Covenant Theft

@FLORAspeaks @Joel7Richardson @RSA_TX @kikas6652 @TuckerCarlson No, they have said repeatedly that the ark rested on the foundation stone, which is under the dome of the rock.

@covenant_theft @Joel7Richardson @RSA_TX @kikas6652 @TuckerCarlson I do not believe they say that - they are just silent on the matter

🚨🚨 WARNING TO THE WORLD! 🚨🚨 The Jews are about to knock down Al-Aqsa Mosque with their mere presence on the Temple Mount so they can build the Third Temple. AND CHRISTIANS ARE PAYING FOR IT! Seriously @TuckerCarlson, I expect better psyops from you.

@RSA_TX @Joel7Richardson @kikas6652 @TuckerCarlson Hence my confusion when they have posted this also. facebook.com/share/p/1YY3bs…

@RSA_TX @Joel7Richardson @kikas6652 @TuckerCarlson They have repeatedly posted that the Holy of Holies was located on the foundation stone in the Dome of the Rock. See below.

@Joel7Richardson @RSA_TX @kikas6652 @TuckerCarlson I still find it fascinating the Temple Institute insists it’s under the dome of the rock, but then they display artwork that shows the temple directly in line with the eastern gate.

@RSA_TX @kikas6652 @TuckerCarlson There's a book called the temple revealed by Christian Widener

@5Solas2 All 4 are correct.

4 ways to interpret the book of Revelation. — R.C. Sproul I hold the Idealist view. What view do you hold?

@BibChr @The_Kyle_Mann “Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief.”

Yes. And I'm afraid well-meaning Christians confirmed that impression. We are saved by faith alone...but you do have to have faith to be saved. Not say, "I'll believe if I wake up in Heaven."

I hope Adams died in saving faith. But nothing in this statement is reassuring. God's perspective is not that we have good reason for demanding that He gives us one more proof before we repent of our unbelief. God's perspective is that every one of us is "without excuse" (Romans 1:20). If your plan is to get into Heaven by penning a technical statement, dying an unbeliever, then becoming a believer if God meets your demand that He buy your faith by rewarding your unbelief with heaven — that's a terrible plan! I urge you to abandon it and flee to Christ right now while you can. The next event after your last breath is not further negotiation. The next event is judgment (Hebrews 9:27) — which in this case will be the pronouncement of a judgment already reached during your unbelieving life (John 3:18). Repent and believe in Jesus now.

@DDFTSM73040 Why do you think the Jews accept AC?

@mennodarren @Joel7Richardson @Mark_Wilson_25 @followffoz Some options presented: - is he talking about the Messianic era or eternal state? - are Matthew and Luke accurately recording what Jesus taught? - two natures of man in the resurrection: resurrected and natural

@mennodarren @Joel7Richardson @Mark_Wilson_25 @followffoz First, let me be clear that these ideas came from individuals, not from FFOZ staff members or the ministry itself. My question was whether there is a precedent for a traditional Jewish belief that Jesus was explaining, as I can't find one.

❖ How does the Post-trib Rapture position answer the Millennial Kingdom repopulation problem? Scripture presents the Millennial Kingdom as a real, earthly reign in which mortal life continues. People live long lives, build houses, plant vineyards, and have children (Isaiah 65:20–23). Nations exist and are required to worship the King in Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:16–19). And at the end of the thousand years, a vast rebellion rises from “the nations” (Revelation 20:7–9). So the question is not whether unbelief can exist at some point later. The question is more precise and foundational: ▶️ Who is allowed to enter the Kingdom at the beginning, on Day One, in natural bodies, to populate it? Many thoughtful Post-trib interpreters answer by suggesting that not all unregenerate people are removed immediately. Some from the nations remain as mortals, the Kingdom begins, children are born, and later generations help explain the final rebellion. That approach is trying to account honestly for all the Kingdom texts, and the impulse is understandable. But it creates tension with several passages that explicitly define Kingdom entry. ▶️ Jesus’ Kingdom-entry gate (John 3) Jesus states the requirement without qualification: Gospel of John 3:3 “No one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” John 3:5 “No one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.” Kingdom entry is not described as gradual, probationary, or delayed. It is categorical. If new birth is required to enter, then unregenerate people are excluded at the gate. ▶️ The Sheep and Goats judgment appears global and final (Matthew 25) Jesus describes His return in glory and the gathering of humanity: Gospel of Matthew 25:31–32 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory… all the nations will be gathered before him…” The separation is decisive: Matthew 25:34 “Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom…” Matthew 25:41 “Depart from me, you who are cursed…” And Jesus closes the scene with finality: Matthew 25:46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.” If “goats” represent the unregenerate, this passage does not appear to leave room for goats entering the Kingdom at its beginning. ▶️ Paul’s inheritance boundaries reinforce the same line Paul repeatedly states that the unrighteous do not inherit the Kingdom: 1 Corinthians 6:9–10 “…wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:21 “…those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Ephesians 5:5 “…no immoral, impure or greedy person… has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.” These statements are not framed as temporary exclusions. They function as boundary markers, not delayed outcomes. ▶️ What about the “nations go up to Jerusalem” passages? Post-trib interpreters rightly point to texts such as: Zechariah 14:16 – nations required to worship the King Isaiah 2:2–3 / Micah 4:1–2 – nations streaming to Zion Agreed: the Millennium includes mortal nations, enforced worship, and population growth. But an important distinction keeps the passages in harmony: ▶️ These texts describe life during the Kingdom. ▶️ John 3 and Matthew 25 describe who may enter the Kingdom at the beginning. And the familiar saying is true: “God has no grandchildren.” Every person born in the Kingdom must personally respond in faith. That fully explains how unbelief can arise later, without requiring unbelievers to be admitted at the gate. This aligns naturally with: Revelation 20:7–8 “When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released… and will go out to deceive the nations…” ❖ Bottom line Post-trib approaches are rightly trying to account for mortal nations in the Millennium. But the clearest Kingdom-entry texts press back: ▶️ Jesus requires new birth to enter the Kingdom (John 3:5). ▶️ Jesus removes goats when the Kingdom begins (Matthew 25:46). ▶️ Paul says the unrighteous do not inherit the Kingdom (1 Corinthians 6:9–10). The most straightforward synthesis is therefore: ▶️ Day One: regenerate mortals enter the Kingdom. ▶️ During the Kingdom: children are born; each must personally believe. ▶️ Later: some refuse, supplying the final rebellion. Paul concludes his rapture teaching with, “Therefore encourage one another with these words” (1 Thessalonians 4:18). Post-trib brothers can rightly say that resurrection hope is deeply encouraging, even through suffering. Yet it is at least worth noticing that the same post-trib framework also anticipates intense Tribulation persecution, including beheading and martyrdom (Revelation 13:7; 20:4). Pre-trib readers see Paul’s exhortation fitting most naturally with a hope that includes real deliverance before that hour, not merely comfort after enduring it (1 Thessalonians 5:9). This approach honors Jesus’ authority at the Kingdom’s entrance, respects the seriousness of His judgment, and allows Paul’s words of comfort to stand as written—without forcing the entry passages to bend.

@Joel7Richardson @mennodarren @Mark_Wilson_25 I have wrestled with this quite a bit. How will we fulfill all of Torah if marriage and reproduction don’t happen? I discussed this with some in @followffoz and got some interesting ideas.

@mennodarren @Mark_Wilson_25 Isaiah is using prophetic poetry, although through the lens of prophetic realism. How do you address Jesus' comments?

@EmmausWire Unwalled villages?

US reportedly brokering another deal between Israel and Syria that would transform the DMZ between the two nations in the Golan Heights into a joint economic zone.

@LostMyHats I think you should read your Bible again.

Dispensational Zionism is a disease. A contagious mind-virus. Imagine thinking the King of Kings will return to exact vengeance…not on those who murdered Him, but on BEHALF of those who murdered Him. Insane. They want to deny His Messiahship, and THEN demand he wipe out their enemies upon His return? Like His role will be Jewish hit man, settling their scores? No. “The Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 1:7-9). Jesus will return to “rule the nations with a rod of iron and turn **HIS** enemies into footstools.” And just who are those enemies? Jesus said “He that is not with me is against me” (Matthew 12:30). Jesus is not returning to be the errand boy and hatchet-man for the Israeli people. He is coming to evict and destroy those who deny Him. And His first stop is Jerusalem.

@DrAlanKurschner I’ve always agreed with you on this…until recently. I’ll follow up later and explain why.

Six Reasons Why the Wicked Are LEFT BEHIND, and the Righteous (Elect) are GATHERED. alankurschner.com/2012/12/04/mat… *Please don't leave a comment here unless you read the entire article.

@TruthSynod Sure, but there’s a lot of other real estate on the planet. Pretty sure we won’t be fighting over territory in the Messianic kingdom.

@covenant_theft Then can those who joined themselves to Israel, who are not ethnic descendants, inherit the land promises too?

No they weren’t, Zionism was not even a movement in existence yet, there wasn’t even a nation called “Israel” at that time bc post Bar Kokhba revolt Rome renamed it, the Israel today didn’t come about until 1948.

@MikeShan2021 That was my thought also.

Head Wound?

Revelation 13:3?

@TruthSynod The covenant from God defines the nation ethnically, with a corresponding physical presence in the land. In addition, the promise is made that they will be granted spiritual redemption, and the nations will be blessed through them.

@covenant_theft Do you see Israel defined genetically or ethnically? Or by covenant? Something else?

@MessianicAge10 Sounds like a difference without a distinction.

@covenant_theft Spurgeon indeed believed in a restoration of a national people, I don’t think that made him Zionist as much as that is what he thinks the texts teach

@MessianicAge10 So how do you view Spurgeon’s remarks about Israel’s political restoration?

@MessianicAge10 Spurgeon: “The meaning of our text, as opened up by the context, is most evidently, if words mean anything, first, that there shall be a political restoration of the Jews to their own land and to their own nationality”

@idols_smash @VerminusM Kingdom of heaven is a circumlocution for God. The NT cannot and does not overturn the physicality of Jerusalem and Israel. Matthew 5:35 [35] or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

Paul said, "It is not the children by physical descent who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring," yet the "Christ is King" people keep screeching Jews don't have enough Jewish genes to live in Israel. Ignoramuses.
