusion upon the sixth day the works that He had made; and God rested upon the seventh day from all His works."(6) This is an account of the things formerly created, as also it is a prophecy of what is to come. For the day of the Lord is as a thousand years;(7) and in six days created things were completed: it is evident, therefore, that they will come to an end at the sixth thousand year. Against Heresies 5:28
Commodianus, AD 240 “We will be immortal when the six thousand years are completed.” Against the Gods of the Heathens 35 “Resurrection of the body will be when six thousand years are completed, and after the one thousand years, the world will come to an end.” Against the Gods of the Heathens 80
Methodius, AD 290 “In the seventh millennium we will be immortal and truly celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.” Ten Virgins 9.1
Victorinus, AD 240 “Satan will be bound until the thousand years are finished; that is, after the sixth day.” Commentary on Revelation 20.1-3
Justin Martyr (100-165AD) “There will be a literal one-thousand-year reign of Christ.” Justin Martyr, Dialogue 81
So if 2032 AD is the year 6000 (Some say it's 2070-2075 based on the Destruction of the Temple/Jerusalem being the year 4000.
We see that the LORD has allowed the Jews into Israel and Jerusalem exactly when He said He would at the end of the age. The end of the age of mankind's dominion. I hope this helps.

Is this the same tribe, though? Or just someone who claimed the name?
@@affable8696Stop. It isn’t about genealogy. It is about walking out the covenant. Christians claim a name but are they actually keeping the terms of the covenant?
@@BonnieBlue2A There's evidence of Renaissance-era merchants beginning to call themselves Jews, incl. changing their names. They'd gain opportunities for themselves, while anger for unethical things they'd do could be directed at Jewish people. That's why there's some interest in genealogies, to figure out who is who.
Biblically, though, the problem is sin, not ethnicity -- especially for us in the Church age. Even during the old covenant, though, a person from any ethnicity could join God's people. It wasn't them, but their ways (sinful behavior), that were forbidden. "Sin, not skin", was and is the problem.
But the best groups do seem to be targets of the most infiltration. Paul mentions "false brothers secretly brought in -- who slipped in to spy out our freedom... so they they might bring us into slavery".
Awesome 😎
Folks, the New Testament interprets the Old, not vice-versa. In light of what Michael just said please read the book of Hebrews. It explains exactly how we are to interpret the Land. It's really not as complicated as it seems. Abraham did not ultimately view the physical land of Israel as fulfilment of God's promise. It was a symbol of a greater fulfilment yet to come (Heb 11.9-10) for all his offspring (those who live by faith in Yahweh).
This is very interesting
@@lator1941 Yes. And then folks need to go to Galatians 3 and read it over & over until they understand who the offspring of Abraham (aka "Israel") is. It's always been those who live by faith in Yahweh. Now, with the coming of Jesus a true Israelite is one (Jew or Gentile) who lives by faith in Messiah. It's plain as day what Paul is saying.
@@TroyStevens430there still is a difference between Abraham's Offspring and Israel - which is part but has the law ( no aka "Israel"). Because Romans 11 would not make sense ( grace is for those unrepentant Israel too, blindness of Israel... And Salvation of Israel as for Gentiles)
@@rcormonutube No, you need to study all of Romans where Paul explains that there's in essence 2 Israel's... one according to the flesh & one according to the Spirit. "Not all who are descended from Israel are of Israel." (Rom 9.6) Romans 11 makes perfect sense when you understand this key fact.
@@TroyStevens430 negative Sir ... No mention of "spiritual" israel at all in romans 9.6 .( romans 9.27 answers who Paul is referring as Israel - subset of the Israel flesh.)
Actually Romans 9 explains who is Israel for God by grace , and remarks the Goyims free benefit of the required rightheousness , by faith alone -Romans 9.30
Then in Romans 11 Paul explains the plan of God regarding Israel by pure grace ( blindness until the Gentils dispensation is full Romans11.25) , while remarks that thanks to the Jews , the Gentils received grace ( " the gifts and call from God are for those in disobedience " - irrevocable according to KJV). Finally both Israel coming from Israel and Gentiles are saved by mercy of God (not works).Definitely 2 groups . Gentils Goyims and Israel. Romans 11.31.
How clear can it be.
Paul found the temple first then the jail.
Simple and to the point.
4:30 No, YHWH did not abandon Israel. Israel abandoned their part of the covenant. Replacement theology (Dispensationalism) is a lie from the adversary (Ha’Satan).
Isaiah 56:6-8 (NKJV)
“Also the sons of the foreigner Who join themselves to the LORD, to serve Him, And to love the name of the LORD, to be His servants- Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, And holds fast My covenant-
7 Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices Will be accepted on My altar; For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.”
8 The Lord GOD, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, “Yet I will gather to him Others besides those who are gathered to him.”

Neither Jew nor Greek, the old Covenant is obsolete.
Hebrews 8:13
In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
Since we’re in Hebrews what does Hebrews 8:8 say?

@@christianfrommuslim I didn’t ask that. I asked WHO does Hebrews 8:8 say it he New Covenant is for??
I too agree that the New covenant was made with the Jewish people ( house of Israel and house of Judah).
Romans 11 speaks of how we were grafted into that covenant. Doesn't "grafted in" mean that we are not the original branches?

They got scattered because, when the masiah came back, they still did not believe. It carries on until today. Because they still do not believe.
The messiah brought them back by the hand of the Christian nations. His covenant with them was a blood covenant. It's unbreakable.
Some do and more are starting to believe. But they're doing what they've always done and getting full of themselves, thinking because God brought them back home that they don't have to follow the rules.
They're repeating their history again, God brings them back and they're faithful for a bit before misbehaving again. Nothing new honestly, except that some are believing
@@a1990sGamerIt's one thing that you place yourself in God's place and judge the conduct of my people. But you don't even know our history. You don't even know who is religious in Israel and who isn't, who has faith and who doesn't. Instead of knowledge, you make up your own history of the state of Israel, and judge us by it. Who do you think you are? Mind your own business, examine your own conduct before you go to meet the God of Israel.
@iambored2006 it is clear to me from many years of Bible study that God is going to save all of the remnant of Jews when Jesus returns, and the land will be theirs. But I fear many Jews and Gentiles will have passed away by then, and died in their sins.
Derek Prince made this point in some of his sermons: Whenever Paul says that he doesn't want us to be ignorant of something, we're usually ignorant of that very thing. If we believe the Scriptures, we believe these verses:
Romans 11:25-31
25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:
“The Deliverer will come out of Zion,
And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
27 For this is My covenant with them,
When I take away their sins.”
28 Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience, 31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy.
I recommend you the Joel Richardson's book "When a jew rules the world". He explain the covenents God made with Abraham, Moses, David and the new covenent.
In the opening he Said Paul saw himself as a key instrument to “RECLAIM” the nations. The word “RECLAIM” is similar to the word “RECONCILE” found in Romans 11. Both rely on a both sides having had a former relationship. You can reclaim or reconcile to someone you never knew or never had a relationship to. The most high or Christ never had a relationship with the heathen nations. Dr Heisner himself has taught what we HEBREW ISRAELITES have been saying for years. That is only the god of Israel. He taught that through Deuteronomy 32:8-9. Where we see god assigning other deities from his heavenly council to be the gods of the other nations. Saying that “his portion is Israel l, Jacob the lot of his inheritance”. There’s multiple scriptures further on in scripture reaffirming that. Therefore we know that the nations Paul was to ”reclaim”or “reconcile” to god could only be Israelites. Not heathens whom he said he never knew or dealt with.
The good old Dr forgot something huh
Genesis 12:3 says, "I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed".
Now the question is did they bless Israel. The answer is hell no.
Psalm 83:2-5
King James Version
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

We all got a nudge toward a biblical view that had been almost forgotten. I'm grateful for Michael for that. But, don't forget that we have the amazing word of God readily available at our fingertips. That is something we NEVER want to take for granted.

Does covenant theology and dispentionalist theology, affect salvation?
Yes and no. False teaching is meant to deceive people and draw them away from God yet Scripture tells us that people are deceived because they hate the Truth.
Yes. Dispensationalist theology is another gospel. Covenant theology disgraces grace…
@@Narrowminded1440 Another Gospel? I know some of the most popular and hardened Covenant Theology adherents and they would never make such a comment! You might want to visit someone (of established reputation) who can explain to you this particular theology and see if the dots can be connected to those things that are salvific in nature. Have them also explain to you what The Gospel of Jesus Christ is too while they are at it.
@@ronwilliams329Dispensationalism is a completely different sotierology. A separate plan of salvation for national Israel, another for the “church”…..hence, it’s another gospel.
You may want to pray, study and seek wisdom from above, not from seminary trained hirelings.
THIS is the Gospel friend-
Romans 3:21-26 (NKJV): 21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Who thought he will give an answer to this?
Israel is central to God’s plan and per Romans 11 ends up with the remnant at that time coming back to their God and acknowledging their Messiah (Zec 12:10).
Excellent refutation of the covenant/reform/replacionisistic/supersessionist position. The Jews have not been spurred by God, YHVH will return to them, and in the end, all Israel will be saved, as Paul states in Romans 11:25-26.
The Synagogue and the jail!
Oh Paul our dear departed brother.
Matthew 23:37-38 KJV
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! [38] Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
Dispensationalism of Jesuit Francisco Ribera 1590 is not of Christ but of the Antichrist the Papacy to counter the Protestant Reformation of Christ Rev 12:6,14 in the dark ages 538AD-1798AD Rev 13:1-10 anti-christ the Papacy received the deadly wound by Napoleon general Berthier, Rev 13:10. Apostate Protestant America, secret rapture false prophets Rev 13:11,12 is making its way in darkness to heal deadly wound! God is calling His people out of Babylon Rev 18:4.

But their behaviour leaves much to be desired.
@@johnrockwell5834 it fits the bible though... spanked and scattered, forgiven and .gathered back into the land they were promised.
Isaiah 54:7 KJV - For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.
Jeremiah 23:3 KJV - And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
Ezekiel 11:17 KJV - Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
@@johnrockwell5834 Actually, this is ALL foretold. Once we have come to the fullness of the Gentiles, then ALL Israel will be saved. Romans 11:25-27.
Daniel 9:24 tells us that one day the Jews and Jerusalem will anoint Jesus as the Most Holy. This will happen at the end of the 70 weeks.
We see GOD say in Ezekiel 37:20-23 that He will gather the Jews back to the land and unite them so that they will never again be a divided kingdom. Is the kingdom divided now? Yes. So this prophecy hasn't been fulfilled. Same with Jeremiah 24:3-8. Either GOD is a liar or He will fulfill His Word.
One of the biggest mistakes Christians make today is that they place Matthew 24 in 70AD. Mark 13 which is a parallel passage to Matthew 24 debunks that idea.
See in Mark 11 Jesus curses the Fig Tree and it dies, 30+ times in the OT the term Fig Tree of Fig is used in relation to the Jewish people and the Promised Land.
Deuteronomy 8:7-8 7 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; 8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey;
Hosea 9:10a “I found Israel Like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers As the firstfruits on the fig tree in its first season.
So when Jesus cursed the Fig Tree and it died it was the same as if Jesus was in America with Americans and He cursed an eagle and it fell out of the sky and died.
Not a good thing for America, well this was not a good thing for Israel. It warned them that now Jeremiah 8:13 was coming.
“I will surely consume them,” says the Lord. “No grapes shall be on the vine, Nor figs on the fig tree, And the leaf shall fade;
And the things I have given them shall pass away from them.” ’ ”
The LORD was going to take every blessing from them. The Temple, Jerusalem, the Land, even the name "Israel' was taken. By 135 AD the prophecy was fulfilled.
But in Mark 13 Jesus says in connection with His return
28 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 So you also, when you see these things happening, know that He is near-at the doors! 30 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
This is the OPPOSITE of 70AD. GOD still owns the Land of Israel and the City of Jerusalem (Leviticus 25:23, Joel 3:1-2, 2 Chronicles 6:5-6.) And He has allowed the Jewish people back into the Land and City, His Land and City. Now do they believe in Jesus yet? No. And they won't as a whole until the time of the Gentiles is over. But they will. They are blinded for our benefit for a time, but that time is coming to an end soon.
They don't accept Jesus now because when they do Jesus will return and they will anoint Him as the Most Holy. That is the promise.
So be gracious they don't reject Jesus out of hate, they reject Him because they have been blinded to the true identity of the Messiah for a time. And they will receive another as the Messiah. John 5:43. They will receive and anoint the false Messiah aka the Antichrist who will be a Pharisee and a king. He will know the law very well. And through that they will see that the Law will never save them. Their Messiah is a liar and they will come to Jesus. Share the Gospel of course but know there is a greater plan at work here. I hope this helps. Take care.

That is absolutely disgusting…”Paul looked at himself as the key instrument to reclaim the nations.”
Seriously? He literally just replaced Jesus and His sacrifice with Paul? Paul saw Jesus as the key instrument to reclaim the nations, not himself. The reality is the Jews were God’s Chosen people to be the conduit that brought Jesus into the physical world and as a people, to model what a relationship with God looks like. That’s it. Nothing more, nothing less. The Jews were not scattered around the world to spread the Gospel, they were scattered as punishment for not seeking God and for rejecting His Son. The ultimate blessing that God promised Israel was not a strip of land in the Middle East on a planet that God said will pass away. The blessing God promised Israel was Jesus Christ who would justify us before God so that we can pursue a relationship with Him.
Every passage he listed was the core of the Gospel and had nothing to do with eschatology or the role a patch of land has in that eschatology.
Turn from yourself and your own little universe (as Abram did) and seek God (as Abram did) and you will be blessed with an eternity to know Him (as Abraham did).
Being blameless isn’t about being sinless or perfect, it is about seeking to know God. Only God is Righteous so the closest we will ever come to Righteousness is to know Him. God wasn’t telling Abraham to be perfect, He was telling him to seek Him.
People! Quit reading more into it than that!
The church has it's own anvil of sins it drags around. God has not abandoned the church either.
@@RustyMadd The body of believers, but if you think your particular church has never sinned or done anything where they need God's grace and forgiveness, then you're just embodying the arrogant gentile described in Romans 11.
Rusty is right, some big name pastors are asked what their views are on homosexuality etc, and the answer was: I stay in my lane, another pastor who was asked this question said he has evolved and is evolving, the Roman catholic church has given their blessing to same sex marriage.
One mega church is not even preaching the message of sin, and turning away from it, but preaches "feel good" messages.
It's disappointing and disturbing that leaders don't stand for God and His Holy Word. Now I'm not saying every church and every pastor is doing that. But it's definitely happening in some mega churches.
I love Heiser's work, but to stop at Leviticus 26--as if Deuteronomy 30 and the latter prophets don't exist--is perplexing.
Maps inspired by religious books and historical books and projecting them onto specific lands and countries is a wrong projection. The simplest example is the country known today as Iraq. It is not the historical country of Mesopotamia in the first place. There is no Babylon or Assyria in this land, and also there is no such thing as the Sumerians. This is a term introduced by an American writer at the beginning of the 20th century. There is no such name in the first place. As well as the rest of the designations and maps, the country known as the Republic of Egypt is not the historical Egypt mentioned in the Bible, and the country known as Saudi Arabia is not the country of the land of the Arabs, and a country like Lebanon is not the country of Laban, the name taken from the Bible, and the country known today as Palestine is not Palestine and is not the Holy Lands. . The country known as Iran is not Persia at all, and so on
Now, the billion-dollar question is: Where did all these historical events and stories mentioned in the books take place and where are the Holy Lands located? Whoever provides me with this number, I will tell him in detail and with evidence

As much as I enjoy Heiser, she is very wimpy by not stating which stand he takes, and why. As though he is a referee that has no say nor an opinion. That can hardly be a good trait as a disciple. If he thinks he knows, then he would have more credibility. If he stated it. Then he would have to suffer the backlash of the people that disagreed with his stand, and their goes to popularity contest.
God's faithfulness to Israel
is also God's faithfulness to the Church.
Pretty critically important for us to understand...
Especially because we are surrounded by Israel-haters at the moment ...
I pray for Israel but I darn sure don't have to support them. And I really take umbrage to the zionists (Christian and political) who automatically label anyone who doesn't support their political and theological stances as somehow being "antisemitic".
I quick reading of the book of Galatians (skip to the third chapter if you don't care to read the whole book) pretty much seals the deal that there is ONE Olive tree and that all of the covenants roll into the New Covenant as a glorious crescendo - all accomplished through the Life, Death and Resurrection of Jesus as the Lord and Savior to anyone who comes to faith in him and repents.
Remember what Jesus told Nicodemus that he MUST do the night he came to visit our Lord?

Paul was not a Jew, he was of the tribe of Benjamin
Yes but the two tribes that were left in the south after Israel was no more all fell under Judah. So they all became Jews. The same as the other ten tribes of Israel in the north were called Ephraim, because Ephraim was the biggest tribe.
@@botlhalenxumalo280 still incorrect and Paul never called himself a jew and made sure to stress his distinction. Not going to argue modern semantics with you about this. If you dont have anything important to add then move along

Heiser's "divine council" theology is flawed because he twisted or otherwise distorted key passages, such as Psalm 82, Deuteronomy 32:8, 4:19, and others. Psalm 82 is about human judges, not alleged and speculative "divine beings," since we have no Scripture showing "divine beings" engaging in judging human activity as shown in verses 2-4. It's human judges who have been guilty of what verses 2-4 claim.
I recommend reading the book "The Unbiblical Realm: Refuting the Divine Council of Michael Heiser’s Deuteronomy 32 Worldview" by Heath Henning.
Those interested in videos on this topic can check out my series called "The UnBiblical Realm: Refuting Michael Heiser's Divine Council w/Heath Henning.
Heiser used his liberal education and imported the "divine council" idea into his evangelical views, and has duped the evangelical world into accepting liberal theology cloaked in evangelical garb.
He does hold to the Divine Council view, but it’s not his. He is not the only one.

If you reread matt5&6&7 you will see the difference between the 10 eternal laws. Which Jesus expounded on. Compared to the 600+ temporary ritual laws. Why Jesus NEVER validates these in his teachings is because the ritual religious laws pointed to Jesus death burial and resurrection. The old covenant fulfilled and the new covenant is in effect. The 10 eternal laws compared to the temporary ones!!!!
